Question : In $\triangle$ABC, $\angle$A = $90^{\circ}$, BP and CQ are two medians. Then the value of $\frac{BP^2 + CQ^2}{BC^2}$ is:
Option 1: $\frac{4}{5}$
Option 2: $\frac{5}{4}$
Option 3: $\frac{3}{4}$
Option 4: $\frac{3}{5}$
Correct Answer: $\frac{5}{4}$
Solution : Since BP and CQ are two medians. So, Q and P are midpoints of AB and AC respectively. AQ = BQ = $\frac{1}{2}$AB AP = CP = $\frac{1}{2}$AC In $\triangle$AQC, $\angle$A = $90^{\circ}$ By Pythagoras theorem, ⇒ CQ2 = AC2 + QA2
Question : On selling 14 notebooks a seller makes a profit equal to the selling price of 9 notebooks. Find his percentage of profit. (The selling price of all notebooks is the same. The cost price of all notebooks is the same.)
Option 1: 210%
Option 2: 180%
Option 3: 140%
Option 4: 130%
Correct Answer: 180%
Solution : Given, Notebooks sold = 14 Profit = Selling price of 9 notebooks Selling price = Cost price + Profit and Profit% = $\frac{\text{Profit}}{\text{Cost price}}\times 100$ Let's assume that the selling price of 1 notebook is 'SP' and the cost price of 1 notebook is 'CP'.
Question : $\triangle \mathrm{MNO}$ is similar to $\triangle \mathrm{STU}$. Perimeters of $\triangle \mathrm{MNO}$ and $\triangle \mathrm{STU}$ are 80 cm and 200 cm respectively. If ON = 25 cm, then what is the length of TU?
Option 1: 59 cm
Option 2: 61 cm
Option 3: 62.5 cm
Option 4: 60.5 cm
Correct Answer: 62.5 cm
Solution : The perimeter of $\triangle$MNO = 80 cm The perimeter of $\triangle$STU = 200 cm $\triangle$MNO is similar to $\triangle$STU, if ON = 25 cm $\frac{\text{Perimeter of $\triangle$MNO}}{\text{Perimeter of $\triangle$STU}} = \frac{\text{ON}}{\text{TU}}$ ⇒ $\frac{80}{200} = \frac{25}{\text{TU}}$ ⇒ TU = $25\times{\frac{200}{80}}$ $\therefore$ TU = 62.5 cm
Question : In figure, $\angle \mathrm{ADB}$ is equal to:
Option 1: $40^\circ$
Option 2: $60^\circ$
Option 3: $80^\circ$
Option 4: $50^\circ$
Correct Answer: $80^\circ$
Solution : Given, $\angle ECA=20^\circ$, $\angle DCE=30^\circ$ and $\angle DAC=30^\circ$ By exterior angle property, $\angle ADB=\angle DCA+\angle DAC$ ⇒ $\angle ADB=\angle ECA+\angle DCE+\angle DAC$ ⇒ $\angle ADB=20^\circ+30^\circ+30^\circ$ ⇒ $\angle ADB=80^\circ$ Hence, the correct answer is $80^\circ$.
