Question : If $\frac{a^2}{b+c}=\frac{b^2}{c+a}=\frac{c^2}{a+b}=1$, then $\frac{1}{1+a}+\frac{1}{1+b}+\frac{1}{1+c}$ is:
Solution : Given: $\frac{a^2}{b+c}=\frac{b^2}{c+a}=\frac{c^2}{a+b}=1$ So, $a^2=b+c$, $b^2=c+a$ and $c^2=a+b$. Now, $\frac{1}{1+a}+\frac{1}{1+b}+\frac{1}{1+c}$ Multiplying the numerator and denominator of the first, second and third term by $a$, $b$, and $c$, respectively. = $\frac{a}{a+a^2}+\frac{b}{b+b^2}+\frac{c}{c+c^2}$ = $\frac{a}{a+b+c}+\frac{b}{b+c+a}+\frac{c}{c+a+b}$ (putting the values of $a^2$, $b^2$ and $c^2$) = $\frac{a+b+c}{a+b+c}$ = 1 Hence, the

Question : If $\triangle$ABC ~ $\triangle$DEF such that 2AB = DE and BC = 8 cm, then the length of EF is:
Option 1: 16 cm
Option 2: 18 cm
Option 3: 22 cm
Option 4: 20 cm
Correct Answer: 16 cm
Solution : Given: △ABC∼△DEF, such that 2AB = DE and BC = 8 cm. If two triangles are similar then their corresponding sides are proportional. ⇒ $\frac{\text{EF}}{\text{BC}}=\frac{\text{DE}}{\text{AB}}$ ⇒ $\frac{\text{EF}}{8}=\frac{2\text{AB}}{\text{AB}}$ ⇒ $\text{EF}=2×8$ ⇒ $\text{EF}=16$ cm Hence, the correct answer is 16 cm.
