Question : A horse is grazing in a field. It is tied to a pole with a rope of length 6 m. The horse moves from point A to point B making an arch with an angle of 70°. Find the area of the sector grazed by the horse.

Option 1: 22 m$^2$

Option 2: 21 m$^2$

Option 3: 23 m$^2$

Option 4: 20 m$^2$

Team Careers360 23rd Jan, 2024

Question : In trapezium $ABCD$, $AB \parallel CD$ and $AB = 2CD$. Its diagonals intersect at $O$. If the area of $\triangle AOB=84\;\mathrm{cm^2}$ then the area of $\triangle COD$ is equal to:

Option 1: 72 cm2

Option 2: 21 cm2

Option 3: 42 cm2

Option 4: 26 cm2

Team Careers360 20th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 21 cm2


Solution :

In trapezium $ABCD$, $AB \parallel CD, AB = 2CD$ and area of $\Delta AOB=84\;\mathrm{cm^2}$.
In $\triangle AOB$ and $\triangle COD$,
$\angle AOB=\angle COD$ (Vertically opposite angles)
$\angle ABO=\angle CDO$ (Alternate angles)
$\angle BAO=\angle DCO$ (Alternate angles)
So, $\triangle AOB\sim\triangle COD$
Using the theorem,
