If three real numbers a, b and c are such that a2 + 6b = –17, b2 + 4c = 1 and c2 + 2a = 2. Then what is the value of a2 + b2 +
c2 ?
Options:
14
Solution :
Answer (14)
Adding the three equations,
a2 + b2 + c2 + 2a + 6b + 4c + 14 = 0
⇒ (a + 1)2 + (b + 3)2 + (c + 2)2 = 0
⇒ a = –1, b = –3, c = –2
⇒ a2 + b2 + c2 = 14

Solution :
Answer (03)
Case : 1
So, a + b + c = 0
Case : 2
λ=1
⇒ xb + (1 – x)c = a
and xc + (1 – x) a = b
on eliminating x
a2 + b2 + c2 = ab + bc + ca

Let B is any point on the line segment AC. Consider two points P and Q on the same side of AC such that two isosceles
triangles APB and BQC are formed. Another isosceles triangle ARC is formed where R lies on the other side of AC. If ∠APB =
∠BQC = ∠ARC = 120°, then find the value of angle PRQ in degrees.
Options:
60
Solution :
Answer (60)
Let PB and QB are extended to meet RC and AR at N and M respectively.
Thus, APBM and BQCN are rhombus.
It means PM ⊥ AC and QN ⊥ AC.
Also PB = MB and QB = NB
So, PB × NB = MB × QB
Hence, PQNM is a cyclic quadrilateral.
Also, ∠MPN + ∠MRN = 60° + 120° = 180°
So, R also lies on the circle passing through P, Q, N and M.

ABC be a scalene triangle whose area is 4 sq. units. P is a point on BC extended such that BC = CP. Two points Q and R are
taken on the remaining two sides in the same way. Find area of the triangle PQR.
Options:
28
Solution :
Answer (28)
|PQR| = |ABC| + |APR| + |BQP| + |CQR|
If we draw perpendiculars AM and PN on BC
ΔAMB = ΔBNQ
AM = QN
|BQP| = 2|ABC|
Similarly, |APR| = 2|ABC| = |CQR|
So |PQR| = 7|ABC| = 28

If A and B work together, they will complete a particular job in days. However, if A works alone and completes half the job
and then B takes over and completes the remaining half alone, they will be able to complete the job in 20 days. How many days
will B alone take to do the job if B is more efficient than A?
Options:
10
Solution :
Answer (10)
Let A does x units of job per day
and B does y units of job per day.
Let total amount of work to be S
...(i)
...(ii)
⇒ 3(x + y)2 = 10xy
⇒ (3x – y)(x – 3y) = 0
y = 3x (∵ B is more efficient)

Three positive integers a, b, c are in G.P. such that is also an integer. If A.M. of a, b, c is b + 2, then find the value of (a2 + b).
Options:
48
Solution :
Answer (48)
Let b = ar and c = ar2 where r ∈ N
⇒ a(1 + r + r2) = 3ar + 6
⇒ a(r – 1)2 = 6
∵ a ∈ N and r ∈ N, so only possible solution is a = 6 and r = 2
So, a2 + b = a2 + ar = 48

29x + 30y + 31z = 366
In a leap year there are 12 months (1 of 29 days, 4 of 30 days and 7 of 31 days)
So one possible solution is (1, 4, 7)
Also 1 month of 29 days + 1 month of 31 days

= 2 months of 30 days
So other possible solutions are (0, 6, 6), (2, 2, 8) and (3, 0, 9)

What is the value of (1 + α2)(1 + β2)(1 + γ2), where α, β, γ are the roots of equation x3 + ax2 + 7x + b = 0 such that |a – b| = 6.
Options:
72
Solution :
Answer (72)
Let f(x) = x3 + ax2 + 7x + b = (x – α)(x – β) (x – γ)
∵ (α2 + 1)(β2 + 1)(γ2 + 1)
= (α + i)(α – i)(β + i)(β – i)(γ + i)(γ + i)
= f(i) · f(–i); where
= (b – a + 6i)(b – a –6i)
= (b – a)2 + 36

Solution :
Answer (30)
∵ PS is the median then,
PQ2 + PR2 = 2(PS2 + QS2)
⇒ x2 – 3l2 + 16l2 = 2(3l2 + x2)
⇒ x2 = 7l2
⇒ ∠QPR = 120°
⇒ ∠RPS = 30°

