A. 0 B. 1 C. 10 D. 19

Answer & Explanation:
1. Answer: Option D
Explanation: Let number of notes of each denomination be x. Then x + 5x + 10x = 480 16x = 480 x = 30. Hence, total number of notes = 3x = 90.
2. Answer: Option C
Explanation: Let the number of students in rooms A and B be x and y respectively. Then, x - 10 = y + 10 x - y = 20 .... (i) and x + 20 = 2(y - 20) x - 2y = -60 .... (ii) Solving (i) and (ii) we get: x = 100 , y = 80. The required answer A = 100.
3. Answer: Option D
Explanation: Let the cost of a chair and that of a table be Rs. x and Rs. y respectively. Then, 10x = 4y or y = [latex]\frac{5}{2}[/latex]x 15x + 2y = 4000 15x + 2 x [latex]\frac{5}{2}[/latex]x= 4000 20x = 4000 x = 200. So, y =([latex]\frac{5}{2}[/latex]x 200)= 500. Hence, the cost of 12 chairs and 3 tables = 12x + 3y = Rs. (2400 + 1500) = Rs. 3900.
4. Answer: Option D
Explanation: Suppose the man works overtime for x hours. Now, working hours in 4 weeks = (5 x 8 x 4) = 160. 160 x 2.40 + x x 3.20 = 432 3.20x = 432 - 384 = 48 x = 15. Hence, total hours of work = (160 + 15) = 175.

8. Answer: Option B
Explanation: In this series, each number is repeated, then 13 is subtracted to arrive at the next number.
9. Answer: Option A
Explanation: [latex]x^{2}[/latex] + 5x - 3x - 15 = 0 x(x + 5) - 3(x + 5) = 0 (x - 3)(x + 5) = 0 => x = 3 or x = -5.
10. Answer: Option A
Explanation: 2[latex]x^{2}[/latex] + 6x - 3x - 9 = 0 2x(x + 3) - 3(x + 3) = 0 (x + 3)(2x - 3) = 0 => x = -3 or x = [latex]\frac{3}{2}[/latex].
11. Answer: Option D
Explanation: The discriminant of the quadratic equation is [latex](-12)^{2}[/latex] - 4(3)(10) i.e., 24. As this is positive but not a perfect square, the roots are irrational and unequal.
12. Answer: Option C
Explanation: Any quadratic equation is of the form [latex]x^{2}[/latex] - (sum of the roots)x + (product of the roots) = 0 ---- (1) where x is a real variable. As sum of the roots is 13 and product of the roots is -140, the quadratic equation with roots as 20 and -7 is: [latex]x^{2}[/latex] - 13x - 140 = 0.
13. Answer: Option B
Explanation: Speed = ([latex]\frac{600}{5 * 60}[/latex])m/sec. = 2 m/sec. Converting m/sec to km/hr =(2 * [latex]\frac{18}{5}[/latex]) = 7.2 km/hr.
14. Answer: Option D
Explanation: Distance = (240 x 5) = 1200 km. Speed = [latex]\frac{Distance}{Time}[/latex] Speed = (1200*[latex]\frac{5}{3}[/latex]) km/hr.
15. Answer: Option A
Explanation: Let the actual distance travelled be x km. Then,[latex]\frac{x}{10}[/latex]= [latex]\frac{x + 20}{14}[/latex] 14x = 10x + 200 4x = 200 x = 50 km.
16. Answer: Option B
Explanation: Due to stoppages, it covers 9 km less. Time taken to cover 9 km =([latex]\frac{9}{54}[/latex] * 60)min = 10 min
17. Answer: Option B
Explanation: Let the total profit be Rs. 100. After paying to charity, A's share = Rs.(95 * [latex]\frac{3}{5}[/latex])= Rs. 57 If A's share is Rs. 57, total profit = Rs. 100. If A's share Rs. 855, total profit =([latex]\frac{100}{57}[/latex] * 885)= 1500.
