Answer: Option D. -> 17
:
D
Let the number be 10x + y.
Then, 1x9,0,y9 and x2+y2=10k.

The required number = 17, hence option (d).
Question 22. If N=702730+302780 is divisible by 10x (x is a natural number), find the rightmost non-zero integer in the remainder when N is divided by 10x+1 (if x is maximum).

Answer: Option C. -> 9
:
C
The question is based on the last non-zero digit (i.e. remainder when the number is divided by 10), as when x is maximum, 10x will cancel out all the zeroes in the end.
It now becomes a question based on the rightmost non-zero integer in 72730 (302780 will end with more zeroes).
727302730=4K+2
Thus, the rightmost non-zero integer is 9.
Question 23. Suppose f(x) = (x+1)3. If g(x) is the function whose graph is reflection of the graph of f(x) with respect to the line x = 3 and h(x) is the reflection of g(x) with respect to the x-axis, then h(8) equals:
___
 Discuss Question

:
Reflection of the functionf(x) = (x+1)3 about the line x=3 is going to be g(x) =(x - 7)3. g(x) is the translation of f(x) 4 units to the right of x=3. h(x) being the reflection of g(x) about the x-axis is going to be -(x - 7)3 So the value of h(x) at x=8 will be -(8 - 7)3 = -1.
Question 24. ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral while triangle ABF and triangle CEF are similar triangles. Which of the following cannot be the value of angle BAC if BEC = 30?

Answer: Option A. -> 20
:
A
Let ACD = BAC = x. Connect D to B such that the line intersects AC at O.
ABCD Is A Cyclic Quadrilateral While Triangle ABF And Triang...
As the quadrilateral ABCD is cyclic, AOD = 2 * ACD. (Because O is the centre of the circle around the cyclic quadrilateral, and angle subtended at center is twice the angle subtended at a point on the circumference by the same arc AD, here.
So, AOD = 2x
EBA = BED = 30
BDC = DBE + 30
AOD is exterior angle for triangle COD.
So, AOD = 2x = 30 + DBE + x
x = 30 + DBE.
So, BAC can't be less than 30 degrees so 'a' is the answer.
Question 25. Find the approximate value of x, for this equation to be satisfied: xxxxx4=0. Given that (am)n=amn

A
Go from answer options
If x =1.41 =2 then we get
22222=4
Hence the equation is satisfied.

Answer: Option C. -> A8
:
C
We know that the area of all triangles between two parallel lines and having a common base is the same
Thus, the triangle can also be represented as follows
ABCD Is A Rectangle, With AP = PQ = QB And Points R, S, T Di...

we can say that, area (RQS) = area (RR1S)
Using the concept of graphical division, we can divide the figure into 8 equal regions as follows.

The required region is A8 units.
Question 27. A circle of radius 3 crosses the centre of a square of side length 2. Find the approximate positive difference between the areas of the non-overlapping portions of the figures
  1.    26
  2.    24
  3.    22
  4.    cannot be determined
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 24
:
B
Let the area of the square= s, the area of the circle= c, and the area of the overlapping portion= x. The area of the circle not overlapped by the square is "c -x” and the area of the square not overlapped by the circle is "s - x”, so the difference between these two is (c -x) -(s -x) = c -s = 9π2-4 .(approximately = 24.26). Hence the correct answer is option (b).
Question 28. N is a five-digit number such that all its digits are non-zero and even, and there is only a single repetition. If the repeated digits are adjacent, and N is divisible by 4, how many possible values can N take?
  1.    36
  2.    48
  3.    44
  4.    52
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 48
:
B
The digits of N can be 2, 4, 6 and 8. Since N is divisible by 4, the last two digits must be 24 or 28 or 44 or 48 or 64 or 68 or 84 or 88.
When the last two digits are the same, i.e., 44 or 88, there can be no more repetition; then, the first three digits can be chosen in 3! Ways. Thus, the number of possibilities = 3! x 2 = 12.
When the last two digits are distinct, we get the following cases:
i] Third digit is same as fourth digit.
Number of ways remaining two digits can be chosen = 2!
Ii] Third digit is same as second digit.
Number of ways = 2!
iii] Second digit is same as first digit.
Number of ways = 2!
Thus, when the number ends with 24, the number of possibilities = 2! + 2! + 2! = 6.
Since there are 6 cases where the last two digits are distinct, the total number of ways =
6 × 6+ 12 = 36 + 12 = 48. Hence, [b].
Question 29. A parallelogram is divided into 20 regions of equal area by drawing line segments parallel to one of its diagonals.  What is the ratio of the longest line segment to one the shortest one?

The figure looks as above.ΔABE and ΔCDE are similar.
The area of each part is equal.
Thus the ratios of the areas= square of the ratios of the corresponding sides
If area of ∆CDE = x then area ofΔABE =9x
CDAB=9xx = 3:1
Question 30. Find the area of the biggest possible triangle whose base is 10 cm and perimeter 36 cm.
  1.    48 cm2
  2.    54 cm2
  3.    66 cm2
  4.    60 cm2
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> 60 cm2
:
D
Among all triangles having a specified base and specified perimeter, an isosceles triangle with the specified base has the largest area.
Hence the triangle is isosceles with perimeter 36 cm and base 10 cm.
Each equal side of the triangle -
=36102=13cm
Height of the triangle
=132(102)2.
=16925=12cm
Area of the triangle
12×10×12=60cm2.
