Question : Two concentric circles are drawn with radii of 20 cm and 16 cm. What will be the length of a chord of the larger circle which is tangent to the smaller circle?
Option 1: 34 cm
Option 2: 24 cm
Option 3: 48 cm
Option 4: 12 cm
Correct Answer: 24 cm
Solution :
As BOC is a right-angled triangle at C, Applying Pythagoras theorem, ⇒ $(BO)^2 = (CO)^2 + (BC)^2$ ⇒ $(20)^2 = (16)^2 + (BC)^2$ ⇒ $400 = 256 + BC^2$ ⇒ $BC = \sqrt{\text{400 – 256}}$ ⇒ $BC = \sqrt{144}$ ⇒ $BC = 12$ $\therefore

Solution : Given: EJOT : ? :: YDIN : VAFK
Subtract 3 from the place value of YDIN to obtain the required code – Y – 3 = V; D – 3 = A; I – 3 = F; N – 3 = K Thus, YDIN is
Question : If $\tan (\alpha+\beta)=\sqrt{3}, \tan (\alpha-\beta)=1$ where $(\alpha+\beta)$ and $(\alpha-\beta)$ are acute angles, then what is $\tan$ $(6 \alpha) ?$
Option 1: $-1$
Option 2: $0$
Option 3: $1$
Option 4: $\sqrt{2}-1$
Correct Answer: $-1$
Solution : Given: $\tan (\alpha+\beta)=\sqrt{3}=\tan 60^{\circ}$ $\tan (\alpha-\beta)=1=\tan 45^{\circ}$ ⇒ $\alpha+\beta=60^{\circ}$ and $\alpha-\beta=45^{\circ}$ ⇒ $2\alpha=105^{\circ}$ ⇒ $\alpha=\frac{105}{2}^{\circ}$ ⇒ $6\alpha=6×\frac{105}{2}^{\circ}=315^{\circ}$ Now, $\tan 6\alpha$ = $\tan 315^{\circ}$ = $\tan (360^{\circ}-45^{\circ})$ = $-\tan45^{\circ}$ = $-1$ Hence, the correct answer is $-1$.
