Question : The radius of a circle is 5 cm and the length of one of its chords is 8 cm. Find the distance of the chord from the centre.
Option 1: 3 cm
Option 2: 4 cm
Option 3: 5 cm
Option 4: 2 cm
Correct Answer: 3 cm
Solution : Radius of circle with centre $O$ is $OB$ = $5$ cm Length of chord $AB = 8$ cm We know that perpendicular from the centre to the chord bisects the chord. So, $OD \perp AB$ which bisects $AB$ at $D$. ∴ $AD=DB=4$ cm In
Question : If $\sec A=\frac{17}{15}$, then what is the value of $\cot A$?
Option 1: $\frac{15}{21}$
Option 2: $\frac{15}{7}$
Option 3: $\frac{8}{15}$
Option 4: $\frac{15}{8}$
Correct Answer: $\frac{15}{8}$
Solution : Given: $\sec A=\frac{17}{15}$ $⇒\cos A = \frac{15}{17}$ $⇒\sin A = \sqrt{1-\cos^2 A}= \sqrt{1-(\frac{15}{17})^2}$ = $\sqrt{\frac{64}{289}}$ = $\frac{8}{17}$ $\therefore \cot A = \frac{\cos A}{\sin A} = \frac{\frac{15}{17}}{\frac{8}{17}} = \frac{15}{8}$ Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{15}{8}$.
Question : Which of the following cost curve is never 'U' shaped?
Option 1: Marginal cost curve .
Option 2: Average variable cost curve .
Option 3: Average fixed cost curve .
Option 4: Average cost curve
