2
(A) (10, 20/3)
(B) (10, 20)

Ans. (C)
1
Sol. log100 | x + y |= , log10 y − log10 | x |= log100 4 = log10 2
2
y
| x + y |= 10 and =2
|x|
 x + y = 10 and y = 2 | x |
From these two, x+2|x |= ±10
Now when x > 0, x+2x = ±10 ⇒ x = 10/3 ⇒ y = 20/3
and when x< 0, x − 2x = ±10 ⇒ x = −10 ⇒ y = 20
Hence, the solutions are (−10, 20) and (10/3, 20/3)

25. If x satisfies the inequality log ( x +3) ( x 2 − x )  1 , then number of integral values of x
Ans. 0

Sol. log ( x +3) ( x 2 − x )  1

For the inequality to be defined,
x2 – x > 0 and x + 3 > 0
⇒ x(x − 1) > 0 and x > − 3
⇒ x ∈(−∞, 0) ∪ (1, ∞) and x ∈(−3, ∞)
∴ x ∈(−3, 0) ∪ (1, ∞)
Case 1: When x + 3 > 1 i.e., x ∈(−2, 0) ∪ (1, ∞)
x2 – x < x + 3 ⇒ x2 − 2x – 3 < 0
⇒ (x − 3)(x + 1) < 0
⇒ x ∈(−1, 3)
∴ x ∈(−1, 0) ∪ (1, 3) ⋯(1)
Case 2: When 0 < x + 3 < 1 i.e., x ∈(−3, −2)
x2 – x > x + 3
⇒ x2 − 2x – 3 > 0 ⇒ (x − 3)(x + 1) > 0
⇒ x ∈(−∞, −1) ∪ (3, ∞)
∴ x ∈(−3, −2) ⋯(2)
Hence, from (1) and (2),
X ∈(−3, −2) ∪ (−1, 0) ∪ (1, 3)

team and 29 are in the football team. Among them, 14 play hockey and cricket, 15 play hockey and
foot ball, and 12 play foot ball and cricket. Eight play all the three games. The total number of
members in the three athletic teams is

n(H  C) = 14, n(H  F) = 15
n(F  C) = 12, n(F  C  H) = 8
Total number of players = n(C  H  F) = 43
n ( C  H  F ) = n ( C ) + n ( H ) + n ( F ) − n ( C  H ) − n ( H  F ) − n ( F  C ) + n (C  H  F )

4% buy A and C, and 2% buy all the three news papers. Then the number of families which buy
exactly one of A, B, C is
Ans. 5200
Sol. Number of families which buy exactly one of A, B, C

i =1 j =1

and exactly 9 of the Bj 's, then the value of n is

29. In a class of 55 students the numbers of students studying different subjects are 23 in mathematics,
24 in physics, 19 in chemistry, 12 in mathematics and physics, 9 in mathematics and chemistry, 7 in
physics and chemistry and 4 in all the three subjects. the numbers of students who have taken
exactly one subject is
Ans. 22
Sol. Let M,P,C denote the set of students studying Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry respectively.
n(M) = 23, n(P) = 24, n(C) = 19n(M∩P) = 12, n(M∩C) = 9n(P∩C) = 7, n(M∩P∩C) = 4
Now, n(M∩P′∩C′)
n(M∩(P∪C)′)
n(M) – n (M∩(P∪C))
= n(M) − n [(M∩P)∪(M∩C)]
= n(M) − [n(M∩P) + n (M∩C)] + n (M∩P∩C) = 23 − [12 + 9] + 4 = 6
Similarly, n(P∩M′∩C′)
= n(P) − [n(P∩M) + n (P∩C)] + n (M∩P∩C) = 24 − [12 + 7] + 4 = 9
and n(C∩P′∩M′)
= n(C) − [n(C∩P) + n (C∩M)] + n (M∩P∩C) = 19 − [9 + 7] + 4 = 7
Hence, number of students studying exactly one subject = 6 + 9 + 7 = 22
Alternatively, using Venn diagram

Given, a + b + c + d = 23 ⋯(1)
b + c + e + f = 24 ⋯(2)
d + c + f + g = 19 ⋯(3)
b + c = 12, d + c = 9, c + f = 7 and c = 4
∴ b = 8, d = 5, f = 3
From (1), a = 6
From (2), e = 9
 From (3), g = 7
Required number = a + e + g = 22

vertically to a height d/2. Neglecting subsequent motion and air resistance, its velocity v varies
with height h above the ground as

Ans. (A)
Sol. Initial height = +d, v = 0, as time passes ‘h’ decreases and v increases in downward direction (-ve).
After striking the ground ‘v’ reverses (changes sign) and also reduces (because it only rebounds to
height d/2). Also ‘v’ at any instant varies non-linearly with ‘h’

not moving. But B possesses a constant acceleration of 10 ms -2 . After how much time they will be
at a separation of 125 m?
Ans. 5
Sol. For particle A,
uA = 50 ms −1

aA = 0 ms −2

For particle B
uB = 0

aB = 10 ms −2
So, initial velocity of A w.r.t. B
uAB = uA − uB = 50 ms −1
and acceleration of A w.r.t. B
aAB = aA − aB = −10 ms −2
The distance between A and B after time t is given by

sAB = uAB t + a t2

Let North and East directions by positive y - axis and x - axis respectively.
Therefore, aBA = acceleration of car B with respect to car A

Here, aB = acceleration of B = 4ˆj m / s2

Let v0 be the stream velocity and v′ the velocity of motorboat with respect to water. The motorboat
reached point B while going downstream with velocity (v0+v′) and then returned with velocity
(v′−v0) and passed the raft at point C. Let t be the time for the raft (which flows with stream with
velocity v0) to move from point A to C, during which the motorboat moves from A to B and then
from B to C. Therefore

80. There are two isotopes of an element with average atomic mass 𝑧. Heavier one has atomic mass
𝑧 + 2 and lighter one has z−1, the abundance of lighter one is
(A) 66.6%
(B) 69.7%
(C) 6.67%
(D) 33.3%
Ans. (A)
Sol. Let % abundancy of Heavier Isotope = a
% abundancy of lighter Isotope = (100 - a)
Average atomic mass = z
 Avg. atomic mass
 =
( %abundancy  atomic mass of Isotope )
100
By using above formula
Percentage abundancy of lighter isotope = (100 - a) = 66.67%
