Question : A 1.6 m tall observer is 45 metres away from a tower. The angle of elevation from his eye to the top of the tower is 30°, then the height of the tower in metres is: (Take$\sqrt{3}=1.732$)

Option 1: 25.98

Option 2: 26.58

Option 3: 27.58

Option 4: 27.98

Team Careers360 19th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 27.58


Solution :
AB = Height of observer = 1.6 m.
CD = Height of tower = $h$ m.
∴ DE = ($h$ – 1.6) m
BC = AE = 45 metres
$\angle$DAE = 30°
From $\triangle$DAE,
$\tan 30°=\frac{DE}{AE}$
⇒ $\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}=\frac{h-1.6}{45}$
⇒ $h-1.6=15\sqrt{3}$
⇒ $h – 1.6 =

Question : $\cos ^2 35^{\circ}+\cos 55^{\circ} \cdot \sin 35^{\circ}+\frac{\tan 34^{\circ}}{\cot 56^{\circ}}=$________.

Option 1: 2

Option 2: 3

Option 3: 4

Option 4: 1

Team Careers360 19th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 2


Solution : We know that $\sin \theta = \cos (90°-\theta)$
And, $\tan \theta = \cot (90°-\theta)$
So, $\cos ^2 35^{\circ}+\cos 55^{\circ} \cdot \sin 35^{\circ}+\frac{\tan 34^{\circ}}{\cot 56^{\circ}}$
= $\cos ^2 35^{\circ}+\cos (90^{\circ}-35^{\circ}) \cdot\sin 35^{\circ}+\frac{\tan(90^{\circ}- 56^{\circ})}{\cot 56^{\circ}}$
= $\cos ^2 35^{\circ}+\sin 35^{\circ} \cdot \sin 35^{\circ}+\frac{\cot 56^{\circ}}{\cot 56^{\circ}}$
= $\cos

Question : Which of the following is the lowest ratio?

Option 1: 8 : 19

Option 2: 15 : 38

Option 3: 17 : 38

Option 4: 13 : 19

Team Careers360 20th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 15 : 38


Solution : Here, the LCM of the denominators of all the options is 38.
So, $\frac{8}{19} = \frac{8×2}{19\times 2}=\frac{16}{38}$
$ \frac{15}{38} $, $ \frac{17}{38}$
$ \frac{13}{19}= \frac{13×2}{19\times 2}=\frac{26}{38}$
$\therefore$ 15 : 38 is the lowest ratio.
Hence, the correct answer is 15 : 38.

Question : If the surface area of a sphere is 346.5 cm2, then its radius is: (Take $\pi=\frac{22}{7}$)

Option 1: 7 cm

Option 2: 3.25 cm

Option 3: 5.25 cm

Option 4: 9 cm

Team Careers360 24th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 5.25 cm


Solution : Given: Surface area of a sphere = 346.5 cm2
Let the radius of the sphere be $r$.
We know, the surface area of a sphere $= 4\pi r^2$
⇒ $346.5 = 4\pi r^2$
⇒ $r^2$ = $\frac{346.5×7}{4×22}$
⇒ $r^2= 27.5625$
