Question : The distance between the centres of two circles of radii 2 cm and 6 cm is 5 cm. Find the length of the direct common tangent.

Option 1: $6 \mathrm{~cm}$

Option 2: $3 \mathrm{~cm}$

Option 3: $9 \mathrm{~cm}$

Option 4: $\frac{5}{2} \mathrm{~cm}$

Question : The volume of a right circular cone is 1232 cm3 and its vertical height is 24 cm. Its curved surface area is: 

Option 1: 154 cm2

Option 2: 550 cm2

Option 3: 604 cm2

Option 4: 704 cm2

Team Careers360 18th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 550 cm2


Solution : Given: The volume of a right circular cone is 1232 cm3 and its vertical height is 24 cm.
Let $r$, $h$, and $l$ be the radius, height, and slant height of the cone.
According to the question,
$\frac{1}{3}×\pi×r^2×h=1232$
Or, $\frac{1}{3}×\frac{22}{7}×r^2×24=1232$
Or, $r^2=\frac{1232×7×3}{22×24}$

Question : If A borrowed Rs. $P$ at $x$% and B borrowed Rs. $Q (> P)$ at $y$% per annum in simple interest at the same time, then the amount of their debts will be equal after:

Option 1: $100(\frac{Q-P}{Px-Qy})$

Option 2: $100(\frac{Px-Qy}{Q-P})$

Option 3: $100(\frac{Px-Qy}{P-Q})$

Option 4: $100(\frac{P-Q}{Px-Qy})$

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $100(\frac{Q-P}{Px-Qy})$


Solution : Given: $P$ is the principal, $x$ is the rate for 1st case, $Q$ is the principal and $y$ is the rate for the second case.
Let the amount be equal in $T$ years.
Simple interest = $\frac{P×R×T}{100}$
According to the question:
$P+\frac{P×x×T}{100}=Q+\frac{Q×y×T}{100}$
⇒ $\frac{PxT}{100}-\frac{QyT}{100}=Q–P$

Question : If a sum of Rs. 12,500 is invested for 1 year at 12% per annum interest is compounded semi-annually, then the interest earned is:

Option 1: Rs. 1,505

Option 2: Rs. 1,535

Option 3: Rs. 1,545

Option 4: Rs. 1,550

Team Careers360 23rd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Rs. 1,545


Solution : Given:
Principal = Rs. 12,500
Rate of Interest = 12%
Time = 1 year
Formula used:
Amount = $P(1+\frac{\frac{R}{2}}{100})^{2n}$ where n is the time in years and $R$ is rate of interest per annum when compounded half-yearly.
CI = $P(1+\frac{\frac{R}{2}}{100})^{2n} - P$
$\therefore n

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
