Question : The tops of two poles of height 60 metres and 35 metres are connected by a rope. If the rope makes an angle with the horizontal whose tangent is $\frac{5}{9}$ metres, then what is the distance (in metres) between the two poles?
Option 1: 63
Option 2: 30
Option 3: 25
Option 4: 45
Correct Answer: 45
Solution : In the figure, two poles AB and PQ of height 60 m & 35 m are connected by rope BQ. Rope BQ is making angle θ with the horizontal whose tangent is $\frac{5}{9}$metre; $\therefore$ BO = 60 – 35 = 25 metres Now, tan θ

Question : In $\triangle$ABC, if the median AD = $\frac{1}{2}$BC, then $\angle$BAC is equal to:
Option 1: 90°
Option 2: 45°
Option 3: 60°
Option 4: 75°
Correct Answer: 90°
Solution : Given: Since AD is the median of △ABC, BD = CD = $\frac{1}{2}$BC $\therefore$ AD = BD = CD Thus A, B, and C are in equal distance from point D. That means D is the circumcentre of △ ABC. Also, in a right triangle,
Question : Which of the following literary works belongs to classical Sanskrit literature ?
Option 1: Dhammapada

The genre of classical Sanskrit poetry is diverse and contains a wide range of poetic styles. The two epics that Indians hold in the utmost awe and respect, the Ramayana and Mahabharata, are the most well-known examples of epic poetry. The
Question : If $( x^{3}-y^{3}):( x^{2}+xy+y^{2})=5:1$ and $( x^{2}-y^{2}):(x-y)=7:1$, then the ratio $2x:3y$ equals:
Option 1: $4:1$
Option 2: $2:3$
Option 3: $4:3$
Option 4: $3:2$
Correct Answer: $4:1$
Solution : Given: $(x^{3}-y^{3}):( x^{2}+xy+y^{2})=5:1$ and $( x^{2}-y^{2}):(x-y)=7:1$ Now, $\frac{x^{3}-y^{3}}{ x^{2}+xy+y^{2}}=\frac{5}{1}$ Using the algebraic identity, $a^3-b^3=(a-b)(a^2+ab+b^2)$ ⇒ $\frac{(x-y)(x^{2}+xy+y^{2})}{ x^{2}+xy+y^{2}}=\frac{5}{1}$ ⇒ $x-y=5$ ......................... (1) Again, $\frac{x^{2}-y^{2}}{ x-y}=\frac{7}{1}$ Using the algebraic identity $a^2-b^2=(a-b)(a+b)$ ⇒$\frac{(x-y)(x+y)}{ x-y}=\frac{7}{1}$ ⇒ $x+y=7$ ........................ (2) Solving both equations, we get: ⇒ $x= 6, y=1$ Thus,
Question : ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral and AD is a diameter. If $\angle$ DAC = 55$^\circ$ then value of $\angle$ABC is:
Option 1: 55$^\circ$
Option 2: 35$^\circ$
Option 3: 145$^\circ$
Option 4: 125$^\circ$
Correct Answer: 145$^\circ$
Solution : Given, a cyclic quadrilateral ABCD and diameter AD And, $\angle$ DAC = 55$^\circ$ In $\triangle$ ACD, $\angle$ DAC = 55$^\circ$ $\angle$ ACD = 90$^\circ$ (angle in a semicircle) $\angle$ ADC = 180$^\circ$ – 55$^\circ$ – 90$^\circ$ = 35$^\circ$ (angle sum property) We know that opposite
Question : The lengths of the diagonals of a rhombus are 24 cm and 10 cm, then the perimeter of the rhombus (in cm) is:
Option 1: 52
Option 2: 56
Option 3: 68
Option 4: 72
Correct Answer: 52
Solution : Given: The lengths of the diagonals of a rhombus are 24 cm and 10 cm. So, the length of the sides = $\sqrt{(\frac{24}{2})^2+(\frac{10}{2})^2}$ = $\sqrt{12^2+5^2}$ = $\sqrt{169}$ = $13$ $\therefore$ The perimeter of the rhombus = (4 × 13) = 52 cm Hence, the correct
