x
) log y + log( y
) log z
⇒ 3 log m = log y log x - log z log x + log z log y - log x log y + log x log z - log y log z
⇒ 3 log m = 0 ⇒ log m = 0 ⇒ m = e0 = m = 1

Explanation: Amount = = 10000(1 + 100
) =
100×100
= ₹11664 .

17. (a) 72
Explanation: To form an even number the last number can only be an even digit, therefore the number of impossibility for the
last digit of number = 3
Now the ten's place can be filled by any of the remaining 4 digits, and hence the no. of ways for ten's place = 4
Then there remain three digits, so no. of ways of filling hundred's place = 3

Page 8 of 16
 Similarly no. of ways of filling thousand's place = 2 and of ten thousand = 1
Therefore, the total possibilities are = 3 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1 = 72
18.
(d) {-4, -2, -1, 1, 2, 4}
Explanation: Given, R = {(x, y) : x, y ∈ Z, zxy = 4}
= {(-4, -1), (-2, -2),
(-1, -4), (1, 4), (2, 2), (4, 1)}
Therefore, domain of R = {-4, -2, -1, 1, 2, 4}
19. (a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
Explanation: Assertion: Let x̄ be the mean of x1, x2 ..., xn. Then, variance is given by
n
2 1 2
σ = ∑ (xi − x̄)
1 n
i=1

If a is added to each observation, the new observations will be

yi = xi + a
Let the mean of the new observations be ȳ .
Then,
n n
1 1
ȳ = ∑ yi = ∑ (xi + a)
n n
i=1 i=1

n n
1
= [ ∑ xi + ∑ a]
n
i=1 i=1
n
1 na
= ∑ xi + = x̄ + a
n n
i=1

i.e. ȳ = x̄ + a ...(ii)
n n
2 2
Thus, the variance of the new observations is σ 2
2
=
1

n
∑ (yi − ȳ ) =
1

n
∑ (xi + a − x̄ − a) [using Eqs. (i) and (ii)]
i=1 i=1
n
1 2 2
= ∑ (xi − x̄) = σ
n 1
i=1

Thus, the variance of the new observations is same as that of the original observations.
Reason: We may note that adding (or subtracting) a positive number to (or from) each observation of a group does not affect
the variance.
20.
(c) A is true but R is false.
Explanation: Assertion Let a be the first term and r(|r| < 1) be the common ratio of the GP.
∴ The GP is a, ar, ar2,...
According to the question,
T1 + T2 = 5 ⇒ a + ar = 5 ⇒ a(1 + r) = 5
and Tn = 3(Tn+1 + Tn+2 + Tn+3 +...)

⇒ arn-1 = 3(arn + arn+1 + arn+2 + ...)

⇒ arn-1 = 3arn(1 + r + r2 + ...)
⇒ 1 = 3r(
1
)
1−r

⇒ 1 - r = 3r
⇒ r =
1

Reason: Given, 3, 6, 9, 12 ...

Here, a = 3, d = 6 - 3 = 3
∴ T10 = a + (10 - 1)d

=3+9×3
= 3 + 27 = 30
Section B
21. Since A is twice as good a workman as B,
A's one day work = B's 2 days work
⇒ B's one day work = A's day work ..(i) 1

Since A and B together can build a wall in 30 days,

Page 9 of 16
 ∴ A's one day work + B's one day work = 1

30

⇒ A's one day work + A's 1

2
day work = 1

30
[using (i)]
⇒ A's 1 + 1

2
i.e. 3

2
days work = 1

30

⇒ A's one day work = 2

45

∴ An alone can complete the work in 45 days.

22. Here R is coded as 22 which is its actual positions 18 + 4.
Similarly, A is coded as 1 + 4 i.e. 5.
H is coded as 8 + 4 = 12, U is coded as 21 + 4 = 25 and L is coded as 12 + 4 = 16.
V is equivalent to 22 + 4 = 26
I is equivalent to 9 + 4 = 13
R is equivalent to 18 + 4 = 22
A is equivalent to 1 + 4 = 5
and T is equivalent to 20 + 4 = 24
∴ 'VIRAT' will be coded as 26 - 13 - 22 - 5 - 24
OR
A and B are brothers

C and D are sisters

A's son is D's brother

∴ B is C's uncle
23. Given that, the clock gains 5 seconds in 2 minutes
⇒ it gains 12 × 5 = 60 seconds i.e. 1 minute in 12 × 2 = 24 minutes

⇒ when the incorrect clock moves 25 minutes, the correct clock moves 24 minutes.
Now, from 9:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. on the same day the time passed by incorrect clock
= 5 hours 30 minutes = 330 minutes.
When an incorrect clock moves 330 minutes, the correct clock moves
= × 330 minutes = 316 minutes 48 seconds
24

25

= 5 hours 16 minutes 48 seconds

Hence, the correct time is [Link] p.m.

