If Manu is 7th from bottom end, Shrey is 10 ranks above Manu and Shrey is 8th from top end,

Then, start from the bottom Manu is 7^th, Shrey is 10 ranks above Manu and 8^th from the top

Hence the total people are: 7 + 10 + (8 - 1) = 24.

Tables are drawn describing symbol their meanings:

Therefore,

10 θ 8 β 4 δ 8 α 9 = ?

→ 10 + 8 × 4 ÷ 8 - 9 = 10 + 8 × 0.5 - 9 = 10 + 4 - 9 = 14 - 9 = 5

Hence, the answer is 5.

On close observation, we find the question fig. is embedded in fig. (1).

Hence, the answer is option 1.

Let present ages of Nihalis x.

Sahil’s age seven years ago (Shahil - 7) = x

Present age of Sahil = x + 7

As per given situation:

(x + 7) - 5 + x + 6 = 58

2x + 8 = 58

x = 50/2

x = 25 = Nihal’s age

Sahil’s present age = 25 + 7

= 32 years

Ruchi’s age = 32 + 4 (given)

= 36 years

Ruchi’s age after 10 years = 36 + 10

= 46 years

Hence, answer is 46.

Biologically, Banana is a fruit, while Ginger is a modified Root.

Just as a banana is a type of fruit, ginger is a type of root (specifically a rhizome, which grows underground). The analogy compares the relationship between each item and its category.

Hence, the correct answer is " Option 1

The pattern followed here is,

Hence, answer is 21.

1. Paint → Representation → can be formed.

2. Senator → Representation → can be formed.

3. Trees → Representation → can be formed.

4. Strict → Representation → cannot be formed as there is no C.

Hence, Strict cannot be formed using the letter of word Representation.

The logic followed here is,

9² A 4² B 3² = 56 → 9² - (4² + 3²) → 81 - (16 + 9) = 56

7² A 2² B 1² = 44 → 7² - (2² + 1²) → 49 - (4 + 1) = 44

Similarly,

11² A 5² B 7² → 11² - (5² + 7²) → 121 - (25 + 49) = 47

Hence, the correct answer is 47.

The least possible Venn diagram for the given statements is as follows:

→ 65 : 82

Same pattern will be followed to answer the question:

→ 145 : ?

→ (12² +1) : (13² + 1) → (144 + 1) : (169 + 1)

→ 145 : 170

Hence, answer is 170.

When the sheet in the question fig. is folded to form a box (cube) then:

The symbol * lies opposite to the symbol #; the symbol % lies opposite to the symbol >; the symbol $ lies opposite to the symbol I.

Hence, the figures (2), (3) and (4) which bear the *, $ and I on adjacent faces cannot possibly be formed by folding the sheet in fig.

Therefore, only cube (1) can be formed.

Hence, the answer is (1).

Parsec is used to measure distance, the barrel is used to measure liquid and a light year is a unit of astronomical distance equivalent to the distance that light travels in one year.

Key Points 

• Parsec - Distance:
• Parsec is a unit of distance used in astronomy. It is equivalent to about 3.26 light-years, or approximately 3.086 × 10¹³ kilometers. It measures the distance at which one astronomical unit subtends an angle of one arcsecond.
• Correct: A parsec is a measure of distance, so this pair is correct.
• Barrel - Liquid:
• A barrel is a unit of volume, commonly used to measure liquids like oil. For example, in the oil industry, one barrel is typically equal to 42 U.S. gallons or about 159 liters.
• Correct: Since a barrel measures liquid volume, this pair is correct.
• Light year – Time:
• A light-year is a unit of distance, not time. It represents the distance that light travels in a vacuum in one year, which is approximately 9.46 trillion kilometers (5.88 trillion miles).
• Incorrect: A light-year measures distance, not time, so this pair is incorrect.

We should check the options

For X = 4

⇒ 2114 which is not a perfect square

For X = 5

⇒ 2115, which is not a perfect square

For X = 6

⇒ 2116 = 46², which is a perfect square

For X = 9

⇒ 2119, which is not a perfect square

∴ For X = 6, it is a perfect square

Calculation:

Using angle sum property in triangle PQR

⇒ 3x + 2x + 4x = 180

⇒ 9x = 180

⇒ x = 20

Let the point where PQ intersects TS be A

∠(QAS) = ∠(RPQ) (∵ PR || TS)

Using angle sum property in triangle QSA

⇒ 3x + y + 2x = 180

⇒ y = 180 - 5x

⇒ y = 180 - 100 = 80

Supplementary of y = 180 - 80 = 100

∴ The measure of supplementary of y is 100.

