Answer : 1. "400"
Explanation :
Answer: A) 400 Explanation: Let the total number of pages in the book be 'x'. From given data, 2x/5 + 34x/100 + 52 + 52 = x => 40x + 34x + 10400 = 100x => 26x = 10400 => x = 400. Hence, total pages in the book are 400.

Answer : 4. "If statement A and B together are not sufficient."
Explanation :
Answer: D) If statement A and B together are not sufficient. Explanation: From both statements we cannot conclude the train catched by Harish Since he missed at 4.15 and train coes at 4.30, 4.45, 5.00,... But in B given that he didn't catch the train at 4.45 and after that. So both statements A & B together are not sufficient to answer the question.

Answer : 1. "(1)"
Explanation :
Answer: A) (1) Explanation: The error lies in part (1). As the phrase 'as much as' needs to be replaced with 'much as I'. This is because we use 'as much as' for comparing two qualities or things. But here in the given sentence a contrast is given in the latter part of the sentence. So we need a conjunction like 'even though' 'although' etc... 'Much as I' also serves the same purpose.

Answer : 4. "a > b"
Explanation :
Answer: D) a > b Explanation: From solving 1 and 2 we get, 1. 5a(a-3)-3(a-3) = 0 (5a-3)(a-3) = 0 a = 3 or 3/5 2. 3b(b+2)-1(b+2) = 0 b = -2 or b = 1/3 Here when a = 3, a > b for b = -2 and b = 1/3 when a = 3/5. a > b for b = -2 and b = 1/3. Hence, it is clear that a > b.
