Option 1: 100 cm3
Option 2: 1600 cm3
Option 3: 1200 cm3
Option 4: 800 cm3
Correct Answer: 1600 cm3

Question : If $\tan (\alpha+\beta)=a, \tan (\alpha-\beta)=b$, then the value of $\tan 2 \alpha$ is:
Option 1: $\frac{a+b}{1-a b}$
Option 2: $\frac{a+b}{1+a b}$
Option 3: $\frac{a-b}{1+a b}$
Option 4: $\frac{a-b}{1-a b}$
Correct Answer: $\frac{a+b}{1-a b}$
Solution : Given, $\tan (\alpha+\beta)=a$ and $\tan (\alpha-\beta)=b$ $\tan{2\alpha}=\tan((\alpha + \beta)+(\alpha - \beta)) = \frac{\tan(\alpha+\beta) + \tan(\alpha - \beta)}{1-\tan(\alpha + \beta)\tan(\alpha - \beta)}= \frac{a+b}{1-ab}$ Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{a+b}{1-ab}$.
Question : Which of the following are warm - blooded animals?
Option 1: Whales
Option 2: Sharks

Question : Directions: Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as the numbers of the following sets. (NOTE: Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into their constituent digits. E.g. 13 – operations on 13 such as adding/subtracting/multiplying etc. to 13 can be performed. Breaking down 13 into 1 and 3 and then performing mathematical operations on 1 and 3 is not allowed.) (24, 3, 10); (144, 9, 18)
Option 1: (54, 9, 4)
Option 2: (156, 8, 19)
Option 3: (72, 8, 9)
Option 4: (133, 7, 21)
Correct Answer: (133, 7, 21)
Solution : Given: (24, 3, 10); (144, 9, 18)
In the given sets, divide the first number by the second number and then add 2 to it to get the third number. (24, 3, 10)→(24 ÷ 3) + 2 = 8 + 2 = 10
Question : Directions: Select the option that is related to the fifth number in the same way as the second number is related to the first number and the fourth number is related to the third number. 19 : 324 :: 25 : 576 :: 9 : ?
Option 1: 16
Option 2: 64
Option 3: 88
Option 4: 72
Correct Answer: 64
Solution : Given: 19 : 324 :: 25 : 576 :: 9 : ?
In the given number pairs, subtract 1 from the first number and then find the square of the resultant, to get the second number. Like, 19 : 324→(19 – 1)2 = (18)
Question : The value of $\frac{(2.53)^3+(2.47)^3}{25.3 \times 25.3-624.91+24.7 \times 24.7}$ is 5 × 10k, where the value of k is:
Option 1: –2
Option 2: –1
Option 3: 1
Option 4: 2
Correct Answer: –2
Solution : $\frac{(2.53)^3+(2.47)^3}{25.3 \times 25.3-624.91+24.7 \times 24.7}$ $\Rightarrow \frac{(2.53)^3+(2.47)^3}{25.3 \times 25.3-624.91+24.7 \times 24.7} = 5\times 10^{k}$ $\Rightarrow \frac{(2.53+2.47)(2.53^{2}+2.47^{2}-2.53\times 2.47)}{100\times2.53 \times 2.53-100\times6.2491+100\times2.47 \times 2.47} = 5\times 10^{k}$ $\Rightarrow \frac{(2.53+2.47)(2.53^{2}-6.2491+2.47^{2})}{10^{2}(2.53 \times 2.53-6.2491+2.47 \times 2.47)} = 5\times 10^{k}$ $\Rightarrow (2.53+2.47)\times10^{-2}=5\times 10^{k}$ $\Rightarrow 5\times10^{-2}=5\times 10^{k}$ $\therefore k=-2$ Hence, the correct answer
Question : Vikas covered a certain distance by bike. If he covers 40% of the distance at 40 km/hr, 50% of the distance at 25 km/hr and the remaining 10% distance at 10 km/hr. Find his average speed over the whole distance.
Option 1: 25 km/hr
Option 2: 28 km/hr
Option 3: 26 km/hr
Option 4: 30 km/hr
Correct Answer: 25 km/hr
Solution : Given, Vikas covers 40% of the distance at 40 km/hr, 50% of the distance at 25 km/hr, and the remaining 10% distance at 10 km/hr. Let the total distance be $100x$ We know the average speed = $\frac{\text{Total distance}}{\text{Sum of total speed}}$ = $\frac{100x}{\frac{100x\times40\%}{40}+\frac{100x\times50\%}{25}+\frac{100x\times10\%}{10}}$
