Question : If the radii of two circles are 6 cm and 3 cm and the length of the transverse common tangent is 8 cm, then the distance between the two centres is:

Option 1: $\sqrt{145} \text{ cm}$

Option 2: $\sqrt{140} \text{ cm}$

Option 3: $\sqrt{150} \text{ cm}$

Option 4: $\sqrt{135} \text{ cm}$

Team Careers360 17th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\sqrt{145} \text{ cm}$


Solution : The distance between the centres of two circles with radii $r_1$ and $r_2$ (with $r_1 > r_2$), and the length of the transverse common tangent $t$,
$d = \sqrt{t^2 + (r_1 + r_2)^2}$
Substituting the given values into the equation:

Question : If $\sec\theta+\tan\theta=5$, then find the value of $\tan\theta$.

Option 1: $\frac{5}{12}$

Option 2: $\frac{13}{5}$

Option 3: $\frac{13}{3}$

Option 4: $\frac{12}{5}$

Team Careers360 19th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\frac{12}{5}$


Solution : Given: $\sec\theta+\tan\theta=5$--------------------(equation 1)
We know,
$\sec^2\theta-\tan^2\theta=1$
⇒ $(\sec\theta+\tan\theta)(\sec\theta-\tan\theta)=1$
⇒ $(5)(\sec\theta-\tan\theta)=1$
⇒ $(\sec\theta-\tan\theta)=\frac{1}{5}$----------------------(equation 2)
Now, solving equations 1 and 2 we get,
$\tan\theta=\frac{12}{5}$
Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{12}{5}$.
