Question : The base of a right prism is a triangle whose sides are 8 cm, 15 cm and 17 cm, and its lateral surface area is 480 cm$^2$. What is the volume (in cm$^3$) of the prism?

Option 1: 540

Option 2: 600

Option 3: 720

Option 4: 640

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 720


Solution : Given: Lateral surface area of prism = 480 cm2
Lateral surface area of prism = perimeter of base × height
Perimeter of triangle = 8 + 15 + 17 = 40 cm 
Let the height of the prime is $h$ cm 
⇒ $40 ×

Question : If $ \frac{k-k \cot ^2 30^{\circ}}{1+\cot ^2 30^{\circ}}=\sin ^2 60^{\circ}+4 \tan ^2 45^{\circ}-\operatorname{cosec}^2 60^{\circ}$, then the value of k (correct to two decimal places) is:

Option 1: 5.55

Option 2: – 6.83

Option 3: – 5.58

Option 4: 6.83

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: – 6.83


Solution : Computing RHS,
$\sin ^2 60^{\circ}+4 \tan ^2 45^{\circ}-\operatorname{cosec}^2 60^{\circ} = (\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2})^2+4\times1^2-(\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}})^2$
⇒ $\sin ^2 60^{\circ}+4 \tan ^2 45^{\circ}-\operatorname{cosec}^2 60^{\circ} = \frac{3}{4}+4-\frac{4}{3}$
⇒ $\sin ^2 60^{\circ}+4 \tan ^2 45^{\circ}-\operatorname{cosec}^2 60^{\circ} = \frac{41}{12}$
Computing LHS,
$ \frac{k-k \cot ^2 30^{\circ}}{1+\cot ^2 30^{\circ}} = k(\frac{1- (\sqrt{3})^2}{1+(\sqrt{3})^2})$

Question : If $(a^3+b^3+c^3-3 a b c)=405$ and $(a-b)^2+(b-c)^2+(c-a)^2=54$, find the value of $(a + b + c)$.

Option 1: 15

Option 2: 45

Option 3: 9

Option 4: 27

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 15


Solution : $(a-b)^2+(b-c)^2+(c-a)^2=54$
⇒ $2(a^2+b^2+c^2-ab-bc-ac)=54$
⇒ $(a^2+b^2+c^2-ab-bc-ac)=27$
Also, we know that $(a^3+b^3+c^3-3 a b c) = (a+b+c)(a^2+b^2+c^2-ab-bc-ac)$ Substituting the values, 
⇒ $405 = 27×(a+b+c)$
⇒ $a+b+c = 15$
Hence, the correct answer is 15.
