Question : The diameter of a circle is 20 cm. The length of a chord AB is 10 cm. What will be the angle made by this chord at the centre of this circle?

Option 1: 75°

Option 2: 45°

Option 3: 60°

Option 4: 90°

Team Careers360 24th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 60°


Solution :
Radius = $\frac{\text{Diameter}}{2}$
In an equilateral triangle, since the three sides are equal the three angles opposite to the equal sides, are equal in measure.
OA = OB = AB = 10 cm
⇒ $\triangle$OAB is an equilateral triangle.
So, $\angle$OAB = $\angle$OBA = $\angle$AOB

Question : If $\left(\mathrm{k}+\frac{1}{\mathrm{k}}\right)^2=9$, then what is the value of $\mathrm{k}^3+\frac{1}{\mathrm{k}^3} ?$

Option 1: 27

Option 2: 18

Option 3: 15

Option 4: 21

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 18


Solution : $\left(\mathrm{k}+\frac{1}{\mathrm{k}}\right)^2=9$ 
$⇒\left(\mathrm{k}+\frac{1}{\mathrm{k}}\right) = 3$
$⇒\left(\mathrm{k}+\frac{1}{\mathrm{k}}\right)^3 = 3^3$
$⇒\mathrm{k}^3+ \frac{1}{\mathrm{k}^3}+3×\mathrm{k}×\frac{1}{\mathrm{k}}(\mathrm{k}+\frac{1}{\mathrm{k}})=27$
$⇒ \mathrm{k}^3 + \frac{1}{\mathrm{k}^3}=27- 3(\mathrm{k} + \frac{1}{\mathrm{k}} )$
$⇒\mathrm{k}^3 + \frac{1}{\mathrm{k}^3} = 27 - 3\times3$
$⇒\mathrm{k}^3 + \frac{1}{\mathrm{k}^3}=18$
Hence, the correct answer is 18.

Question : If $\left(x-\frac{1}{x-2}\right)=7$, then the value of $(x-2)^3-\frac{1}{(x-2)^3}$ is:

Option 1: 130

Option 2: 115

Option 3: 140

Option 4: 125

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 140


Solution : Given:
$\left(x-\frac{1}{x-2}\right)=7$
⇒ $\left(x-2-\frac{1}{x-2}\right)=5$
⇒ $\left(x-2-\frac{1}{x-2}\right)^3=5^3$
⇒ $(x-2)^3 - (\frac{1}{x-2})^3-3×(x-2)×(\frac{1}{x-2})\left(x-2-\frac{1}{x-2}\right)=125$
⇒ $(x-2)^3 - (\frac{1}{x-2})^3=125+(3×5)$
$\therefore (x-2)^3 - (\frac{1}{x-2})^3=140$
Hence, the correct answer is 140.

Question : How many solid spherical balls of radius 6 cm can be made by melting a solid hemisphere of radius 12 cm?

Option 1: 4

Option 2: 2

Option 3: 10

Option 4: 8

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 4


Solution : The radius of a spherical ball, $r_1$ = 6 cm
The radius of the solid hemisphere, $r_2$ = 12 cm
Volume of a sphere = $\frac{4}{3}\pi{r_1^3}$
Volume of a hemisphere = $\frac{2}{3}\pi{r_2^3}$
Let n numbers of spherical balls be made.
So, $\text{n} \times\frac{4}{3}\pi\times6^3 = \frac{2}{3}\pi\times12^3$
