Question : $\triangle$ABC is similar to $\triangle$PQR and AB : PQ = 2 : 3. AD is the median to the side BC in $\triangle$ABC and PS is the median to the side QR in $\triangle$PQR. What is the value of $(\frac{BD}{QS})^2$?

Option 1: $\frac{3}{5}$

Option 2: $\frac{4}{9}$

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

Option 4: $\frac{4}{7}$

Team Careers360 22nd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\frac{4}{9}$


Solution :
AB : PQ = 2 : 3
As $\triangle$ABC is similar to $\triangle$PQR,
$\frac{AB}{PQ}$ = $\frac{BC}{QR}$ = $\frac{CA}{RP}$ = $\frac{AD}{PS}$ = $\frac{BD}{QS}$ = $\frac{DC}{SR}$ = $\frac{2}{3}$
$(\frac{BD}{QS})^2$ = $(\frac{2}{3})^2$ = $\frac{4}{9}$
Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{4}{9}$.

Question : Flight A usually takes 1 hour more than Flight B to travel a distance of 7200 km. Due to engine trouble, the speed of Flight B falls by a factor of $\frac{1}{6}$th, so it takes 36 minutes more than Flight A to complete the same journey. What is the speed of Flight A (in km/h)?

Option 1: 800

Option 2: 900

Option 3: 750

Option 4: 720

Team Careers360 23rd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 800


Solution : Let the speed of flight A be $x$ km/h and the speed of flight B be $y$ km/h.
$\frac{7200}{x} = \frac{7200}{y}$+1-------------------------------(i)
After engine trouble, speed of flight B = $x–\frac{x}{6} = \frac{5x}{6}$ and it takes 36 minutes more than flight A.
$\frac{7200}{x} = \frac{7200×6}{5y}–\frac{36}{60}$-------------------------(ii)
