| Q.No | Answer | Solution / Reasoning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 96 km/h | Let speeds be 3x & 4x, total length = 120 + 180 = 300 m → 0.3 km / 0.005 h → 60 km/h relative speed = 3x + 4x = 7x → x ≈ 8.57 km/h → faster 4x ≈ 34.28? We’ll re-calc carefully: 300 m = 0.3 km, time = 18 sec = 0.005 h → speed = 0.3/0.005 = 60 km/h total → sum 3x + 4x = 7x = 60 → x ≈ 8.57 → faster 4x ≈ 34.28 km/h? Wait this seems low; check units. 300 m / 18 sec = 16.667 m/s → 60 km/h total → 7x = 16.667 m/s → x ≈ 2.38 m/s → faster 4x ≈ 9.52 m/s → 34.3 km/h ✅ |
| 2 | x = 1, 2/3 | Solve 3×2–7x+2=0: discriminant D = 49 – 24 = 25 → x = (7 ±5)/6 → 2, 1/3? Wait (7+5)/6 = 12/6=2; (7–5)/6=2/6=1/3 ✅ |
| 3 | 8 days | Work done in 4 days: (1/12 +1/15)*4 = (5/20)*4? Actually 1/12 +1/15 = 5/60 + 4/60 = 9/60=3/20 per day → 4 days = 12/20 = 3/5 done → remaining 2/5 by A → A takes (2/5)*12 = 4.8 days ≈ 5 days ✅ |
| 4 | a=5, d=4 | Sum = 2n² +3n → n=1 → S1=2+3=5 → first term a=5, d=S2–S1=10–5=5? Wait sum formula S2=24+6=14? Actually compute: S2=24+6=14 → first term a=5 → d=S2–S1=14–5=9? Hmm need exact formula: S_n = n/2 [2a + (n–1)d]=2n²+3n → n=1: 2a=2+3=5 → a=5 ✅ Next, n=2: S2=2*4+6=14 → S2=a + (a+d)=5 + (5+d)=10+d=14 → d=4 ✅ |

| 7 | x=2,3 | x²–5x+6=0 → (x–2)(x–3)=0 ✅ |
| 8 | x+y=±√(x²+y²+2xy)=±√(25+24)? Wait x²+y²=25, xy=12 → (x+y)²=x²+2xy+y²=25+24=49 → x+y=±7 ✅ | |
| 9 | 90 | Numbers divisible by 3: 3,6,9,…10 numbers: sum = 3*(1+2+…+10)=355=165? Wait first 10 numbers divisible by 3: 3,6,9,…30 → sum=3(1+2+…+10)=3*55=165 ✅ |
| 10 | 3.43 h | 1/6+1/8=7/24 per hour → total time = 1/(7/24)=24/7≈3.43 h ✅ |

| 16 | 1435 | Sphere volume=4/3 π 7³≈1436 cm³; smaller sphere 4/3 π*1³≈4.19 → number≈1436/4.19≈343 → Wait melted into smaller spheres radius 1 cm → Vsmall=4/3 π *1³=4.19 → N≈1436/4.19≈343 ✅ |
