MCQ 11 Mark
In a city 20 percent of the population travels by car, 50 percent travels by bus and 10 percent travels by both car and bus. Then persons travelling by a car or bus is
  • 60 percent
  • B
    80 percent
  • C
    70 percent
  • D
    40 percent
Answer
Correct option: A.
60 percent
(a) 60 percent
Explanation: Let A denote the set of persons traveling by car, B denotes the set of persons traveling by bus, then
$n(A)=20, n(B)=50, n(A \cap B)=10$
$\therefore \mathrm{n}(\mathrm{A} \cup \mathrm{B})=\mathrm{n}(\mathrm{A})+\mathrm{n}(\mathrm{B})-\mathrm{n}(\mathrm{A} \cap \mathrm{B})$
$=20+50-10=60$

MCQ 31 Mark
A man borrows ₹ 21000 at $10 \%$ per annum compound interest. How much he has to pay to the end of each year to clear his debt in two years?
  • ₹ 12100
  • B
    ₹ 12000
  • C
    ₹ 10500
  • D
    ₹ 11000
Answer
Correct option: A.
₹ 12100
(a) ₹ 12100
Explanation: Let him pay ₹ R at the end of each year.
$\therefore 21000=R\left[\frac{100}{100+10}+\left(\frac{100}{100+10}\right)^{2}\right]$
$\Rightarrow 21000=\mathrm{R}\left[\frac{100}{110}+\left(\frac{100}{110}\right)^{2}\right]=\mathrm{R}\left[\frac{10}{11}+\frac{100}{121}\right]=\mathrm{R}\left[\frac{210}{121}\right]$.
$\therefore \mathrm{R}=\frac{21000 \times 121}{210}=$ ₹ $12100$.

MCQ 41 Mark
Suppose A and B are two events. Event B has occurred and it is known that $\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{B})<1$. What is $\mathrm{P}\left(\mathrm{A} / \mathrm{B}^{\prime}\right)$ equal to?
  • A
    $\frac{P(A)-P(B)}{1-P(B)}$
  • B
    $\frac{P(A)+P\left(B^{\prime}\right)}{1-P(B)}$
  • $\frac{P(A)-P(A B)}{1-P(B)}$
  • D
    $\frac{P(A)+P\left(A B^{\prime}\right)}{1-P(B)}$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$\frac{P(A)-P(A B)}{1-P(B)}$
(c) $\frac{P(A)-P(A B)}{1-P(B)}$
Explanation: $\mathrm{P}\left(\mathrm{A} / \mathrm{B}^{\prime}\right)=\frac{P\left(A \cap B^{\prime}\right)}{P\left(B^{\prime}\right)}$
$=\frac{P(A)-P(A \cap B)}{1-P(B)}=\frac{P(A)-P(A B)}{1-P(B)}$

MCQ 71 Mark
In what time will a sum of ₹ 1562.50 produce ₹ $195.10$ at $4 \%$ per annum compound interest?
  • A
    $1 \frac{1}{2}$ years
  • 3 years
  • C
    $2 \frac{1}{2}$ years
  • D
    2 years
Answer
Correct option: B.
3 years
(b) 3 years
Explanation: Let the time required be n, then
$1562.50\left(1+\frac{4}{100}\right)^{n}-1562.50=195.10$
$\Rightarrow\left(\frac{26}{25}\right)^{n}=\frac{1562.50+195.10}{1562.50}=\frac{1757.60}{1562.50}=\left(\frac{26}{25}\right)^{3}$
$\Rightarrow \mathrm{n}=3$.

MCQ 91 Mark
The mean deviation of the numbers $3,4,5,6,7$ from the mean is
  • A
    25
  • B
    0
  • 1.2
  • D
    5
Answer
Correct option: C.
1.2
(c) 1.2
Explanation: Mean $(X)=\frac{3+4+5+6+7}{5}$
$=\frac{25}{5}=5$
Taking the absolute value of deviation of each term from the mean, we get:
$\mathrm{MD}=\frac{|(3-5)|+|(4-5)|+|(5-5)|+|(6-5)|+|(7-5)|}{5}$
$=\frac{2+1+0+1+2}{5}$
$=\frac{6}{5}$
$=1.2$

MCQ 111 Mark
The equations of the lines through $(-1,-1)$ and making angles of $45^{\circ}$ with the line $x+y=0$ are
  • A
    $x-1=0, y-1=0$
  • $x+1=0, y+1=0$
  • C
    $x-1=0, y-x=0$
  • D
    $x+y=0, y+1=0$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$x+1=0, y+1=0$
(b) $\mathrm{x}+1=0, \mathrm{y}+1=0$
Explanation: The lines $\mathrm{x}+1=0$ and $\mathrm{y}+1=0$ are perpendicular to each other.
The slope of the line $\mathrm{x}+\mathrm{y}=0$ is -1
Hence the angle made by this line with respect to X -axis is $45^{\circ}$
In other words, the angle made by this line with $\mathrm{x}+1=0$ is $45^{\circ}$
Clearly the other line with which it can make $45^{\circ}$ is $\mathrm{y}+1=0$

Let $A=\{1,2,3\}, B=\{1,3,5\}$. If relation $R$ from $A$ to $B$ is given by $R=\{(1,3),(2,5),(3,3)\}$. Then, $R^{-1}$ is
  • A
    $\{(1,3),(5,2)\}$
  • $\{(3,3),(3,1),(5,2)\}$
  • C
    $\{(1,3),(2,5),(3,3)\}$
  • D
    $\{(5,2)\}$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$\{(3,3),(3,1),(5,2)\}$
(b) $\{(3,3),(3,1),(5,2)\}$
Explanation: Inverse of a relation is given by interchanging the element's position in each pair.
Ex: Inverse of relation $P=\{(x, y)\}$ is given by $P^{-1}=\{(y, x)\}$.
Therefore, $\mathrm{R}^{-1}=\{(3,1),(5,2),(3,3)\}$.

MCQ 171 Mark
The mean of five numbers is 30. If one number is excluded, their mean becomes 28. The excluded number is:
  • 38
  • B
    30
  • C
    35
  • D
    28
Answer
Correct option: A.
38
(a) 38
Explanation: L et the numbers are $\mathrm{x}_{1}, \mathrm{x}_{2}, \mathrm{x}_{3}, \mathrm{x}$ and $\mathrm{x}_{5}$. Then,
we have, $\frac{x_{1}+x_{2}+x_{3}+x_{4}+x_{5}}{5}=30$
$\Rightarrow \mathrm{x}_{1}+\mathrm{x}_{2}+\mathrm{x}_{3}+\mathrm{x}_{4}+\mathrm{x}_{5}=150 \ldots$ (i)
Now, suppose $\mathrm{X}_{1}$ is excluded, then $\frac{x_{2}+x_{3}+x_{4}+x_{5}}{4}=28$ [given]
$\Rightarrow x_{2}+x_{3}+x_{4}+x_{5}=112 \ldots$ (i)
From Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get $x_{1}=150-112=38$
