Tick $(\checkmark)$ the correct answer: If $\frac{\text{n}}{2}-\frac{3\text{n}}{4}+\frac{5\text{n}}{6}=21,$ then $​​\text{n}=?$
  • A
    $30$
  • B
    $42$
  • $36$
  • D
    $28$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$36$
$\frac{\text{n}}{2}-\frac{\text{3n}}{4}+\frac{5\text{n}}{6}=21$
$\Rightarrow\frac{ 6\text{n} - 9\text{n} + 10\text{n}}{12}= 21$
$\Rightarrow7\text{n}=21\times12$
$\Rightarrow7\text{n}=252$
$\Rightarrow\text{n}=\frac{252}{7}$
$\text{n}=36$

Tick $(\checkmark)$ the correct answer: If $5\text{x}+\frac{7}{1}=\frac{3}{2}\text{x}-14,$ then $\text{x} = ?$
  • A
    $5$
  • $-5$
  • C
    $6$
  • D
    $-6$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$-5$
$\text{5x}+\frac{7}{2}=\frac{3}{2}\text{x}-14$
$\Rightarrow\frac{10\text{x}+7}{2}=\frac{3\text{x}-28}{2}$
$\Rightarrow10\text{x}+7=3\text{x}-28$
$\Rightarrow10\text{x}-3\text{x}=-28-7$
$\Rightarrow7\text{x}=-35$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=\frac{-35}{7}=-5$

MCQ 31 Mark
Tick $(\checkmark)$ the correct answer: Sum of three consecutive integers is $51.$ The middle one is:
  • A
    $14$
  • B
    $15$
  • C
    $16$
  • $17$
Answer
Correct option: D.
$17$
Let the three consecutive integers be $x, x + 1$ and $x + 2.$
Equation $= \text{x} + \text{x} + 1 + \text{x} + 2 = 51$
$\Rightarrow3\text{x} + 3 = 51$
$\Rightarrow3\text{x} = 51 - 3$
$\Rightarrow3\text{x} = 48$
$\Rightarrow\text{x} = \frac{48}{3}= 16$
Middle integer $= \text{x}+1 = 16 + 1 = 17$

MCQ 41 Mark
Tick $(\checkmark)$ the correct answer: The base of an isosceles triangle is $6\ cm$ and its perimeter is $16\ cm.$ Length of each of the equal sides is:
  • A
    $4\ cm$
  • $5\ cm$
  • C
    $3\ cm$
  • D
    $6\ cm$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$5\ cm$
Let the equal side of the isosceles triangle be $x.$
Then, the perimeter of the triangle would be $(x + x + 6).$
$\therefore2\text{x} + 6 = 16 $
$\Rightarrow2\text{x} = 16 - 6$
$\Rightarrow2\text{x} = 10$
$\Rightarrow\text{x} = \frac{10}{2}= 5$
$\therefore$ Length of each equal side $= 5\ cm$

MCQ 51 Mark
Tick $(\checkmark)$ the correct answer: Four$-$fifths of a number is greater than three$-$fourths of the number by $4.$ The number is:
  • A
    $12$
  • B
    $64$
  • $80$
  • D
    $102$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$80$
Let the number be $x.$
$\therefore\frac{4}{5}\text{x}=\frac{3}{4}\text{x}+4$
$\Rightarrow\frac{4}{5}\text{x}=\frac{3\text{x}+16}{4}$
$\Rightarrow16\text{x} = 15\text{x} + 80$
$\Rightarrow16\text{x} - 15\text{x} = 80$
$\Rightarrow \text{x} = 80$

    $6$
  • $8$
  • D
    $12$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$8$
$\frac{\text{4x}+8}{2\text{5x}+8}=\frac{5}{6}$
$\Rightarrow6(\text{4x}+8​​)=5(5\text{x}+8)$
$\Rightarrow24\text{x}+48=25\text{x}+40$
$\Rightarrow24\text{x}-25\text{x}=-48\text{x}+40$
$\Rightarrow-\text{x}=-8$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=8$

