Question : $D$ is a point on the side $BC$ of a triangle $ABC$ such that $AD\perp BC$. $E$ is a point on $AD$ for which $AE:ED=5:1$. If $\angle BAD=30^{\circ}$ and $\tan \left ( \angle ACB \right )=6\tan \left ( \angle DBE \right )$, then $\angle ACB =$

Option 1: $30^{\circ}$

Option 2: $45^{\circ}$

Option 3: $60^{\circ}$

Option 4: $15^{\circ}$

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $60^{\circ}$


Solution :

Given that $AE:ED=5:1$, $\angle BAD=30^{\circ}$ and $\tan \left ( \angle ACB \right )=6\tan \left ( \angle DBE \right )$
Let $AE$ and $ED$ be $5x,x$.
So, $DE=x, AE=5x$ and $AD=6x$
In $\triangle ABD$,
$\angle ABD+\angle BAD=90^{\circ}$
⇒ $\angle ABD =90^{\circ}-\angle BAD$
⇒ $\angle ABD =90^{\circ}-30^{\circ}=60^{\circ}$

Question : The angle of elevation of an aeroplane as observed from a point 30 metres above the transparent water surface of a lake is 30° and the angle of the depression of the image of the aeroplane in the water of the lake is 60°. The height of the aeroplane from the water surface of the lake is:

Option 1: 60 metres

Option 2: 45 metres

Option 3: 50 metres

Option 4: 75 metres

Team Careers360 16th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 60 metres


Solution :
AB = transparent water surface then according to question,
$\triangle$CPM = 30°; $\angle$C'PM = 60°
CM = $h$
CB = Height of the aeroplane from the water surface of the lake = $h + 30$
$\therefore$ C'B = $h + 30$
In $\triangle$CMP, tan

Question : A money lender lends Rs. 400 for 3 years to a person and lends Rs. 500 for 4 years to another person at the same rate of simple interest. If he receives Rs.160 as interest, what is the rate of interest per annum?

Option 1: 5%

Option 2: 7%

Option 3: 9%

Option 4: 10%

Team Careers360 21st Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 5%


Solution : Let the rate of interest per annum be $r$%.
We know, Simple interest = $\frac{\text{Principal × Rate × Time}}{100}$
Here the interest for Rs. 400 for 3 years at $r$% rate is = $\frac{400×r×3}{100} = 12r$
and the interest for Rs. 500 for 4 years
