Question : If the radii of two circles are 7 cm and 4 cm and the length of the transverse common tangent is 13 cm, then the distance between the two centres is:

Option 1: $\sqrt{290}$ cm

Option 2: $\sqrt{190}$ cm

Option 3: $\sqrt{128}$ cm

Option 4: $\sqrt{240}$ cm

Team Careers360 23rd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\sqrt{290}$ cm


Solution : Given, $r{_1}$ = 7 cm and $r{_2}$ = 4 cm
The length of the transverse common tangent = 13 cm
The length of a transverse common tangent $=\sqrt{d^2−(r{_1}+r{_2})^2}$
⇒ $13=\sqrt{d^2−(7+4)^2}$
⇒ $13^2=d^2-11^2$
⇒ $169=d^2-121$
⇒ $d^2=290$
⇒ $d=\sqrt{290}$ cm
Hence, the correct answer is

Question : Rohita offers a discount of 20% on the marked price of an object. Due to the recession of the market, she further offers a discount of 30% on its sale. What is the equivalent single discount percentage corresponding to these two successive discount offers?

Option 1: 42%

Option 2: 56%

Option 3: 40%

Option 4: 44%

Team Careers360 22nd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 44%


Solution : Single equivalent discount = $(a+b-\frac{a×b}{100}$)%, where $a$% and $b$% are successive discounts.
Single Discount of 20% and 30%
$=20 + 30 - \frac{20\times30}{100}$
$= 50 - 6$
$= 44$%
Hence, the correct answer is 44%.
