Question : In an examination, the average marks of a student per paper were 71. If he had obtained 35 more marks in sciences; 11 more marks in history and 4 more marks in computer science, his average marks per paper would have been 76. How many papers were there in the examination?
Option 1: 10
Option 2: 12
Option 3: 18
Option 4: 15
Correct Answer: 10
Solution : Average marks of a student per paper = 71 Let $n$ be the number of papers. Total marks scored = $71n$ New average = 76 New total = $76n$ ⇒ $71n + 35 + 11 + 4 = 76n$ ⇒ $5n = 50$ ⇒ $n

Question : The radius of the incircle of an equilateral $\Delta$ ABC of side $2\sqrt{3}$ cm is $x$ cm. The value of $x$ is:
Option 1: $\frac{1}{3}$
Option 2: $\frac{1}{2}$
Option 3: $1$
Option 4: $\sqrt{3}$
Correct Answer: $1$
Solution : The radius of the incircle of an equilateral triangle is given by the formula $r = \frac{a}{2\sqrt{3}}$, where $a$ is the side length of the triangle. Given that the length of the sides of the equilateral triangle ABC is $2\sqrt{3}$ cm. $x = \frac{2\sqrt{3}}{2\sqrt{3}} =
Question : In the given figure, $\angle ABC=81^{\circ}$ and $\angle ACB=9^{\circ}$. What is the value of $\angle BDC$?
Option 1: 80°
Option 2: 90°
Option 3: 70°
Option 4: 60°
Correct Answer: 90°
Solution : The angles at the circumference subtended by the same arc are equal. In $\triangle ABC$, $\angle ABC + \angle BCA + \angle ACB = 180°$ ⇒ $81° + 9° +\angle BAC= 180°$ ⇒ $\angle BAC = 90°$ Now, $\angle BAC = \angle BDC = 90°$
Question : Identify the segment in the sentence which contains a grammatical error.
The seat which you are sitting on is my.
Option 1: which you
Option 2: is my
Option 3: The seat
Option 4: are sitting on

Question : Directions: The second number in the given number pairs is obtained by performing certain mathematical operation(s) on the first number. The same operation(s) are followed in all the number pairs except one. Find that odd number pair.
Option 1: 4 : 70
Option 2: 3 : 30
Option 3: 6 : 222
Option 4: 7 : 350
Correct Answer: 4 : 70
Solution : Let's check the options – First option: 4 : 70; 70 is not divisible by 4. Second option: 3 : 30; 30 ÷ 3 = 10; 30 is divisible by 3. Third option: 6 : 222; 222 ÷ 6 = 37; 222 is
Question : A man and a woman can finish a work together in half the time taken by a woman and a boy together. A boy can finish the work alone in 20 days and 2 women together can finish it in 30 days. In how many days will the work be finished by 4 men?
Option 1: 2
Option 2: 2.14
Option 3: 2.5
Option 4: 3
Correct Answer: 2.14
Solution : Given: Time taken by a man and a woman = $\frac{1}{2}$ (Time taken by a woman and a boy) Time taken by a boy to complete the work = 20 days Time taken by 2 women to complete the work = 30 days Time taken
Question : If $x=1+\sqrt2+\sqrt3$, then find the value of $x^{2}-2x+4$.
Option 1: $2(7+\sqrt6)$
Option 2: $2(4+\sqrt6)$
Option 3: $2(3+\sqrt7)$
Option 4: $(4+\sqrt6)$
Correct Answer: $2(4+\sqrt6)$
Solution : $x=1+\sqrt{2}+\sqrt{3}$ ⇒ $x-1=\sqrt{2}+\sqrt{3}$ Squaring both sides ⇒ $(x-1)^2=(\sqrt{2}+\sqrt{3})^2$ ⇒ $(x^2+1-2x)=(2+3+2\sqrt{6})$ ⇒ $(x^2+1-2x)=(5+2\sqrt{6})$ adding 3 to both sides, we get, ⇒ $(x^2+1-2x)+3=(5+2\sqrt{6})+3$ ⇒ $(x^2+4-2x)=(8+2\sqrt{6})$ $\therefore (x^2+4-2x)=2(4+\sqrt{6})$ Hence, the correct answer is $2(4+\sqrt{6})$.
