Question : Two points P and Q are at the distance of $x$ and $y$, where $y>x$, respectively from the base of a building and on a straight line. If the angles of elevation on the top of the building from points P and Q are complementary, then what is the height of the building?
Option 1: $xy$
Option 2: $\sqrt\frac{y}{x}$
Option 3: $\sqrt\frac{x}{y}$
Option 4: $\sqrt{xy}$
Correct Answer: $\sqrt{xy}$
Solution : Given: Two points P and Q are at the distance of $x$ and $y$, where $y>x$, respectively from the base of a building and on a straight line. $\tan\ \theta =\frac{AB}{x}$--------(equation 1) In $\triangle ABQ$, $\tan\ (90°–\ \theta) =\frac{AB}{y}$ $⇒\cot\ \theta =\frac{AB}{y}$-------(equation 2) From equation

Question : The circumference of the base of a right circular cone is 44 cm and its height is 24 cm. The curved surface area (in cm2) of the cone is: (Take $\pi=\frac{22}{7}$)
Option 1: 528
Option 2: 572
Option 3: 550
Option 4: 440
Correct Answer: 550
Solution : Given that the circumference of the base of the cone is 44 cm. The circumference of a circle is $2 \pi r$. $2 \pi r = 44$ $\Rightarrow r = \frac{44}{2 \pi} =7$ Given that the height of the cone is 24 cm. $l^2 =
Question : Directions: In the following question, find the odd number from the given alternatives.
Option 1: 49
Option 2: 25
Option 3: 8
Option 4: 36

Question : If $(x-\frac{1}{x})^2=\sqrt3$, then the value of $(x^6+\frac{1}{x^6})$ equals:
Option 1: 90
Option 2: 100
Option 3: 110
Option 4: 120
Correct Answer: 110
Solution : Given: $(x-\frac{1}{x})^2=\sqrt3$ Squaring both sides, we get, $⇒(x-\frac{1}{x})^2=(\sqrt3)^2$ $⇒x^2+\frac{1}{x^2}–2=3$ $⇒x^2+\frac{1}{x^2}=5$ Cubing on both sides, we get, $⇒(x^2+\frac{1}{x^2})^3=5^3$ $⇒x^6+\frac{1}{x^6}+3(x^2+\frac{1}{x^2})=125$ $⇒x^6+\frac{1}{x^6}+3\times5=125$ $⇒x^6+\frac{1}{x^6}=125-15$ $\therefore x^6+\frac{1}{x^6}=110$ Hence, the correct answer is 110.
