GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
1. Use of mobile phones, smartphones, iPads, calculators, programmable wrist
watches is STRICTLY PROHIBITED. Only ordinary pens and pencils are allowed
inside the examination hall.
2. The correction is done by machine through scanning. On OMR sheet, darken
bubbles completely with a black pencil or a black blue pen. Darken the
bubbles completely only after you are sure of your answer: else, erasing lead
to the OMR sheet getting damaged and the machine may not be able to read
the answer.
3. The name, email address and date of birth entered on the OMR sheet will be
your login credentials for accessing your IOQM score.
4. Incomplete /incorrectly and carelessly filled information may disqualify your
candidature.
5. Each question has a one or two digit number as answer. The first diagram
below shows improper and proper way of darkening the bubble with detailed
instructions. The second diagram shows how to mark a 2-digit number and a
1-digit number.
6. The answer you write on OMR sheet is irrelevant. The darken bubble will be
considered as your final answer.
7. Questions 1 to 2 carry 2 marks each: Questions 3 to 7 carry 3 marks each:
Questions 8 to 10 carry 5 marks each.
8. All questions are compulsory.
9. There are no negative marks.

1. Since |x| – 2 ≥ 0 and 2 – |x| ≥ 0 simultaneously implies |x|

= 2, so x = ±2 only. Since the denominator |x – 2| ≠ 0,
i.e. x ≠ 2, so x = –2.

6. By taking modulo 7 to both sides of the given equation,
it follows that
c  6 (mod 7)
Since c is a digit, so c = 6. Then the given equation

becomes 7a + b = 40 or 7a = 40 – b. Since
31  40  b  40 , and there is only one number 35
divisible by 7 in this interval, so b = 5, a = 5 , i.e. abc =
556.

7. Let f  x   ax 3  bx 2  cx  d From assumptions
f  x    x 2  1 q1  x   2x  5 and
f  x    x 2  4  q 2  x   3x  4
Let x  1, it follows that

a  b  c  d  3 15.43
 a  b  c  d  7 15.44 
Let x  2 , it follows that

8a  4a  2c  d  2 15.45
8a  4a  2c  d  10 15.46 
By (15.43) + (15.44) and (15.45) + (15.46) respectively,
we obtain
b  d  5 15.47 
4a  d  4 15.48
Therefore , (15.48) – (15.47) yields b = 3 and d = –8. By
substituting back the values of b and d into (15.43) and
(15.45), respectively, we obtain
a  c  2, 15.49 
4a  c  3 15.50 

15.50   15.49  yields a   and from (15.49) ,

C = 11/3. Thus,

8. From (i) it is easy to see that the whole ordered 7-tuple is
determined by a1 and a2. It is easy to check that a6 = 3a1

+ 5a2. Thus by (ii), we have 3a1 + 5a2 = 2005.
It is follows that a1 is divisible by 5. Write a1 = 5k. Then
we have 15 k+ 5a2 = 2005  3k + a2 = 401. The possible
value of a2 are {2,5,8, …,398}, if both K and a2 are
positive. Note that each of the above values of a2
determines a unique positive integral value of a1
satisfying the equation 3a1 + 5a2 = 2005. Therefore there
are 133 such sequences.

9. Let the sides of ABC be a  n, b  n  1, c  n  2 , where
n is a natural number. Then C is the greatest and A the
least angle. As given C  2A .
 sin C  sin 2A  2sin A cos A
b2  c2  a 2
 kc  2ka or bc 2  a (b 2  c 2  a 2 )
2bc
Substituting the values of a, b, c, we get
(n  1)(n  2) 2  n[(n  1) 2  (n  2) 2  n 2 ]
or (n  1)(n  2) 2  n (n 2  6n  5)  n(n  1)(n  5)
Since n  1, we can cancel n  1.

www.vedantu.com
IOQM
Thus (n  2) 2  n (n  5) n 2  4n  4  n 2  5n
This gives n  4, Hence the sides are 4, 5 and 6.
x3 + y3 + z3 = 27 + 64 + 125 = 216

10. (i) When n > 10, then n –9 > 0, so
n2 19n  91  n2  20n  100   n  9   n 10   n  9   n 10 ,
2 2
and
n 2  19n  91  n 2  18n  81  10  n    n  9  ,

2
 n  10  n 2  19n  91   n  9  , which implies

2 2
So
that n2 –19n + 91 is not a perfect square.
(ii) When n < 9 then
n 2  19n  91  10  n    n  9   10  n 

2 2
n 2  19n  91   9  n   10  n   9  n  ,
2 2
and
9  n   n 2  19n  91  10  n  i.e, n 2  19n  91

2 2
So
cannot be a perfect square.

(iii) when n = 9, the
n 2  19n  91  10  9   1; when n = 10, then

2
n 2  19n  91  10  9   1
2
Thus, n 2  19n  91 is a perfect square if and only if n =

9 or 10.
