Question : If $4 x^2+y^2=40$ and $x y=6$, find the positive value of $2 x+y$.

Option 1: 8

Option 2: 6

Option 3: 5

Option 4: 4

Team Careers360 24th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 8


Solution : We have,
$(2x+y)^2=(2x)^2+y^2+2\times 2x \times y$
$⇒(2x+y)^2=(4x^2+y^2)+4xy$
$⇒(2x+y)^2=40+4\times 6$
$⇒(2x+y)^2=64$
$⇒2x+y=\pm \sqrt{64}$
$⇒2x+y=\pm 8$
The positive value is 8.
Hence, the correct answer is 8.

Question : The simple interest received on a sum is $\frac{25}{36}$ of the sum. The number of years is equal to the annual rate of interest. What is the annual rate of interest?

Option 1: 9.25 percent

Option 2: 10.25 percent

Option 3: 6.62 percent

Option 4: 8.33 percent

Team Careers360 11th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 8.33 percent


Solution : Rate of interest = $r$
Time = $r$
Let the sum value be $x$, then Simple Interest will be:
Simple Interest = $\frac{(x \times r \times r)}{100}$
⇒ $(\frac{25}{36})x = \frac{(x \times R^2)}{100}$
⇒ $(\frac{25}{36}) = \frac{(r^2)}{100}$
⇒ $r^2 = (\frac{25 \times 100}{36})$
⇒

Question : $ABCD$ is a cyclic quadrilateral of which $AB$ is the diameter. Diagonals $AC$ and $BD$ intersect at $E$. If $\angle DBC=35^\circ$, then $\angle AED$ measures _________

Option 1: 35$^\circ$

Option 2: 45$^\circ$

Option 3: 55$^\circ$

Option 4: 90$^\circ$

Team Careers360 10th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 55$^\circ$


Solution :
Given, a cyclic quadrilateral $ABCD$ with $AB$ as a diameter
And, $\angle DBC=35^\circ$
We know, $\angle ACB=90^\circ$ (angle in semicircle)
In $\triangle BEC$,
$\angle ECB+\angle EBC+\angle BEC=180^\circ$
or, $\angle BEC=180^\circ-90^\circ-35^\circ$
So, $\angle BEC=\angle AED = 55^\circ$ (vertically opposite angle)
Hence, the correct answer is 55$^\circ$.
