Question : Evaluate $\frac{\sqrt{3}+\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{3}-\sqrt{2}}$, given that $\sqrt{6}=2.45$.
Option 1: 7.7
Option 2: 9.9
Option 3: 8.8
Option 4: 6.6
Correct Answer: 9.9
Solution : $\frac{\sqrt{3}+\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{3}-\sqrt{2}}$ Rationalizing the denominator, = $\frac{(\sqrt{3}+\sqrt{2})^2}{(\sqrt{3}-\sqrt{2})(\sqrt{3}+\sqrt{2})}$ = $\frac{(3+2+2\sqrt{6})}{(3-2)}$ = $5+2\sqrt6$ = 5 + (2 × 2.45) = 5 + 4.9 = 9.9 Hence, the correct answer is 9.9.
Question : Ram covers a distance in 8 hours and Mohan covers the same distance in 4 hours. If the speed of Mohan is 10 km/hr more than Ram, then which of the following statements is/are correct? I. The speed of Mohan is 20 km/hr. II. Sum of their speed is 30 km/hr.
Option 1: Neither I nor II
Option 2: Both I and II
Option 3: Only II
Option 4: Only I
Correct Answer: Both I and II
Solution : Let the speed of Ram be $x$ km/hr ⇒ Speed of Mohan = $(x+10)$ km/hr Distance covered by Ram in 8 hours $= x × 8 = 8x$ km Distance covered by Mohan in 4 hours $= (x + 10) × 4

Question : The radius of the two concentric circles are 17 cm and 10 cm. A straight line ABCD intersects the larger circle at points A and D and intersects the smaller circle at points B and C. If BC = 12 cm, then the length of AD(in cm) is:
Option 1: 20
Option 2: 24
Option 3: 30
Option 4: 34
Correct Answer: 30
Solution : Given: OB = 10 cm, OA = 17 cm, BC = 12 cm Drawing a perpendicular from centre O on BC cuts BC in M. BM = $\frac{1}{2}×$BC = $\frac{1}{2}×$12= 6 cm From $\triangle$OBM, OB2 = OM2 + BM2 $\therefore$ OM =

Question : Directions: If S denotes multiplied by, V denotes subtracted from, M denotes added to and L denotes divided by, then 2 V 13 M 77 L 11 S 5 = ?
Option 1: 23
Option 3: 34
Option 4: 44
Correct Answer: 24
Solution : Given: 2 V 13 M 77 L 11 S 5 = ?

Question : A cask having a capacity of 600 litres is initially filled with wine. From this cask $y$ litres of wine are first drawn and replaced with water. From this mixture, 120 litres are drawn and replaced with water. From this further diluted mixture. 120 litres are drawn again and replaced with water. The ratio of wine to water in the cask is now 12 : 13. What is the value of $y$?
Option 1: 125
Option 2: 150
Option 3: 200
Option 4: 100
Correct Answer: 150
Solution : Let the initial amount of water in the cask be $y$ litres. The initial amount of wine in the cask = $600-y$ litres The ratio of wine to water = 12 : 13 So, Ratio of wine is to mixture = 12 : 25 We
