Given that the product of the two numbers in each pair is 2160 and the
HCF of the two numbers in each pair is 12.

Let those numbers are ‘a’ and ‘b’.

HCF(a,b) = 12

We can write, a = 12m and b = 12n where m and n are co-prime.

Also , ab = 2160

⇒ (12m)(12n)=2160

⇒ 144mn = 2160

Now there are two cases

Either m = 5 and n = 3

Or m = 15 and n =1

So , Either a = 60 and b = 36

As we can see from here all sides are of different length, then the triangle
will be a scalene triangle,

Then, the area of triangle = where

a, b, c are the sides of the triangle.

Here, s =

S=

Put the value of each term, then you will get,

Area = =

Hence, option C is correct.

76. Ans. C.

The angles of a triangle are 30° and 45° and the included side is ( +1)
cm

1st angle = 30°

2nd angle = 45°

3rd angle = 180 –(30 + 45) = 1050

Then angle 1050 will be opposite to ( +1) cm side

42

Similarly x cm is the side opposite to 45o angle.

We can use here sin rule.

After solving you will get X = 2 cm

Area =

Area =

Area = ( +1) cm2

Hence, option C is correct.

77. Ans. D.

Now, as we know that the diagonal of a parallelogram cut the

parallelogram in to four equal parts i.e, the area of the triangles formed
by the diagonals should always be equal in a parallelogram( property of a
parallelogram)

i.e, Ar(ABO) = Ar(BCO) = Ar( DOC) = Ar(DOA)

we can also easily prove that the triangles DOE and EOC are congruent to
each other

i.e Ar( DOE) = Ar( EOC) = Ar(DOC) = Ar(ABCD)

then Ar(remaining portion after removal of the triangle DOE) =

Ar(ABCD)

, now , we have to find the ratio of area of remaining portion of the plate

to the whole =

Hence, option D is correct.

78. Ans. C.

AD BC & AO = 5 cm (Radius)

Assume OD = x cm & DC = BD = y cm, AD = 5 + x

If x = then correct option will be either A or D

Now we will check whether x = 1 or x = n satisfy equation (1)

Put x = 1 in equation (1)

Put x = n in equation (1)

This means x = n does not satisfy equation (1)

Hence correct option will be A.

Put n = 2 ,

Put n = 3 ,

Clearly, Sum of digits of =9n , where is a natural number.

Given that a number divides 12288, 28200 and 44333 so as to leave the
same remainder in each case.

⇒ ……………(4)

46

Subtract (1) from (3)

Subtract (2) from (3)

From (4) , (5) & (6) we can say that 15912 , 32045 and 16133 all are
divisible by x

HCF (15912 , 16133, 32045) = HCF {(16133-15912) , ( 32045 – 16133) ,

(32045 – 15912)}

= HCF(221 , 15912 , 16133) = 221

Hence , x = 221

221 divides 12288, 28200 and 44333 so as to leave the same remainder
in each case.

Price of article X was ₹ 5000 and price of article Y was ₹ 2000 in the year

Price of article Y =

Difference = 7200 – 2420 = Rs. 4780 which is less than 5000

In 2013 , Price of article X =

Price of article Y =

Difference = 8640 – 2662 = Rs. 5978 which is more than 5000

Hence , Required year = 2013

84. Ans. D.

Let a sum of Rs. x was put at simple interest at rate of r % per annum for
2 years.

⇒ …………..(1)

Had it been put at 1% higher rate of interest, it would have fetched ₹24
more.

85. Ans. D.

Population of first village = 1525

Ratio of male to female population in the first village is 27 : 34

If male population in the first village is 27x then number of female in the
first village will be 34x

⇒ 61x = 1525

⇒ x = 25

Hence, population of male in the first village =

population of female in the first village =

Population of second village =2600

Ratio of male to female population in the second village is 6:

If male population in the second village is 6y then number of female in

the second village will be 7y

⇒ 13y = 2600

⇒ y = 200

Hence, population of male in the second village =

population of female in the second village =

Total number of male in both villages = 675 +1200 = 1875

Total number of Female in both villages = 850 +1400 = 2250

Required Ratio = 1875 : 2250 = 5:6

X may be -495, -486, ……………..-4, -13 , -22, ………….., 495 ( common

difference = 9)

It is nothing but an A.P having 1st term = -495 & last term = 495 and d (
