Question : The area of the parallelogram whose length is 30 cm, width is 20 cm and one diagonal is 40 cm is:

Option 1: $200\sqrt{15}\text{ cm}^{2}$

Option 2: $100\sqrt{15}\text{ cm}^{2}$

Option 3: $300\sqrt{15}\text{ cm}^{2}$

Option 4: $150\sqrt{15}\text{ cm}^{2}$

Team Careers360 24th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $150\sqrt{15}\text{ cm}^{2}$


Solution :
In $\triangle$ ABD,
AB = 20 cm. AD = 30 cm. BD = 40 cm
Semi perimeter (s) = $\frac{a+b+c}{2}$ = $\frac{20+30+40}{2}$ = 45 cm
Now, the area of $\triangle$ABD
= $\sqrt{s(s - a)(s - b)(s - c)}$
= $\sqrt{45(45 - 20)(45 - 30)(45

Question : If $a^3=117+b^3$ and $a=3+b$, then the value of $(a+b)$ is:

Option 1: $\pm 7$

Option 2: $\pm 49$

Option 3: $\pm 13$

Option 4: $0$

Team Careers360 18th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\pm 7$


Solution : Given: $a^{3} - b^{3} = 117$ and $a - b = 3$
We know, $(a^{3} - b^{3}) = (a - b)(a^{2} + b^{2} + ab)$
$⇒(a^{3} - b^{3}) = (a - b)[(a - b)^{2} + 3ab]$
$⇒117 = 3[3^{2} + 3ab]$
$⇒39 = [3^{2}

Question : If $8 \cot A = 7$, then find $\sin A$.

Option 1: $\frac{7}{15}$

Option 2: $\frac{8}{\sqrt{113}}$

Option 3: $\frac{7}{8}$

Option 4: $\frac{8}{7}$

Team Careers360 15th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\frac{8}{\sqrt{113}}$


Solution : Given: $8 \cot A = 7$
⇒ $\cot A = \frac{7}{8}$
We know that $\operatorname{cosec^2 A}-\cot^2A=1$
⇒ $\operatorname{cosec^2 A}- (\frac{7}{8})^2=1$
⇒ $\operatorname{cosec^2 A}=1+\frac{49}{64}$
⇒ $\operatorname{cosec A}=\sqrt{\frac{113}{64}}=\frac{\sqrt{113}}{8}$
⇒ $\sin A=\frac{8}{\sqrt{113}}$
Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{8}{\sqrt{113}}$.
