Question : Directions: If a mirror is placed on the line MN, then which of the answer figures is the right mirror image of the given figure?
Option 1:
Option 2:
Option 3:
Option 4:
Correct Answer:
Solution : As per the mirror image properties, closer things appear close to the mirror in the reflection. According to the information provided, if the mirror is placed on the right side of the figure (on line MN), the right of the reflected image will appear as the
Question : What is the value of $\frac{4}{3}\left(\sin ^2 35^{\circ}+\sin ^2 55^{\circ}\right) ?$
Option 1: $\frac{2}{3}$
Option 2: $\frac{4}{3}$
Option 3: $\frac{8}{9}$
Option 4: $\frac{3}{4}$
Correct Answer: $\frac{4}{3}$
Solution : $\frac{4}{3}(\sin^2 35^{\circ}+\sin^2 55^{\circ})$ $=\frac{4}{3}(\sin^2 35^{\circ}+\sin^2(90^{\circ}-35^{\circ}))$ $=\frac{4}{3}(\sin^2 35^{\circ}+\cos^235^\circ)$ $=\frac{4}{3}\times1$ $=\frac{4}{3}$ Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{4}{3}$.
Question : Directions: Read the given statements and conclusions carefully. Assuming that the information given in the statements is true, even if it appears to be at variance with commonly known facts, decide which of the given conclusions logically follow(s) from the statements. Statements: All flags are symbols. All symbols are prides. Some prides are bright. Conclusions: (I) All flags are pride. (II) Some flags are bright is a possibility. (III) Some symbols are bright is a possibility.
Option 1: Only conclusion I follows
Option 2: Only conclusion II follows
Option 3: All conclusions I, II and III follow
Option 4: Both conclusions I and II follow
Correct Answer: All conclusions I, II and III follow
Solution : According to the given statements, the following Venn diagram can be drawn –
Let's analyse the conclusions – Conclusion I: All flags are pride – From the above diagram, it can be seen that the circle of flags is
Question : $P(4,2)$ and $R(–2,0)$ are vertices of a rhombus $PQRS$. What is the equation of diagonal $QS$?
Option 1: $x–3y=–2$
Option 2: $3x+y=4$
Option 3: $3x+y=–4$
Option 4: $x–3y=2$
Correct Answer: $3x+y=4$
Solution : $QS$ perpendicularly bisects the diagonal joining $P(4,2)$ and $R(–2,0)$ at $O$, thus $O$ is the mid-point of $PR$ and $QS$. Co-ordinates of point $O$ = $(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2},\frac{y_1+y_2}{2})$ = $(\frac{4–2}{2},\frac{2+0}{2})=(1,1)$ The slope of the straight line $PR$ = $\frac{y_2–y_1}{x_2–x_1}=\frac{0–2}{–2–4}$ = $\frac{–2}{–6}=\frac{1}{3}$ We know that $m_1m_2=–1$ $(\because PR\perp
Question : Directions: Select the option that is related to the fifth number in the same way as the first number is related to the second number and the third number is related to the fourth number. 12 : 36 :: 18 : 81 :: 56 : ?
Option 1: 784
Option 2: 961
Option 3: 841
Option 4: 900
Correct Answer: 784
Solution : Given: 12 : 36 :: 18 : 81 :: 56 : ?
Like, 12 : 36→12 ÷ 2 = 6; 62 = 36 And, 18 : 81→18 ÷ 2 = 9; 92 = 81 Similarly, follow the same pattern for 56 : ?→56
