(c) 45.25 km/h (d) 53.33 km/h sinθ + b cosθ.
Ans. (d) : Given that, the average speed of car = 40 (a) a 2 + b 2 + c 2 (b) ± a 2 + b 2 - c2
km/h
Average speed of car Q = 50 km/h (c) ± a 2 + c 2 - b 2 (d) b 2 + c 2 - a 2
And average speed of car R = 60 km/h Ans. (b) : Given that– a cos θ – b sin θ = c2
Total distance On squaring both sides
∵ Avg. speed =
( a cos θ – b sin θ ) = c2

Total Time
Distance covered by P in 1 hr = 40 km/h a 2 cos 2 θ + b 2 sin 2 θ – 2absinθ × cosθ = c2
Distance covered by Q in 2 hr = 2 × 50 = 100 km/h
Distance covered by R in 3 hr = 3 × 60 = 180 km/h ( ) ( )
a 2 1 – sin 2θ + b 2 1 – cos 2θ – 2absinθ × cosθ = c 2

∴ Average speed =

= (15000+120000+100000+375000)×60
= 610000×60
= `36600000
actual salary expenses = `610000×80
= `48800000
increase = 48800000 - 36600000
= `12200000
Estimated expenses during painting

(a) 4000 (b) 40 (a) 5 (b) 6
(c) 400 (d) 3600 (c) 7 (d) 3
Ans. (a) : 3125 of 120% – ? of 90% = 150 Ans. (b) : Given
5X1 + 6Y7 + 3Z3 = 1471
120 90
3125 × = 150 + ?× For the highest value of X we will take the lowest value
100 100 of Y and Z.
3125 ×120 = 15000+?×90 So take Y = Z = 0
?×90 = 375000 – 15000 5X1 + 607 + 303 = 1471
? × 90 = 360000 5X1= 1471 – 910 = 561
360000 Hence X = 6
?= = 4000 So maximum possible value of X = 6
90
So ? = 4000 69. Which one of the following software
