Question : A vertical pole and vertical tower are standing on the same level of ground. The height of the pole is 10 m. From the top of the pole, the angle of elevation of the top of the tower and the angle of depression of the foot of the tower are 60° and 30° respectively. The height of the tower is:

Option 1: 20 m

Option 2: 30 m

Option 3: 40 m

Option 4: 50 m

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 40 m


Solution :
Let $AB$ be the tower and $CD$ be the pole.
$CD = BE = 10$ m
In $\triangle BCE$,
$\tan$ 30° = $\frac{10}{CE}$
⇒ $\frac{1}{\sqrt3}$ = $\frac{10}{CE}$
⇒ $CE = 10\sqrt3$
In $\triangle ACE$,
$\tan$ 60° = $\frac{h}{CE}$
⇒ $\sqrt3$ = $\frac{h}{10\sqrt3}$
⇒ $h$

Question : The marked price of an article is 150 percent of the cost price. If a 20 percent discount is given, then what will be the profit percentage?

Option 1: 20 percent

Option 2: 12.5 percent

Option 3: 25 percent

Option 4: 10 percent

Marked Price = 150% of cost price
$\therefore$ $\text{MP} = 1.5\text{C}$
After a 20% discount, the selling price (SP) is given by:
SP $=$ Marked Price $−$ Discount
⇒ SP $=1.5\text{C}−0.2\times1.5\text{C}=1.2\text{C}$
⇒ Profit $=$ SP $−$ CP $=1.2\text{C}−\text{C}=0.2\text{C}$

Question : If (2, 0) is a solution of the linear equation $2x+3y = k$, then the value of $k$ is:

Option 1: 6

Option 2: 5

Option 3: 2

Option 4: 4

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024
