Navjivan Express from Ahmedabad to Chennai leaves Ahmedabad at 6:30 am and travels at 50km per hour towards Baroda situated 100 kms away. At 7:00 am Howrah - Ahmedabad express leaves Baroda towards Ahmedabad and travels at 40 km per hour. At 7:30 Mr. Shah, the traffic controller at Baroda realises that both the trains are running on the same track. How much time does he have to avert a headon collision between the two trains? 1. 15 minutes 2. 20 minutes 3. 25 minutes 4. 30 minutes 2. There is a circle of radius 1 cm. Each member of a sequence of regular polygons S1(n), n = 4,5,6,... , where n is the number of sides of the polygon, is circumscribing the circle; and each member of the sequence of regular polygons S2(n), n = 4,5,6.... where n is the number of sides of the polygon, is inscribed in the circle. Let L1(n) and L2(n) denote the perimeters of the corresponding polygons of S1(n) and S2(n). Then {L1(13) + 2 } / L2(17) is 1. greater than / 4 and less than 1 2. greater than 1 and less than 2 3. greater than 2 4. less than / 4 3. There is a square field with each side 500 metres long. It has a compound wall along its perimeter. At one of its comers, a triangular area of the field is to be cordoned off by erecting a straight line fence. The compound wall and the fence will form its borders. If the length of the fence is 100 metres, what is the maximum area in square metres that can be cordoned off? 1. 2,500 2. 10,000 3. 5,000 4. 20,000 4. Three runners A, B and C run a race, with runner A finishing 12 meters ahead of runner B and 18 meters ahead of runner C, while runner B finishes 8 meters ahead of runner C. Each runner travels the entire distance at a constant speed. What was the length of the race? (a) 36 meters (b) 48 meters (c) 60 meters (d) 72 meters 5. Consider a triangle. Its longest side has length 20 and another of its sides has length 10. Its area is 80. What is the exact length of its third side? (a) 260 (b) 250 (c) 240 (d) 270 6. A train X departs from station A at 11.00 a.m. for station B, which is 180 km away. Another train Y departs from station B at the same time. Train X travels at an average speed of 70 km/hr and does not stop anywhere until it arrives at station B. Train Y travels at an average speed of 50 km\hr, but has to stop for 15 minutes at station C, which is 60 km away from station B enroute to station A. At what distance from A would they meet? (a) 112 (b) 118 (c) 120 (d) None of these

1. a

2. 1

3. 2a

4. 21/2

8. 10 straight lines, no two of which are parallel and no three of which pass through any common point, are drawn on a plane. The total number of regions (including finite and infinite regions) into which the plane would be divided by the lines is 1. 56 2. 255 3. 1024 4. not unique 9. Four horses are tethered at four corners of a square plot of side 14 metres (m) so that the adjacent horses can reach one another. There is a small circular pond of area 20 m2 at the centre. The area left ungrazed is: 1. 22m2 2. 42m2 3. 84m2 4. 168m2

10. In a triangle ABC, the internal bisector of the angle A meets BC at D. If AB =

4, AC = 3 and A = 600, then length of AD is: 1. 2 \/3 2. 12 \/(3/7) 3. 15 \/(3/8) 4. 6
