91. The alternate vertices of a regular pentagon are joined to form a star having five vertices. The sum of all five vertical angles of this star will be

  • Option : B
  • Explanation : (B) From the given information, we can form the figure as,

    Now, in △ABE, AB = AE (As these are the sides of regular pentagon)
    So, from base angle theorem, we know
    ∠BEA = ∠EBA
    ∠BAE = 1800 (As we know each angle of regular pentagon is 1800.)
    Now, from angle sum property in △ABE,
    ∠BEA + ∠EBA + ∠BAE = 1800,
    So, ∠BEA + ∠BEA + 1800 = 1800,
    2∠BEA = 720
    ∠BEA = 360
    ∠BEA = ∠EBA 360 ....... (i)
    Similarly, in △DEC,
    ∠CED = ∠ECD 360 ....... (ii)
    And in △CDB,
    ∠BDC = ∠DBC = 360 ....... (iii)
    Then,
    ∠DEA = ∠BEA + ∠CEB + ∠CED
    We know, ∠DEA = 1800(Angle of regular pentagon)
    Then, 360 + ∠CEB + 360 = 1080
    ∠CEB = 360
    Similarly, ∠CEB = ∠CAD
    = ∠ADB = ∠ACE
    = ∠DBE = 360
    And sum of all 5 vertical angles of star = 360 + 360 + 360 + 360 + 360 = 1800

92. If 6412 ÷ 415 = 64?, then what will come in place of question mark(?)?

  • Option : C
  • Explanation : (C) 6412 ÷ 415 = 64?
    ⇒ (26)12 ÷ (22)15 = (26)?

    ⇒ (2)42 = (2)6 × ?
    Comparing the power of both side,
    42 = 6 × ? ⇒ ? = 7

93. If a2 = 13 + 23 + 33, b2 = 13 + 23 + 33 + 43 and c2 = 13 + 23 + 33 + 43 + 53, then the value of a + b + c is

  • Option : B
  • Explanation : (B) If a2 = 13 + 23 + 33 = 1 + 8 + 27
    ⇒ a2 = 36 ⇒ a= 6
    Now, b2 = 13 + 23 + 33 + 43
    = 1 + 8 + 27 + 64 = 100
    ⇒ b = 10
    And c2 = 13 + 23 + 33 + 43 + 53
    = 1 + 8 + 27 + 64 + 125 = 225
    ⇒ c = 15
    Then, a + b + c = 6 + 10 + 15 = 31

94. A positive integer is selected at random and is divided by 7. What is the probability that the remainder is not 1?

  • Option : C
  • Explanation : (C) Desired probability lies in the range of 1-7 only.
    Then, again from 8, remainder starts with a count 1, 2 ....
    Total favourable cases are 7 and in only 1 case remainder is 1. Thus, probability that the remainder is 1 = 1/7.
    ∴ The probability that the remainder is not 1

95. Which of the following is not a 'proposition'?

  • Option : C
  • Explanation : (C) A proposition is a statement which can be either true or false but not both. So, (A), (B) and (C) are propositions but (C) is a question.