= c2(a2 + b2) + d2(a2 + b2)
= (a2 + b2 )(c2 + d2)
Now consider the
RHS = (a2 + b2)(c2 + d2)
By comparing the LHS and RHS
LHS = RHS
Hence it is proved that, a2 + b2, b2 + c2, c2 + d2 are in G.P.
OR
Let A1, A2 be two A.M.'s between a and b, then a, A1, A2, b are in A.P.
As a, A1, A2 are in A.P.
∴ 2A1 = a + A2
⇒ 2A1 - A2 = a ...(1)

Page 11 of 16
 Similarly, A1, A2, b are in A.P.
⇒ 2A2 - A1 = b ...(2)

i. Adding (1) and (2), we get A1 + A2 = a + b

ii. Multiplying (1) and (2), we get (2A1 - A2) (2A2 - A1) = ab

28. Let f = g + h, then g(x) = √4 − x and h(x) = 1

√x2 −1

For Dg, g(x) must be a real number

⇒ 4-x≥0
⇒ 4 ≥ x ⇒ x ≤ 4 ⇒ Dg = (−∞ , 4]
For Dh, h(x) must be a real number

⇒ x2 - 1 > 0
⇒ (x + 1) (x - 1) > 0

⇒ x < - 1 or x > 1

⇒ Dh = (−∞ , - 1) ∪ (1, ∞ )

As f = g + h, so Df = Dg ∩ Dh

From fig. it is clear that Dg ∩ Dh = (−∞ , -1) ∪ (1, 4]

Hence, the domain of the function f = (−∞ , -1) ∪ (1, 4]
29. Let P1 be the present value of ₹ 300,000 due 2 years hence at i = 8

100
= 0.08 compounded annually. Also, let P2 be the present
value of ₹ 190,000 due 4 years hence at i = 8

100
= 0.08 compounded annually. Then,
P1 = 300,000(1 + i)-2 and P2 = 190,000(1 + i)-4

⇒ P1 = 300,000(1.08)-2 and P2 = 190,000(1.08)-4

⇒ P1 = 300,000 × 0.85733882 and P2 = 190,000 × 0.73502985
⇒ P1 = 257,201.446 and P2 = 139,655.6715
⇒ P1 + P2 = 396,857.3175 ≃ 396,857.32
Thus, in the second option the machinery costs ₹ (200,000 + 396,857.32) = ₹ 596,857.32
Clearly, in the second option the machinery costs less. Hence, second option is better and it is better by ₹ (600,000 - 596,857.32) =
₹ 3142.68
30. Here, the monthly charges are ₹ 240
Since the tariff plan chosen by Mr. Sharma has no free calls and he talks for 470 minutes
∴ Call charges @ ₹ 1 per minute = ₹ (470× 1) = ₹ 470

Broband charges = Nil

∴ Total Bill Amount = Monthly Charges + Call Charges

= ₹ 240 + ₹ 470 = ₹710

A GST of 18% is levied on the total bill amount
GST= 18% of 710
= ₹ 127.80

Page 12 of 16
 ∴ Total Bill Payable = ₹ 710 + ₹ 127.80
= ₹ 837.80
31. We draw a Venn diagram to solve the problem.
Here ξ = all the students of the class,
M = students who like Mathematics and
S = students who like Science.

Since 16 students like both Mathematics and Science, we mark 16 in the common region of M and S. Then, as 30 students like
Mathematics and of these 16 students have already been marked, therefore, 14 is marked in the remaining portion of M. Also, as
25 students like Science and of these 16 have already been marked, therefore, 9 is marked in the remaining portion of S.
i. The number of students who like either Mathematics or Science
= 14 + 16 + 9 = 39
ii. The number of students who like neither Mathematics nor Science (shown shaded in the diagram)
= 50 - 39 = 11

32. i. When six is at unit’s place then possible numbers = 8 × 9 × 1 = 72.
ii. When six is at ten’s place then possible numbers = 8 × 1 × 9 = 72.
iii. When six is at hundred’s place then possible numbers = 1 × 9 × 9 = 81.
Required number of ways = 72 + 72 + 81 = 225.
(in case I and II hundred place cannot have zero and six).
OR
The number of arrangements in which the best and the worst papers never come together can be obtained by subtracting from the
total number of arrangements, the number of arrangements in which the best and worst come together.
The total number of arrangements of 9 papers = 9P9 = 9!

Considering the best and the worst papers as one paper, we have 8 papers which can be arranged in 8P8 = 8! ways. But, the best
and worst papers can be put together in 2! ways. So, the number of permutations in which the best and the worst papers can be put
together = (2! × 8!).
Hence, the number of ways in which the best and the worst papers never come together = 9! - 2! × 8! = 9 × 8! - 2 × 8! = 7 × 8 !
= 282240

35. Here, the consumption of water is given to be 37 kL,

According to the given tariff plan
Water consumption charge = ₹(8 × 7 + 17 × 11 + 12 × 25)
= ₹ (56 + 187 + 300)
= ₹ (543)
Sewerage charge for consumption above 8 KL is 25% of the consumption charges.
∴ Sewerage charge = 25% of 543
= 135.75
Maintenance charges = ₹ 56 per month
Total water bill = consumption charge + Sewerage charge +Maintenance charge
= ₹ 543 + ₹ 135.75 + ₹ 56
= ₹ 734.75
