Question : $\small \left ( 5^{2}+6^{2}+7^{2}+.....+10^{2} \right )$ is equal to:

Option 1: 330

Option 2: 345

Option 3: 355

Option 4: 360

Team Careers360 12th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 355


Solution : We know that $1^{2}+2^{2}+3^{2}+.....+n^{2}=\frac{n(n+1)(2n+1)}{6}$
So, $1^{2}+2^{2}+3^{2}+.....+10^{2}=\frac{10(10+1)(2\times 10+1)}{6}$-----------------(1)
Also, $1^{2}+2^{2}+.....+4^{2}=\frac{4(4+1)(2\times 4+1)}{6}$------------------------------(2)
Subtracting equation (2) from (1), we get,
$5^{2}+6^{2}+.....+10^{2}=\frac{10(10+1)(2\times 10+1)}{6}-\frac{4(4+1)(2\times 4+1)}{6}$
$\therefore5^{2}+6^{2}+.....+10^{2}=355$
Hence, the correct answer is 355.

Question : A ladder is resting against a wall, The angle between the foot of the ladder and the wall is 45o and the foot of the ladder is 6.6 m away from the wall. The length of the ladder (in m) is:

Option 1: $6.6 \times\sqrt{2}$

Option 2: $3.3 \times \sqrt{2}$

Option 3: $2.2 \times \sqrt{2}$

Option 4: $3.6 \times \sqrt{2}$

Team Careers360 21st Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $6.6 \times\sqrt{2}$


Solution : Let the length of the ladder as $L$.
$\cos\theta = \frac{\text{Base}​}{\text{Hypotenuse}}$
Since $\theta$ = 45º
So, cos 45º = $\frac{6.6}{L}$​
⇒ $\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$ = $\frac{6.6}{L}$
⇒ $L = \frac{6.6}{\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}}$
⇒ $L = {6.6}\times{\sqrt{2}}$
Hence, the correct answer is ${6.6}\times{\sqrt{2}}$.
