Question : If $9 a+9 b+9 c=81$ and $4 a b+4 b c+4 c a=160$, then what is the value of $6 a^2+6 b^2+6 c^2$?
Option 1: 1
Option 2: 3
Option 3: 4
Option 4: 6
Correct Answer: 6
Solution : $9a + 9b + 9c = 81$ ⇒ $a + b + c = 9$.............(i) $4ab + 4bc + 4ca = 160$ ⇒ $ab + bc + ca = 40$..................(ii) We know that, $(a + b + c)^2 = a^2+ b^2 + c^2 + 2ab

Question : TF is a tower with point F on the ground. The angle of elevation of T from A is $\tan\;x^{\circ}=\frac{2}{5}$ and AF = 200 m. The angle of elevation of T from a nearer point B is $y^{\circ}$ with BF = 80 m. The value of $y$ is:
Option 1: 60$^{\circ}$
Option 2: 30$^{\circ}$
Option 3: 75$^{\circ}$
Option 4: 45$^{\circ}$
Correct Answer: 45$^{\circ}$
Solution : Let Height of the tower = $TF = h$ metre $\angle TAF = x^{\circ}$, $\angle TBF = y^{\circ}$ $BF = 80$ metres and $AF = 200$ metres In $\Delta AFT$, $\tan x^{\circ} = \frac{TF}{AF}$ ⇒ $\frac{2}5=\frac{h}{200}$ ⇒ $ h=80$ m in $\Delta BFT$, $\tan y^{\circ}