18. Answer: Option B
Explanation: For managing, A received = 5% of Rs. 7400 = Rs. 370. Balance = Rs. (7400 - 370) = Rs. 7030. Ratio of their investments = (6500 x 6) : (8400 x 5) : (10000 x 3) = 39000 : 42000 : 30000 = 13 : 14 : 10 B's share = Rs.(7030 * [latex]\frac{14}{37}[/latex])= Rs. 2660.
19. Answer: Option D
Explanation: Let C = x. Then, B = x + 5000 and A = x + 5000 + 4000 = x + 9000. So, x + x + 5000 + x + 9000 = 50000 3x = 36000 x = 12000 A : B : C = 21000 : 17000 : 12000 = 21 : 17 : 12. A's share = Rs.(35000 x [latex]\frac{21}{50}[/latex])= Rs. 14,700.
20. Answer: Option C
Explanation: Let the initial investments of A and B be 3x and 5x. A : B : C = (3x * 12) : (5x * 12) : (5x * 6) = 36 : 60 : 30 = 6 : 10 : 5.
21. Answer: Option B
Explanation: Let C.P. of each article be Re. 1 C.P. of x articles = Rs. x. S.P. of x articles = Rs. 20. Profit = Rs. (20 - x). ([latex]\frac{20 - x}{x}[/latex] * 100 = 25) 2000 - 100x = 25x 125x = 2000 x = 16.
22. Answer: Option B
Explanation: Let C.P. be Rs. x and S.P. be Rs. y. Then, 3(y - x) = (2y - x) y = 2x. Profit = Rs. (y - x) = Rs. (2x - x) = Rs. x. Profit % = ([latex]\frac{x}{x}[/latex] * 100)= 100%
23. Answer: Option B
Explanation: Let C.P.= Rs. 100. Then, Profit = Rs. 320, S.P. = Rs. 420. New C.P. = 125% of Rs. 100 = Rs. 125 New S.P. = Rs. 420. Profit = Rs. (420 - 125) = Rs. 295. Required percentage =([latex]\frac{295}{420}[/latex] * 100)%= [latex]\frac{1475}{21}[/latex]% = 70% (approximately)
24. Answer: Option C
Explanation: C.P. of 6 toffees = Re. 1 S.P. of 6 toffees = 120% of Re. 1 = Rs.[latex]\frac{6}{5}[/latex] For Rs.[latex]\frac{6}{5}[/latex], toffees sold = 6. For Re. 1, toffees sold =(6*[latex]\frac{5}{6}[/latex])= 5.
25. Answer: Option D
Explanation: For Ist year, S.I = C.I Thus, Rs.16 is the S.I on S.I for 1 year, which at 8% is thus Rs.200 i.e.S.I on the principal for 1 year is Rs.200 Principal = Rs. (100×2008×1)=Rs.2500 Amount for 2 years, compounded half-yearly =Rs.[2500×(1+4100)4]=Rs.2924.64 C.I = Rs.424.64 Also, S.I = Rs.(2500×8×2100)=Rs.400 Hence, [(C.I)-(S.I)] = Rs. (424.64-400)=Rs.24.64
26. Answer: Option C
Explanation: S.I for 1 year = Rs.1440 S.I on Rs.1440 for 1 year = Rs.160 Hence, rate percent = 160*[latex]\frac{100}{1440}[/latex]
27. Answer: Option B
Explanation: Principal = (Present value of Rs.121 due 1 year hence ) + (Present value of Rs.121 due 2 years ) = Rs. 121(1+[latex]\frac{10}{100}[/latex])+121(1+[latex]\frac{10}{100}[/latex])2 =Rs.210
28. Answer: Option D
Explanation: Amount of Rs. 100 for 1 year when compounded half-yearly= Rs.[100 * (1 + [latex]\frac{3}{100})^{2}[/latex]]= Rs. 106.09 Effective rate = (106.09 - 100)% = 6.09%
29. Answer: Option C
Explanation: S.I. for 1 year = Rs. (854 - 815) = Rs. 39. S.I. for 3 years = Rs.(39 x 3) = Rs. 117. Principal = Rs. (815 - 117) = Rs. 698.