For a triangle with sides a, b and c, according to the triangle inequality,

⇒ a + b > c, b + c > a, c + a > b

Let a = 983 and b = 893

Now, a + b > c

⇒ 983 + 893 > c

⇒ c < 1876

Also, b + c > a

⇒ c > a - b

⇒ c > 983 - 893

⇒ c > 90

Hence, we get,

⇒ c = 91, 92, …., 1875

∴ No. of triangles possible = 1875 - 90 = 1785

Runs scored against Pakistan can be given as 12% of 1600 = 12 × 1600/100 = 192

∴ Runs scored against Pakistan are 192

Difference between the runs scored against England and Pakistan = 21% - 12% = 9%

Which is same as that of Australia and New Zealand = 25% - 16% = 9%

∴ The answer is Australia and New Zealand

Since we know that a³ + b³ + c³ - 3abc = (a + b + c)(a² + b² + c² - ab - bc - ca)

Put the value of a, b and c

 ⇒ a³ + b³ + c³ - 3abc = (73 + 74 + 75)(73² + 74² + 75² - 73 × 74 - 74 × 75 - 75 × 73)

⇒ a³ + b³ + c³ - 3abc = (222) × (5329 + 5476 + 5625 - 5402 - 5550 - 5475)

⇒ a³ + b³ + c³ - 3abc = 222 × 3 = 666

∴ the value of a³ + b³ + c³ - 3abc is 666

Alternate MethodWe know that a3 + b3 + c3 - 3abc = (a + b + c)(a2 + b2 + c2 - ab - bc - ca)

Multiplying both the sides by 2, we get

2(a3 + b3 + c3 - 3abc) = 2(a + b + c)(a2 + b2 + c2 - ab - bc - ca)

⇒ 2(a3 + b3 + c3 - 3abc) = (a + b + c)(2a2 + 2b2 + 2c2 - 2ab - 2bc - 2ca)

⇒ 2(a3 + b3 + c3 - 3abc) = (a + b + c) [(a - b)2 + (b - c)2 + (c - a)2]

⇒ 2(a3 + b3 + c3 - 3abc) = (73 + 74 + 75) [(73 - 74)2 + (74 - 75)2 + (75 - 73)2]

⇒ 2(a3 + b3 + c3 - 3abc) = (222) × (1 + 1 + 4)

⇒ (a3 + b3 + c3 - 3abc) = (1/2) × (222) × (1 + 1 + 4)

⇒ (a3 + b3 + c3 - 3abc) = 111 × 6 = 666

Difference between the runs scored against Australia and Sri Lanka = 25% - 9% = 16%

Difference between the runs scored against Australia and Sri Lanka = 16% of 1600 = 256

∴ The difference in the runs scored against Australia and Sri Lanka is 256 runs

Total Runs scored by Australia and New Zealand = 25% + 16% = 41%

Total Runs scored by Sri Lanka and Pakistan = 12% + 9% = 21%

Difference Between them is 41% - 21% = 20%

Angle can be given as

⇒ 20 × 360/100 = 72

∴ The angle subtended by sector is 72

Let the cost price be Rs. y and selling price be Rs. Z

According to the problem statement

⇒ 48y = 32z

⇒ y = 2z/3       ----(i)

Profit can be given as = selling price - cost price

= z - y Now using (i)

Profit = z - 2z/3 = z/3

⇒ Profit percentage can be given as = (z/3) × 100/(2z/3) = 50%

∴ The profit percentage is 50%

Let the cost price of the article be Rs. y

According to the problem statement

Marked price can be given as y(1 + 40/100) = 1.4y

Now the 15% discount on the marked price = 1.4y(1 - 15/100)= 1.19y

Profit can be given as = 1.19y - y = 0.19y

⇒ Profit percentage =0.19y × 100/y = 19%

∴ Profit percentage = 19%

Let the number’s be x, x + 1, x + 2, x + 3, x + 4, x + 5, x + 6 and x + 7

Their average can be written as

⇒ (x + x + 1 + x + 2 + x + 3 + x + 4 + x + 5 + x + 6 + x + 7)/8 = 38.5

⇒ 8x + 28 = 308

⇒ x = 35

∴ The largest number is x + 7 = 35 + 7 = 42

Let the number of days required by them to do the job is y days’

Work done by a man in 1 day is given as = 1/(2 × 96)

Work done by a woman in 1 day is given as = 1/(3 × 96)

From the problem’s statement

⇒ (6y)/( 2 ×96) + (7y)/( 3 ×96) = 1

⇒ y = 18

∴ The number of days required are 18 days

Let the initial sum be y

According to the problem statement

⇒ y(1 - 12/100)(1 - 25/100) = 2508

⇒ y × 0.88 × 0.75 = 2508

⇒ y = 3800

∴ The value of initial sum is 3800

Their relative speed = 30 + 45 = 75 km/hr.

