  1. 5x2 + 17x – 12 = 0, 5y2 – 18y + 9 = 0
    A) x > y
    B) x < y
    C) x ≥ y
    D) x ≤ y
    E) x = y or relationship cannot be determined
    D) x ≤ y
    Explanation:

    5x2 + 17x – 12 = 0
    5x2 + 20x – 3x – 12 = 0
    Gives x = -4, 3/5
    5y2 – 18y + 9 = 0
    5y2 – 15y – 3y + 9 = 0
    Gives y = 3/5, 3
    Put on number line
    -4          3/5               3

  2. 3x2 + 14x + 8 = 0, 3y2 – 4y – 4 = 0
    A) x > y
    B) x < y
    C) x ≥ y
    D) x ≤ y
    E) x = y or relationship cannot be determined
    D) x ≤ y
    Explanation:

    3x2 + 14x + 8 = 0
    3x2 + 12x + 2x + 8 = 0
    Gives x = -4, -2/3
    3y2 – 4y – 4 = 0
    3y2 – 6y + 2y – 4 = 0
    Gives y = -2/3, 2
    Put on number line
    -4       -2/3         2

  3. x = √1849, y2 = 1156
    A) x > y
    B) x < y
    C) x ≥ y
    D) x ≤ y
    E) x = y or relationship cannot be determined
    A) x > y
    Explanation:

    x = √1849
    Gives, x = 43
    y2 = 1156
    Gives y = -34, 34
    Put on number line
    -34          34              43

  4. 4x + 5y = 75, 5x + 4y = 69
    A) x > y
    B) x < y
    C) x ≥ y
    D) x ≤ y
    E) x = y or relationship cannot be determined
    B) x < y
    Explanation:

    Multiply first equation by 4 and second by 5 and subtract
    16x + 20y = 300, 25x + 20y = 345
    Subtract
    -9x = -45
    Gives x = 5
    Put x = 5 in one of the given equations, and find y
    4(5) + 5y = 75
    Gives y = 11
    Put on number line
    5      11

  5. 6x2 – 5x – 6 = 0, 3y2 – 7y – 6 = 0
    A) x > y
    B) x < y
    C) x ≥ y
    D) x ≤ y
    E) x = y or relationship cannot be determined
    E) x = y or relationship cannot be determined
    Explanation:

    6x2 – 5x – 6 = 0
    6x2 – 9x + 4x – 6 = 0
    Gives, x = -2/3, 3/2
    3y2 – 7y – 6 = 0
    3y2 – 9y + 2y – 6 = 0
    Gives, y = -2/3, 3
    Put on number line
    -2/3           3/2            3
    When x = -2/3, x ≤ y
    When x = 3/2, x > y(-2/3) and also x < y(3)
    No so relationship.

DIRECTIONS (6 – 10) : These questions are to be answered on the basis of the pie chart given below showing how a person’s monthly salary is distributed over different expense heads.main_day18

  1. For a person, whose monthly salary is Rs 6,000, how many items are there on which he has to spend more than Rs 1,000 per month ?
    A) None
    B) 1
    C) 2
    D) 3
    E) 4
    C) 2
    Explanation:

    Shortcut-
    (x/100)*6000 = 1000, gives x = 16.67%
    So the ones having more expense % than 16.67% which is house rent and savings

  2. The annual saving for such a person will be approximately:
    A) Rs 15050
    B) Rs 16560
    C) Rs 15500
    D) Rs 16500
    E) None of these
    B) Rs 16560
    Explanation:

    Savings over month = (23/100)*6000 = 1380
    So annually = 1380*12 = 16560

  3. The monthly salary for a person who follows the same expense pattern, but has a petrol expense of Rs 500 per month is
    A) Rs 2500
    B) Rs 3500
    C) Rs 5000
    D) Rs 6500
    E) Rs 6600
    C) Rs 5000
    Explanation:

    (10/100)*x = 500

  4. If the monthly salary of a person is Rs 12,000, then approximately by how much % is his expenses on entertainment more than on clothes?
    A) 96%
    B) 114%
    C) 120%
    D) 83%
    E) None of these
    B) 114%
    Explanation:

    Exp. on enter. = (15/100)*12,000 = 1800
    Exp. on clothes = (7/100)*12,000 = 840
    Required % = (1800-840)/840 * 100

  5. The angle made at the centre of the pie chart by the sector representing the expense on food is :
    A) 30o
    B) 45o
    C) 54o
    D) 75o
    E) 90o
    C) 54o
    Explanation:

    (15/100)*360 = 54
