Answers
(1) 7

Step 1
According to the question,
90C - 360A = 642 -----(1),
450A + 90B = 1248 -----(2)

Step 2
By adding equation (1) and (2), we get:
90C + 450A -360A + 90B = 1890
⇒ 90C + 90A + 90B = 1890
⇒ 90(C + A + B) = 1890
⇒ C + A + B = 1890/90
⇒ A + B + C = 21

Step 3
A+B+C
Now, the average of A, B, C =

(2) 1760 meters

Step 1
According to the question, a dog is walking around the periphery of a right-angled triangle shown
in the picture.

Step 2
Let us assume that the length of BC is x meters.
In ΔABC,
AC2 = AB 2 + BC2
⇒ 73 2 = 55 2 + x2(Pythagorean Theorem)
By solving it, x = 48.

Step 3
Therefore, the length of BC is 48 meters.
We know that the periphery of a right-angled triangle ΔABC = AB + BC + AC
= 55 + 48 + 73
= 176 meters

Step 4
Distance traveled by the dog in 10 rounds = 10 × 176 = 1760 meters

(3) 11

Step 1
The minute hand makes one full revolution every one hour. Therefore, it will make 12 revolutions
in a period of 12 hours.

Step 2
During each revolution, the minute hand crosses the hour hand once. Therefore, if the hour hand
remains fixed, it would cross the hour hand 12 times.

Step 3
But the hour hand does not remain fixed and makes one full revolution in 12 hours. This means,
the total numbers of crossings made by the minute hand will be 1 less than the number of
revolutions made by it. Therefore, the total numbers of crossings will be 11.

Step 4
For example, if we start at 12 midnight, the two hands will meet at: (approximately)
12 AM
1:05 AM
2:10 AM
3:16 AM
4:22 AM
5:27 AM
6:33 AM
7:38 AM
8:43 AM
9:48 AM
10:54 AM

(4) 168

Step 1
We know that + + = 216
Which means 3 = 216
216
Therefore, the value of = = 72
3

Step 2
The question also says that ÷ =9
Substituting the value of in the above equation. We have 72 ÷ =9
72
or, =9

or, 72 = 9 ×
72
or, =
9
or, 8 =
or, =8

Step 3
We need to find the value of + + + +
Substituting the values of and in the above equation. We have,
+ + + + = 72 + 72 + 8 + 8 + 8 = 168

(5) 0

Step 1
We know that the lines which divide any image into two pieces such that the two become mirror
images of each other are called lines of symmetry.
For example : the line in the given triangle is the line of symmetry.

Step 2

Now, if we look at the given figure carefully, we notice that the number of lines of symmetry are 0.

(6) 3x

Step 1

According to the question, Priyanka plants a rose on her 8 th birthday. The plant has one rose in
the beginning and the number of roses triples every week.

Step 2
Number of rose in the beginning = 1
Number of rose after 1 week = 31
Number of rose after 2 weeks = 32
Number of rose after 3 weeks = 33
---------------------------------
---------------------------------
Number of rose after x weeks = 3x

Step 3

Hence, the total number of roses after x weeks will be 3x.

(7) 1700

Step 1
According to the question, in the school 36% students are girls and we have to find the total
number of students in the school.
Let the total number of students be x.
Total number of boys = (100 - 36) = 64%
Difference between their percentages = 28%

Step 2
28% or 476 girls are less than boys.
Now 28% of x is:
28 × x
= 476
100
⇒ 28 × x = 476 × 100
47600
⇒x=
28
⇒ x = 1700

Step 3
Therefore, the total number of students in the school are 1700.

(8) 86.5

Step 1
The average of the scores Vinayak got in four different tests is 82.75. So the sum of scores in all
four tests = 82.75 × 4 = 331.

Step 2
The average of highest three scores is 84. Thus the total of the highest three scores = 84 × 3 =
252.

Step 3
This means that the lowest score is equal to 331 - 252 = 79.

Step 4
The lowest two scores are the same. This means the other lower score is also equal to 79.

