5. Correct Answer: D
The ratio of the areas of two similar triangles is equal to the ratio of the squares of their
corresponding sides.
The ratio of the corresponding sides is 2 : 3.
Thus, the ratio of the areas of the similar triangles is 4 : 9.

In ABC, mB = 40 and mC = 60
The sum of all angles of a triangle is 180.
Thus,
mA +mB + mC = 180
mA + 40 + 60 = 180
mA = 80
According to the Converse of Angle Bisector Theorem, AD is the bisector of angle A.
Thus,

If p(x) is divided by (x + a), then the remainder is p(a).
Thus, when p(x) = x2 2x + 7 is divided by (x + 4), then the remainder is p(4).

A function f: AB is called a one-one and onto or a bijective function if f is both a oneone and an onto function. Thus, f: AB is one-one and onto if f maps distinct elements
of A into distinct images in B and every element in B is an image of some element in A.
If f: AB is a bijective function and if A and B are finite sets, then the cardinalities of A
and B are same.
Therefore, the number of elements in B is also 10.

For a matrix A, B is called the additive inverse of A if B + A = A + B =0.
Since A + (A) = (A) + A = 0, A is the additive inverse of A.
The additive inverse of a matrix is the negative matrix. Thus, the additive inverse of

The number of columns in the matrix is 3.
The order of a matrix with m rows and n columns is said to be m n.
Thus, the order of this matrix is 3 3.
22. Consider the given expressions,
(a 1)5(a + 3)2, (a 2)2(a 1)3(a + 3)4
The common factor for the above expressions is: (a 1)3(a + 3)2.
Thus, G.C.D. is (a 1)3(a + 3)2.
23. The area of the triangle whose vertices are x1 , y1 , x2 , y2 and x3 , y3 is:

31. Let M, P and C denote the set of students who got distinction in Mathematics, Physics
and Chemistry respectively.
Then n(M) = 48, n(P) = 25, n(C ) = 30
n(M P C) = 68 and n(M P C) = 5
Therefore,
n(M P C)=n(M) + n(P) + n(C) n(M P) n(M C) n(P C) + n(M PC)
68 = 48 + 25 + 30 n(M P) n(M C) n(P C) + 5
n(M P) + n(M C) + n(P C) = 108 68 = 40
Now consider the following Venn diagram:
Here,
a denotes the number of students who got distinction in
Mathematics and Physics only.
b denotes the number of students who got distinction in
Mathematics and Chemistry only.
c denotes the number of students who got distinction in
Physics and Chemistry only.
d denotes the number of students who got distinctions in all the three subjects.
Thus, d = n(M P C) = 5
And
a + d + b +d + c + d = 40
Therefore, a + b + c = 25.

43. Consider the following figure.

Let ABCD be a parallelogram circumscribing the circle.
Let AB be the tangent to the circle at P.
Let BC be the tangent to the circle at Q.
Let CD be the tangent to the circle at R.
Let DA be the tangent to the circle at S.
We know that the lengths of the two tangents drawn from an
exterior point to a point to a circle are equal.
Thus, we have, AP = AS, BP = BQ, CR = CQ and DR = DS.
Now, adding all of the above four equations, we have,
AP + BP + CR + DR = AS + BQ + CQ + DS
AP + BP + CR + DR = (BQ + CQ) + (AS + DS)
(AP + BP) + (CR + DR) = (BQ + CQ) + (AS + DS)
AB + CD= BC + AD
(1)
We have AB = CD and BC = AD
[Since opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal]
Thus, equation (1) becomes,
2AB = 2BC
AB = BC
AB = BC = CD = AD
ABCD is rhombus.

44. Let

g x 3x 2 13x 10
Here, degree of f(x) > degree of g(x).
Thus, the dividend is 3x3 + 18x2 + 33x + 18 and the divisor is 3x2 + 13x + 10.

Here, remainder is not 0. Thus, repeat the process of division with the remainder as the
divisor.
Thus, the dividend is 3x3 + 18x2 + 33x + 18 and the divisor is 4x/3 + 4/3.
The two original expressions have no simple factors. Thus their G.C.D. can have none.
Hence, remove the simple factor 4/3 from the divisor.
Thus, the dividend is 3x3 + 18x2 + 33x + 18 and the divisor is x + 1.
Perform division:
