Question : AB is a chord in a circle with centre O. AB is produced to C such that BC is equal to the radius of the circle. C is joined to O and produced to meet the circle at D. If $\angle \mathrm{ACD}=32^{\circ}$, then the measure of $\angle \mathrm{AOD}$ is _____.
Option 1: 48°
Option 2: 96°
Option 3: 108°
Option 4: 80°
Correct Answer: 96°
Solution : In $\triangle$OBC OB = BC So, $\angle$ BOC = $\angle$ BCO = 32° Also, $\angle$ OBA = $\angle$ BOC + $\angle$ BCO = 32° + 32° = 64° Since OA = OB $\angle$ OAB = $\angle$ OBA In $\triangle$ AOB $\angle$ AOB + $\angle$ OAB
Question : Directions: In the following question a series is given, with one number missing. Choose the correct alternative from the given ones that will complete the series. 1, 2, 2, 4, 8, 32, ?
Option 1: 128
Option 2: 198
Option 3: 256
Option 4: 312
Correct Answer: 256
Solution : Given: 1, 2, 2, 4, 8, 32, ?
From the third term onwards, each term is the multiplication of the previous two terms in the series – 2 × 1 = 2; 2 × 2 = 4; 4 × 2 = 8; 8 × 4

Solution : Given: 1. Channel 2. Chariot 3. Charcoal 4. Chapel 5. Chamber 6. Chance
Step 1: Compare the first, second, and third letter of each word. Since all the words start with the same letter C and are followed by h
Question : In a $\triangle P Q R, \angle P: \angle Q: \angle R=3: 4: 8$. The shortest side and the longest side of the triangle, respectively, are:
Option 1: PQ and PR
Option 2: QR and PR
Option 3: PQ and QR
Option 4: QR and PQ
Correct Answer: QR and PQ
Solution : In $\triangle P Q R$, $\angle P: \angle Q: \angle R=3: 4: 8$ Let $\angle P= 3x,\angle Q=4x,\angle R=8x$ $\therefore \angle R$ is the largest angle and $\angle P$ is the smallest angle. The shortest side will be opposite to the smallest angle.
Question : Directions: Which number will replace the question mark (?) to complete the given series? 101, 182, 118, 167, ?
Option 1: 131
Option 2: 156
Option 3: 128
Option 4: 142
Correct Answer: 131
Solution : Given: 101, 182, 118, 167, ?
Add and subtract the square of the consecutive natural numbers alternatively, in decreasing order starting from 9, to get the required missing term –
So, 131 is the missing term in the series. Hence, the first option is correct.
Question : If $x=3 - 2\sqrt2$, then $\sqrt x+(\frac{1}{\sqrt x})$ is equal to:
Option 1: $0$
Option 2: $1$
Option 3: $2$
Option 4: $2\sqrt2$
Correct Answer: $2\sqrt2$
Solution : Given: $x = 3 - 2\sqrt{2}$ According to the question, Let $y = \sqrt{x}+\frac{1}{\sqrt{x}}$ Squaring both sides, $y^2 = x + \frac{1}{x}+2$ Put the value $x$, $y^2 = 3 - 2\sqrt{2} + \frac{1}{3-2\sqrt{2}} + 2$ or, $y^2 = 3 - 2\sqrt{2} + \frac{1}{3-2\sqrt{2}} × \frac{3+\sqrt{2}}{3
