Question : A tap can fill a tank in $5 \frac{1}{2}$ hours. Because of a leak, it took $8 \frac{1}{4}$ hours to fill the tank. In how much time (in hours) will the leak alone empty 30% of the tank?

Option 1: $\frac{99}{20}$

Option 2: $\frac{5}{2}$

Option 3: $\frac{9}{2}$

Option 4: $\frac{17}{2}$

Team Careers360 19th Jan, 2024

Question : $\triangle \mathrm{ABC}$ and $\triangle \mathrm{DEF}$ are similar triangles and their areas are 49 cm2 and 144 cm2 respectively, If $EF$ = 16.80 cm, then find $BC$.

Option 1: 7.5 cm

Option 2: 9.8 cm

Option 3: 8.7 cm

Option 4: 11.4 cm

Team Careers360 2nd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 9.8 cm


Solution : Given, $\triangle \mathrm{ABC}$ and $\triangle \mathrm{DEF}$ are similar triangles.
$\therefore$ The ratio of their area will be equal to the ratio of squares of their lengths.
⇒ $\frac{49}{144} = \frac{\text{BC }^2}{(16.80)^2}$
⇒ $\text{BC} = \sqrt{\frac{49}{144}\times(16.8)^2}$
⇒ $\text{BC} =16.8\times \frac{7}{12}$
⇒ $\text{BC} = 9.8\ \mathrm{cm}$
