Question : The sides of a right triangle $\triangle ABC$ are a, b, and c where c is the hypotenuse. What will be the radius of the circle of this triangle?
Option 1: $\frac{\left (a+b+c \right)}{2}$
Option 2: $\frac{\left (a+b-c \right)}{2}$
Option 3: $\frac{\left (b+c-a \right)}{2}$
Option 4: $\frac{\left (a+c-b \right)}{2}$
Correct Answer: $\frac{\left (a+b-c \right)}{2}$
Solution : Let the circle touch the sides BC, CA, and AB of the right triangle ABC at D, E, and F, respectively, where BC = a, CA = b and AB = c Since lengths of tangents drawn from an external point are equal.
Question : Find the greatest number that exactly divides 15, 30, and 40.
Option 1: 3
Option 2: 40
Option 3: 5
Option 4: 15
Correct Answer: 5
Solution : 15 = 5 × 3 30 = 5 × 3 × 2 40 = 5 × 2 × 2 × 2 $\therefore$ HCF of 15, 30, and 40 = 5 Hence, the correct answer is 5.
Question : Directions: If 72 A 7 B 9 = 16, and 52 A 5 B 7 = 12, then 92 A 3 B 8 = ?
Option 1: 17
Option 2: 92
Option 3: 86
Option 4: 35
Correct Answer: 35
Solution : Given: 72 A 7 B 9 = 16; 52 A 5 B 7 = 12
72 A 7 B 9 = 16 = ((7)2 ÷ 7) + 9 = (49 ÷ 7) + 9 = 7 + 9 = 16 5
Question : A dealer sells his goods at a 10% loss on the cost price but uses 25% less weight. What is his profit percentage?
Option 1: 35%
Option 2: 20%
Option 3: 25%
Option 4: 15%
Correct Answer: 20%
Solution : Let the cost price of 1 kg of goods be Rs. 100. If the dealer sells his goods at a 10% loss, he sells 1 kg of goods for Rs. 90. However, he uses 25% less weight, which means he actually gives only 0.75 kg

Option 4: Colloid, suspension, milk and toothpaste
Correct Answer: The solution, salt water and Brass
Solution : The correct answer is Solution, salt water and brass.
Solution, saltwater and brass are examples of homogeneous mixtures. A solution is formed when one substance (the solute) is uniformly dissolved in another substance (the solvent) at the molecular

Question : The value of $\frac{1 \frac{1}{2} \div 3 \frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{2} \div \frac{13}{14}+\frac{1}{5}}{\frac{1}{5} \times 3 \frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{3} \div 1 \frac{3}{4} \times 3 \frac{1}{2}}$ is:
Option 1: 33
Option 2: 36
Option 3: 38
Option 4: 40
Correct Answer: 36
Solution : $\frac{1 \frac{1}{2} \div 3 \frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{2} \div \frac{13}{14}+\frac{1}{5}}{\frac{1}{5} \times 3 \frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{3} \div 1 \frac{3}{4} \times 3 \frac{1}{2}}$ = $\frac{\frac{1 \frac{1}{2}}{3 \frac{1}{4}} + \frac{\frac{1}{2}}{\frac{13}{14}}+\frac{1}{5}}{\frac{1}{5} ×\ 3 \frac{1}{2} - \frac{\frac{1}{3}} {1\frac{3}{4}} \times 3 \frac{1}{2}}$ = $\frac{\frac{\frac{3}{2}}{\frac{13}{4}} +\frac{7}{13} + \frac{1}{5}}{\frac{1}{5} \times \frac{7}{2} - \frac{\frac{1}{3}} {\frac{7}{4}} \times \frac{7}{2}}$ = $\frac{\frac{6}{13}
