Raghav Tyagi from birla vidya niketan, new delhi
Subject :IMO    Class : Class 8

Ans 1:

Ankit kumar Jha from Ryan International School , Ghaziabad
Class : Class 9
but that is not what we want

Ans 2:

Ayush Gorain from Sarala Birla Public School, Ranchi
Class : Class 8
By factorization process, we get a-3 = a 2, which is in fact a linear equation without a solution. On the other hand, by solving through cross multiplication method (as shown in the solution of this question), we get a²-8a-20 = 0, or (a 2)(a-10) = 0. By solving the quadratic equation, we get a as (-2) or (10), which, upon substituting in the formula given in the question, doesn't satisfy the equation. This is because the equation in the above question isn't even actually correct, as (a-3) is not equal to (a 2), as that would lead to the statement: 5 = 0, which is obviously not true.

Ans 3:

from ,
Class : Class 9
a2 - 13a + 30 = a2 + 4a + 4 a - 10 a + 2 => (a2 - 13a + 30)(a + 2) = (a2 + 4a + 4)(a - 10) => a3 + 2a2 - 13a2 - 26a + 30a + 60 = a3 - 10a2 +4a2 + 4a - 40 => - 11a2 + 4a + 60 = - 6a2+ 4a - 40 => - 11a2 + 6a2 + 60 + 40 = 0 => - 5a2 + 100 = 0 => 5a2 = 100 => a2 = 20 => a = √20 Insert the value of'a'and you will get the answer.

Class : Class 10
The question is wrong.If A is the answer, solving this quadratic eqn, we get a=10 or -2since the answer is a simplified form of the question, these values of a should also hold for question also. But if we put these vales in the question either LHS or RHS denominator will become 0 making it undefined.the actual procedure is to factorize.=> [(a-3)(a-10)]/(a-10)=[(a 2)(a 2)]/(a 2)=> a-3 = a 2=> -3 = 2 which is absurd. so the question is wrong.

Ans 8:

Harsh Shukla from DPS Bangalore East, Bengaluru
Class : Class 9
This question is completely wrong as when we factorise (a^2-13a 30) and (a^2 4a 4), we get (a-3)(a-10) and (a 2)^2 respectively. After calculating more, we get a-3=a 2 which has no solution as -3≠2

arnav santosh shinde from new english school , landewadi
Class : Class 4
correct answer is 'c'

Ans 8:

Nimish Khandekar from SNBP International School, Pune
Class : Class 8
the answer is b only because the second question is, 'the sum of two numbers is ALWAYS smaller than their product.' this statement is definitely false because if we take example of 2 and 2, their product is equal to their sum and if we take 1 and 1, then its product is smaller than its sum. then according to the statement above, answer should be false which should be answer 'B'

ABHIRAM from chirec, HYDERABAD

Ojas from Sulochana Natu Vidya Mandir, Bhartiya Vidya Bhavan, Pune
Class : Class 7
1st statement is wrong ,If we say that dividend is 0 and divisor is 5 it will be written as 0÷5=0 as 5×0=0 SO D IS CORRECT

Ans 11:

Ashmi Narkar from The Shishukunj International School, Jhalaria Campus, Indore
Class : Class 8
Ya. ONLY B is correct. Bcz 2 x 2 = 4 and 2 2 = 4. Product is equal. And 1 x 1 = 1 and 1 1 = 2. Product is smaller. 2 x 1 = 2 and 2 1 = 3. Product is smaller. As they have given "2 WHOLE numbers" so the same whole number can be used both times. They didn't tell that there is no repetition. So ONLY B IS CORRECT!

Ans 12:

Pranit Sinha from Montfort School, Roorkee, Haridwar
Class : Class 6
The answer is C.Even if the answer is B then how???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Ans 13:

Rohan Naik from VIBGYOR high, Bangalore
Class : Class 6

Ans 14:

The Tuition Master from oakridge, hyderabad
Class : Class 7
Option (B) is correctAs it is telling that sum of 2 whole numbers is ALWAYS less than the product but if we see 2 2=4 and 2x2=4 the both the answers are equal

Ans 15:

Nimisha Tambe from Narayana vidyalayam, Nagpur
Class : Class 8
The answer is BBecause if we take 1 2=3 but 1x2=2 which is less than the product. Statement ll is false.
