Mathematics-Answers With Explanations 1. d) 18SJZ808 Here each letter is jumped to the next letter in the english alphabet,like Ato 8, Bto Cand Cto D. K-L,H,R·S,A-8, L·M,A-8 H·l. A-8, R·S, H, Y·Z,A·8, N·O, A-8 2.a) Friday 28 days are divisible by 7.8utJanuary has 31 days. Here three days are excess.So February 17 will be three days after Sunday, ie. Wednesday. February 2010 has only 28 days. so there will be no change and the March 17 will be Wednesday. 17+7=24. So March 24 is again Wednesday. 25th Thursday and 26th Friday. 3.b) 9547104 Here we can assume that each letter in the word t eaching is associated with a corresponding figure in the term 95247013.so we have 9 fort, 5for e.2 for a and so on.From the code learning,n=1,i=O So the Word technic can be coded as t(9)e(5)c(4) h(7)n(1)i(O)c(4) 4.d) Rs.3and Rs.5 5 Pencils+ 7Pens = Rs.50 ....... (1) 7 pencils+ 5 pens= Rs.46 .......... (2) multiply equation (1) by 7 35 Pencils+ 49 Pens= Rs.350 .......(3) multiply equation (2) by 5 35 pencils+ 25 pens= Rs.230 .......... (4) subtracting equation (4) from (3) 0 pencils+ 24 pens= Rs.120 24 pens = Rs. 120 1 pen = Rs.120/24 = Rs.5

5 Pencils= Rs.50 · Rs. 35 = Rs.15. so 1 Pencil= Rs.15/5 = Rs.3 One Pencil Rs. 3 and One Pen Rs. 5 5. The last term of the series may be a WRONG ENTRY. if it is 32,the answer will be d)64 The Powers of 2are given as a series. 1.2.4,8,16,32,64 etc each next term can be calculated by multiplying the terms with 2. 6.b)20 Here the Rule BOD MAS should be followed.So the operations are carried out in the order Bracket, Of, Division, Multiplication, Addition and Subtraction. 20+4·2x6/3 =20+4 · 2x2 = 20+4·4 =20 7.c) 615 To get the Amount with the Compound interest. A= P(1 + R/1 00)" = 6000 X( 1 + 5/100) 1 = 6000 X(105/100 ~ 105/100) =6x11025/10 = 11025 x3/5 = 2205 X3 =6615 The Compound Interest= 6615 · 6000 = 615. 8.a) 225 We know, the sum of 1'+23+3 3+ .... +n3 [n(n+1)/2]' Here,n =5. So the sum of cubes of consecutive numbers =[5x6/2] 1 = [5x 3] 1 = 1S 1 = 225 9.c) 13 (256)'" + (729)1/J = 4 + 9 = 13 [4' = 256.so 256 '" = 4. 93 = 729.so 729 113 = 9] 10.d) 0 (x-a) (X·b) (X·C) ........ (x-z) = (X·a) (X·b) (X·C) •••.•. (x-x) .. (X·Z) = (x·a) (x·b) (x-c) ...... (0) .. (x-z) = 0 11.a) 75% If side = a, the area = a' If side becomes a/2, then area becomes (a/2)1 = a'/4 The old area was a' The new area is a'/4 So the area is decreased by a' · a1/4 = 3/4 xa'= 75/100 xa' = 75% 12.d) 133 Given that A/7 = 19 then A= 19x7 = 133 B.c) 100 9.7x9.7 + 2x9.7x.3 + .3x.3 = ? a' + 2ab + b' = (a+b)' 9.7x9.7 + 2x9.7x.3 + .3x.3 = (9.7 + .3) 1 = 10' =100 14.b)5:6 Eliminating the Common Factors of 470 and 564 470:564 = 2 X(235:282) = 2X47 X(5:6) So the ratio is 5 :6 15.c) 0.15 The square root of 225 is 15 0.0225 has four places after the decimal point. so the square root should have two places after th~ecimal point. so 0.0225= 0.15
