1.

The value of e0 is
(A) e
(B) 1
(C) 0
(D) ∞
Ans : (B) 1
Solution : Anything to the power 0 is 1.

2. How many solutions have a linear equation in one variable ?


(A) Three Solutions
(B) Unique solution
(C) Two Solutions
(D) No Solutions
Ans : (B) Unique Solution
Solution :
Let us take an example of linear equation with one variable 2x – 4 = 0
2x = 4
X=2
So for equation with one variable only one solution can be formed.
3. The 7th term of the sequence 0.12 , 0.012 , 0.0012, …… is
(A) 1.2 * 106
(B) 1.2 * 10-6
(C) 1.2 *107
(D) 1.2 * 10-7
Ans : (D) 1.2 * 10-7
Solution :
1. 0.12
2. 0.012
3. 0.0012
4. 0.00012
5. 0.000012
6. 0.0000012
7. 0.00000012
0.00000012 = 12 * 10-6 = 1.2 * 10-7
4. A sum of money triples itself t 8% per annum over a certain period of time.
The time taken is
(A) 20 years
(B) 22 years
(C) 25 years
(D) 30 years
Ans : (C) 25 years Solution:
Let us take p = Rs. 100 when it triples total amount will be Rs. 300. So the interest will be
Rs. 200.
𝑃𝑁𝑅
SI =

N = 25 years.

5. Find the correct relationship between G.C.D. and L.C.M.


I. G.C.D. = L.C.M.
II. G.C.D. ≤ L.C.M.
III. L.C.M. ≤ G.C.D.
IV. L.C.M. > G.C.D.
(A) I
(B) II
(C) III
(D) IV
Ans : (D) IV
Solution :
L.C.M and G.C.D must have atleast minimum of two values. Let us take
values 2 and 4
L.C.M = 4
G.C.D = 2
L.C.M. > G.C.D.
6. If p,q,r,s,t are in A.P then the value of p – 4q + 6r – 4s + t is
(A) 1
(B) 2
(C) 3
(D) 0
Ans : (D) 0
Solution : In A.P the difference between each value will be same. Let us
take difference between each value as 1.
So p = 1 , q = 2 , r = 3 , s = 4 , t = 5 sub these values in the eqn 1 – 4 (2) +
6(3) – 4(4) + 5
1 – 8 + 18 -16 + 5 = 0

7. The G.C.D and L.C.M of 90 , 150 , 225 is


(A) 15 , 450
(B) 450 , 15
(C) 90 , 225
(D) 225 , 150
Ans : (A) 15 , 450
Solution :
G.C.D of
90 = 15 * 3 * 2
150 = 15 * 5 * 2
225 = 15 * 15
G.C.D = 15
L.C.M = 15 * 3 * 5 * 2 = 450
L.C.M = 450
8. Which of the following statement is false in a parallelogram ?
(A) The opposite sides are parallel
(B) The opposite angles and sides are equal

school is
(A) 5 km
(B) 5.5 km
(C) 6 km
(D) 6.5 km
Ans : (C) 6 km Solution :
House to School – 3km/hr School to house – 2km/hr
For 1hr =3km For 1hr = 2km
L.C.M of 3 and 2 will be 6
For 1hr =3km For 1hr = 2km
For 6km = 2hrs For 6km = 3 hrs
Totally 5 hrs

be one third of the first , then the second number is
(A) 48
(B) 72
(C) 54
(D) 64
Ans : (B) 72
Solution :
The first number be twice the second and third be one third of the first. So the ratio is 6 :
3:2
totally 11 parts 264 ÷ 11 = 24
1 part = 24
3 parts = 3 * 24 = 72.
