Question : If $\sin (A-B)=\frac{1}{2}$ and $\sin (A+B)=1$, where A and B are positive acute angles and $ A \geq B$ then A and B are respectively:
Option 1: 80° and 10°
Option 2: 60° and 30°
Option 3: 70° and 20°
Option 4: 50° and 40°
Correct Answer: 60° and 30°
Solution : $\sin (A-B)=\frac{1}{2}$ ⇒ $\sin (A-B)=\sin 30^\circ$ ⇒ $(A - B) = 30^\circ$ ⇒ $A = 30^\circ + B$ And $\sin (A+B)=1$ ⇒ $\sin (A+B)=\sin 90^\circ$ ⇒ $(A+B) = 90^\circ$ ⇒ $30^\circ + B + B = 90^\circ$ ⇒ $2B = 60^\circ$ ⇒ $B

Question : A vessel initially contains 60 litres of milk. First, 12 litres of milk is taken out from the vessel and replaced with water. The process is repeated a second time by taking out the same amount of milk and replacing it with water. What is the final ratio of milk to water in the resultant mixture?
Option 1: 15 : 10
Option 2: 16 : 9
Option 3: 9 : 5
Option 4: 16 : 10
Correct Answer: 16 : 9
Solution : Given: A vessel contains 60 litres of milk. Remaining milk = $x\left ( 1-\frac{r}{100} \right )^{n}$, Where $x$ is the total quantity, $r$ is the replacement quantity and $n$ is the number of replacements. = $60\left ( 1-\frac{12}{60} \right )^{2}$ = $60\times \left
Question : A chord of length 40 cm is at a distance of 15 cm from the centre. What is the length of the chord of the same circle which is at a distance of 20 cm from the centre of the circle?
Option 1: 15 cm
Option 2: 25 cm
Option 3: 45 cm
Option 4: 30 cm
Correct Answer: 30 cm
Solution : The length of the chord can be calculated using the Pythagorean theorem. If we consider the radius of the circle as $r$, the distance of the chord from the centre as $d$, and the length of the chord as $l$. $ r^2 = \left(\frac{l}{2}\right)^2
Question : Directions: In the following question, four number pairs are given. The number on the left side of (–) is related to the number on the right side of (–) with some logic, rule, or relationship. Three are similar on the basis of the same logic, rule, or relationship.
