The given problem requires the total weight of 10 poles, each of same weight. We
check the given statements for evaluation of the total weight.
Statement I
gi
Given that one forth of weight of a pole is 5 kg.
Let
enweight of a pole = x kg
So,
sy x =5
4
x = 20 kg
Hence, a
total weight of 10 poles = 10x
.E t
= 200 kg
w
Statement II
e
The total weight of 10 poles is 160 kg more than the total weight of two poles.
Let w .n
weight of a pole = x kg
So,
w g
n
Therefore,
ri 10x = 2x + 160
8x = 160
ee x = 20 kg
n
Hence,
gi = 20 # 10 = 200 kg
Thus, the given problem can be solved by using any of the two statements.

a
.E
(C) 0, 1
(D) - 1, 2
Sol. 4 w
Given w f ^x h = 1 − x -1 # x # 1
Since,
w x > 0 , for all x
So, x can take minimum value of 0 and maximum value of 1. Also, on increasing
value of x , value of f ^x h decreases. At x = 0 , we obtain
f ^x h = 1 − x
= 1−0 = 1 (function has maximum value)
Again, at x = 1, we obtain
f ^x h = 1 − x
= 1−1 = 0 (function has minimum value)
Thus, at x = 0 value of f ^x h is maximum and at x = 1 value of f ^x h is minimum.

Correct answer is 8.
Here, we have to determine the value of fg ^h ^2, 5, 7, 3h, 4, 6, 8h.

Given h ^p, q, r, s h = remainder of

Therefore, we get
fg ^h ^2, 5, 7, 3h, 4, 6, 8h = fg ^1, 4, 6, 8h

Again, we havee
in f ^p, q, r, s h = max ^p, q, r, s h
g ^p, q, r, s h = min ^p, q, r, s h

So, we obtain
fg ^1, 4, 6, 8h = f ^1, 4, 6, 8h # g ^1, 4, 6, 8h
ye = max ^1, 4, 6, 8h # min ^1, 4, 6, 8h

Hence, the value of desired function is
fg ^h ^2, 5, 7, 3h, 4, 6, 8h = fg ^1, 4, 6, 8h = 8

(A) I only (B) I and II
(C) II and III (D) I and III
Here, P, R, S, T, U are in A.P. So, the difference between two consecutive numbers

D = 2T − 2S = 2 ^T − S h = 2d
