Step 1

Step 2
∠ABC = 180° - ∠AEC   [ Opposite angels of cyclic quadrilateral are supplementary.]

Step 3
Since ∠ABC = ∠ADE   [ Opposite angles of parallelogram are equal.]
∠ADE = 180° - ∠AEC

Step 4
∠ADE = ∠AED   [ 180° - ∠AEC = ∠AED]

Step 5
AE
Since ADE is isosceles with angles ∠ADE = ∠AED, AD = AE, therefore = 1.

Step 2
Let's assume the side of the equilateral triangle ΔABC is x.
The area of the triangle ΔABC can be calculated using Heron's formula, since all sides of the
triangles are known.
S = (AB + BC + CA)/2
= (x + x + x)/2
= 3x/2 cm.
The area of the ΔABC =

(3) 60°

Step 1
We know that the sum of all the three internal angles of a triangle must be 180°.
180
Thus, the mean of all the internal angles of a triangle = = 60

Step 2
Hence, the mean of all the internal angles of a triangle is 60°

(4) 28

Step 1
Let us first find all divisors of 28, excluding 28 itself.

Step 2
We know that the divisors of 28 are: 1, 2, 4, 7, and 14.

Step 3
The sum of its divisors, {28} = 1 + 2 + 4 + 7 + 14 = 28.

Step 4
Since {28} = 28:
{{{28}}} = {{28}} = {28} = 28.

(5) 87.5

Step 1
The average of the scores Sanjana got in four different tests is 86.75. So the sum of scores in all
four tests = 86.75 × 4 = 347.

Step 2
The average of highest three scores is 87. Thus the total of the highest three scores = 87 × 3 =
261.

Step 3
This means that the lowest score is equal to 347 - 261 = 86.

Step 4
The lowest two scores are the same. This means the other lower score is also equal to 86.

Step 5
The total of lowest two scores is equal to 86 + 86 = 172. So the total of remaining two scores will
be 347 - 172 = 175.

Step 6
175
This means that the average of the highest two scores is equal to = 87.5.

(6) Matthew

Step 1
Lets assume X is in center.

Step 2
Since Divya is on the left of X but is on right of Shweta. It will be like as:
Shweta Divya X.

Step 3
Sara is on the right of Matthew and Vandita is on the right of Sara. It will be as following:
Matthew Sara Vandita.

Step 4
On comparing above two configurations, it is clear that X has to be Matthew, hence final seating is
as following:
Shweta Divya Matthew Sara Vandita

Step 5
Thus, Matthew is in the center.

(7) 7

Step 1
The diagonal of a polygon is the line segment that connects non-adjacent vertices of a polygon.

Step 2
Let us consider a polygon with n sides.
n(n - 3)
We know, the total number of diagonals of a polygon with n sides =
2

Step 3
According to the question, the number of diagonals in the convex polygon are 14.
n(n - 3)
Therefore, 14 =
2
⇒ 28 = n 2 - 3n
⇒ n2 - 3n - 28 = 0
⇒ (n - 7)(n + 4) = 0
Either, (n - 7) = 0 or (n + 4) = 0
Since, a polygon never have 0 or less than zero sides,
and hence, (n + 4) ≠ 0.
Therefore, (n - 7) = 0
⇒n=7

Step 4
Thus, the given polygon has 7 sides.

(8) 73°

Step 1

According to the question ∠ADB is the right angle, ∠ADB = 90°,

∠DAB = 45°
In right angled triangle ΔADB,
  ∠ADB + ∠DAB + ∠ABD = 180° [Since, the sum of all the angles of a triangle is equal to
180°.]
⇒ 90° + 45° + ∠ABD = 180°
⇒ 135° + ∠ABD = 180°
⇒ ∠ABD = 45°

Step 2
In ΔBEC,
∠ABD + ∠BEC + 28° = 180°
⇒ 45° + ∠BEC + 28° = 180°
⇒ ∠BEC + 73° = 180°
⇒ ∠BEC = 180° - 73°
⇒ ∠BEC = 107°

Step 3
x + ∠BEC = 180° [Since, the sum of all angles on one side of a straight line is equal to
180°.]
⇒ x = 180° - ∠BEC
⇒ x = 180° - 107°
⇒ x = 73°

Step 4
Hence, the value of angle x is 73°.

(9) 1

Step 1
Let us look at the units digits of a few powers of 7:
71 = 7, unit digit is 7
72 = 7 × 7 = 49, unit digit is 9
73 = 7 × 7 × 7 = 343, unit digit is 3
74 = 7 × 7 × 7 × 7 = 2201, unit digit is 1
75 = 7 × 7 × 7 × 7 × 7 = 15407, unit digit is 7

Step 2
We can see that the unit digit repeats after the power 4. We can further observe that the unit digit
of powers of 7 repeats after every power that is a multiple of 4.

Step 3
748
Remainder of =0
4
This means 748 is a perfect multiple of 4.

Step 4

Therefore, the unit digit of (830037) 748 = unit digit of 7 0, which is 1.

(12) 808

Step 1
It is given that,

It means that value of polynomial P for any x is same as its value for (x + 7/2).

Step 2
It also means that if we keep adding 7/2 to the x, the value will remain unchanged. i.e.
P(x) = P(x + 7/2)
⇒ P(x) = P[(x + 7/2) + 7/2] = P( x + 2(7/2))
⇒ P(x) = P[(x + 2(7/2)) + 7/2] = P( x + 3(7/2))
⇒ P(x) = P[(x + 3(7/2)) + 7/2] = P( x + 4(7/2))
and so on..
⇒ P(x) = P[(x + 3(7/2)) + 7/2] = P( x + n(7/2)) ...... (1) [where n is any natural number]

Step 3
Now we can write P(25) in terms of P(4) as following,
P(25) = P(4 + 21)
⇒ P (25) = P(4 + 6 (7/2)]
⇒ P (25) = P(4) ........... [using relation (1)]

Step 4
Since P(25) = P(4), value of P(25) = 808

(14) 13 cm

Step 1
We know, OA and OD are the radius of the circle.
Therefore, OA = OD.
Also, OD is perpendicular to chord AB i.e. OC is perpendicular to chord AB.
Therefore, ∠OCA = 90°.
We know that the perpendicular from the centre of a circle to a chord bisects the chord. So, the
AB
point C divides the chord AB into two equal parts, i.e., AC = CB = .
2
We also know that CD = OD - OC = OA - OC
⇒ OC = OA - CD

Step 2
As, ΔOAC is a right-angle triangle, using pythagoras theorem. We have,
AC2 + OC2 = OA2
From this, the relation between AB, CD and OA can be given as:
AB
( ) 2 + (OA - CD) 2 = OA2
2

Step 3
Here, we know CD = 8 and AB = 24.
Substituting and simplifying in the equation we get the value of OA is 13 cm.

(15) a. Statements I and II both are not sufficient

Step 1
To conclude which train has lesser speed. We need two information i.e which train is relatively
faster and position of town X.

Step 2
So, Statements I and II both are not sufficient to understand the problem clearly.

Step 3
Hence, a is the correct option.
