Q2. In a mathematics exam, the teacher gives the question and asked his students to solve it. Arjun
solved it correctly such that if x and y are real numbers, the least possible value of the expression:
4(𝑥 − 2)2 + 4(𝑦 − 3)2 − 2(𝑥 − 3)2 that can be calculated?

a) -9
b) -4
c) -8
d) -11
e) -12

Ans. b
 Solution:

4(𝑥 − 2)2 + 4(𝑦 − 3)2 − 2(𝑥 − 3)2

 2𝑥 2 − 4𝑥 − 2 + 4(𝑦 − 3)2

 2 (𝑥 2 − 2𝑥 + 1) + 4(𝑦 − 3)2 − 4

 2 (𝑥 − 1)2 + 4(𝑦 − 3)2 − 4

This is minimum when x= 1 & y =3.

Hence, min value is – 4

Time taken by A to walk 2 km = 30 min

Time taken by A to ride by tractor =24 min

Let’s consider person S

Time taken by S to walk 2 km = 24 min

Time taken by S to ride by car = 30 min

So, Total journey time for both = 30 +24+30 = 84 min.

Hence, they would be together at B at 9.24 AM

choose to take classes in Mathematics. Political Science, Bengali or combination of any two. Six
students took both Mathematics and Political Science. 15 students took both Political Science and
Bengali, but none opted for Maths and Bengali as a combo. In an English quiz, the average mark
scored by students who took Mathematics is 45 and that of students who took Bengali is 60. The
combined average mark in English of students of these two combos is 50. What is the maximum
possible number of students who only took Political Science?

a) 15
b) 30
c) 25
d) 20
e) 35

Ans. a

Solution:

Total strength = 60

Average marks in Math’s = 45

Average marks in Bengali = 60 (Combined Average marks = 50)

Let the no. of students in Maths & Bengali are in the ratio x:y

So, x: y = (60 – 50): (50 – 45) = 10: 5

 2 :1

So, let’s make Venn diagram:

Since Math has twice the number of students as Bengali.

 So, Math has 30 & Bengali has 15 people.

Hence, Political Science only can have maximum 60 – (30 + 15) = 15 people.

d) 10
e) 9

Ans. 9

Solution:

When Lee was born, let’s assume age of father was F and mother was M.

Let’s say when Mao was born after X years of Lee, age of Lee = X years

 x + (F + x) + (M + x) =70 -----(1)

When Pao was born (further after 4 years),

then ages of 4 family members = 2 × (Ages of father & mother at Lee’s birth)

(x + 4) + 4 + (F + x + 4) + (M + x + 4) = 2 (F+ M)

 3x + 16 = F+ M ------(2)
 Putting value of (F + M) from eqn. (2) to (1), we get

Solution:

y=8–x ------- (i) {when y is positive}

y=x–8 ------- (ii) {when y is negative}

y=6–x ------- (iii) {when x is positive}

y=6+x ------- (iv) {when x is negative}

with the condition that y cannot be greater than 6, because if y > 6, |x| will have to be negative.

On checking for the slopes, you will see that lines (i) and (iii) are parallel. Also (ii) and (iv) are parallel
(same slope).

Lines (i) and (iv) will intersect, but only for x = 1; which is not possible as equation (iv) holds good
only when x is negative.

Lines (ii) and (iii) do intersect within the given constraints. We get x = 7, y = -1. This satisfies both
equations. Hence, only one equation is possible.

DIRECTIONS for the question (Q19-Q22): Study the table given below and answer the question that
follows:

Applicants for the PhD programs of Amby Institute of Engineering (AIE) and Bambit Institute of
Engineering (BIE) have to take Common Entrance Test (CET). The test was divided into three
sections: Physics (P), Chemistry (C), and Math (M). From those taking CET, those who are at or above
the 80th percentile in at least two sections and at or above the 90th percentile overall is selected for
Advanced Entrance Test (AET) conducted by AIE directly. AET is used by AIE for final stage selection.
From those 200 test takers ≥ 90th percentile overall based on CET, additional information about
their performance in CET are given below:

1. None is below the 80th percentile in all the 3 sections.

2. In exactly two section 150 scored 80 and above percentile.

3. Number of test takers at or above the 80th percentile only in Physics is equal to the number of
test takers at or above the 80th percentile only in Chemistry. It is the same in the number of test
takers at or above the 80th percentile only in Math.

