Question : The area of two similar triangles TUV and PQR are $18 \ \text{cm}^2$ and $32 \ \text{cm}^2$, respectively. If $TU=6\ \text{cm}$, then PQ is equal to:
Option 1: 4 cm
Option 2: 8 cm
Option 3: 2 cm
Option 4: 64 cm
Correct Answer: 8 cm
Solution : If TUV and PQR are similar triangles, then $\frac{\text{Area of triangle TUV}}{\text{Area of triangle PQR}}=\frac{TU^2}{PQ^2}$ ⇒ $\frac{18}{32}=\frac{6^2}{PQ^2}$ ⇒ $PQ^2=\frac{36\times 32}{18}$ ⇒ $PQ^2=64$ ⇒ $PQ=\sqrt{64}=8$ cm Hence, the correct answer is 8 cm.

Question : The sum of the angles made by a chord at the centre and on the major arc of a circle is 225°. What will be the angle made at the major arc of this circle?
Option 1: 125 degrees
Option 2: 150 degrees
Option 3: 90 degrees
Option 4: 75 degrees
Correct Answer: 75 degrees
Solution : Let the angle at the centre be $2x$ and the angle at the major arc be $x$ $2x + x = 225°$ ⇒ $3x = 225°$ ⇒ $x = \frac{225°}{3}$ ⇒ $x = 75°$ Hence, the correct answer is 75 degrees.