Step 5
The total of lowest two scores is equal to 79 + 79 = 158. So the total of remaining two scores will
be 331 - 158 = 173.

Step 6
173
This means that the average of the highest two scores is equal to = 86.5.

(9) 169 meters

Step 1
Let us assume Radha is walking in the east direction from the point A.
After walking for 119 meters, she takes a left turn and walks for another 120 meters.
Now, she is x meters from the starting point as shown in the following figure.

If we look at the figure carefully, we notice that the given figure is a right-angled triangle.
Therefore, we can say that x2 = 1192 + 1202 (Pythagorean Theorem)
⇒ x2 = 14161 + 14400
⇒ x2 = 28561
⇒ x2 = 1692
⇒ x = 169

Step 2
Hence, Radha is 169 meters far from the starting point.

(10) Thursday

Step 1
One full week has 7 days. Let us think how many full weeks will be there in 77 days.

Step 2
When we divide 77 by 7, we get 11 as quotient and 0 as remainder. This means in 77 days we
have 11 full weeks and 0 extra days:
77 days = 11 full weeks + 0 extra days

Step 3
If today is Thursday, after 11 full weeks it will be Thursday again, and after 0 more days, it will be
Thursday.

(11) a. b and a

We know that the angle formed in a semi-circle is 180°.

If we look at the following shapes carefully, we notice that shapes 'b and a' can be joined together
to form a semi-circle as their sum adds up to 180°.
Hence, b and a is the correct answer.

(12) c. Countless

Step 1
Following picture shows a circle:

Step 2
Now we can see that this picture is symmetric along any diameter.

Step 3
Therefore, a circle has countless lines of symmetry.

(13) a. Cannot be determined from given information.

Step 1
It is given that two-fifth balls are red and rest are green.
Since, two-fifth is smaller than half, there are more green balls than red balls.

Step 2
Now more red balls are added than green balls.

Step 3
There were more green balls than red balls, but now more red balls are added. Therefore, we can
not determine for sure if there will be more red balls or green balls.

(14) d. All of these

Step 1
Congruence of triangle:
Two triangles are congruent if they have the same shape and size, or if one has the same shape
and size as the mirror image of the other.

Step 2
The properties of congruent triangles are given below:
SSS (side If three sides of a triangle are congruent to three sides of another triangle, the
side side) triangles are congruent.
The sum of the lengths of any two sides must be greater than the length of the third
side to guarantee a triangle exists.
SAS (side If two sides and the included angle of a triangle are congruent to the corresponding
angle side) parts of another triangle, the triangles are congruent.
The included angle is the angle formed by the sides being referred.
ASA (angle If two angles and the included side of a triangle are congruent to the corresponding
side angle) parts of another triangle, the triangles are congruent.
The included side is the side between the angles being referred. It is the side where
the rays of the angles would overlap.
AAS (angle If two angles and the non-included side of a triangle are congruent to the
angle side) corresponding parts of another triangle, the triangles are congruent. The non-
included side can be either of the two sides that are not between the two angles
being used.
HL If the hypotenuse and leg of a right-angled triangle are congruent to the
(hypotenuse corresponding parts of another right-angled triangle, the triangles are congruent.
leg of a right Either leg of the right-angled triangle may be used as long as the corresponding
triangle) legs are used.

Methods that do not prove triangles are congruent are given below:
AAA (angle If all the corresponding angles of a triangle are the same, the triangles will be of the
angle angle) same shape but not necessarily the same size.
Hence, it fails to prove that the triangles are congruent.
SSA (side Given two sides and a non-included angle, it is possible to draw two different
side angle) triangles that satisfy the values. Therefore, it is not sufficient to prove their
congruence.

Step 3
Therefore, with the help of above tables, we can say that the correct answer is All of these.

(15) a. Two triangles with equal corresponding angles are congruent

Two triangles are congruent if the three sides of the one are equal to the three corresponding sides
of the other as shown in the given figure and hence the statement 'Two triangles with equal
corresponding angles are congruent' is false.
