Real Numbers_SolutionsSolution 1  

We have,Let the number X when divided by 126 gives x as quotient and 47 as the remainderThus, X = 126x + 47 = 

Thus, when X is divided by 18, it gives 11 as the remainder.Hence, the correct answer is C.

Solution 2  

We have,

Since there is a factor of 10 in   and the exponent of 10 is 1, so there will be one zero at the end of Hence, the correct answer is option B.

Solution 3  

We have,The prime factorization of 584 = Thus, x = (3 + 1) = 4So, x2 = 16Hence, the correct answer is option B.

Solution 4  

We have,

So, n = 2Thus, the least prime factor of n is 2.Hence, the correct answer is option B.

Solution 5  

We have,

Now, in order to get a positive rational number, the smallest number which must be multiplied to   is 

Thus, the square of the smallest number by which   should be multiplied so as to get a positive rational number is  .

Hence, the correct answer is option C.

Solution 6  

We have,The required number = LCM(21, 39, 42) + 5Now, LCM(21, 39, 42) = LCM( ) =   = 546So, the required number is (546 + 5) = 551Thus, the smallest number which leaves the same remainder 5 when divided by 21, 39 and 42 separately, is  .

Solution 7  

We have,For every natural number x, 2x + 1 is always oddTherefore, 92x + 1 will always end with 9 and 5x will always end with 5So, the last digit of 92x + 1 − 5x will always be 4, for any value of xThus, the last digit of 92x + 1 − 5x, where x is a natural number, is  .

Solution 8  

We have,LCM(70, 125, 175) = 1750 = Comparing it with 17 , we get

(18 × 7x) + (18 × 2 + 11)⇒ X = 18 × {(7x + 2)} + 11

Thus, if the LCM(70, 125, 175) = 17 , then the value of   is  .

Solution 9  

H.C.F of 18 and 21 can be found by the prime factorization of 18 and 21

Therefore, H.C.F of 18 and 21 = 3Now, 

Thus, if n is the H.C.F of 18 and 21, then   is always divisible by 5, 7, and 19.

Solution 10  

Since a and b are two consecutive positive integers,Therefore, one of them is even and the other one is odd.Using Euclid's algorithm, we know that every positive even integer is of form 2p, and every positive odd integer is of form 2p + 1,where p is some positive integer.

 

Thus,  .

Thus, if a and b are two consecutive positive integers such that  , then the difference between their squares is always equal to .

Let  is a polynomial. If the linear term is zero and the constant term is negative, then

Thus,   are the zeroes of the given polynomial which have the opposite sign.

Hence, if in a quadratic polynomial p(x) there is no linear term and the constant term is negative, then the zeroes of p(x) have the oppositesign.

Solution 10  

If a cubic polynomial intersects the x-axis at three distinct points, then it means it has three real zeroes.Similarly for quadratic polynomial number of real zeroes is two.Thus, the sum of the numbers of real zeroes of both the polynomial is 2 + 3 = 5Hence, If a cubic polynomial intersects the x-axis at three distinct points and another quadratic polynomial intersects the x-axis at twodistinct points then the sum of the numbers of real zeroes of both the polynomial is five.

Hence, the correct answer is B.

Solution 2  

Hence, the correct answer is option A.

Solution 3  

Hence, the correct answer is option B.

Solution 4  

Given: 

Hence, the correct answer is option C.

Solution 5  

In a right-angled triangle Thus, Hence, the correct answer is option A.

Solution 6  

If A and B are the complementary angles, then A + B = 90Now, pcosAcosecB = 1pcosecB  = secA

Hence, let A and B are the complementary angles, then the value of p in pcosAcosecB = 1 is 1.

Solution 7  

1 + cos2 x = sec2 x

⇒ cos2 x = tan2 x           [From   sec2 x − 1 = tan2 x]

⇒ cos4 x = sin2 x

Taking   square   root   both   sides,   we   get

cos2 x = sin x

⇒ 1 − sin2 x = sin x

⇒ sin x + sin2 x = 1

sin 3x − cos x = 0⇒ sin 3x = cos x

⇒ sin 3x = sin (90 − x)

Hence, the correct answer is option A.

Solution 2  

Let QPO = .From the figure, in 

Hence, the correct answer is option B.

Solution 3  

Let us first put the given data in the form of a diagram.

We know that the radius of the circle will always be perpendicular to the tangent at the point of contact. Therefore,

Since tangents drawn from an external point will be equal in length,AP = AQ = 4 cmThus, the perimeter of APOQ = 4 + 4 + 3 + 3 =14 cmHence, the correct answer is option C.

Solution 4  

PT = 6 cm. Now, PQ and PT are tangents drawn to the same circle from an external point P.∴ PQ = PT = 6 cm           PR and PT are tangents drawn to the same circle from an external point P.∴ PR = PT = 6 cm

Solution 6  

The radius of the bigger marble = R cmThe radius of smaller marbles = r cm

Hence, if 27 identical marbles of radius r are melted to make a bigger marble of radius R, then R : r is equal to 3 : 1.

Solution 7  

Since the two hemispheres are joined end to end, it becomes a complete sphere. The curved surface area of the new solid = total surface area of the sphere.

Hence, let two identical solid-hemispheres are joined together along with their bases, if the curved surface area of one solid hemisphere is24 cm2 then the curved surface area of this new solid is 48 cm2.

Solution 8  

From Figure, it is clear that the cross-section obtained is a triangle.Hence, In a right circular cone, the cross-section made by a plane perpendicular to the base and passing through the axis of the cone isa triangle. 

Solution 9  

If a cone is enclosed in a right circular cylinder of radius r and height h(h < 2r)  then the base of the cone should lie with the base of thecylinder thus the maximum height of the cone can be the height of the cylinder.Hence, a cone is enclosed in a right circular cylinder of radius r and height h(h < 2r)  then the maximum height of the cone is h.

Solution 10  

Let the number of solid cylinders be n.Now, Volume of a solid sphere = Volume of n cylinder

Median = 

Mode = 4Thus, mean = median = mode

Hence, for the data given as: 4, 2, 7, 6, 4, 6, 1, 2, 4. If x(mean) = y(median) = z(mode), then the value of   is  .

Solution 9  

We have,For a grouped data, the Empirical Relationship is given by3 Median = 2 Mean + ModeWe can easily verify the result that if two of them are equal, then the third measure will also be equal to both of them.Now, let mode = median = aThus, mean = aTherefore, {mode + mean   2(median)} = a + a   2a = 0.Hence, if for a grouped data, mode = median, then the value of {mode + mean   2(median)} is  .

Solution 10  

We have,Sum of the first 12 observations = Sum of the last 12 observations = Since the number of observations is odd, so median =   termNow, n = 25

median =   term = 36

Therefore, Hence, the correct answer is option D.

Solution 2  

When two dice are thrown together, all possible outcomes are

(1, 1), (1, 2), (1, 3), (1, 4), (1, 5), (1, 6)

(2, 1), (2, 2), (2, 3), (2, 4), (2, 5), (2, 6)

(6, 1), (6, 2), (6, 3), (6, 4), (6, 5), (6, 6)

∴ Total number of outcomes = 36

The non-favorable outcomes are (1, 1), (2, 2), (3, 3), (4, 4), (5, 5) and (6, 6).

So, the number of non-favorable outcomes is 6.

∴ P(getting the different numbers on both dice) = 

Hence, the correct answer is option C.

Solution 3  

The possible outcomes are BBB, BBG, BGB, GBB, BGG, GBG, GGB, GGG.

∴ Total number of outcomes = 8

The favorable outcomes are BBB, BBG, BGB, GBB.
