Question : If $\left \{ \frac{1}{2}(a-b) \right \}^{2}+ab=p(a+b)^{2}$, the value of $p$ is:

Option 1: $p=4$

Option 2: $p=\frac{1}{2}$

Option 3: $p=\frac{1}{4}$

Option 4: $p=2$

Team Careers360 19th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $p=\frac{1}{4}$


Solution : Given: $\left \{ \frac{1}{2}(a–b) \right \}^{2}+ab=p(a+b)^{2}$
⇒ $\frac{1}{4}(a - b)^2 + ab = p(a + b)^2$
Multiplying 4 on both sides,
⇒ $4 × \frac{1}{4}(a - b)^2 + 4ab = 4p(a + b)^2$
⇒ $(a - b)^2 + 4ab = 4p(a + b)^2$
⇒ $a^2

Question : D and E are two points on the sides AC and BC, respectively of $\triangle ABC$ such that DE = 18 cm, CE = 5 cm, and $\angle$DEC = 90º. If $ \tan\angle$ABC = 3.6, then AC : CD = ?

Option 1: BC : 2CE

Option 2: 2CE : BC

Option 3: 2BC : CE

Option 4: CE : 2BC

Team Careers360 24th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 2BC : CE


Solution : Based on the question, we draw a figure of $\triangle$ ABC,

$\angle$DEC = 90°
DE = 18 cm
CE = 5 cm
⇒ $\tan\angle$DCE $=\frac{DE}{CE}=\frac{18}{5}=$ 3.6
⇒ $\tan\angle$ABC = 3.6
⇒ $\angle$DCE = $\angle$ABC
$\therefore$ AC = AB
$\angle$DCE + $\angle$CDE = 90°
