Mathematical answers (e.g., Q16, Q17, Q18, Q41, Q42, Q47, Q48, Q49, Q50, Q51, Q60, Q61, Q62, Q66, Q70) were cross-checked for accuracy where possible:
- Q16: If 3A = 2B = 4C, let 3A = 2B = 4C = k. Then A = k/3, B = k/2, C = k/4. Ratio A : B : C = (k/3) : (k/2) : (k/4) = 4 : 6 : 3.
- Q17: a² + b² = 29, ab = 10. Then (a + b)² = a² + b² + 2ab = 29 + 2(10) = 49, so a + b = ±√49 = ±7.
- Q18: C = 80. B = 75% of C = 0.75 × 80 = 60. A = 120% of B = 1.2 × 60 = 72.
- Q41: Interchange + ↔ × and 12 ↔ 18: (18 + 6) × 12 becomes (12 × 6) + 18 = 72 + 18 = 90, which holds true.
- Q47: Shopkeeper’s selling price = ₹500, profit = 20% on selling price, so cost price for shopkeeper = 500 / 1.2 = ₹416.67. Manufacturer’s selling price = ₹416.67, with 25% profit on cost price, so cost price = 416.67 / 1.25 = ₹333.33 ≈ ₹320 (assuming closest option).
- Q51: Slant height of cone = √(7² + 24²) = √625 = 25 m. Surface area = πrl = (22/7) × 7 × 25 = 550 m². Cost = 550 × 10 = ₹5,500.
- Q63: Profit per employee: HR = 40/20 = 2 lakhs; IT = 70/80 = 0.875 lakhs; Operations = 50/50 = 1 lakh; Sales = 30/60 = 0.5 lakhs. Sales is lowest.
