Edition 9
1. The area of a right-angled triangle with all side lengths integers is an integer divisible by
- (A) 4
- (B) 3
- (C) 6
- (D) 8
- (E) 9
2. In a rectangle ABCD, the length of BC is twice the width of AB. Pick a point P on side BC such that the lengths of AP and BC are equal. The measure of angle CPD is
- (A) 75°
- (B) 60°
- (C) 45°
- (D) 55°
- (E) 85°
3. The number of pairs of integers (x, y) such that 11x + 8y + 17 = xy is
- (A) 19
- (B) 16
- (C) 14
- (D) 24
- (E) 29

Problem #2) Solution :
B D=x cm;;
C o s
Or (A B ^2+ B D ^2-A D ^2)/(2 * A B* B D)=(A C ^2+C D ^2-A D ^2)/(2* A C * C D);
Or ( 1 7^2 +x ^2 -1 5 ^2/(2* 17 * x)=(1 7^2 + 4 ^2-1 5 ^2)/(2 * 17* 4);
Or (64+ x^2)/x= (80)/4=20;
Or 64+ x^2=20 *x; or x=4 or 16 ;
Admissible value of x=16B D= x cm=16 cm
Thank you sir for another solution
Please explain this answer.
Solution of problem1.
First we will measure 3 conis each side.
Case1 – if balance is eqall we will measure two out of 3 coins putting one on each side, thus we will get the heavier one.
Case 2 – if one side is heavier them we will take 2 coins of the heavier side and measure by putting one each side, thus we can find the heavier one.

Question 1 solution :
(c)
As 10 houses have less than 6rooms, they are to be excluded.
Given,
4 houses have more than 8 rooms .
Therefore, number of houses having either less than 6 or greater than 8 rooms = 10 + 4 = 14.
The remaining houses, that is 11 houses fulfill the above mentioned criteria.
