= 21 × 14 cm – 90° × × 14 × 14 cm2
7 Since x + a, i.e. x – (–a) is a factor of
1 p(x), we must have p(–a) = 0
 × 14 × 7 cm2
2  (–a)4 – a2 (–a)2 + 3(–a) – a = 0
= 294 cm2 – 154 cm2 – 49 cm2 = 91 cm2  a4 – a4 – 3a – a = 0
3. (D) Given points are A(–a, –a), B(a, –a), C (a, a)  –4a = 0
and D(–a, a)
 a=0

7. (A) Let the two consecutive even numbers be
D(–a, a) C(a, a)
a ‘n’ and (n + 2).
Then, according to the problem,
–a a X
O
n2 + (n + 2)2 = 340
–a
A(–a, –a) B(a, –a)  n2 + n2 + 4n + 4 = 340

Hence, it is clear that the given points  2n2 + 4n + 4 = 340

form a square and the origin lies at the  2n2 + 4n  336 = 0
point where the diagonals of the square
intersect.  n2 + 2n  168 = 0
4. (D) Given that the radii of three solid glass  n2 + 14n  12n  168 = 0
balls are 'r' cm, 6 cm and 8 cm, sum of
the volumes of the three glass balls  n(n + 14)  12(n + 14) = 0

4 3 4 3 3 4  (n + 14) (n  12) = 0

4 3
 243 × 4  = 3  (r + 728) 9. (B) Given (x2 – 3x + 2) is a factor of
p(x) = x4 – px2 + q
 729 = r3 + 728
x2 – 3x + 2 = (x – 1)(x – 2)
 r3 = 729 – 728 = 1
(x – 1) is a factor of p(x)
r=1
Hence, r = 1 cm 1–p+q=0
5. (A) Semicircular arc BC = 6  p–q=1
 Circumference of circle with diameter
p = q + 1 ............ (1)
BC = 2  6  = 12  (x – 2) is also a factor of p(x)
 Diameter = 12 = Side BC of rectangle 24 – p(2)2 + q = 0
ABCD. 16 – 4p + q = 0
Similarly, length of semicircular arc CD = 4  16 – 4(q + 1) + q = 0
 Its diameter = 8 = side CD of rectangle 16 – 4q – 4 + q = 0
ABCD 12 – 3q = 0
Therefore, area of rectangle 12 = 3q  q = 4
ABCD = BC  CD = 12  8 = 96 Sq. units p=q+1=4+1=5