MCQ 71 Mark
Tick $(\checkmark)$ the correct answer: Number of boys and girls in a class are in the ratio $7 : 5.$ The number of boys is $8$ more than the number of girls. The total class strength is:
  • A
    $56$
  • B
    $52$
  • $48$
  • D
    $36$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$48$
Let the number of boys in the class be $x.$
Then, the number of girls will be $(x - 8).$
The equation becomes:
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{x}}{\text{x}-8}=\frac{7}{5}$
$\Rightarrow5\text{x} = 7\text{x} - 56$
$\Rightarrow5\text{x} -7\text{x} = -56$
$\Rightarrow -2\text{x} = -56$
$\Rightarrow \text{x} = \frac{-56} {-2} = 28$
Therefore, the number of boys is $28.$
Number of girls $= ( \text{x}- 8) = 28 -8 =20$
Total strength of the class $= 28 + 20 = 48$

MCQ 81 Mark
Tick $(\checkmark)$ the correct answer: The sum of two numbers is $95.$ If one exceeds the other by $15,$ then the smaller of the two is:
  • $40$
  • B
    $35$
  • C
    $45$
  • D
    $55$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$40$
Let the numbers be $x$ and $x + 15.$
$\therefore x + x + 15 = 95$
$\Rightarrow 2x + 15 = 95$
$\Rightarrow 2x = 95 - 15$
$\Rightarrow 2x = 80$
$\Rightarrow x = 40$
The smaller number is $40.$

Tick $(\checkmark)$ the correct answer: If $2\text{y}+\frac{5}{3}=\frac{26}{3}-\text{y},$ then $​​\text{y}=?$
  • A
    $1$
  • B
    $\frac{2}{3}$
  • C
    $\frac{6}{5}$
  • $\frac{7}{3}$
Answer
Correct option: D.
$\frac{7}{3}$
$2\text{y}+\frac{5}{3}=\frac{26}{3}-\text{y}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{6\text{y}+5}{3}=\frac{26-3\text{y}}{3}$
$\Rightarrow6\text{y}+5=26-3\text{y}$
$\Rightarrow6\text{y}+3\text{y}=26-5$
$\Rightarrow9\text{y}=21$
$\Rightarrow\text{y}=\frac{21}{9}=\frac{7}{3}$

Tick $(\checkmark)$ the correct answer: If $\frac{6\text{x}+1}{3}=\frac{\text{x}-3}{6}$ then $​​\text{x}=?$
  • A
    $1$
  • $-1$
  • C
    $3$
  • D
    $-3$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$-1$
$\Rightarrow\frac{6\text{x} +1 }{3} = \frac{\text{x}{ - 3}}{{6}}$

Tick $(\checkmark)$ the correct answer: The ages of $A$ and $B$ are in the ratio $5 : 7.$ Four years from now the ratio of their ages will be $3 : 4.$ The present age of $B$ is:
  • A
    $20$ years
  • $28$ years
  • C
    $15$ years
  • D
    $21$ years
Answer
Correct option: B.
$28$ years
Let the number be $x.$
Let $x $ be the common multiple of the ages of $A$ and $B.$
Then. the ages of $A$ and $B$ would be $5x$ and $7x,$ respectively.
$\therefore\frac{5\text{x}+4}{7\text{x}-4}=\frac{3}{4}$
$\Rightarrow4( 5\text{x} +4 ) = 3 ( 7\text{x} + 4 )$
$\Rightarrow20\text{x} + 16 = 21\text{x} + 12$
$\Rightarrow16 - 12 = 21\text{x} - 20\text{x}$
$\Rightarrow4 = \text{x}$
$\Rightarrow\text{x} = 4 $
$\therefore$ Age of $\text{B} = 7(\text{x}) = 7\times4 $
$= 28 \text{ years}$
