 Question 1
PQRS is a square. SR is a tangent (at point 5) to the circle with centre O and TR= OS. Then, the ratio of area of the circle to the area of the square is:
 A Π/3 B 11/7 C 3/ Π D 7/11
Question 1 Explanation:
$\displaystyle \begin{array}{l}Let\text{ }OT=\text{ }x\text{ }Thus\text{ }OR=\text{ }2x\text{ }and\text{ }OS\text{ }=\text{ }x.\\The\,\,side\,\,of\,\,the\,\,square=\sqrt{{{\left( 2x \right)}^{2}}-{{x}^{2}}}=\sqrt{3x}units.\\The~area~of~the~square=3{{x}^{2}}~and~the~area~of~the~circle=\pi {{x}^{2}}\\The\text{ }ratio\text{ }of\text{ }the\text{ }circle\text{ }to\text{ }square\text{ }is\,\pi :3\\Correct\text{ }option\text{ }is\text{ }\left( a \right)\end{array}$
 Question 2
The adjoining figures show a set of concentric squares. If the diagonal of the innermost square is 2 units, and if the distance between the corresponding comers of any two successive squares is 1 unit, find the difference between the areas of the eight and the seventh squares, counting from the innermost square.
 A 10√2 B 30 C 35√2 D None
Question 2 Explanation:
Since the diagonal of the inner most square is 2 cm , the diagonal will increase be 2 cm for every square .
The diameter of the 7th square is 14 cm and that of the 8th square is 16 cm.
The difference in the area is ½ (162-142) = ½ x 60 = 30 cm2
 Question 3
A cylinder is filled to 4/5th of volume. It is, then tilted so that the level of water coincides with one edge of its bottom and top edge of the opposite side. In the process, 30 cc of the water is spilled. What is the volume of the cylinder?
 A 75 cc B 96 cc C Data insufficient D 100 cc
Question 3 Explanation:
If we take the cylinder to be completely filled,
when the water level coincides with the top edge of the opposite side ,
half of the volume spills. Thus
4/5 V – 30 = ½ V
V = 100 c.c
 Question 4
There is a circle of radius 1 cm. Each member of sequence of regular polygons S1 (n)= 4, 5, 6….., Where n is the number of sides of the polygon, is circumscribing the circle; and member of the sequence of regular polygons S2 (n)= 4, 5, 6, ……where n is the number of sides of the polygon, in inscribed in the circle. Let L1 (n) and L2 (n)= 4, 5, 6, …..Where n is the number of sides of the polygon, in inscribed in the circle. Let L1 (n) and L2 (n) denote the perimeters of the corresponding polygons of S1 (n) and S2 (n), then
$\displaystyle \frac{\left\{ {{L}_{1}}\left( 13 \right)+2\pi \right\}}{{{L}_{2}}\left( 17 \right)}$
 A Greater than Π/4 and less than 1 B Greater than 1 and less than 2 C Greater than 2 D Less than Π/4
Question 4 Explanation:
Since the perimeter of a polygon inside a circle is less than that of the circle and vice versa,
we can conclude that  L1(13)>2Π and that of L2<2Π
L1(13)+2Π>4Π
Thus {L1(13)+2Π}/L2(17) = 2
Correct option is (c)
 Question 5
ABCD is a rhombus with the diagonals AC and BD intersecting at the origin on the (x-y) plane. The equation of the straight line AD x+y=1 is . What is the equation of BC?
 A $\displaystyle x+y=-1$ B $\displaystyle x-y=-1$ C $\displaystyle x+y=1$ D None of these
Question 5 Explanation:
Since BC || AD, the equation of BC is x+y=k where k≠1
Therefore,
only correct answer possible is (a)
Since no specific distances are mentioned and (a) is a probable answer (d) is rejected.
