Q2:

Progression & Series

Medium

The sum up to 1010 terms of the series 1⋅3+5⋅7+9⋅11+...1 \cdot 3 + 5 \cdot 7 + 9 \cdot 11 + ... is

Q3:

Progression & Series

Medium

It is given that the sequence {xnx_n} satisfies x1=0,xn+1=xn+1+2√(1+xn)x_1 = 0, x_{n+1} = x_n + 1 + 2√(1+x_n) for n=1,2,...n = 1,2,... Then x31x_{31} is _______

Q4:

Permutation & Combination

Easy

There are 5 parallel lines on the plane. On the same plane, there are nn other lines that are perpendicular to the 5 parallel lines. If the number of distinct rectangles formed by these lines is 360, what is the value of nn?

Q5:

Time & Work

Medium

There are two taps, T1 and T2, at the bottom of a water tank, either or both of which may be opened to empty the water tank, each at a constant rate. If T1 is opened keeping T2 closed, the water tank (initially full) becomes empty in half an hour. If both T1 and T2 are kept open, the water tank (initially full) becomes empty in 20 minutes. Then, the time (in minutes) it takes for the water tank (initially full) to become empty if T2 is opened while T1 is closed is

Q6:

Mean, Median & Mode

Medium

A class consists of 30 students. Each of them has registered for 5 courses. Each course instructor conducts an exam out of 200 marks. The average percentage marks of all 30 students across all courses they have registered for, is 80%. Two of them apply for revaluation in a course. If none of their marks reduce, and the average of all 30 students across all courses becomes 80.02%, the maximum possible increase in marks for either of the 2 students is

Q7:

Weights

Easy

What is the minimum number of weights which enable us to weigh any integer number of grams of gold from 1 to 100 on a standard balance with two pans? (Weights can be placed only on the left pan)

Q8:

Straight Lines

Hard

If one of the lines given by the equation 2x2+axy+3y2=02x^2 + axy + 3y^2 = 0 coincides with one of those given by 2x2+bxy−3y2=02x^2 + bxy - 3y^2 = 0 and the other lines represented by them are perpendicular then a2+b2=a^2+b^2 =

Q9:

Functions

Medium

If a function f(a)=max(a,0)f(a) = max (a, 0) then the smallest integer value of xx for which the equation f(x−3)+2f(x+1)=8f(x - 3) + 2f(x + 1) = 8 holds true is _______.

Q10:

Set Theory

Easy

In a class, 60% and 68% of students passed their Physics and Mathematics examinations respectively. Then at least ________ percentage of students passed both their Physics and Mathematics examinations.
