Solutions
(1) c. a and d

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

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

(2) b. 40°

Step 1

According to the question, ∠CBD is the exterior angle of triangle ABC and we know that an
exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the measures of the two non-adjacent
interior angles.
Therefore, ∠CBD = ∠CAB + 80° ----(1)

Step 2
In triangle ABC, ∠CAB + ∠ABC + ∠ACB = 180°
⇒ ∠CAB + ∠ABC = 180° - 80°

⇒ ∠CAB + ∠ABC = 100° -----(2)

Step 3
It is given that AP and BP are bisectors of ∠CAB and ∠CBD, respectively.
Therefore, ∠PAB = ∠CAB/2 -----(3)
∠CBP = ∠CBD/2 -----(4)

Step 4
Now, in triangle ABP, ∠PAB + ∠ABP + ∠APB = 180° ...(Since, the sum of all the angles of a
triangle is 180°)
⇒ ∠APB = 180° - ∠PAB - ∠ABP

⇒ ∠APB = 180° - ∠CAB/2 - ∠ABP ..(From equation (3), ∠PAB = ∠CAB/2)

⇒ ∠APB = 180° − ∠CAB/2 - (∠ABC + ∠CBP)

⇒ ∠APB = 180° - ∠CAB/2 - (∠ABC + ∠CBD/2) ...(From equation (4), ∠CBP = ∠CBD/2)

⇒ ∠APB = 180° − ∠CAB/2 - {∠ABC + (∠CAB + 80°)/2} ...(From equation (1))

⇒ ∠APB = 180° − ∠CAB/2 - (∠ABC + ∠CAB/2 + 40°)

⇒ ∠APB = 180° − ∠CAB/2 - ∠ABC - ∠CAB/2 - 40°

⇒ ∠APB = 140° - (∠CAB + ∠ABC)

⇒ ∠APB = 140° - 100° ...(From equation (2))

⇒ ∠APB = 40°

Step 5
Hence, the value of ∠APB is 40°.

(3) d. 12

Step 1
When we look at the table, we notice that there are 3 types of food available and each type
has 3, 2, 2 options, respectively.

Step 2
Thus, the total number of meal combinations = 3×2×2 = 12.

Step 3
Hence, option d is the correct answer.

Step 1

According to question Gauri played squash on Monday. Gauri plays squash every 3rd day.
Now Gauri will play squash again on Thursday after 3 days and so on ....

Step 2
By this way you can say that after 15 days she will play squash again on Tuesday.

(6) 27 meters2

Step 1
If we look at the given figure carefully, we notice that the rectangle ABCD is inscribed in a
circle and the diagonal BD of the rectangle ABCD is the diameter of the circle.

Now, in the right angled triangle ΔABD

BD2 = AB2 + AD2
⇒ BD2 = 62 + 82
⇒ BD2 = 36 + 64
⇒ BD2 = 100
⇒ BD2 = 102
⇒ BD = 10 meters

Step 2
Diameter of the circle = BD = 10 meters
BD 10
Radius of the circle = = = 5 meters
2 2
Area of the shaded region = Area of the circle - Area of the rectangle ABCD
= (πr2) - (AB × AD)
= 3 × (5)2 - (6 × 8)
= 75 - 48
= 27 meters2

Step 3

Hence, the area of the shaded region is 27 meters2.

Step 1
A+B
Since, A ♣ B means , the value of 10 ♣ (1 ♣ 3),
2
1+3
⇒ 10 ♣ (1 ♣ 3) = 10 ♣ ( )
2
4
⇒ 10 ♣ (1 ♣ 3) = 10 ♣ ( )
2
⇒ 10 ♣ (1 ♣ 3) = 10 ♣ 2

Step 2
A+B
Again use, A ♣ B =
2
10 + 2
⇒ 10 ♣ (1 ♣ 3) =

12
⇒ 10 ♣ (1 ♣ 3) =

Therefore, 10 ♣ (1 ♣ 3) = 6

(8) 3

Step 1

3a + 3a + 1 = 108 can be solved for the value of a, by the help of the following steps:
3a + 3a + 1 = 108
⇒ 3a + (3a 31) = 108
⇒ 3a(1 + 31) = 108
⇒ 3a(1 + 3) = 108
108
⇒ 3a =
4

⇒ 3a = 33

Step 2
The above condition is satisfied only when the value of a is 3. Hence, the value of a is 3.

(9) 157 meters

Step 1
According to the question, the distance between A and C is 132 meters and we have to find
the distance between B and D.
Let us assume the distance between B and D is x meters.

Step 2
Let us connect the point B to point D as shown in the following figure.

If we look at the figure carefully, we will notice that ΔBED is a right-angled triangle and the
distance between A and C is equal to the distance between B and E,
DE = CD - AB = 146 - 61 = 85 meters
In ΔBED,
BD2 = BE2 + DE2 (Pythagorean Theorem)
⇒ x2 = 1322 + 852
By solving it, x = 157.

Step 3
Hence, the distance between B and D is 157 meters.

(10) 14

Step 1
Let us find the sum of numbers in each row.
Sum of numbers in row 1 = 9 + 20 = 29
Sum of numbers in row 2 = 10 + 19 = 29
Sum of numbers in row 3 = 14 + 15 = 29

Step 2
So, sum of numbers in the fourth row should be 29.
First number = ?
Second number = 15
So, first number should be = 29 - 15 = 14

Step 3
Thus, the missing number is 14.
