Question : Directions: Three of the following four triads are alike in a certain way as they are formed by performing the same mathematical operations among themselves and thus form a group. Which triad does NOT belong to that group?
Option 1: 24 : 25 : 5
Option 2: 35 : 36 : 6
Option 3: 8 : 15 : 3
Option 4: 3 : 10 : 2
Correct Answer: 35 : 36 : 6
Solution : Let's check the given options – First option: 24 : 25 : 5→(5)2 – 1 = 25 – 1 = 24; 5 × 5 = 25 Second option: 35 : 36 : 6→(6)2 – 1 = 36 – 1

Option 1: 32.9 m
Option 2: 33.4 m
Option 3: 36.9 m
Option 4: 24.8 m
Correct Answer: 32.9 m
Solution : Given, AB = 45 m In $\triangle$ABC $\tan$ 45° = $\frac{\text{AB}}{\text{BC}}$ ⇒ 1 = $\frac{45}{\text{BC}}$ ⇒ BC = 45 m In $\triangle$ABD $\tan 30° = \frac{\text{AB}}{\text{BD}}$ ⇒ $\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} = \frac{45}{\text{BD}}$ ⇒ BD = $45\sqrt{3}$ Also, BD = CD + BC ⇒ $45\sqrt{3}$ = CD
Question : If $\tan (A+B)=\sqrt{3}$ and $\tan (A-B)=\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}; 0°<(A+B)<90°; A > B$, then the values of $A$ and $B$ are respectively:
Option 1: 45° and 15°
Option 2: 15° and 45°
Option 3: 30° and 30°
Option 4: 60° and 30°
Correct Answer: 45° and 15°
Solution : Given: $\tan (A+B)=\sqrt{3}$ and $\tan (A-B)=\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$ $\tan (A+B)=\sqrt{3}=\tan60°$ ⇒ $A+B=60°$ .........................(1) Also, $\tan (A-B)=\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}=\tan30°$ ⇒ $A-B=30°$ ............................(2) Solving equations (1) and (2) we get, $A=45°$ and $B=15°$ Hence, the correct answer is 45° and 15°.
