Question : Half of the perimeter of a rectangle is 30 cm. If the length of the rectangle is 6 cm more than its breadth, then what is the area of the rectangle?
Option 1: 216 cm2
Option 2: 250 cm2
Option 3: 185 cm2
Option 4: 195 cm2
Correct Answer: 216 cm2
Solution : Half of the perimeter of a rectangle is 30 cm. Let the length be $x$. So, breadth = $x-6$ Total perimeter = 30 × 2 ⇒ $2(x+x-6)=60$ ⇒ $4x=72$ $\therefore x=18$ So, length = 18, breadth = 18 – 6 = 12 $\therefore$

Question : If $x^{\frac{1}{4}}+x^{\frac{-1}{4}}=2$, then what is the value of $x^{81}+\frac{1}{x^{81}}$?
Option 1: –2
Option 2: 0
Option 3: 1
Option 4: 2
Correct Answer: 2
Solution : Given: $x^{\frac{1}{4}}$ + $x^{-\frac{1}{4}}=2$ $x^{\frac{1}{4}}$ + $\frac{1}{x^{\frac{1}{4}}}=2$ ⇒ $x^{\frac{1}{4}}$ + $\frac{1}{x^{\frac{1}{4}}}$ – 2$x^{\frac{1}{8}}$ × $\frac{1}{x^{\frac{1}{8}}}=0$ ⇒ ($x^{\frac{1}{8}} – \frac{1}{x^{\frac{1}{8}}})^2=0$ ⇒ $x^{\frac{1}{8}}$ – $\frac{1}{x^{\frac{1}{8}}} = 0$ ⇒ $x^{\frac{1}{8}} = \frac{1}{x^\frac{1}{8}}$ ⇒ $x^{\frac{1}{4}} = 1$ ⇒ $x$ = 1 Now, $x^{81}+ \frac{1}{x^{81}}$= (1)81 + $\frac{1}{(1)^{81}} =
Question : $\triangle PQR$ is right angled at Q. If PQ = 12 cm and PR = 13 cm, find $\tan P+\cot R$.
Option 1: $\frac{9}{10}$
Option 2: $0$
Option 3: $\frac{10}{12}$
Option 4: $\frac{12}{10}$
Correct Answer: $\frac{10}{12}$
Solution : PQ = 12 cm PR = 13 cm By Pythagoras theorem, PR2 = PQ2 + QR2 132 = 122 + QR2 QR2 = 169 – 144 = 25 ⇒ QR = 5 cm $\tan P$ = $\frac{5}{12}$ ⇒

Question : Directions: Four number triads have been given, out of which three are alike in some manner and one is different. Select the one that is different. (NOTE: The second and third numbers in the given number triads are formed by performing a certain operation on the first number. The same operation is followed in all the number triads except one. Find that odd number triad.)
Option 1: 84 : 294 : 210
Option 2: 68 : 238 : 170
Option 3: 96 : 336 : 192
Option 4: 52 : 182 : 130
Correct Answer: 96 : 336 : 192
Solution : Let's check each option – First option: 84 : 294 : 210→294 – 210 = 84 Second option: 68 : 238 : 170→238 – 170 = 68 Third option: 96 : 336 : 192→336 – 192 = 144 ≠ 96 Fourth
