Question : AB and BC are two chords of a circle with centre O. Both chords are on either side of the centre O. Point A and point C are connected to the centre O, such that $\angle B A O=36^{\circ}$ and $\angle B C O=48^{\circ}$. What is the degree measure of the angle subtended by the minor arc AC at the centre O?

Option 1: 136°

Option 2: 144°

Option 3: 120°

Option 4: 168°

Team Careers360 18th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 168°


Solution :
In $\triangle$BOC,
OB = OC (since they are radii)
$\angle$OBC = $\angle$OCB = 48°
$\angle$BOC = 180° – (48° + 48°) = 84°
In $\triangle$AOB,
OA = OB (since they are radii)
$\angle$OAB = $\angle$OBA = 36°
⇒ $\angle$AOB = 180° – (36° + 36°)

Question : There are 24 peaches, 36 apricots, and 60 bananas, and they have to be arranged in several rows in such a way that every row contains the same number of fruits of only one type. What is the minimum number of rows required for this to happen?

Option 1: 12

Option 2: 9

Option 3: 10

Option 4: 6

Team Careers360 23rd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 10


Solution : Minimum number of rows = Maximum number of fruits in a line
HCF of 24 peaches, 36 apricots, and 60 bananas = HCF of 24, 36, 60 = 12
Minimum number of rows = $\frac{24}{12} +\frac{36}{12} +\frac{60}{12}$ = (2 + 3 + 5) = 10
