Question : Directions: The table given below shows information about bats manufactured by six different companies. Each company manufactures only plastic and wooden bats. Each company labels these bats as Brand A or Brand B. The table shows the number of plastic bats as a percentage of the total bats manufactured by each company. It also shows the ratio of wooden bats labelled A and B. Each company manufactured a total of 550000 bats.
$N$ = Wooden bats of Brand B manufactured by U $M$ = Total wooden bats manufactured by R and W together. What is the value of $\frac{N}{M}$?
Option 1: 0.043
Option 2: 0.061
Option 3: 0.125
Option 4: 0.087
Correct Answer: 0.061
Solution : Given that, N = Wooden bats of Brand B manufactured by U For company U, The total number of bats is 550000, and 75% are plastic bats. The number of wooden bats is 25%. So, the number of wooden bats = 550000 × $\frac{25}{100}$ =
Question : In a coloured picture of blue and yellow colours, blue and yellow colours are used in the ratio of 4 : 3, respectively. If in the upper half, blue : yellow is 2 : 3, then in the lower half, blue : yellow is:

Question : $ABC$ is a right-angled triangle with $\angle BAC=90°$ and $\angle ACB=60°$. What is the ratio of the circumradius of the triangle to the side $AB\ ?$
Option 1: $1:2$
Option 2: $1:\sqrt3$
Option 3: $2:\sqrt3$
Option 4: $2:3$
Correct Answer: $1:\sqrt3$
Solution : Given: $ABC$ is a right-angled triangle with $\angle BAC=90°$ and $\angle ACB=60°$. Let the hypotenuse $BC$ of the triangle be $2r$ units. We know, The circumradius of a right-angled triangle is half of its hypotenuse. So, the circumradius = $\frac{2r}{2}=r$ units Now, $\sin60°=\frac{AB}{BC}$ ⇒ $\frac{\sqrt3}{2}=\frac{AB}{BC}$
