Question : The radius of a circle is 5 cm. The length of chord AB in this circle is 6 cm. What is the distance of this chord from the centre of the circle?

Option 1: 4 cm

Option 2: 5 cm

Option 3: 6 cm

Option 4: 8 cm

Team Careers360 13th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 4 cm


Solution :
Let $OB$ be the radius of the circle and $OD$ be the distance from the centre to the chord $AB$.
The radius of a circle, $OB$ = 5 cm
Length of chord $AB$ = 6 cm
Now, we know altitude from the centre of

Question : Study the given bar graph carefully and answer the following question.


What is the difference between the average demand and the average production of the three companies taken together?

Option 1: 1,275

Option 2: 1,530

Option 3: 1,850

Option 4: 1,456

Team Careers360 15th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 1,456


Solution : The demand of P, Q, and R companies is $(3800 + 4532 + 5318) = 13650$
Production of P, Q, and R companies is $(3620 + 2829 + 2833) = 9282$
Average = $\frac{\text{Sum of all the observations}}{{\text{Total number of observations}}}$
The average demand of

Question : If $\frac{a^2+b^2}{c^2}=\frac{b^2+c^2}{a^2}=\frac{c^2+a^2}{b^2}=\frac{1}{k}$, $(k\neq 0)$, then $k$=?

Option 1: $2$

Option 2: $1$

Option 3: $0$

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

Team Careers360 23rd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\frac{1}{2}$


Solution : Given: $\frac{a^2+b^2}{c^2}=\frac{b^2+c^2}{a^2}=\frac{c^2+a^2}{b^2}=\frac{1}{k}$
Solving the expressions, we get:
$k(a^2+b^2)=c^2$ (equation 1).
$k(b^2+c^2)=a^2$ (equation 2).
$k(c^2+a^2)=b^2$ (equation 3).
On adding all the equations, we get–
$(a^2+b^2+c^2)​​​​​=k(a^2+b^2+b^2+c^2+c^2+a^2)$
⇒ $(a^2+b^2+c^2)​​​​​=2k(a^2+b^2+c^2)$
⇒ $k=\frac{1}{2}$
Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{1}{2}$.

Question : The minute hand of a clock is 20 cm long. Find the area on the face of the clock swept by the minute hand between 8 a.m. and 8:45 a.m.

Option 1: $\frac{6600}{7}$ cm2

Option 2: $\frac{6600}{9}$ cm2

Option 3: $\frac{6600}{18}$ cm2

Option 4: $\frac{6600}{14}$ cm2

Team Careers360 19th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\frac{6600}{7}$ cm2


Solution : Length of minute hand = 20 cm
As we know the 1 minute angle made by the minute hand is $6^\circ$
In 45 minutes, the minute hand will make = $45(6^\circ)= 270^\circ$
Area swept by minute hand in 45 minutes
= $\frac{\theta}{360^{\circ}}\times \pi

Question : Two posts are $x$ metres apart and the height of one is double that of the other. If, from the midpoint of the line joining their feet, an observer finds the angular elevation of their tops to be complementary, then the height (in metres) of the shorter posts is:

Option 1: $\frac{x}{2\sqrt{2}}$

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

Option 3: $x\sqrt{2}$

Option 4: $\frac{x}{\sqrt{2}}$

Team Careers360 19th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\frac{x}{2\sqrt{2}}$


Solution :
Let BD be the distance between two posts is $x$ metres.
$\therefore$ OB = OD = $\frac{x}{2}$
From $\triangle$OCD
$\tan\theta$ = $\frac{CD}{OD}$
$\tan\theta$ = $\frac{h}{\frac{x}{2}}$= ${\frac{2h}{x}}$............(equation 1)
From $\triangle$OAB
$\tan(90–\theta)=\frac{AB}{OB}$
$\cot\theta$ = $\frac{2h}{\frac{x}{2}}$= ${\frac{4h}{x}}$............(equation 2)
Multiplying both equations, we get:
$\tan\theta×\cot\theta$ = ${\frac{2h}{x}}×{\frac{4h}{x}}$
⇒ 1
