Q1. The mean distance of the earth from the sun is 93 million miles. The distance varies by 1.6 million miles.
Calculate the maximum and minimum distances of the earth from the sun. [2]

Minimum = 93-1.6
Minimum = 92.6

Maximum = 93+1.6
Maximum = 94.6

Q2. Members of the track team can run 400 m in an average time of 58.2 seconds. The fastest and slowest
times varied from the average by 6.4 seconds. State the maximum and minimum times for the track team.
[2]

Minimum = 58.2-6.4
Minimum = 5.8

Maximum = 58.2+6.4
Maximum = 64.6

Q10. Tom hits a golf ball. The height of the ball can be modelled by the equation: ℎ(𝑡) = 7𝑡 − 𝑡 ; where h(t)
is
the height of the ball in metres, t seconds after Tom hit it.

Q.11 A lucky draw competition was organized by the Hyundai Motor Company in its Indian Segment. The
winner will be getting 75% of the paid amount as a refund along with other gift hampers.

The participants for this lucky draw were selected based on the following criteria:
- Participant should have purchased a car in the last month of 2020.[Dec 2020]
- Participant should be an Indian citizen.
- Participants must have his/her income tax returns for the last 2 years.
- Vehicle registration number plates should have a total of 10 elements combining alphabets and
numbers.

The above given data was circulated on social media, newspapers, television ads, etc.
But to choose the winner, they had an algorithm to decide who’ll be getting more points. To clear the first stage
of the selection process, the following algorithm was used.

For example, for the given number plate of a participant, the algorithm given below is applied in the first round.

G J 0 5 A B 1 2 3 4

Algorithm:
Step 1: Make groups of alphabets and numbers.
Group 1: Alphabets and Group 2: Digits ------> [GJAB] and [051234]
Step 2: For the alphabets, each alphabet is assigned one specific number from 1 to 26. [e.g. A-1, B-2, C-3,
D-4,...etc] ------> [G-7 J-10 A-1 B-2]]
Step 3: Add the assigned numbers of all the alphabets. ------> [7+10+1+2 = 20]
Step 4: Add the digits with each other in Group 2 ------> [0+5+1+2+3+4 = 15]
Step 5: Subtract the sum of group 1 from that of group 2. ------> [15-20 = -5 Abs. value = 5]

4
Step 6: If the absolute value of the answer of step 5 is a Prime Number then that participant will go to the
next round for further selection process else he/she will be rejected. ------> [Goes to next round]

a. For the following number plate from Chennai, find the final output based on the given algorithm.