30. Answer: Option D
Explanation: Principal= Rs.[latex]\frac{100 x 4016.25}{9*5}[/latex] = Rs.[latex]\frac{401625}{45}[/latex] = Rs. 8925.
31. Answer: Option B
Explanation: Time = [latex]\frac{100 x 81}{450 x 4.5}[/latex]years = 4 years
32. Answer: Option B
Explanation: Let rate = R% and time = R years. Then, [latex]\frac{1200 * R * R}{100}[/latex]= 432 12R2 = 432 R2 = 36 R = 6.
33. Answer: Option C
Explanation: Suppose the vessel initially contains 8 litres of liquid. Let x litres of this liquid be replaced with water. Quantity of water in new mixture =(3-[latex]\frac{3x}{8}[/latex]+x)litres Quantity of syrup in new mixture =(5-[latex]\frac{5x}{8}[/latex]+x)litres (3-[latex]\frac{3x}{8}[/latex]+x) = (5-[latex]\frac{5x}{8}[/latex]+x) 5x + 24 = 40 - 5x 10x = 16 x =[latex]\frac{8}{5}[/latex] . So, part of the mixture replaced =([latex]\frac{8}{5}[/latex] * [latex]\frac{1}{8}[/latex])= [latex]\frac{1}{5}[/latex]
34. Answer: Option D
Explanation: Amount of milk left after 3 operations =[40(1-[latex]\frac{4}{40})^{3}[/latex]]litres = (40 * [latex]\frac{9}{10}[/latex]*[latex]\frac{9}{10}[/latex]*[latex]\frac{9}{10}[/latex])= 29.16 litres
35. Answer: Option B
Explanation: In the mixture of 45 litre, Milk =[latex]\frac{45}{5}[/latex]*4 = 36 litre, Water =[latex]\frac{45}{5}[/latex]*× 1 = 9 litre New ratio,= 9 + 3 : 36 + 4 = 12 : 40 = 3 : 10
36. Answer: Option B
Explanation: Total mixture = 48 + 144 = 192 litre % of Glycerin = [latex]\frac{48}{192}[/latex] × 100 = 25% = % of Rose water = 75% In the final mixture glycerin= 30%, Rose water = 70% Ratio = 30 : 70 = 3 : 7 (48 – D × 25% + 32) : (144 – D × 75% + 48) = 3 : 7 7 (48 – D × 25% + 32) = 3 (144 – D × 75% + 48) 7 (80 – 0.25 D) = 3 (192 – 0.75 D) 560 – 1.75 D = 576 – 2.25 D 2.25 D – 1.75 D = 576 – 560 0.5 D = 16 D = 32 litre
37. Answer: Option C
Explanation: Let the shares of A, B, C and D be Rs. 5x, Rs. 2x, Rs. 4x and Rs. 3x respectively. Then, 4x - 3x = 1000 x = 1000. B's share = Rs. 2x = Rs. (2 x 1000) = Rs. 2000.
38. Answer: Option B
Explanation: (x * 5) = (0.75 * 8) x =[latex]\frac{6}{5}[/latex]= 1.20
39. Answer: Option A
Explanation: Total sale for 5 months = Rs. (6435 + 6927 + 6855 + 7230 + 6562) = Rs. 34009. Required sale = Rs. [ (6500 x 6) - 34009 ] = Rs. (39000 - 34009) = Rs. 4991.

Explanation:

34. Answer: Option B
Explanation: Routers operate at layer 3. LAN switches operate at layer 2. Ethernet hubs operate at layer 1. Word processing applications communicate to the Application layer interface, but do not operate at layer 7, so the answer would be none
35. Answer: Option E
Explanation: Routers provide packet switching, packet filtering, internetwork communication, and path selection.
36. Answer: Option D
Explanation: A receiving host can control the transmitter by using flow control (TCP uses Windowing by default). By decreasing the window size, the receiving host can slow down the transmitting host so the receiving host does not overflow its buffers.
37. Answer: Option C
Explanation: Flow control allows the receiving device to control the transmitter so the receiving device's buffer does not overflow.
38. Answer: Option D
Explanation: An IPv6 address is 128 bits long.
