Question : A man standing on the bank of a river observes that the angle of elevation of the top of a tree just on the opposite bank is $60°$. But the angle of elevation is $30°$ from a point which is at a distance $20\sqrt{3}$ ft away from the bank. Then the height of the tree is:

Option 1: 60 ft

Option 2: 45 ft

Option 3: 30 ft

Option 4: 15 ft

Team Careers360 24th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 30 ft


Solution :

Let $h$ be the height of the tree and $x$ be the breadth of the river.
From the above figure we get,
$\tan60°=\frac{h}{x}$
⇒ $\sqrt{3}=\frac{h}{x}$
⇒ $x=\frac{h}{\sqrt{3}}$----------(equation 1)
Also, $\tan30°=\frac{h}{x+20\sqrt{3}}$ 
⇒ $\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}=\frac{h}{x+20\sqrt{3}}$
⇒ $x=h\sqrt{3}–20\sqrt{3}$ ---------(equation 2)
Now equalising the values of $x$ from both

Question : A circle and a square have the same area. The ratio of the side of the square to the radius of the circle will be:

Option 1: $\sqrt\pi:1$

Option 2: $1:\sqrt\pi$

Option 3: $(\pi)^2:1$

Option 4: $1:\sqrt2\pi$

Team Careers360 22nd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\sqrt\pi:1$


Solution : Given: A circle and a square have the same area.
We know that the area of the square is $a^2$, where $a$ is its side, and the area of the circle is $\pi\times r^2$, where $r$ is its radius.
According to the question,
$\pi\times r^2=a^2$

Question : In the given figure $\mathrm{PQRS}$, a square of side $20\;\mathrm{cm}$ and $\mathrm{SR}$ is extended to point $\mathrm{T}$. If the length of $\mathrm{QT}$ is $25\;\mathrm{cm}$, then what is the distance (in $\mathrm{cm}$) between the centres, $\mathrm{O_1}$ and $\mathrm{O_2}$, of the two circles?

Option 1: $5\sqrt{10}$

Option 2: $4\sqrt{10}$

Option 3: $2\sqrt{10}$

Option 4: $16\sqrt{2}$

Team Careers360 23rd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $5\sqrt{10}$


Solution :

We have, $\mathrm{QT}=25\;\mathrm{cm}$ and $\mathrm{QR=SR}=20\;\mathrm{cm}$
Construction: Join $\mathrm{O_1B}$ and $\mathrm{O_2C}$.
In $\triangle \mathrm{QRT}$,
$⇒\mathrm{QT^2=QR^2+RT^2}$
$⇒\mathrm{RT=15}\;\mathrm{cm}$ 
Inradius of triangle QRT $=\mathrm{\frac{15+20-25}{2} = 5\;\mathrm{cm}}$ 
$⇒\mathrm{O_2C=5\;\mathrm{cm}}$
Since, $\mathrm{O_1B=10}\;\mathrm{cm}$ and $\mathrm{AB=5\;\mathrm{cm}}$
$⇒\mathrm{O_1A= O_1B-AB=5\;\mathrm{cm}}$
$⇒\mathrm{O_2A= O_1B+AB=15\;\mathrm{cm}}$
Use Pythagoras' theorem in $\triangle\mathrm{ AO_1O_2}$
$⇒\mathrm{(O_1O_2)^2=(O_1A)^2+(O_2A)^2=15^2+5^2=250}$
$⇒\mathrm{O_1O_2}=5\sqrt{10}\;\mathrm{cm}$
Hence, the correct answer is $5\sqrt{10}$.

Question : Directions: Select the related letter cluster from the given alternatives.
DHLP : WSOK :: FJNR : ?

Option 1: UQMI

Option 2: TPLH

Option 3: SOKG

Option 4: VRNJ

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: UQMI


Solution : Given:
DHLP : WSOK :: FJNR : ?

Like, DHLP : WSOK→(DW, HS, LO, PK) are opposite pairs.
Similarly, FJNR : (?)→(FU, JQ, NM, RI) are opposite pairs.

Thus, FJNR is coded as UQMI. Hence, the first option is correct.

Question : The average of 11 numbers is 7. If every number is doubled, what will be the new average of the numbers?

Option 1: 3.5

Option 2: 7

Option 3: 10.5

Option 4: 14

Team Careers360 24th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 14


Solution : Given: The average of 11 numbers is 7.
Total of 11 numbers = 11 × 7 = 77
If every number is doubled, their total will also be doubled.
So, new total = 77 × 2 = 154
So, new average = $\frac{154}{11}$ = 14
