Question : The sum of two angles of a triangle is 116° and their difference is 24°. The measure of the smallest angle of the triangle is:

Option 1: 38°

Option 2: 28°

Option 3: 46°

Option 4: 64°

Team Careers360 12th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 46°


Solution : Let the angles be $x$ and $y$.
According to the question,
$x+y=116°$ -----(1)
$x-y=24°$ ------(2)
Solving equation 1 and 2, we get
$x$ = 70°, $y$ = 46°
Third angle = 180° – 70° – 46° = 64°
So, the smallest angle is 46°.
Hence,

Question : What is the compound interest (in Rs.) for 1 year on a sum of Rs. 20,000 at the rate of 40% per annum compounded half-yearly?

Option 1: 8000

Option 2: 8650

Option 3: 8750

Option 4: 8800

Team Careers360 21st Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 8800


Solution : Principal amount, $P$ = Rs. 20000
Rate, $R$ = 40%
Term, $n = 1$ year
Compound interest after 1 year = $P[(1+\frac{\frac{R}{2}}{100})^{2n} –1)]$]
= $20000[(1+\frac{40}{200})^{2} –1)]$
= $20000[(1.2)^{2} –1)]$
= $20000[1.44–1)]$
= $20000 × 0.44$
= Rs. 8800
Hence, the correct answer is 8800.

Option 1: $\sqrt{171} \mathrm{~cm}$

Option 2: $\sqrt{161 } \mathrm{~cm}$

Option 3: $\sqrt{117 } \mathrm{~cm}$

Option 4: $\sqrt{ 181} \mathrm{~cm}$

Team Careers360 8th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\sqrt{171} \mathrm{~cm}$


Solution :
Given: The area of a circle is $616 \mathrm{~cm}^2$.
A chord $XY=10 \mathrm{~cm}$
Let $O$ be the centre, $XY$ be the chord, $OX$ be the radius and $OZ \perp XY$.
$XY=10$ cm therefore, $XZ=5$ cm
Area of circle = $\pi r^{2}$
⇒ $616=\pi r^{2}$
