Mock Test Review: 18 flashcards

All 18 flashcards from this kit, free and with no sign-up.

1. In the standard form of a rational number, what is the common factor of numerator and denominator always?

Show the answer

1 (they are co-prime)

2. If 2x, (x + 10), and (3x + 2) are three consecutive terms of an AP, find the value of x.

Show the answer

x = 6 (since 2(x+10) = 2x + 3x + 2 ⇒ 2x + 20 = 5x + 2 ⇒ 18 = 3x ⇒ x = 6)

3. Which operation is not closed for rational numbers?

Show the answer

Division (division by zero is undefined)

4. Which rational number does not have a multiplicative inverse?

Show the answer

0

5. Which operations are not associative for rational numbers?

Show the answer

Subtraction and division

6. In a square fractal pattern, the number of smaller squares follows a GP with first term 1 and common ratio 8. How many squares are in the 5th step?

Show the answer

4096 (1 × 8^4 = 4096)

7. The sum of diameters of two circles is 35 cm and the difference of their circumferences is 22 cm. What is the area of the smaller circle?

Show the answer

154 cm²

8. Evaluate 102² - 98² using a suitable formula.

Show the answer

800 (using a² - b² = (a+b)(a-b) = 200 × 4 = 800)

9. A(-5, 6) and C(9, 1) are opposite vertices of a parallelogram. Diagonals intersect at P(a, b). What is the relation between a and b?

Show the answer

b = a + 1.5 (midpoint of AC is (2, 3.5), so a=2, b=3.5, thus b = a + 1.5)

10. The expression 3/8 + (-5)/7 = -19/56 shows that rational numbers are closed under which operation?

Show the answer

Addition

11. Which term of the AP 5, 15, 25, ... is 130 more than its 31st term?

Show the answer

44th term (31st term = 5 + 30×10 = 305; 305+130=435; 5+(n-1)10=435 ⇒ n=44)

12. Express 1.272727... as a rational number.

Show the answer

14/11

13. If b is the multiplicative inverse of x, what is the multiplicative inverse of a/b?

Show the answer

b/a (since a/b × b/a = 1)

14. Zero (0) is the identity for which operation on rational numbers?

Show the answer

Addition

15. If the sum of three numbers in GP is 38 and their product is 1728, what are the numbers?

Show the answer

8, 12, 18

16. Assertion: If x² + 4x + a = (x+2)², then a = 4. Reason: (a+b)² = a² + 2ab + b². Which option is correct?

Show the answer

Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.

17. In a cricket match, a batsman hits a boundary 5 times out of 45 balls. What is the probability he does not hit a boundary?

Show the answer

8/9 (P(not boundary) = 1 - 5/45 = 40/45 = 8/9)

18. Find x such that the distance between A(x, 2) and B(9, 8) is 10 units.

Show the answer

x = 1 or x = 17
