Question : If $\triangle ABC \sim \triangle QRP, \frac{\operatorname{area}(\triangle A B C)}{\operatorname{area}(\triangle Q R P)}=\frac{9}{4}, A B=18 \mathrm{~cm}, \mathrm{BC}=15 \mathrm{~cm}$, then the length of $\mathrm{PR}$ is:

Option 1: 16 cm

Option 2: 14 cm

Option 3: 10 cm

Option 4: 12 cm

Team Careers360 23rd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 10 cm


Solution :
Given that $\frac{\text{area}(\triangle ABC)}{\text{area}(\triangle PQR)}=\frac{9}{4}$, BC = 15 cm, AB = 18 cm
$\triangle$ ABC ~ $\triangle$ QRP, hence the ratio of areas of two similar triangles is equal to the ratio of the square of their corresponding sides.
$\frac{\text{area}(\triangle ABC)}{\text{area}(\triangle PQR)}=\frac{BC^{2}}{PR^{2}}$
$⇒\frac{9}{4} =

Question : Direction: Two buses start at the same time from Delhi and Agra, which are 300 kms apart, towards each other. After what time will they cross each other if their speeds are 38 km/h and 37 km/h?
 

Option 1: 4 hours

Option 2: 3 hours

Option 3: 5 hours

 

Option 4: 6 hours

Team Careers360 17th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 4 hours


Solution : Given:
Distance between Delhi and Agra = 300 km
Speed of bus 1 = 38 km/h
Speed of bus 2 = 37 km/h

Here, both the buses are moving toward each other.

Relative speed = 38 + 37 = 75 km/h

Therefore, the time

Question : If $\sqrt{3} \tan \theta=3 \sin \theta$, then what is the value of $\sin ^2 \theta-\cos ^2 \theta$?

Option 1: $\frac{1}{5}$

Option 2: $\frac{1}{4}$

Option 3: $\frac{1}{2}$

Option 4: $\frac{1}{3}$

Team Careers360 13th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\frac{1}{3}$


Solution : Given: $\sqrt{3} \tan \theta=3 \sin \theta$
⇒ $\sqrt{3}\times \frac{\sin \theta}{\cos\theta}=3 \sin \theta$
⇒ $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{3}=\cos\theta$
⇒ $\cos\theta=\frac{1}{\sqrt3}$
Squaring both sides of the above equation,
$\cos^2 \theta=\frac{1}{3}$ (equation 1)
We know the trigonometric identity, $\sin ^2 \theta+\cos ^2 \theta=1$.
Substitute the value from the equation 1 in

Question : A shopkeeper increases the price of an object by 40% and then sells it at a 25% discount on the marked price. If the selling price of such an object is Rs. 2100, its cost price for the shopkeeper is:

Option 1: Rs. 3,000

Option 2: Rs. 1,500

Option 3: Rs. 1,750

Option 4: Rs. 2,000

Team Careers360 23rd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Rs. 2,000


Solution : Here, Selling price of an object = Rs. 2,100
Here, $a$ = 40%, $b$ = –25%
Effective percentage change = $a+b+\frac{ab}{100}$%
= $40 − 25 −\frac{40\times 25}{100}$%
= $(15 - 10)$ = 5%
