Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Coulomb


Solution : The correct option is Coulomb.

One coulomb is defined as the amount of electric charge transported by a constant current of one ampere in one second. In other words, 1 C = 1 A·s (ampere-second).

C= Coloumb

A= Ampere has a fixed numerical value.

Question : If $\theta$ is positive acute angle and $7\cos^{2}\theta+3\sin^{2}\theta =4$, then the value of $\theta$ is:

Option 1: $60^{\circ}$

Option 2: $30^{\circ}$

Option 3: $45^{\circ}$

Option 4: $90^{\circ}$

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $60^{\circ}$


Solution : $7\cos^{2}\theta +3\sin^{2}\theta = 4$
$⇒7\cos^{2}\theta +3(1-\cos^{2}\theta) = 4$ ........[we know that $\sin^{2}\theta + \cos^{2}\theta=1$]
$⇒4\cos^{2}\theta +3 = 4$
$⇒\cos^{2}\theta = \frac{1}{4}$
$⇒\cos^{2}\theta - \frac{1}{4}$ = 0
$⇒(\cos\theta + \frac{1}{2})(\cos\theta - \frac{1}{2})$ = 0
$⇒\cos\theta =\frac{1}{2}\ \text{or,} -\frac{1}{2}$
$⇒\cos\theta =\cos 60^{\circ}\ \text{or,}\cos 120^{\circ}$
Since $\theta$ is

Question : If two concentric circles have radii of 5 cm and 3 cm, then the length of the chord of the larger circle that touches the smaller circle is:

Option 1: 6 cm

Option 2: 7 cm

Option 3: 10 cm

Option 4: 8 cm

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 8 cm


Solution :
Let O be the centre of the concentric circle of radii 5 cm and 3 cm, respectively. Let PQ be a chord of the larger circle that touches the smaller circle at point M.
OM $\perp$ PQ
In $\triangle \mathrm{OMP}$,
$\mathrm{OP^2=OM^2+PM^2}$
⇒ $\mathrm{5^2=3^2+PM^2}$

Question : $\triangle BAC\sim \triangle PQR$. The area of $\triangle BAC$ and $\triangle PQR$ is 25 cm2 and 36 cm2 respectively. If BA = 4 cm, then what is the length of PQ?

Option 1: 5.8 cm

Option 2: 4.2 cm

Option 3: 4.8 cm

Option 4: 5 cm

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 4.8 cm


Solution : Given: $\triangle BAC\sim \triangle PQR$.
The area of $\triangle BAC$ and $\triangle PQR$ is 25 cm2 and 36 cm2 respectively.
BA = 4 cm
A similar triangle's area is proportional to the squares of the respective sides.
Let PQ be $x$ cm.
