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°

Team Careers360 23rd Jan, 2024

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 : 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: $3:2$

Team Careers360 15th Jan, 2024

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$^\circ$

Team Careers360 18th Jan, 2024

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

Team Careers360 17th Jan, 2024

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
