Question : A line passing through the origin perpendicularly cuts the line $3x–2y=6$ at point M. Find the co-ordinates of M.
Option 1: $(\frac{18}{13},\frac{12}{13})$
Option 2: $(\frac{18}{13},-\frac{12}{13})$
Option 3: $(-\frac{18}{13},-\frac{12}{13})$
Option 4: $(-\frac{18}{13},\frac{12}{13})$
Correct Answer: $(\frac{18}{13},-\frac{12}{13})$
Solution : Given: The line $3x–2y=6$. -------------------------------(1) Comparing this to $y=mx+c$, we have, ⇒ $2y=3x–6$ ⇒ $y=\frac{3x–6}{2}$ ⇒ $y=\frac{3x}{2}–3$ $m=\frac{3}{2}$ and $c=–3$ Since the lines are perpendicular to each other, $m_1×m_2=–1$ ⇒ $\frac{3}{2}×m_2=–1$ ⇒ $m_2=\frac{–2}{3}$ The line is passing through the origin. So, $c=0$ ⇒ $y=mx$ ⇒
Question : Directions: The sub-divided diagram given below depicts the result of B.Com. students of the college for 3 years. Study the graph and answer the given questions.
What was the pass percentage in 2008?
Option 1: $33\frac{1}{3}$%
Option 2: $82\frac{6}{17}$%
Option 3: $75$%
Option 4: $85$%
Correct Answer: $75$%
Solution : Total students appeared in 2008 = 50 + 70 + 60 + 60 = 240 Passed students in 2008 = 50 + 70 + 60 = 180 So the pass percentage in 2008 = $\frac{180}{240}×100=75$% Hence, the correct answer is 75%.
