57.(A) 3 65, 11, 123 is equal to 6 6 6125, 121, 123

So, greatest number = 6 125 = 558.(A) The sum of square of the first n number

n n n

The sum of square of the first 99 numbers

The area of ACD = 45 (45 40) (45 25) (45 25)

= 45 5 20 20

= 300 m2

The area of ABCD = 384 + 300 = 684 m2

61.(A)

Required area = (14)2 – 1 224 7 74 7

= 1200000 × 121100

= 145200064.(C) In ABC

A = 20ºB = 80ºC = 180º – A – B

= 180º – 20º – 80º = 80º= 80º = B

So, AB = AC3 – 2 = 2 + 1

= 365.(D) a(x – a2) – b (x – b2) = 0

ax – a3 – bx + b3 = 0ax – bx = a3 – b3

(a – b) x = (a – b) (a2 + ab + b2) x = a2 + ab + b2

The area of ABCD = AB × BC

Required ratio =AB BC

Total population = 900 × 10018 = 5000

72.(B)

If we have 4 ratio of mixture then alcoholadded = 1If we have 400 ml of mixture then alcoholadded = 100 ml

73.(A) x = 314

1112

x + y + z = 314

74.(A) Ratio of profit = 3 : 2So, ratio of invertment = 3 :2

Total investment of Yash = 2800 × 12So, total investment of Jano

= 2800 × 12 × 2 13 3200 = 7

So, Jano joined after = 12 – 7 = 5 months

75.(C) Volume to be filled = 3r2h

M =2565

76.(D) 96 + 1 = (8 + 1)6 + 1Remainder after divisible by 8 = 1 + 1 = 2

77.(A) CP of 36 = SP of 30

SPCP =

Profit percentage = 630 × 100 = 20%

78. (B) Correct average = 40 – 83 53

100

79. (C) ATQ,

Total number of votes =100

candidate = 75000 × 60

100 = 45000

80. (A) ATQ,

Cost price of a chair =37525 = `15

S.P. of 25 chairs – C.P. of 25 chairs= S.P. of 5 chairs

C.P. of 25 chairs = S.P. of 20 chairs

S.PC.P. =

2520

S.P. =2520 × 15 = ̀ 18.75

81. (B) ATQ,Selling price of 45 lemons = ` 40

Loss percent = 20%

Cost price of 45 lemon =40×100

80= ` 50

New selling price of 45 lemon =50×120

100= ` 60

So,Quantity of lemon to be sold in ` 24
