Question : If the sum of the roots of a quadratic equation is 1 and the product of the roots is –20, find the quadratic equation.
Option 1: $x^{2}–x–20=0$
Option 2: $x^{2}+x+20=0$
Option 3: $x^{2}+x–20=0$
Option 4: $x^{2}–x+20=0$
Correct Answer: $x^{2}–x–20=0$
Solution : Given: The sum of the roots = 1 The product of the roots is = –20 We know that quadratic equation: $x^{2}–(\text{sum of the root})x+(\text{product of the root})=0$ ⇒ $x^{2}–(1)x+(–20)=0$ ⇒ $x^{2}–x–20=0$ Hence, the correct answer is $x^{2}–x–20=0$.

Option 1: 50 km/hr
Option 2: 40 km/hr
Option 3: 50 m/sec
Option 4: 40 m/sec
Correct Answer: 40 km/hr
Solution : There are 4 members. Each member has to cover 5 km one after another. ⇒ Total distance covered by the 4 members = 5 $×$ 4 = 20 km Total time taken = 30 min = $\frac{1}{2}$ hour $\therefore$ Average speed $=\frac{\text{Total distance}}{\text{Total time}}=
Question : Directions: Prabhu travelled from his house a distance of 20 km to his friend's house. After some time, he left his friend's house took a turn towards the right and travelled 15 km to reach a park.

Question : The SI unit of acceleration is ______.
Option 1: m2/s
Option 2: m2/s2
Option 3: m/s
Option 4: m/s2
Correct Answer: m/s2

Question : The product of two positive integers is 2048 and one of them is twice the other. The smaller number is:
Option 1: 32
Option 2: 64
Option 3: 16
Option 4: 1024
Correct Answer: 32
Solution : Let the first number be $x$, then the second number is $2x$. According to the question, $x(2x) = 2048$ ⇒ $x^2 = 1024$ ⇒ $x = 32$ So, the smaller number is 32. Hence, the correct answer is 32.
Question : Directions: In the following question, find the odd number pair from the given alternatives.
Option 1: 64
Option 2: 125
Option 3: 225
Option 4: 216
Correct Answer: 225
Solution : Let's check the options — First option: 64→43 = 64 Second option: 125→53 = 125 Third option: 225→225 is not a perfect cube. Fourth option: 216→63 = 216
So, the third option is different from the other three options as all other
Question : Directions: Study the given pattern carefully and select the number that can replace the question mark (?) in it. (7, 5, 10); (2, 1, 5); (16, 6, ?) (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.)
Option 2: 50
Option 3: 45
Option 4: 24
Correct Answer: 50
Solution : Given: (7, 5, 10); (2, 1, 5); (16, 6, ?)
In the given sets, multiply the difference of the first and second numbers by 5 to get the third number. Like, (7, 5, 10)→(7 – 5) × 5 = 2 × 5 = 10 And,
