Question : A direct common tangent is drawn to two circles of radius 25 cm and 20 cm. The centres of the two circles are 35 cm apart. What is the length (in cm) of the tangent?

Option 1: $25 \sqrt{2}$

Option 2: $25 \sqrt{3}$

Option 3: $20 \sqrt{3}$

Option 4: $20 \sqrt{2}$

Team Careers360 14th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $20 \sqrt{3}$


Solution : The length of the direct common tangent ($D$) between two circles, where \(d\) is the distance between the centres of the two circles and \(r_1\) and \(r_2\) are the radii of the two circles.
$D=\sqrt{d^2 - (r_1 - r_2)^2}$
Given that \(d \) =

Question : In $\triangle X Y Z, \angle YXZ=90°$, P is a point on side YZ such that XP is perpendicular to YZ. If XP = YP = 10 cm then what will be the value of PZ?

Option 1: 8 cm

Option 2: 9 cm

Option 3: 12 cm

Option 4: 10 cm

Team Careers360 24th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 10 cm


Solution :
In $ΔXYZ$,
$\angle YXZ = 90°$
If $\angle Y = θ$, then $\angle Z = 90° - θ$ 
In $ΔXPY$,
$\angle YPX = 90°$ [Given]
⇒ $\angle Y = \angle YXP = θ$ [As XP = PY]
In $ΔXPZ$,
⇒ $\angle XPZ = 90°$

Question : Shivam purchased two watches, the first for Rs. 12000 and the second for Rs. 20,000. He sold both watches, the first one at a profit of 10 percent and the second at a loss of 20 percent. What is the overall profit or loss?

Option 1: Profit = Rs. 2600

Option 2: Loss = Rs. 2800

Option 3: Loss = Rs. 2400

Option 4: Profit = Rs. 2200

Team Careers360 14th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Loss = Rs. 2800


Solution : Given:
First watch price = Rs. 12,000
Profit percentage = 10%
⇒ Profit on the first watch = $\frac{10}{100} ×$ 12,000 = Rs. 1,200
Second watch price = Rs. 20,000
Loss percentage = 20%
⇒ Loss on the second watch = $\frac{20}{100}
