Question : The value of $(\frac{1}{20}+\frac{1}{30}+\frac{1}{42}+\frac{1}{56}+\frac{1}{72}+\frac{1}{90})$ is:

Option 1: $\frac{1}{10}$

Option 2: $\frac{3}{5}$

Option 3: $\frac{3}{20}$

Option 4: $\frac{7}{20}$

$=(\frac{1}{20}+\frac{1}{30})+(\frac{1}{42}+\frac{1}{56})+(\frac{1}{72}+\frac{1}{90})$
$=(\frac{3+2}{60})+( \frac{4+3}{168})+( \frac{5+4}{360})$
$=(\frac{1}{12})+( \frac{1}{24})+( \frac{1}{40})$
$=\frac{10+5+3}{120}$
$=\frac{18}{120}$

Question : In $\triangle \mathrm{CAB}, \angle \mathrm{CAB}=90^{\circ}$ and $\mathrm{AD} \perp \mathrm{BC}$. If $\mathrm{AC}=24 \mathrm{~cm}, \mathrm{AB}=10 \mathrm{~cm}$. then find the value of $AD$ (in cm).

Option 1: 9.23

Option 2: 8.23

Option 3: 7.14

Option 4: 10.23

Team Careers360 18th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 9.23


Solution :
Given, In $\triangle \mathrm{CAB}, \angle \mathrm{CAB}=90^{\circ}$ and $\mathrm{AD} \perp \mathrm{BC}$.
$\mathrm{AC}=24 \mathrm{~cm}, \mathrm{AB}=10 \mathrm{~cm}$
Applying Pythagoras theorem,
$BC^2=AC^2+AB^2$
⇒ $BC^2 =24^2+10^2$
⇒ $BC = 26$ cm
Now, area of triangle = $\frac{1}{2}\times \text{base}\times \text{height}$
So, $\frac{1}{2}\times AC\times AB=\frac{1}{2}\times AD\times BC$
⇒ $24\times 10 = AD

Question : Find the value of the given expression.
$\left(2 \frac{1}{2}÷ 1 \frac{7}{8}\right) ÷\left(9 \frac{3}{8}÷ 11 \frac{2}{3} \text { of } \frac{1}{8}\right)$

Option 1: $\frac{33}{135}$

Option 2: $\frac{11}{135}$

Option 3: $\frac{28}{135}$

Option 4: $\frac{57}{135}$

Team Careers360 20th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\frac{28}{135}$


Solution : Consider, $\left(2 \frac{1}{2}÷ 1 \frac{7}{8}\right) ÷\left(9 \frac{3}{8}÷ 11 \frac{2}{3} \text { of } \frac{1}{8}\right)$
= $(\frac{5}{2}÷\frac{15}{8})÷\{\frac{75}{8}÷(\frac{35}{3}\times\frac{1}{8})\}$
= $(\frac{5}{2}\times\frac{8}{15})÷(\frac{75}{8}\times\frac{3}{35}\times\frac81)$
= $(\frac{4}{3})÷(\frac{15\times 3}{ 7})$
= $(\frac{4}{3})÷(\frac{15\times 3}{ 7})$
​​= $\frac{4}{3}\times\frac{7}{15\times 3}$
= $\frac{28}{135}$
Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{28}{135}$.
