Question : ABC is an isosceles triangle having $\angle$ C = 90$^\circ$, if D is any point on AB, then AD2 + BD2 is equal to:

Option 1: CD2

Option 2: 2CD2

Option 3: 3CD2

Option 4: 4CD2

Team Careers360 18th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 2CD2


Solution :
Given that ABC is an isosceles triangle with $\angle$ C = 90$^\circ$.
Construct a circle of radius $r$ circumscribing triangle ABC with AB as diameter as $\angle$C will be an angle in a semicircle.
Since D can be any point, take it as the

Question : The value of $\sec x - \cos x = $?

Option 1: $\tan x \sin x$

Option 2: $\sec x \tan x$

Option 3: $\tan x \cos x$

Option 4: $\sec x \cos x$

Team Careers360 15th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\tan x \sin x$


Solution : $\sec x - \cos x$
$ = \frac{1}{\cos x} - \cos x $
$ = \frac{1- \cos ^{2}x}{\cos x}$
$ = \frac{\sin^{2}x}{\cos x}$
$ = \frac{\sin x }{\cos x}\times \sin x$
$ = \tan x \sin x$
Hence, the correct answer is

Question : In a right-angled triangle, the product of two sides is equal to half of the square of the third side, i.e. the hypotenuse. One of the acute angles must be:

Option 1: 60°

Option 2: 30°

Option 3: 45°

Option 4: 15°

Team Careers360 23rd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 45°


Solution : According to the question,
Given : $ab = \frac{c^{2}}{2}$...............................(i)

In $\triangle$ABC,
Using Pythagoras theorem
AC2 = AB2 + BC2
⇒ $c^{2} = a^{2}+b^{2}$ .................................. (ii)
Put the value of $c^{2}$ in equation (i)
$2ab = a^{2} + b^{2}$
⇒ $a^{2} + b^{2}

Question : If $\sec \theta-2 \cos \theta=\frac{7}{2}$, where $\theta$ is a positive acute angle, then the value of $\sec \theta$ is:

Option 1: 6

Option 2: 8

Option 3: 5

Option 4: 4

Team Careers360 8th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 4


Solution : Given, $\sec \theta-2 \cos \theta=\frac{7}{2}$
We know, $\cos\theta = \frac{1}{\sec\theta}$
⇒ $\sec \theta-\frac{2}{\sec \theta}=\frac{7}{2}$
⇒ $(\sec^2\theta - 2)2=7\sec\theta$
⇒ $2\sec^2\theta - 7\sec\theta -4 = 0$
Solving it as a quadratic equation, using middle-term splitting,
⇒ $2\sec^2\theta - 8\sec\theta + \sec\theta - 4 = 0$

Question : In $\triangle$ABC, $\angle$BAC = 90º and AD is perpendicular to BC. If AD = 6 cm and BD = 4 cm, then the length of BC is:

Option 1: 10 cm

Option 2: 12 cm

Option 3: 13 cm

Option 4: 15 cm

Team Careers360 15th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 13 cm


Solution :

As we know the altitude to the hypotenuse divides the triangle into two triangles that are similar to the original triangle and each other.
⇒ AD2 = BD × DC
⇒ 6= 4 × DC
⇒ DC = 9 cm
