Question : In $\triangle ABC$, right angled at B, if $\tan A=\frac{1}{2}$, then the value of $\frac{\sin A(\cos C+\cos A)}{\cos C(\sin C-\sin A)}$ is:

Option 1: $2$

Option 2: $1$

Option 3: $3$

Option 4: $2\sqrt5$

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $3$


Solution :
$\tan A=\frac{1}{2}$
$⇒\frac{BC}{AB}=\frac{1}{2}$
Let $BC=x$ units, then $AB=2x$ units
Using Pythagoras theorem,
$⇒AC^2=AB^2+BC^2$
$⇒AC^2=x^2+(2x)^2$
$⇒AC^2=5x^2$
$⇒AC =x\sqrt5 $ units
Now, we have $\triangle ABC$ right-angled at B, with $\tan A=\frac{1}{2}$, and we've found that $BC=x$, $AB=2x$, and $AC=x\sqrt{5}$.
$⇒\sin A = \frac{BC}{AC} = \frac{x}{x\sqrt{5}} =

Question : Directions: Study the following bar graph carefully and answer the question.

Total enrolments in both State University and Central University during the years 1980, 1990, and 2000 are:

Option 1: 80,000

Option 2: 66,000

Option 3: 70,000

Option 4: 76,000

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 70,000


Solution : As per the given graph:
The number of students enrolled at State and Central Universities in 1980 = 8000 + 10000 = 18000
The number of students enrolled at State and Central Universities in 1990 = 14000 + 12000 = 26000
The number of students

Question : In a circle, a diameter AB and a chord PQ (which is not a diameter) intersect each other at X perpendicularly. If AX : BX = 3 : 2 and the radius of the circle is 5 cm, then the length of the chord PQ is:

Option 1: $2\sqrt{13}\;\mathrm{cm}$

Option 2: $5\sqrt{3}\;\mathrm{cm}$

Option 3: $4\sqrt{6}\;\mathrm{cm}$ 

Option 4: $6\sqrt{5}\;\mathrm{cm}$

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $4\sqrt{6}\;\mathrm{cm}$ 


Solution :

We have, $\mathrm{AX:BX = 3:2}$ and the radius of the circle is $5\;\mathrm{cm}$.
$\mathrm{AX=\frac{3}{5} \times 10 = 6}\;\mathrm{cm}$ 
$\mathrm{BX=\frac{2}{5} \times 10 = 4}\;\mathrm{cm}$ 
We know the theorem states that the two chords of a circle intersect within the circle, the product of the segments of
