(1) 51
(2) 68
(3) 17
(4) 69

Correct Answer: (4) 69

Solution:

(4) p ⇒ × | q ⇒ +
r ⇒ + | s ⇒ −

17 p 16 r 4 s 8 q 9 = ?

55. The sum of the ages of a father and his son is 45 years. Five years ago, the product of their ages (in years) was 124. Find the present age of son.

(1) 9 years
(2) 10 years
(3) 15 years
(4) 5 years

Correct Answer: (1) 9 years

Solution:(1) Son’s present age = x years
∴ Father’s age = (45 − x) years
According to the question.
5 years ago,
(x − 5) (40 − x) = 124
⇒ (x − 5) (40 − x) = 4 × 31
⇒ x = 9 = Son’s age

56. If 5 is the zero of the polynomial f(x) = ax² + (2a + 1)x – 5, then value of a is

(1) 2/3
(2) -4/5
(3) 0
(4) -35

Correct Answer: (3) 0

Solution:(3) The root of
f(x) = ax² + (2a + 1) x − 5 is 5.
∴ f(5) = 0
⇒ a (5)² + (2a + 1) 5 − 5 = 0
⇒ 25a + 10a + 5 − 5 = 0
⇒ 35a = 0
⇒ a = 0
