Question : An aeroplane when flying at a height of 5000 m from the ground passes vertically above another aeroplane at an instant, when the angles of elevation of the two aeroplanes from the same point on the ground are $60^{\circ}$ and $45^{\circ}$ respectively. The vertical distance between the aeroplanes at that instant is:
Option 1: $5000(\sqrt{3}-1)$m
Option 2: $5000(3-\sqrt{3})$m
Option 3: $5000(1-\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}})$m
Option 4: $4500$ m
Correct Answer: $5000(1-\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}})$m
Solution : Let A and B be the two positions of the aeroplane. When B is vertically below and AC = 5000 metres and let BC = $y$ metre Now, in $\triangle DCA$ ⇒ $\tan 60^\circ = \frac{AC}{DC}$ ⇒ $\sqrt3 = \frac{5000}{DC}$ ⇒ $DC = \frac{5000}{\sqrt3}$ Now,

Question : If $(4 x-7 y)=11$ and $x y=8$, what is the value of $16 x^2+49 y^2$, given that $x$ and $y$ are positive numbers?
Option 1: 596
Option 2: 484
Option 3: 569
Option 4: 448
Correct Answer: 569
Solution : Given: $(4 x-7 y)=11$ and $x y=8$ Now, $(4 x-7 y)=11$ ⇒ $(4 x-7 y)^2=11^2$ [squaring both sides] ⇒ $16 x^2+49 y^2-56xy=121$ ⇒ $16 x^2+49 y^2-56(8)=121$ ⇒ $16 x^2+49 y^2=569$ Hence, the correct answer is 569.
