⇒ 2y − 3 = 61
⇒ 2y = 64
⇒ y = 32
So, Suvarna's age = 32 and Amit's age = 32 − 3 = 29 years
Suvarna's age on 1st January 2010 is 32 − 5 = 27 years

51. (a) Let the first even number be x. Five consecutive even numbers are = x, x+2, x+4, x+6, x+8 Average of five consecutive even numbers = M
Sum of the five consecutive even numbers = 5M
(x + x + 2 + x + 4 + x + 6 + x + 8)/x = M
5x = 5M − 20 ⇒ x = M − 4
Now, next five even numbers are x + 10, x + 12, x + 14, x + 16, x + 18 Put the value of x in next five even numbers & solve them
M + 6, M + 8, M + 10, M + 12, M + 14 Average of the ten numbers
5M + M + 6 + M + 8 + M + 10 + M + 12 + M + 14
10
⇒ (10M + 50)/10 = M + 5
Hence, Average of ten numbers will be = M + 5

52. (c) 5/2 + 3/2 + 6×1/2
= −5/2 + 3/2 × 1/6 × 1/2
= −5/2 + 1/8
= (−20 + 1)/8 = −19/8

53. (a) We know that, (x² − y²) = (x + y)(x − y) (a + b − c + d)² − (a − b + c − d)²
= [(a + b − c + d) + (a − b + c − d)]
= [(a + b − c + d) − (a − b + c − d)]
= (2a)(2b − 2c + 2d)
= 4a(b + d − c)

54. (d) 2 sin θ − 8cos²θ + 5 = 0
⇒ 2sin θ − 8(1 − sin²θ) + 5 = 0
⇒ 8sin²θ + 2sin θ − 3 = 0
⇒ 8sin²θ + 6sin θ − 4sin θ − 3 = 0
⇒ 2sin θ(4sin θ + 3) − 1(4sin θ + 3) = 0
⇒ (4sin θ + 3)(2sin θ − 1) = 0
sin θ = −3/4 or sin θ = 1/2
Since, 0° < θ < 90°
So, sin θ = 1/2 ⇒ θ = 30°
Now, tan 2θ + cosec 2θ
= tan 60° + cosec 60°
= √3 + 2/√3 = 5/√3 = 5√3/3

55. (c) Given, speed of two racers is 100 m/min and 120 m/min respectively. Ratio of their speed = 100:120 = 5:6 We know that, Time is inversely proportional to speed. So, Time ratio = 6:5 Suppose the time be = 6x and 5x According to the question 6x − 5x = 10 ⇒ x = 10 min To complete the race by first racer time taken will be ⇒ 6x = 6×10 = 60 min Distance = Speed × Time Distance = 60×100 = 6000/1000 = 6 km Thus, the race distance is 6 km

56. (b) Salary of A = 52000
Extra incomes of A = 5500 + 3500 + 5000 = 14000
4 times of extra income = 4×14000 = 56000
4 times of extra income = 4×14000 = 56000
Salary of B = 48500
Extra incomes of B = 4500 + 3000 + 3000 = 10500
4 times of extra income = 4×10500 = 42000 Salary of C = 42000
Extra incomes of C = 1500 + 4000 + 2500 = 2000 = 10000
4 times of extra income = 4×10000 = 40000 Salary of D = 31000
Extra incomes of D = 2500 + 3000 + 2000 = 1500 = 9000
4 times of extra income = 4×9000 = 36000 Salary of E = 25000
Extra incomes of E = 3200 + 1500 + 2000 = 6700
4 times of extra income = 4×6700 = 26800
Hence, 2 employees B & C have their salary more than 4 times their extra or other incomes.
So, required answer is 2.

57. (d) Number of students who got 20 or more marks = 14 + 19 + 6 + 3 = 42
Total number of students = 13 + 15 + 18 + 12 + 14 + 19 + 6 + 3 = 100
The percentage will be 42/100 × 100 = 42%

58. (b) (tan 30° + tan 60°)/cos 30°
= (1/√3 + √3)/(√3/2)
= ((1 + 3)/√3)/(√3/2)
= (4/√3) × (2/√3) = 8/3

59. (c) In the figure, cot R = base/perpendicular = 15/8

60. (a) A can finish the work = 20 days
Work done by A in a day = 1/20 B can finish the work = 25 days Work done by B in a day = 1/25
Suppose A complete the remaining work in x days.
Now, according to the question
5/20 + 5/25 + x/20 = 1
⇒ (25 + 20 + 5x)/100 = 1
⇒ 5x = 100 − 45
⇒ x = 55/5 = 11
Hence, A will finish the remaining work in = 11 days.

