Question : In the given figure, if KI = IT and EK = ET, then $\angle$ TEI =________.

Option 1: 75°

Option 2: 125°

Option 3: 105°

Option 4: 150°

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 105°


Solution :
KI = IT and EK = ET
$\angle$ KET = 150°
In $\triangle$ KEI and $\triangle$ TEI,
KI = IT [Given]
EK = ET [Given]
EI = EI [Common]
So, $\triangle$ KEI $\cong$ $\triangle$ TEI,
⇒ $\angle$ KEI = $\angle$ TEI

Question : The sides of a triangle are in the ratio $\frac{1}{2}:\frac{1}{3}:\frac{1}{4}$ and its perimeter is 104 cm. The length of the longest side (in cm) is:

Option 1: 52

Option 2: 48

Option 3: 32

Option 4: 26

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 48


Solution : Given: The ratio of the triangle's sides
$=\frac{1}{2} : \frac{1}{3} : \frac{1}{4}$.
$=\frac{1}{2} × 12 : \frac{1}{3} × 12 : \frac{1}{4} × 12$
$=6: 4: 3$
The perimeter of the triangle is $104$ cm.
$\therefore$ The longest length of the triangle = $\frac{104}{6+4+3}×6= 48$ cm

Question : If $\sec \theta+\tan \theta=5, (\theta \neq 0)$, then $\sec \theta$ is equal to:

Option 1: $\left(5+\frac{1}{5}\right)$

Option 2: $\frac{1}{2}\left(3+\frac{1}{3}\right)$

Option 3: $\frac{1}{2}\left(5+\frac{1}{5}\right)$

Option 4: $\left(3+\frac{1}{3}\right)$

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\frac{1}{2}\left(5+\frac{1}{5}\right)$


Solution : Given: $\sec \theta+\tan \theta=5$ ..... equation1
$\sec^{2}\theta - \tan^{2}\theta =1$
⇒ $(\sec \theta+\tan \theta)(\sec \theta-\tan \theta)=1$
⇒ $\sec \theta-\tan \theta=\frac{1}{5}$......equation2
Adding equation1 and equation2
$2\sec\theta = 5 + \frac{1}{5}$
⇒ $\sec\theta=\frac{1}{2}\left(5+\frac{1}{5}\right)$
Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{1}{2}\left(5+\frac{1}{5}\right)$.
