(b) 12300
(c) 10520
(d) 11690
(e) 9950

Solution:

S2. Ans.(d)
Sol. Quantity I:
x² – 15x + 56 = 0
x² – 8x – 7x + 56 = 0
x (x – 8) – 7 (x – 8) = 0
(x – 8) (x – 7) = 0
x = 8, 7

Quantity II:
y² – 12y + 35 = 0
y² – 7y – 5y + 35 = 0
y(y – 7 ) –5(y – 7) = 0
(y – 7) (y – 5) = 0
y = 5, 7
So, Quantity I ≥ Quantity II.

S3. Ans.(b)
Sol. Quantity I:
Let speed of boat in still water be ‘x km/hr’ and speed of stream be ‘y km/hr.’
Atq,
182/7 = x + y
x + y = 26 … (i)
And ((182 × 200/13 × 1/100))/7=x-y
x – y = 4 … (ii)
On solving (i) and (ii), we get:
x = 15 km/hr.
So, Quantity II > Quantity I.

S4. Ans.(b)
Sol. Quantity I:
44x² – 79x + 30 = 0
44x² – 55x – 24x + 30 = 0
11x (4x – 5) –6 (4x – 5) = 0
(4x – 5) (11x – 6) = 0
x = 5/4,6/11

Quantity II:
15y² – 59y + 56 = 0
15y² – 35y – 24y + 56 = 0
5y (3y – 7) –8 (3y – 7) = 0
(3y – 7) (5y – 8) = 0
y = 7/3 ,8/5
So, Quantity II > Quantity I.

S5. Ans.(b)
Sol. Quantity I:
Let cost price of the article be Rs. 100x.
So, marked price of the article = 100x × 160/100 = Rs. 160x
And selling price of the article = Rs. 1830
100x × 122/100 = 1830
x = 1830/122
x = 15
So, CP of article = 100x = Rs. 1500
And MP of article = 160x = Rs. 2400
Required difference = (2400 – 1830) – (1830 – 1500)
= 570 – 330 = Rs. 240

Quantity II:
16/100× 2100 = ?
?=336
So, Quantity II > Quantity I.
