    Easy Questions

  1. The average of two numbers A and B is D. The average of D and C is 2 more than the average of A, B & C. What is the difference between C and the average of A & B?

  2. Medium Questions

  3. Find the value of ‘y’.

  4. In a school, there are 3 classes A, B & C. If 10 students are shifted from B to A, then A will have th of the number of students that are present in C. If 10 students are shifted from C to A, then B will have as many students as A and C put together. If 20 students are shifted from B to C, then C will have thrice as many students as A. What is the average of the number of students in A, B & C?

  5. If the roots of the equation x2 – bx + c = 0 be two consecutive integers, then b2 – 4c equals?

  6. The equation x2 – 8x + 12 = 0 has roots p and q. The equation x2 + ax + b = 0 has roots that are p2 + q2 and 2pq. What is the sum of a and b?

  1. The equation x2 – 12x + q = 0 has roots a and b. If a3 + b3 = 100. Find q.

  2. x2 – 12x + k = 0 has real roots. If |k| < 15, how many integer values can ‘k’ take?

  3. Tough Questions

  4. a1x + b1y = c1; a2x + b2y = c2. If the above system of equations have a unique solution, which of the following could be true?
    i) a1b2 = a2b1
    ii) c1b2 = c2b2
    iii) a2 = 0, a1 x b1 x b2 not equal to 0.

  5. If x2 + 4ax + 10 – 3a > 0 for all real value of x, then what is the range of values ‘a’ can take?
