Question : In a right-angled triangle, if the hypotenuse is 20 cm and the ratio of the other two sides is 4 : 3, the lengths of the sides are:
Option 1: 4 cm and 3 cm
Option 2: 8 cm and 6 cm
Option 3: 12 cm and 9 cm
Option 4: 16 cm and 12 cm
Correct Answer: 16 cm and 12 cm
Solution : Given: In a right-angled triangle, the hypotenuse is 20 cm and the ratio of the other two sides is 4 : 3. Let the two sides be $4x$ cm and $3x$ cm. Then $(4x)^2+(3x)^2=20^2$ ⇒ $25x^2=400$ ⇒ $x^2=\frac{400}{25}$ ⇒ $x^2=16$ ⇒

Question : If $x+y+z=0$, then what is the value of $\frac{x^2}{yz}+\frac{y^2}{xz}+\frac{z^2}{xy}$?
Option 1: $0$
Option 2: $\frac{1}{3}$
Option 3: $1$
Option 4: $3$
Correct Answer: $3$
Solution : Given: $x+y+z=0$ So, $x^3+y^3+z^3=3xyz$ $\frac{x^2}{yz}+\frac{y^2}{xz}+\frac{z^2}{xy}$ = $\frac{x^3}{xyz}+\frac{y^3}{xyz}+\frac{z^3}{xyz}$ = $\frac{x^3+y^3+z^3}{xyz}$ = $\frac{3xyz}{xyz}$ = $3$ Hence, the correct answer is $3$.
