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

Question : The ratio of the present ages of Ram and Ramesh is 3 : 5. After 7 years the ratio of their ages will be 4 : 5. Find the present age of Ramesh.

Option 1: 5 years

Option 2: 15 years

Option 3: 7 years

Option 4: 12 years

Team Careers360 23rd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 7 years


Solution : Let the present age of Ram and Ramesh be $3x$ and $5x$.
According to the question,
After 7 years,
$\frac{3x+7}{5x+7}=\frac{4}{5}$
⇒ $15x + 35 = 20x + 28$
⇒ $35 - 28 = 20x - 15x$
⇒ $5x = 7$
⇒ $x = \frac{7}{5}$

Question : A fan is listed at Rs. 150 with a discount of 20%. What additional discount must be offered to the customer to bring the net price to Rs. 108?

Option 1: $11\frac{1}{9}$%

Option 2: $15$%

Option 3: $8$%

Option 4: $\text{None of these}$

Team Careers360 18th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\text{None of these}$


Solution : Marked price = Rs. 150
Discount = 20% of marked price = 20% of 150 = $\frac{20}{100}$ × 150 = Rs. 30
Price after initial discount = Rs. 150 – Rs. 30 = Rs. 120
Final price = Rs. 108

Question : If $0°<\theta<90°$, the value of $\sin\theta+\cos\theta$ is:

Option 1: Equal to 1

Option 2: Greater than 1

Option 3: Less than 1

Option 4: Equal to 2

Team Careers360 24th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Greater than 1


Solution : $\sin\theta+\cos\theta$ where $0°<\theta<90°$
Putting the value of $\theta=45°$, we have,
$\sin 45°+\cos45°=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}+\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$
⇒ $\sin 45°+\cos45° =\frac{2}{\sqrt{2}}=\sqrt{2}$
Here, $\sqrt{2}=1.414>1$
Hence, the correct answer is greater than 1.

Question : $ABC$ is a triangle and $D$ is a point on the side $BC$. If $BC = 16\mathrm{~cm}$, $BD = 11 \mathrm{~cm}$ and $\angle ADC = \angle BAC$, then the length of $AC$ is equal to:

Option 1: $4 \sqrt{5} \mathrm{~cm}$

Option 2: $4 \mathrm{~cm}$

Option 3: $3 \sqrt{5} \mathrm{~cm}$

Option 4: $5 \mathrm{~cm}$

Team Careers360 24th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $4 \sqrt{5} \mathrm{~cm}$


Solution :

We have,
The $ABC$ is a triangle and $D$ is a point on the side $BC$. If $BC = 16 \mathrm{~cm}$, $BD = 11 \mathrm{~cm}$, $\angle ADC = \angle BAC$ (given), $\angle C$ is common angle and $AC$ is common side.
So, $\triangle

Question : Directions: Three different positions of the same dice are shown. Find the number on the face opposite the face showing 3.

Option 1: 4

Option 2: 1

Option 3: 5

Option 4: 2

Team Careers360 21st Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 1


Solution : Taking dice positions of Figures 1 and 2 with 5 as the common face –

Moving clockwise from the common face with 5 –

Pairs of opposite faces –

So, the opposite face to the face containing 3 is 1. Hence, the second option is
