Question : A tangent AB at point A of a circle of radius 6 cm meets a line through the centre O at point B. If OB = 10 cm, then the length of AB (in cm) is equal to:
Option 1: 5
Option 2: 6
Option 3: 4
Option 4: 8
Correct Answer: 8
Solution : Given, AB is a tangent, OB = 10 cm and OA = 6 cm Since tangent is perpendicular to the radius at its point of contact, $\angle$OAB = 90$^\circ$ Using Pythagoras theorem, OB2 = AB2 + OA2 ⇒ 102 = AB

Option 2: DO
Option 3: EO
Option 4: FO
Correct Answer: DO
Solution : Given: VW, XU, ZS, BQ, ?
Add 2 to the positional value of the first letter and subtract 2 from the positional value of the second letter of the previous terms to get the first and second letters respectively of the next term. First letter
Question : If $\operatorname{tan} \theta=\frac{3}{4}$, then find the value of expression $\frac{1+\operatorname{sin} \theta}{1-\operatorname{sin} \theta}$.
Option 1: 4
Option 2: 3
Option 3: 8
Option 4: 5
Correct Answer: 4
Solution : Given: $\tan\theta=\frac{3}{4} =\frac{Perpendicular}{Base}$ Using Pythagoras' theorem, $AC=\sqrt{AB^2+BC^2}$ ⇒ $AC=\sqrt{3^2+4^2} =5$ $\sin\theta =\frac {\text {Perpendicular}}{\text {Hypotenuse} } = \frac{3}{5}$ Now, $\frac{1+\sin\theta}{1-\sin\theta} = \frac{1+\frac{3}{5}}{1-\frac{3}{5}} =\frac{8}{2}=4$ Hence, the correct answer is 4.
Question : Directions: In a certain code language, BOUCLE is coded as AJYSKZ. What is the code for BOUDIN in that code language?
Option 1: JGGSKZ
Option 2: JGZKSZ
Option 3: JGZSKZ
Option 4: JGJSKB
Correct Answer: JGZSKZ
Solution : Given: BOUCLE is coded as AJYSKZ.
Subtract 2 and 4 alternatively in the place value of each letter of BOUCLE and write the letters in reverse order, to get the required code. – Thus, BOUCLE is coded as AJYSKZ. Similarly, follow the same pattern for
Question : If the total surface area of a cube is 96 cm2, its volume is:
Option 1: 56 cm3
Option 2: 16 cm3
Option 3: 64 cm3
Option 4: 36 cm3
Correct Answer: 64 cm3
Solution : Given: Total surface area of cube = 96 cm2 Let the sides of the cube be $a$ cm. ⇒ $6a^2 = 96$ ⇒ $a^2 = 16$ ⇒ $a = 4$ Volume of the cube $=a^3 =4^3= 64$ cm3 Hence, the correct
