Question : If $b=5$, determine the value of an expression $\left(\frac{5}{b}+5b\right)\left(\frac{25}{b^{2}}-25+25 b^2\right)$ using an identity.
Option 1: 25,726
Option 2: 15,626
Option 3: 15,438
Option 4: 25,636
Correct Answer: 15,626
Solution : $(\frac{5}{b}+5 b)(\frac{25}{b^{2}}-25+25 b^2)$ This equation is in the form of $(x+y)(x^{2}–xy+y^{2})$ We know $x^{3}+y^{3}=(x+y)(x^{2}–xy+y^{2})$ So, $x = \frac{5}{b}$ and $y = 5b$ Putting the value of $b = 5$ we get, $x^{3}+y^{3} = (\frac{5}{5})^{3} + (5\times 5)^{3}$ Or, $x^{3}+y^{3}= 1+15625 = 15626$ Hence, the correct

Question : Directions: Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as the numbers of the following sets. (NOTE: Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into their constituent digits. E.g. 13 - operations on 13 such as adding/subtracting/multiplying etc. to 13 can be performed. Breaking down 13 into 1 and 3 and then performing mathematical operations on 1 and 3 is NOT allowed.) (82, 35, 78) (18, 27, 30)
Option 1: (21, 27, 24)
Option 2: (15, 36, 38)
Option 3: (27, 33, 40)
Option 4: (20, 25, 32)
Correct Answer: (27, 33, 40)
Solution : Given: (82, 35, 78); (18, 27, 30)
In the given sets, divide the sum of the first two numbers by 3 and then multiply by 2 to get the third number. (82, 35, 78)→{(82 + 35) ÷ 3} × 2 = {117 ÷
Question : Steel is used to make a hemispherical bowl that is 0.37 cm thick. The bowl's inner radius is 6 cm. Find the bowl's outside curved surface area (take $\pi=\frac{22}{7}$).
Option 1: 532 cm2
Option 2: 255.0548 cm2
Option 3: 484 cm2
Option 4: 523.4107 cm2
Correct Answer: 255.0548 cm2
Solution : Given: Steel is used to make a hemispherical bowl that is 0.37 cm thick. The bowl's inner radius is 6 cm. According to the formula, ⇒ Outer radius = 6 + 0.37 = 6.37 cm $\therefore$ Curved surface area = 2 × 227
Question : If a speed of rotation of the earth increases, the weight of the body
Option 1:
Option 2:
Option 3:
Option 4:
Correct Answer:
Solution : The correct answer is decreases.
According to centrifugal acceleration formulae, as angular speed increases, the net acceleration due to gravity decreases. As a result, the weight will reduce. Alternatively, as the rotational speed of earth increases, the gravity at equator decreases and as a result the
Question : Select the most appropriate SYNONYM of the underlined word in the given sentence. Truth can never be concealed from anyone.
Option 1: Separated
Option 2: Borrowed
Option 3: Disguised
Option 4: Snatched
Correct Answer: Disguised
Solution : The correct choice is the third option.
In the given sentence, the word concealed is used to convey the idea that truth cannot be hidden or kept secret from anyone. Among the options, disguised is the most suitable choice, as it implies altering the
Question : Directions: If X – Y means that X is the mother of Y, X × Y means that X is the father of Y and X ÷ Y means that X is the sister of Y, then which of the following expressions shows that Q is the son of P?

Option 2: P – Q × R
Option 3: Q – P × R
Option 4: R × Q – P
Correct Answer: P – Q × R
Solution : Given: X – Y means that X is the mother of Y. X × Y means that X is the father of Y. X ÷ Y means that X is the sister of Y.
Now, let's check the options – First

Question : What is the LCM of $\left(8 x^3+80 x^2+200 x\right)$ and $\left(4 x^4+16 x^3-20 x^2\right)$?
Option 1: $8 x^2(x+5)^2(x-1)$
Option 2: $8 x^2(x-1)^2(x+5)$
Option 3: $4 x^2(x-1)^2(x+5)$
Option 4: $4 x^2(x+5)^2(x-1)$
Correct Answer: $8 x^2(x+5)^2(x-1)$
Solution : Consider, $(8 x^3+80 x^2+200 x)$ Taking $8x$ as common, we get, $=8x(x^2+10x+25)$ $=8x(x^2+5x+5x+25)$ $=8x(x(x+5)+5(x+5))$ $=8x(x+5)^2$ Now consider, $(4 x^4+16 x^3-20 x^2)$ Taking $4x^2$ as common, we get, $=4x^2(x^2 + 4x-5)$ $=4x^2(x^2-x+5x-5)$ $=4x^2(x(x-1)+5(x-1))$ $=4x^2(x-1)(x+5)$ $\therefore$ LCM $=8x^2(x+5)^2(x-1)$ Hence, the correct answer is $8x^2(x+5)^2(x-1)$.
Question : Study the given chart and answer the following question. What is the central angle corresponding to the production of steel by Kerala?
Option 1: $82^\circ$
Option 2: $65.8^\circ$
Option 3: $75.2^\circ$
Option 4: $72^\circ$
Correct Answer: $72^\circ$
Solution : From the pie chart provided: Total production = 220 + 240 + 180 + 160 + 200 = 1000 Production in Kerala = 200 Central angle = $\frac{\text{Production in kerala}}{\text{Total production}}\times 360^\circ$ = $\frac{200}{1000}\times 360^\circ$ = $72^\circ$ Hence, the correct answer is $72^\circ$.