4. Number of test takers below 80th percentile in Physics: Number of test takers below 80th
percentile in Chemistry: Number of test takers below 80th percentile in Math is given in the ratio of
4:2:1.

BIE uses a different method for selection. If any test taker is appearing in the AET by AIE, BIE gives
weightage to their AET score for final selection provided the candidate is at or above the 80th
percentile in Physics. Any other test taker at or above the 80th percentile in Physics in CET, but the
ineligible test taker for the AET is required to take a separate test to be conducted by BIE for being
considered for final selection. In total, there are 400 candidates this year who are at or above the
80th percentile in Physics.

Q19. Derive the best conclusion of the number of test takers taking the separate test for BIE who
were ≥ 90th percentile overall in CET?

a) 3 or 10
b) 7 or 10
c) 5
d) 12

Ans. (a)

Solution:

In the given numerical, 200 candidates scored above 90th percentile overall in CET.

Say the following Venn diagram represent the number of test takers who scored above 80
percentiles in CET in each of the given three sections:
From condition 1, h = 0.

From condition 2, d + e + f = 150.

From condition 3, a = b = c.

Since there is a total of 200 candidates,

3a + g = 200 – 150 = 50.

From condition 4, (2a + f) : (2a + e) : (2a + d) = 4 : 2 : 1

Hence, 6a + (d + e + f) is divisible by 4 + 2 + 1 = 7.

Since d + e + f = 150, 6a + 150 is divisible by 7, i.e., 6a + 3 is divisible by 7.

Hence, a = 3, 10, 17, . . .

We know that 3a + g = 50, a must be < 17.

Hence, only two cases are possible for the value of a.

i.e. 3 or 10.

We can calculate the values of the other variables for the two cases.

a = 3 or 10, d = 18 or 10, e = 42 or 40, f = 90 or 100, g = 41 or 20.

Among the test taker who are at or above 90th percentile, the test taker who are at or above
80th percentile in at least two sections are selected for AET.

Hence, the test taker represented by d, e, f and g are selected for AET. BIE will consider the test
taker who are appearing for AET and are at or above 80th percentile in P.

BIE will consider the test taker represented by d, e and g, which can be 104 or 80. BIE will conduct
a separate test for the other students who are at or above 80th percentile in P.

As per numerical there are a total of 400 test takers at or above 80th percentile in P.
 Since there are 104 or 80 test takers at or above 80th percentile in P and are at or above 90th
percentile in total, so there must be 296 or 320 test takers at or above 80th percentile in P who
scored less than 90th percentile overall.

percentile overall and ≥ 80th percentile in Physics and Math in CET?

a) 55
b) 50
c) 70
d) 60
e) 80

Ans. d

Solution:

In the given numerical, 200 candidates scored above 90th percentile overall in CET.

Say the following Venn diagram represent the number of test takers who scored above 80
percentiles in CET in each of the given three sections:
 From condition 1, h = 0.

From condition 2, d + e + f = 150.

From condition 3, a = b = c.

Since there are a total of 200 candidates,

3a + g = 200 – 150 = 50.

From condition 4, (2a + f) : (2a + e) : (2a + d) = 4 : 2 : 1

Hence, 6a + (d + e + f) is divisible by 4 + 2 + 1 = 7.

Since d + e + f = 150, 6a + 150 is divisible by 7, i.e., 6a + 3 is divisible by 7.

Hence, a = 3, 10, 17, . . .

We know that 3a + g = 50, a must be < 17.

Hence, only two cases are possible for the value of a.

i.e. 3 or 10.

We can calculate the values of the other variables for the two cases.

a = 3 or 10, d = 18 or 10, e = 42 or 40, f = 90 or 100, g = 41 or 20.

Among the test taker who are at or above 90th percentile, the test taker who are at or above 80th
percentile in at least two sections are selected for AET.

Hence, the test taker represented by d, e, f and g are selected for AET. BIE will consider the test
taker who are appearing for AET and are at or above 80th percentile in P.

BIE will consider the test taker represented by d, e and g, which can be 104 or 80. BIE will conduct
a separate test for the other students who are at or above 80th percentile in P.

As per numerical there are a total of 400 test takers at or above 80th percentile in P.

Since there are 104 or 80 test takers at ≥ 80th percentile in P and are at ≥ 90th percentile in total,
so there must be 296 or 320 test takers at or above 80th percentile in P who scored less than 90th
percentile overall.

As per the given scenario, g is a multiple of 5.

