Answers and Solution:

1.(c) 738A6A,will be divisible by 11,if
(A+A+3) - (6+8+7) = 0
2A + 3 - 21 = 0
2A = 18 => A = 9

2.(C)
3.(c) 3011 X (3011+1)
(3011)^3 + 3011
So By subtract 3011, it will be a perfect square

4.(a)
(2M + 5w)'s 1day work = 1/12 ------(1)
(5M + 2w)'s 1day work = 1/9 ------(2)
By solving eqn.(1) and (2)
1M's 1 day work = 1/54
and 1w's 1 day work = 1/108
so 3w's 1 day work = 3/108 = 1/36
so 3 w will do the work in 36 days.

5.(a)
6.(c)
7.(c)
Let the required numbers of red marbles be x.
According to equation ,
(10+x)/30 = 60/40
400 + 40x = 1800
40x = 1400
x = 1400/40 => 35

8.(b)
9.(b)
10.(c)
Area of square = 200sq.m.
so side of square = √200 = 10√2 mt.
Diagonal of square = 10√2 X √2 = 20m.
Diagonal of new square = 20√2 mt.
so side of new square = 20√2/√2 = 20 mt.
Area of new square = (20)^2 = 400 sq.m
