b) if x ≥ y
c) if x < y
d) if x ≤ y
e) if x = y or the relationship cannot be established

1.I. (2)^5 + (11)^3/6 = x^3
II. 4y^3 = – (589 ÷ 4) + 5y^3

1). I. [(2)^5 + (11)^3]/6 = x^3
(32 + 1331)/6 = x^3
1363/6 = x^3
x^3 = 227.167
x = 6.10
II. 4y^3 = - 589/4 + 5y^3
589/4 = 5y^3 – 4y^3
Y^3 = 147.25
Y = 5.28
x > y.
Answer: A

2.I. 12x^2 + 11x + 12 = 10x^2 + 22x
II. 13y^2 – 18y + 3 = 9y^2 – 10y

2).I. 12x^2 + 11x + 12 = 10x^2 + 22x
2x^2 – 11x + 12 = 0
2x^2 – 8x – 3x + 12 = 0
(x – 4) (2x – 3) = 0
x = 4, 3/2
II. 13y^2 – 18y + 3 = 9y^2 – 10y
4y^2 – 8y + 3 = 0
4y^2 – 6y – 2y + 3 = 0
(2y – 3) (2y – 1) = 0
y = 3/2 , 1/2
x ≥ y
Answer: B

3.I. √1225x + √4900 = 0
II. (81)^1/4 y + (343)^1/3 = 0

3).35x + 70 = 0
x = -70/35
x = - 2
II. (81)^1/4 y + (343)^1/3 = 0
3y + 7 = 0
3y = – 7
y = – 7/3
y = – 2.33
x > y.
Answer: A

4.I. 18/x^2 + 6/x – 12/x^2 = 8/x^2
II. y^3 + 9.68 + 5.64 = 16.95

4).I. 18/x^2 + 6/x + 12/x^2 = 8/x^2
(18 + 6x – 12)/x^2 = 8/x^2
6x + 6 = 8
x = 2/6
x = 0.33
II. y^3 + 9.68 + 5.64 = 16.95
y^3 = 16.95 – 15.32
y^3 = 1.63
y = ∛1.63 = 1.17
x < y
Answer: C

5. I. (x^(7/5) ÷ 9) = 169 ÷ x^(3/5)
II. y^1/4 × y^1/4 × 7 = 273 ÷ y^1/2

5).I. x^(7/5) ÷ 9 = 169 ÷ x^(3/5)
x^(7 / 5) ÷ 9 = 169 ÷ x^(3/5)
x^(10/5) = 9 × 169
x^2 = 9 × 169

x = ± (3 × 13)
x = ±39
II. y^1/4 × y^1/4 × 7
= 273/y^1/ 2
y = 273/7
y = 39
x ≤ y

Directions (Q. 6-10): In each of the following questions, a question is followed by information given in three Statements I, II and III. You have to study the question along with the statements and decide the information given in which of the statement(s) is, necessary to answer the question.
6.What is two digit numbers?
I. The difference between the number and the number formed by interchanging the digit is 27.
II. The difference between two digits is 3.
III. The digit at unit's place is less than that at ten’s place by 3.

6). Let two digit number be 10x + y.
From I, either x – y = 27/9 = 3
Or, y – x = 27/9 = 3
From II, x – y = 3 or y – x = 3
From III, x – y = 3
Hence, Even by (I) + (II) + (III) we cannot obtain the number.
Answer: E

7.In how many days 10 women can finish the work?
I. 10 men finish the work in 6 days.
II. 10 women and 10 men finish the work in 3 3/7 days.
III. If 10 men work 3 days and after that 10 women are deployed to work for men, the rest work is finished in 4 days.

7). From I and II, 10 women can finish the work in 1 day
= 7/24 – 1/6 = (7 – 4)/24 = 1/8
10 women can finish the work in 8 days.
From II and III,
Let 10 men can finish the work in x days and 10 women can finish the same work in y days.
Hence,
1/x + 1/y = 7/24 ...(i)
and from III – II,
3/x + 4/y = 1 ...(ii)
from (i) & (ii)
y = 8 days
Again from I and III
3/6 + 4/y = 1
y = 8 days
Answer: B/span>

8. What is the rate of interest Percent per annum?
I. An amount doubles itself in 5 yr on simple interest
II. Difference between the compound interest and the simple interest earned on a certain amount in two years is 400.
III. Simple interest earned per annum is 2000.

8).From I, If P = 100
A = 200 and SI = 200 – 100 = 100
Rate = SI × 100/(P × T)
= 100 × 100/(100 × 5)
= 20%
From II and III, Rate
= 400 × 100/2000 × 1
= 20%
Hence, either I alone or II + III will be sufficient.
Answer: E

9.What is the present age of Rakesh?
I. The present age of Rakesh is half of his father's age.
II. After five years the ratio of ages of Rakesh and his father is 6 : 11.
III. Rakesh is younger to his brother by five years.

9).From I, Let present age of Rakesh be x yr and age of his father be 2x yr.
From I and II,
(x + 5)/(2x + 5) = 6/11
12x + 30 = 11x + 55.
x = 25 yr
From I and II, age of Rakesh = 25 yrs.
Hence, only from I & II, age of Rakesh and his father can be obtained.
Answer: A

10.What is the cost of flooring the rectangular hall?
I. Length and the breadth of the hall are in the ratio of 3 : 2
II. Length of the hall is 48 m and cost of flooring is 850 per sq m.
III. Perimeter of the hall is 160 m and cost of flooring is 850 per sq m.

10).From I and II.
Length = 3x = 48 m
x = 16
Breadth = 2x = 32 m
Hence, Area of floor = 48 × 32
Cost of flooring = 48 × 32 × 850 = Rs. 1305600
From I and III, 2(l + b) = 160
2(3x + 2x) = 160
10x = 160
x = 16
Length = 3 × 16 = 48 m
Breadth = 2 × 16 = 32 m
Cost of flooring = (48 × 32) × 850 = 1305600
Similarly, from II and III, we can find I = 48 m and b = 32 m and Total cost of flooring = 1305600
Answer: E