Hence, g = 20.
Number of test takers ≥ 90th percentile in all ≥ 80th percentile in both Physics and Math = e + g = 60.

a) 150
b) 170
c) 160
d) 180
e) 190

Ans. b

Solution:

In the given numerical, 200 candidates scored above 90th percentile overall in CET.

Say the following Venn diagram represent the number of test takers who scored above 80
percentiles in CET in each of the given three sections:

From condition 1, h = 0.

From condition 2, d + e + f = 150.

From condition 3, a = b = c.

Since there are a total of 200 candidates,

 3a + g = 200 – 150 = 50.

From condition 4, (2a + f) : (2a + e) : (2a + d) = 4 : 2 : 1

Hence, 6a + (d + e + f) is divisible by 4 + 2 + 1 = 7.

Since d + e + f = 150, 6a + 150 is divisible by 7, i.e., 6a + 3 is divisible by 7.

Hence, a = 3, 10, 17, . . .

We know that 3a + g = 50, a must be < 17.

Hence, only two cases are possible for the value of a.

i.e. 3 or 10.

We can calculate the values of the other variables for the two cases.

a = 3 or 10, d = 18 or 10, e = 42 or 40, f = 90 or 100, g = 41 or 20.

Among the test taker who are at or above 90th percentile, the test taker who are at or above 80th
percentile in at least two sections are selected for AET.

Hence, the test taker represented by d, e, f and g are selected for AET. BIE will consider the test

As per numerical there are a total of 400 test takers at or above 80th percentile in P.

Since there are 104 or 80 test takers at ≥ 80th percentile in P and are at ≥ 90th percentile in total,
so there must be 296 or 320 test takers at or above 80th percentile in P who scored less than 90th
percentile overall.

Given scenario, g = 20.

Number of test takers shortlisted for AET = d + e + f + g = 10 + 40 + 100 + 20 = 170

Q22. If the number of test takers who are ≥ 90th percentile in all and also are ≥ 80th percentile in
Physics in CET is > 100. Find how many test takers had to sit for the separate test for BIE?

a) 199
b) 299
c) 399
d) 499
e) None

Ans. b

Solution:

In the given numerical, 200 candidates scored above 90th percentile overall in CET.

Say the following Venn diagram represent the number of test takers who scored above 80
percentiles in CET in each of the given three sections:

From condition 1, h = 0.

From condition 2, d + e + f = 150.

From condition 3, a = b = c.

Since there are a total of 200 candidates,

3a + g = 200 – 150 = 50.

From condition 4, (2a + f) : (2a + e) : (2a + d) = 4 : 2 : 1

Hence, 6a + (d + e + f) is divisible by 4 + 2 + 1 = 7.

Since d + e + f = 150, 6a + 150 is divisible by 7, i.e., 6a + 3 is divisible by 7.

Hence, a = 3, 10, 17, . . .

We know that 3a + g = 50, a must be < 17.

 Hence, only two cases are possible for the value of a.

i.e. 3 or 10.

We can calculate the values of the other variables for the two cases.

a = 3 or 10, d = 18 or 10, e = 42 or 40, f = 90 or 100, g = 41 or 20.

Among the test taker who are at or above 90th percentile, the test taker who are at or above 80th
percentile in at least two sections are selected for AET.

Hence, the test taker represented by d, e, f and g are selected for AET. BIE will consider the test
taker who are appearing for AET and are at or above 80th percentile in P.

BIE will consider the test taker represented by d, e and g, which can be 104 or 80. BIE will conduct
a separate test for the other students who are at or above 80th percentile in P.

As per numerical there are a total of 400 test takers at or above 80th percentile in P.

Since there are 104 or 80 test takers at ≥ 80th percentile in P and are at ≥ 90th percentile in total,
so there must be 296 or 320 test takers ≥ 80th percentile in P who scored less than 90th percentile
overall.

As per the given scenario, the number of test takers ≥ 90th percentile overall and ≥ 80th
percentile in Physics in CET = 104.

The number of test takers who have to sit for separate test = 296 + 3 = 299

Q29. In the AIEEE question paper of 2006, a sum in which in the X – Y plane, the area of the region
bounded by the graph of x + y + x - y = 4 is found out to be?

a) 16
b) 18
c) 21
d) 15
e) 23

Ans. a

Solution:

x + y + x - y = 4

x+y+x–y=4

x=2

 -x – y – x + y = 4

 x = -2

x+y–x+y=4

y=2

 Similarly, (x – y) − x – y = 4

 y = −2

Area = 4 × 4 = 16
