Option 1: $\mathrm{QR}=6$ cm, $\angle \mathrm{R}=75^{\circ}$

Option 2: $\mathrm{QR}=6$ cm, $\angle \mathrm{Q}=75^{\circ}$

Option 3: $\mathrm{QR}=6$ cm, $\angle \mathrm{P}=75^{\circ}$

Option 4: $\mathrm{PR}=6$ cm, $\angle \mathrm{P}=75^{\circ}$

Team Careers360 15th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\mathrm{QR}=6$ cm, $\angle \mathrm{P}=75^{\circ}$


Solution : Given, $\triangle \mathrm{ABC} \cong \triangle \mathrm{PQR}$
And, $\mathrm{BC}=6 \mathrm{~cm}$, and $\angle \mathrm{A}=75^{\circ}$
Since $\triangle \mathrm{ABC} \cong \triangle \mathrm{PQR}$,
$BC = QR = 6$ cm (corresponding sides of congruent triangles)
And, $\angle \mathrm{A}=\angle \mathrm{P}=75^{\circ}$ (corresponding angles of congruent triangles)
Hence, the correct answer

Question : If $A=\frac{\sqrt{0.0004} \times \sqrt[3]{0.000008}}{\sqrt[4]{16000} \times \sqrt[3]{125000} \times \sqrt[4]{810}}$ and $B=\frac{\sqrt[3]{0.729} \times \sqrt[4]{0.0016}}{\sqrt{0.16}}$, then what is $A \times B$?

Option 1: $6 \times 10^{–7}$

Option 2: $\frac{7}{4} \times 10^{–8}$

Option 3: $5 \times 10^{–8}$

Option 4: $\frac{7}{3} \times 10^{–7}$

Team Careers360 20th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $6 \times 10^{–7}$


Solution : Given: The values of $A=\frac{\sqrt{0.0004} \times \sqrt[3]{0.000008}}{\sqrt[4]{16000} \times \sqrt[3]{125000} \times \sqrt[4]{810}}$ and $B=\frac{\sqrt[3]{0.729} \times \sqrt[4]{0.0016}}{\sqrt{0.16}}$.
$A=\frac{\sqrt{0.0004} \times \sqrt[3]{0.000008}}{\sqrt[4]{16000} \times \sqrt[3]{125000} \times \sqrt[4]{810}}=\frac{\sqrt{(0.02)^2}\times\sqrt[3]{(0.02)^3}}{\sqrt[4]{2^4\times10^3}\times\sqrt[3]{(50)^3}\times{\sqrt[4]{3^4\times10}}}$
$=\frac{{0.02} \times {0.02}}{(2\times50\times3)\times{\sqrt[4]{(10)^3}}\times{\sqrt[4]{10}}}=\frac{{0.02} \times {0.02}}{300\times{{\sqrt[4]{(10)^3\times10}}}}$
⇒ $A=\frac{{0.02} \times {0.02}}{300\times10}=\frac{0.0004}{3000}$
$B=\frac{\sqrt[3]{0.729} \times \sqrt[4]{0.0016}}{\sqrt{0.16}}=\frac{\sqrt[3]{(0.9)^3} \times \sqrt[4]{(0.2)^4}}{\sqrt{(0.4)^2}}$
⇒ $B= \frac{0.9\times 0.2}{0.4}=\frac{0.9}{0.2}$