61. (b) Radius of hemisphere (r) is = 7 cm Curved surface area of hemisphere is = 2πr²
= 2 × 22/7 × 7 × 7 = 308 cm²

= (36 ÷ 42 of 6 × 7 + 24 × 1/3 + 3/4 − (10) ÷ 8) / (21 ÷ 3 of 7)
= (1 + 8 − 3/4 − 5/4) / (1)
= (4 + 32 − 3 − 5)/4 = 28/4 = 7

63. (d) Number of patients less than 50 = 35 Number of patients less than 40 = 29 So, number of patients whose age is 40 to 50 = 35 − 29 = 6 Number of patients less than 60 = 45
So, number of patients whose age is 50 to 60 = 45 − 35 = 10 Number of patients in age group 40 to 60 is = 10 + 6 = 16

64. (c) Total number of students of all subject = 35 + 18 + 25 + 47 + 45 + 40 + 10 + 30 = 250
Total number of students in Science and Vocational are = 35 + 18 + 10 + 30 = 93 Percentage of students in Science and
= 186/5 = 37.2%

65. (c) ∠BAC = 40°
[आकृति]
If AB = AC then, ∠ABC = ∠ACB
We know that sum of angles of a triangle is 180°
∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180°
⇒ 40° + ∠B + ∠B = 180°
⇒ 2∠B = 140°
⇒ ∠B = 70°

66. (d) If the number 94*2357 is divisible by 11 Then, the sum of all alternative digit will be equal ∴ 9 + * + 3 + 7 = 4 + 2 + 5
⇒ 19 + * = 11
⇒ * = 11 − 19
⇒ * = −8
Hence, the value of * = 11 − 8 = 3

67. (c) Suppose the numbers are 5x and 7x.
First number is 20 Now, 5x = 20
⇒ x = 4 Thus, the second number is 7x = 7×4 = 28

68. (c) Suppose the number be x.
A/Q, x × [(80/100) − (62/100)] = 198
⇒ x = 198/18 × 100
⇒ x = 1100
Now,
1100 × (92/100) − 1100 × (56/100)
= 11 × (92 − 56)
= 11 × 36 = 396
Hence, the difference between 92% and 56% will be 396.

69. (d) AB = 4 cm, AC = 6 cm and BP = 3 cm AP bisects ∠BAC
Now, AB/AC = BP/CP
⇒ 4/6 = 3/CP
⇒ CP = 18/4 = 4.5 cm

70. (c) SP of 6 sewing machines = 63000
Profit = 5%
CP of 6 sewing machines = 63000/105 × 100
CP of 1 sewing machine = 60000/6 = 10000
After 15% profit,
SP of 1 sewing machine = 10000 × 115/100
SP of 1 sewing machine = 10000 × 115/100
= 11500 SP of 8 sewing machines = 11500 × 8 = 92000

71. (d) In Quad. AOBP
∠AOB + ∠APB = 180°
⇒ ∠AOB + 62° = 180°
⇒ ∠AOB = 118°
⇒ ∠AQB = 1/2∠AOB
(∵ Angle at the centre of a circle is twice the angle at the circumference)
⇒ ∠AQB = 1/2 × 118° = 59°.

72. (c) We know that
a³ − b³ = (a − b)(a² + b² + ab)
⇒ 27a³ − 2√2b³
= (3a − √2b)(9a² + 2b² + 3√2ab)

73. (c)
[आकृति]
OS = 3cm Radius of circle OP = 5cm We know that,
OP² = OS² + PS²
⇒ 5² = 3² + PS²
⇒ PS² = 25 − 9
⇒ PS = √16 = 4cm
PQ = 2 × PS = 2 × 4 = 8cm

74. (a) Suppose the CP of the article is 100
MP of the article = 100 × 140/100 = 140
SP of the article = 140 × 80/100 = 112
Profit = 112 − 100 = 12
Hence, the profit % = 12/100 × 100 = 12%

75. (b) Simple interest for 3 years = 1200/3 = 400
Simple interest for 1 year = 1200/3 = 400
Now, 5% of 400 = 20
⇒ 5% of 20 = 1
Applying ratio method CI for 3 years = 3:3:1
= 3×400 + 3×20 + 1×1
= 1200 + 60 + 1 = 1261
Hence, the required answer is = 1261

93. (d) The passage is about Bheema who visited his fields and spotted a rising disc shaped object. Thus, C will be the first in the sequence.
In sentence B, he thought it was a stuck kite. So B will be the next in the sequence. But as he noticed it started rising higher and emitted light, he was shocked after seeing that which is given in sentence D. So, D will be the next in sequence. At last, we are left with only one option i.e. sentence A, in which he called out to the people to see the thing in the sky. Hence, A will be the last in the sequence. Thus, the correct sequence is : "CBDA".

In sentence C, we are talking about the strength of character as a personality trait or a quality which connects with sentence A. So, C will be the next in sequence.

respectable means worthy of respect, but does not fit the context.
