Quantitative Question # 7 P(x) is a third degree polynomial and the coefficients of P(x) are rational.

If the graph of P(x) touches the x-axis, then how many rational roots does P(x) = 0 have? (a) 0 (b) 1 (c) 2 (d) 3 (e) none of the foregoing Quantitative Question # 8 QQAD team decides to go on vacation for 8 days trusting their NL software system. The problems are fed into the system and date timer set in advance for each 8 days for the questions to be delivered to the subscribers daily. However, the software follows a weird rule. It doesn't always deliver the NL daily in those 8 days, but never misses 3 consecutive deliveries. How many possible ways are there for the NLs delivery in those 8 days? (a) 162 (b) 138 (c) 117 (d) 176 (e) 149 Quantitative Question # 9 Moiz has a machine into which he can put any number of one rupee coins. If he inserts n rupees, the machine returns 2n rupees. Each time he uses the machine, however, he must insert more money than he did on the previous use. If he starts with exactly Rs 1 and use the machine once, he will have Rs 2. On his next use of the machine, he is forced to insert Rs 2 yielding Rs 4, and on his third use of the machine, he can insert either Rs 3 or Rs 4 yielding a total of Rs 7 or Rs 8. The largest 2 digit integer Z such that it is impossible to obtain exactly Z rupees with the machine, starting with Rs 1 is (a) 10 (b) 65 (c) 96 (d) 97 (e) none of the foregoing Quantitative Question # 10 Rani draws a square ABCD of side 1 unit. She then draws 10 straight lines connecting A to each of 11 equally spaced points lying internally on CD (including C and D). What is the total area (in unit square) of all the possible triangles that can be formed? (a) 5 (b) 11/2 (c) 11 (d) 23/2 (e) none of the foregoing Quantitative Question # 11 PQR is an acute angled triangle with perimeter 60 cm. S is a point on QR. The circumcircles of triangles PQS and PSR intersect PR and PQ at T and U respectively such that ST = 8 cm and SU = 7 cm. If <TQR = <QRU, then which of the following represents the value of PT/PU? (a) 16/19 (b) 3/4 (c) 14/17 (d) 5/6 (e) none of the foregoing Quantitative Question # 12 How many two digit or three digit positive integers in base 6 are there such that if 0 in inserted between the units and the tens digit, the multiple of the original number is obtained? (a) 12 (b) 15 (c) 16 (d) 18 (e) none of the foregoing Quantitative Question # 13 Apple had to study Mathematics from his teacher Orange. As usual, Apple was sleeping in the class. Immediately he heard a thundering voice. "All roots of this equation are real as well as positive in nature". Apple woke up from deep slumber. He hurried to copy the 10 degree equation written on the board but could copy only the first two terms written on the blackboard before Orange sir wiped it all. Apple however remembered that the constant term was 2. He noted down the equation as 2x^10 - 20x^9. + 2 = 0. Apple was very sure that if someone would tell him the sum

of all the coefficients of all the powers of x in the equation, he would solve it anyhow. He asked Mango about the same. The answer which Mango correctly gave was (a) -1024 (b) 0 (c) 1024 (d) Mango himself was confused (e) none of the foregoing
