Question : Two numbers are in the ratio 7 : 11. If their HCF is 28, then the sum of the two numbers is:
Option 1: 504
Option 2: 196
Option 3: 308
Option 4: 112
Correct Answer: 504
Solution : If two numbers are in the ratio 7 : 11, then the numbers as $7x$ and $11x$, where $x$ is a common factor. Given that their highest common factor (HCF) is 28. Such that $x = 28$. So, the two numbers are 7 × 28
Question : Directions: In a certain code language, go there is written as na pa, we and they is written as sa ha ta, and go and come is written as pa ha la. How is there written in that code language?
Option 1: pa

E.g. 13 – Operations on 13 such as adding/subtracting/multiplying etc. 13 can be performed. Breaking down 13 into 1 and 3 and then performing mathematical operations on 1 and 3 is NOT allowed.) (17, 29, 46) (24, 36, 60)
Option 1: (36, 46, 81)
Option 2: (29, 41, 64)
Option 3: (21, 33, 54)

Solution : Given: (17, 29, 46); (24, 36, 60)
Here, (17, 29, 46)→17 + 29 = 46 (24, 36, 60)→24 + 36 = 60
Let's check the options – First option: (36, 46, 81)→36 + 46 = 82 ≠ 81 Second option: (29, 41, 64)→29
Question : If $x=(\sqrt[3]{7})^{3}+3$, then the value of $x^3–9x^2+27x–34$ is:
Option 1: 0
Option 2: 1
Option 3: 2
Option 4: –1
Correct Answer: 0
Solution : Given: $(x–3)^{3}=(\sqrt[3]{7})^{3}$ $x^{3}–27–3(3x)(x–3) = 7$ $x^{3}–27–9x^{2}+27x = 7$ Subtracting 7 on both sides, we get, $x^{3}–27–9x^{2}+27x–7= 7–7$ $x^{3}–9x^{2}+27x–34 = 0$ Hence, the correct answer is 0.
