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
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
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
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 : Directions: In the following question, correct the equation by interchanging two signs. 6 + 8 ÷ 4 – 4 = 8
Option 1: ÷ and =

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
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 $= 4\pi r^2$ ⇒ $346.5 = 4\pi r^2$ ⇒ $r^2$ = $\frac{346.5×7}{4×22}$ ⇒ $r^2= 27.5625$ $\therefore r =
