Question : The thread of a kite makes an angle of 60° with the horizontal plane. If the length of the thread is 80 m, then the vertical height of the kite will be:

Option 1: $\frac{40}{\sqrt{3}}$ metres

Option 2: $\frac{80}{\sqrt{3}}$ metres

Option 3: $80$ metres

Option 4: $40\sqrt{3}$ metres

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $40\sqrt{3}$ metres


Solution :
AB = Length of thread = 80 metres
BC = The vertical height of the kite
∠BAC = 60°
In $\triangle$ABC,
$\sin 60° = \frac{BC}{AB}$
⇒ $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}=\frac{BC}{80}$
$\therefore BC = 40\sqrt{3}$ metres
So, the vertical height of the kite is $40\sqrt{3}$ metres.
Hence, the

Question : What is the area (in unit squares) of the triangle enclosed by the graphs of $2 x+5 y=12, x+y=3$ and the x-axis?

Option 1: 2.5

Option 2: 3.5

Option 3: 3

Option 4: 4

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 3


Solution :
The area of a triangle enclosed by two lines and the x-axis can be found by determining the points where the lines intersect the x-axis and each other.
The line $2x + 5y = 12$ intersects the x-axis when $y = 0$, which gives $x

Question : If $x-\frac{1}{x}=-6$, what will be the value of $x^5-\frac{1}{x^5}?$

Option 1: –8898

Option 2: –8896

Option 3: –8886

Option 4: –8892

Team Careers360 24th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: –8886


Solution : Given: $x-\frac{1}{x}=-6$ ----------------(equation1)
Squaring both sides of equation 1, we get:
⇒ $x^2+\frac{1}{x^2}-2=(-6)^2$
⇒ $x^2+\frac{1}{x^2}=38$
Cubing both sides of equation 1, we get:
⇒ $x^3-\frac{1}{x^3}-3×x×\frac{1}{x}(x-\frac{1}{x})=(-6)^3$
⇒ $x^3-\frac{1}{x^3}=-216+3×(-6)$
⇒ $x^3-\frac{1}{x^3}=-234$
Now, $(x^2+\frac{1}{x^2})(x^3-\frac{1}{x^3})=38×(-234)$
⇒ $(x^5-\frac{1}{x^5})+(x-\frac{1}{x})=(-8892)$
⇒ $(x^5-\frac{1}{x^5})+(-6)=(-8892)$
$\therefore(x^5-\frac{1}{x^5})= -8886$
Hence, the correct answer is –8886.

Question : A circular arc whose radius is 4 cm makes an angle of 45º at the centre. Find the perimeter of the sector formed. (Take $\pi=\frac{22}{7}$)

Option 1: $\frac{78}{7} \mathrm{~cm}$

Option 2: $\frac{72}{7} \mathrm{~cm}$

Option 3: $\frac{74}{7} \mathrm{~cm}$

Option 4: $\frac{76}{7} \mathrm{~cm}$

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\frac{78}{7} \mathrm{~cm}$


Solution : A circular arc whose radius is 4 cm makes an angle of 45° at the centre.
Here, radius($r$) = 4 cm and central angle($\theta$) = 45°.
We know,
The perimeter of the sector in circle = $2\pi r×(\frac{\theta}{360°})$ + 2 × $r$
= $2×\frac{22}{7}×4×\frac{45°}{360°}$

Question : Ramesh sold a book at a loss of 30%. If he had sold it for Rs. 140 more, he would have made a profit of 40%. The cost price of the book is:

Option 1: Rs. 280

Option 2: Rs. 200

Option 3: Rs. 260

Option 4: Rs. 300

Team Careers360 24th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Rs. 200


Solution : Loss = 30% of cost price
⇒ Selling price = cost price – loss = 70% of cost price
70% of cost Price + Rs.140 = cost price + profit
Profit = 40% of cost price
⇒ 70% of cost price + Rs. 140