If a and b are natural numbers satisfying a3 – b3 = ab + 61, then find the value of a + b.
Options:
11
Solution :
Answer (11)
Clearly a > b, so let a = b + c where a, b, c ∈ N
(b + c)3 – b3 = (b + c)b + 61
⇒ 3b2c + 3bc2 + c3 = b2 + bc + 61
⇒ b2(3c – 1) + bc(3c – 1) + c3 = 61
So c3 < 61⇒c = 1, 2, 3
⇒ If c = 1⇒b2 + b = 30
⇒ b = 5 and a = 6
If c = 2 ⇒

How many subsets of set S = {1, 2, 3, ......., 9} contains no two successive numbers?
Options:
89
Solution :
Answer (89)
If set S has n elements, let an denotes the number of required subsets.
Case I: When subsets contain 1 then an = an – 2
Case II: When subsets does not contain 1 then

an = an – 1
then ....(i)
Also when n = 1⇒s = {1}
⇒ a1 = 2 ( and {1})
and when n = 2 ⇒ S = {1, 2}
⇒a2 = 3 ( {1}, {2})
Now we need to find a, using (i)
a3 = 5, a4 = 8, a5 = 13, a6 = 21, a7 = 34, a8 = 55 and a9 = 89.

Consider an equilateral triangle ABC having side length units. Let P be any point on the circumcircle of a triangle ABC.
Find the sum of length of perpendiculars drawn from A, B and C on the tangent to circumcircle at P.
Options:
30
Solution :
Answer (30)
Let O be the circumcentre and AM is altitude which intersects the circumcircle at N.
Let AD, BE, CF, OP, MK and NL are perpendiculars on the tangent at P.
∵ M is mid-point of BC,
BE + CF = 2 MK ...(i)
Also M is mid-point of ON then
OP + NL = 2MK ...(ii)
'O' is mid-point of AN, then
AD + NL = 2OP ...(iii)
(i) + (iii) – (ii), we get
AD + BE + CF – OP = 2OP
⇒ AD + BE + CF = 3OP = 3 × circumradius

If abc is a three digit number (a ≠ b ≠ c) such that abc = a! + b! + c!; then find the value of a + b + c.
Options:
10
Solution :
Answer (10)
abc is a three digit number, so a, b, c ∈ {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}, because 7!, 8! and 9! are four digit numbers.
Also 6! = 720 (contains 7 as 1st digit, so 6 should not be there)
Now 5! = 120, 4! = 24, 3! = 6, 2! = 2, 1! = 1, 0! = 1
Maximum and minimum possible three digit numbers will be 5! + 4! + 3! = 150 and 5! + 1! + 0! = 122
So first digit is fixed as 1 and 5 must be one of the remaining two digits.
Possible three digit numbers are 150, 152, 125, 153, 135 and 145 only.
Here, only 145 satisfy the given condition.

Let S be a circle with centre P. A chord AB which is not a diameter divides S into two regions R1 and R2 such that P lies in R2.
Let C1 be a circle with centre in R1, touching AB at M and S internally. Let C2 be a circle with centre in R2, touching AB at N,
the circle S internally and passing through the centre of S. The point M lies on the diameter of S passing through the centre of
C2 and ∠NMP = 30°. If radius of circle C2 is 100 units, then find the radius of circle C1.
Options:
60
Solution :
Answer (60)
Let centres of circles C1 and C2 be T and Q respectively.
Let C1 touches S at E and C2 touches S at D.
∵ S and C2 touch each other
PQ = radius of S – radius of C2
100 = radius of S – 100
Now,
So PM = QM – PQ = 100
∵ S touches C1 then
PT = radius of S – radius of C1 = 200 – r
In ΔPTM, ∠PMT = 120°, PM = 100, TM = r and PT = 200 – r
So,
⇒ r = 60

Let two persons A and B together have n toys. A says to B, "If I give you some toys then you will have twice as many toys as I
will have." B say to A, "If I give you some toys then you will have thrice as many toys as I will have." Find the least value of n
(where n > 0) for which these statements are true?
Options:
12
Solution :
Answer (12)
Let 'A' has a toys and 'B' has b toys.
∵ 2(a – x) = b + x ⇒ 2a – b = 3x ...(i)
and a + y = 3 (b – y) ⇒ 3b – a = 4y ...(ii)
From (i) and (ii), we get
5b = 8y + 3x
∵ 5|8y + 3x so least value of 8y + 3x = 20
when x = 4, y = 1
a = 8 and b = 4.
Total number of toys; n = 12
