SOLUTION
1.(2) According to question.
Clock B gains per hours to
A = (1/24  +1/16)
= (2 + 3) /48 = 5/48 minutes
Now.
Clock B gains 5/48 minutes in a hour
So Clock B gains 15 minutes in
48/5 * 15 hour
= (48 * 15)/(5 * 24) days = 6 days.

2.(5) (a) = 2P^2  (3p^2 + 5) + 9 - 2p^2 (P^2 - 1)
= 6p^4 + 10p^2 + 9 - 2p^4 + 2p^2
= 4p^2 + 12p^2 + 9
= (2p^2 + 3)^2
(b) = (2p^2 + 3)^2
(c) = (2p^2 - 3)^2
(d) = 4p^4 + 12p^2 + 9
= (2p^2 + 3)^2
so (a) = (b) = (d)
Therefore, the required answer is option (4).

3(2)According to question.
Population of town (last year) = 120,000
Present population of town
= 100000 - 5% of 120000
= 120000 - (5 * 120000)/100
= 120000 - 60000
= 114000
so Next year population of town
= 114000 - 5% of 114000
= 114000 - (5 * 114000)/100
= 114000 - 5700 = 108300

4.(4) (a) = 138138 ÷ 13 = 10626
(b) = 121211 ÷ 13 = 9323 12/13
(c) = 124214 ÷ 13 = 9554 12/13
 (d) = 120120 ÷ 13 = 9240
Therefore, the required, answer is option (4).

5(1) A's work in one minute = 1/4
B's work in one minute = 1/5
C's work in one minute = 1/3
so (A+B+C)'s work in one minute
= (1/4 + 1/5 - 1/3)
= (15 + 12 - 20)/60 = 7/60
so Time taken to fill 1-4/5
i.e. 1/5 part of tank
= 60/7 * 1/5 = 12/7 = 1 5/7 minutes

6.(4)  From the Formula
A = P (1 + 10/100  )^t
in first case
A1 = 500 (1 + 10/100  )^2
= 500 * 110/100 * 110/100 = Rs. 605
so Compound Interest
= 605 - 500 = Rs. 105
so In second case
r = 10/2 = 5% half yearly
t = 1 * 2 = 2 half yearly.
so A2 = 800 (1 + 5/100  )^2
= 800 * 105/100 * 105/100
= 800 * 21/20 * 21/20 = Rs. 882
so compound Interest
= Rs. 882 = Rs. 800
= Rs. 82
so Required difference
= 105 - 82 = Rs. 23

7.(2)  Let the number of purchased pack = x
so According to question.
4500/x = 4500/x -10 - 5
or, 4500 [1/(x )-1/(x - 10)] = -5
or, 900 [1/(x - 10)  - 1/(x )] = 1
or, (900 [x - (x - 10) ])/((x - 10)x)= 1
or, 900 * 10 = x^2 - 10x
or , x^2 - 10x - 9000 = 0
or x^2 - 100x + 90x - 9000
= 0
or, x(0 - 100) + 90 (x -100)
= 0
or, (x + 90) (x - 100) = 0
or, x = - 90 and 100
Since the value of x should not be negative, therefore, the required answer is 100.
8.(3)
9.(1) work done by 2(A + B + C) in one day
= (1/3  +1/6+1/8 )
= (8 + 4 + 3)/24 = 15/24 = 5/8 part
so (A + B + C)'s one day work
= 5/8*2 = 5/16 work
so Whole work can be done by
(A + B + C) in 16/5 days i.e. 3 1/5 days
Therefore, the required answer is option (1).
10.(4)
