Option 4: (4)
Correct Answer: (1)

Question : Find the value of the given expression. $\sqrt{8+\sqrt{1681}}$
Option 1: 5
Option 2: 6
Option 3: 4

Question : The curved surface area of a solid circular cylinder of height 12 cm is 2640 cm2. What is the volume (in cm3) of the cylinder? (Take $\pi =\frac{22}{7}$)
Option 1: 46200
Option 2: 37900
Option 3: 42000
Option 4: 55200
Correct Answer: 46200
Solution : Given: The curved Surface area of a cylinder = 2640 cm2 ⇒ $2πrh = 2640$ ⇒ $r=\frac{2640}{2π×12}$ ⇒ $r=\frac{2640×7}{2×22×12}$ ⇒ $r =\frac{18480}{528}$ $\therefore r=35$ cm So, the volume of cylinder = $πr^2h=\frac{22}{7}×(35)^2×12=46200$ cm3 Hence, the correct answer is 46200.
Question : If $2^x+3^y=17$ and $2^{x+2}-3^{y+1}=5$, then:
Option 1: $x= 1, y = 3$
Option 2: $x = 3, y = 3$
Option 3: $x = 3, y = 2$
Option 4: $x = 1, y = 2$
Correct Answer: $x = 3, y = 2$
Solution : $2^x+3^y=17$ $2^{x+2}-3^{y+1}=5$ By trial and error method, When $y = 2, x= 3$ $2^3+3^2=8+9=17$ $2^{3+2}-3^{2+1}=32–27=5$ Hence, the correct answer is $x = 3 $ and $y = 2$.

Option 1: INR 1,300
Option 2: INR 1,200
Option 3: INR 1,000
Option 4: 1,1000
Correct Answer: INR 1,000
Solution : Let's assume the marked price is INR $x$. Discount = 10% of $x$ = 0.1$x$ So, the selling price after the 10% discount = $x - 0.1x = 0.9x$ Gain = 12.5% of the cost price = $\frac{12.5}{100}\times 800 = 0.125 \times800$ = INR
