Question : Directions: In the following question, select the related letters from the given alternatives. ATXJ : BVAN :: YMOU : ?
Option 1: ZORY
Option 2: HUVL
Option 3: UVXZ
Option 4: ASND
Correct Answer: ZORY
Solution : Given: ATXJ : BVAN :: YMOU : ?
Add consecutive numbers to the positional values of the term ATXJ to obtain the required code – A + 1 = B; T + 2 = V; X + 3 = A; J + 4 = N
Question : $\triangle{ABC}$ is a right angled triangle. $\angle \mathrm{C}=90°$, AB = 25 cm and BC = 20 cm. What is the value of $\mathrm{sec}\; A$?
Option 1: $\frac{5}{3}$
Option 2: $\frac{4}{5}$
Option 3: $\frac{4}{3}$
Option 4: $\frac{5}{4}$
Correct Answer: $\frac{5}{3}$
Solution : Given, AB = 25 cm and BC = 20 cm Using the Pythagoras theorem, $AB^2=BC^2+AC^2$ ⇒ $AC^2=25^2-20^2$ ⇒ $AC^2=625-400$ ⇒ $AC^2=225$ ⇒ $AC = 15$ cm We know, $\sec A =\frac{\text{Hypotenuse}}{\text{Base}}$ So, $\sec A = \frac{AB}{AC} = \frac{25}{15}= \frac{5}{3}$ Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{5}{3}$.
Question : Directions: After interchanging the given two signs what will be the values of equations (I) and (II) respectively? × and + I. 5 × 12 – 15 + 20 ÷ 25 II. 36 + 3 × 2 – 15 ÷ 5
Option 1: 17 and 35
Option 2: 50 and 55
Option 3: 5 and 107
Option 4: 10 and 100
Correct Answer: 5 and 107
Solution : Given: I. 5 × 12 – 15 + 20 ÷ 25 II. 36 + 3 × 2 – 15 ÷ 5
Equation I: 5 × 12 – 15 + 20 ÷ 25 On interchanging the mathematical signs, we get – = 5 +
