Question : The ratio of the angles of a triangle is 2 : 2 : 5. What is the largest angle?

Option 1: $120^\circ$

Option 2: $80^\circ$

Option 3: $110^\circ$

Option 4: $100^\circ$

Team Careers360 17th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $100^\circ$


Solution : Let the angles of the triangle be $2x, 2x,$ and $5x$ respectively.
We know that the angles of a triangle are $180^\circ$.
Therefore, by angle sum property:
$2x + 2x + 5x = 180^\circ$
⇒ $9x = 180^\circ$
$\therefore x = 20^\circ$
So, the largest

Question : ABC is an isosceles right-angled triangle with $\angle$B = 90°. On the sides AC and AB, two equilateral triangles ACD and ABE have been constructed. The ratio of the area of $\triangle$ABE and $\triangle$ACD is:

Option 1: $1 : 3$

Option 2: $2 : 3$

Option 3: $1 : 2$

Option 4: $1 : \sqrt{2}$

Team Careers360 11th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $1 : 2$


Solution :
Given:
$\angle$ABC = 90°, AB = BC
In $\triangle$ABC, AC2 = AB2 + BC2 = AB2 + AB2 = 2AB2
Since, $\triangle$ACD $\sim$ $\triangle$ABE,
$\frac{\text{area of} \triangle ABE}{\text{area of} \triangle ACD}=\frac{AB^2}{AC^2}$
⇒ $\frac{\text{area of} \triangle ABE}{\text{area of}

Question : If $6 \cot \theta=5$, then find the value of $\frac{(6 \cos \theta+\sin \theta)}{(6 \cos\theta-4 \sin\theta)}$

Option 1: 5

Option 2: 1

Option 3: 6

Option 4: 0

Team Careers360 19th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 6


Solution : $6 \cot \theta = 5$
⇒ $\cot \theta = \frac{5}{6}$
Now, $\frac{(6 \cos \theta+\sin \theta)}{(6 \cos \theta-4\sin \theta)}$
Dividing numerator and denominator by $\sin \theta$ in the above expression
⇒ $\frac{(6 \cos \theta+\sin \theta)}{(6 \cos \theta-4\sin \theta)}=\frac{(6\cot \theta + 1)}{(6\cot \theta-4)}$
$=\frac{6 \times \frac{5}{6} +

Question : A train is 250 meters long. If the train takes 50 seconds to cross a tree by the railway line, the speed of the train in km/h is:

Option 1: 10

Option 2: 9

Option 3: 5

Option 4: 18

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 18


Solution : Given: A train is 250 meters long.
The train takes 50 seconds to cross a tree.
So, the speed of the train = $\frac{250}{50}$ = 5 m/sec
Converting this to km/h, we have,
⇒ $5×\frac{18}{5}$ = 18 km/h
Hence, the correct answer is 18.