To convert it into m/s multiply it with 5/18

⇒ 75 × 5/18 = 125/6 m/s

Now the total distance to be travelled = 450 + 550 = 1000m

Time required by slower train to cross faster is = 1000/(125/6) = 1000 × 6/125 = 48s

∴ The time required by small train to cross the faster train is 48s

Given, x - 1/x = 3

Squaring both sides,

⇒ (x - 1/x)² = 3²

⇒ x² + 1/x² - 2 = 9

⇒ x² + 1/x² = 11

Now, we can write,

⇒ (2x⁴ + 2) = 2x²(x² + 1/x²) = 2x²(11) = 22x²

⇒ (3x³ - 3x) = 3x²(x - 1/x) = 3x²(3) = 9x²

⇒ (3x⁴ + 3) = 3x²(x² + 1/x²) = 3x²(11) = 33x²

Hence,

(2x⁴ + 3x³ + 13x² - 3x + 2) / (3x⁴ + 3)

= (22x² + 9x² + 13x²)/33x²

= 44x²/33x²

= 44/33

= 4/3

Given x² + (1/x²) = 31/9, add 2 to both sides

⇒ x² + (1/x²) + 2 = 31/9 + 2

⇒(x + 1/x)² = 7²/3²

⇒ x + 1/x = 7/3       ----(i), Cube both sides

⇒(x + 1/x)³ = (7/3)³

⇒ x³ + 1/x³ + 3(1 + 1/x) = 343/27 Using (i)

⇒ x³ + 1/x³ + 3 × 7/3 = 343/27

⇒ x³ + 1/x³ = 343/27 - 7 = 154/27

∴ The value of x³ + 1/x³ is 154/27

To find the value of required expression put x = 0, expression reduces to

⇒ (6/2)/(12/4)

⇒ 1

∴ the value of the given expression is 1

Put A = 0

And we know that sec (0) = 1 and tan (0) = 0

⇒ sec⁶ A - tan⁶ A - 3 sec² A tan² A = 1 - 0 - 3 × 1 × 0 = 1

∴ the value of sec⁶ A - tan⁶ A - 3 sec² A tan² A is 1

Given:

Rate = 10%

Formula used:

SI =(PRT)/100

Calculation:

Let the amount lent be Rs. y

According to the problem statement

⇒  500 + y = (y × 10 × 20)/100

⇒  500 = 2y - y

⇒ y = 500

∴ The sum lent is Rs. 500

Confusion Points

In the question it is given that the interest is 500 more than the sum lent.

Interest = Sum + 500

Let the share of A, B and C be x, y and z respectively

According to the problem statement

⇒ 3x = 2y

⇒ 3x/2 = y       ----(i)

Now,

⇒ 3x = 12z

⇒ x/4 = z        ----(ii)

Now the ratio of their profit will be same as that of their investment

⇒ x : y : z,

Now using (i) and (ii)

⇒ x : 3x/2 : x/4

⇒ 4 : 6 : 1

∴ The required ratio is 4 : 6 : 1

From the property of circle we know that

⇒ TP² = AP × (PB)

⇒ 4(x + 4) = 6² = 36

⇒ x = 5      ----(i)

Now join TA, in triangle TAP, using Pythagoras theorem since ∠TAP is 90

⇒ TP² = TA² + PA²

⇒ TA = √(6² - 4²)

⇒ TA = 2√5      ----(ii)

In triangle TAB, using Pythagoras theorem since ∠TAB is 90

⇒ TB² = TA² + BA² Using (i) and (ii)

⇒ TB = 2 ×radius = √(2√5² + 5²) = 3√5

⇒ radius = (3√5)/2

∴ The radius of the circle is (3√5)/2

Let the initial radius be r and height be 100 and final height be h

Final radius can be written as = r(1 - 20/100)

Final radius is 0.8r

Since we know that the volume remains same

⇒ initial volume = final volume

⇒ πr² × 100 = π(0.8r)²h

⇒ 100/0.64 = h

⇒ h = 156.25

Increase in height = 156.25 - 100 = 56.25

∴ Percentage increase in height is 56.25%

(cosec A - sin A)(sec A - cos A)(tan A + cot A)

⇒ (1 - sin²θ)(1 - cos²θ)(1 + cot²θ)/ sinθ × cosθ × cotθ 

⇒ cos²θ ×  sin²θ × cosec²θ/ sinθ × cosθ × cotθ 

⇒ 1

Given:

PQ = 24 cm

PR = 12 cm

PS = 8 cm

Formula Used:

Circumradius = $\frac{abc}{4(Area\ of\ Triangle)}$

Where a,b and c are the sides of the triangle

Calculation:

In ΔPQR,

Height = PS = 8 cm

Base = QR = x cm

Area of ΔPQR = (1/2) × (x) × 8 = 4x

Circumradius = $\frac{PQ\times PR\times QR}{4(Area\ of\ Triangle)}$

⇒ Circumradius = $\frac{24\times 12\times x}{4(4x)}$

⇒ Circumradius = 18 cm

Given expression (cos⁴ A - sin⁴ A) can be written as (cos² A - sin² A) (cos² A + sin² A)

Since we know that cos² A + sin² A = 1 and cos² A - sin² A = cos 2A

⇒ (cos⁴ A - sin⁴ A) = cos 2A × 1

∴ the value of cos⁴ A - sin⁴ A is cos 2A

The correct answer is: Option 1.
