Question : A boat goes 10 km upstream in 50 minutes and the speed of the stream is 3 kmph. Find the speed of the boat in still water (in kmph).

Option 1: 15

Option 2: 10

Option 3: 8

Option 4: 12

Team Careers360 24th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 15


Solution : Given: A boat goes 10 km upstream in 50 minutes.
The speed of the stream is 3 kmph.
Upstream speed in km/h = $\frac{10}{50}×60=12$ kmph
Let the speed of a boat in still water be $x$ kmph.
We know that,
Upstream speed = speed of

Question : If the areas of two similar triangles are in the ratio 36 : 121, then what is the ratio of their corresponding sides?

Option 1: 6 : 11

Option 2: 11 : 5

Option 3: 6 : 5

Option 4: 5 : 12

Team Careers360 24th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 6 : 11


Solution : Given,
The ratio of the area of two similar triangles = 36 : 121
If two triangles are similar, then the ratio of the area of both triangles is proportional to the square of the ratio of their corresponding sides.
⇒ $\frac{\text{(Area of

Question : The value of the expression $\sin^{2}1^{\circ}+\sin^{2}11^{\circ}+\sin^{2}21^{\circ}+\sin^{2}31^{\circ}+\sin^{2}41^{\circ}+\sin^{2}45^{\circ}+\sin^{2}49^{\circ}+\sin^{2}59^{\circ}+\sin^{2}69^{\circ}+\sin^{2}79^{\circ}+\sin^{2}89^{\circ}$ is:

Option 1: $0$

Option 2: $5\frac{1}{2}$

Option 3: $5$

Option 4: $4\frac{1}{2}$

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $5\frac{1}{2}$


Solution : $\sin^{2}1^{\circ}+\sin^{2}11^{\circ}+\sin^{2}21^{\circ}+\sin^{2}31^{\circ}+\sin^{2}41^{\circ}+\sin^{2}45^{\circ}+\sin^{2}49^{\circ}+\sin^{2}59^{\circ}+\sin^{2}69^{\circ}+\sin^{2}79^{\circ}+\sin^{2}89^{\circ}$
Using the identity $\sin(90^{\circ} - \theta) = \cos\theta$, we get,
$\sin^{2}49^{\circ}=\sin^{2}(90^\circ-41^{\circ}) = \cos^2{41}^\circ$
$\sin^{2}59^{\circ}=\sin^{2}(90^\circ-31^{\circ}) = \cos^2{31}^\circ$
$\sin^{2}69^{\circ}=\sin^{2}(90^\circ-21^{\circ}) = \cos^2{21}^\circ$
$\sin^{2}79^{\circ}=\sin^{2}(90^\circ-11^{\circ}) = \cos^2{11}^\circ$
$\sin^{2}89^{\circ}=\sin^{2}(90^\circ-1^{\circ}) = \cos^2{1}^\circ$
$=\sin^{2}1^{\circ}+\sin^{2}11^{\circ}+\sin^{2}21^{\circ}+\sin^{2}31^{\circ}+\sin^{2}41^{\circ}+\sin^{2}45^{\circ}+\cos^{2}41^{\circ}+\cos^{2}31^{\circ}+\cos^{2}21^{\circ}+\cos^{2}11^{\circ}+\cos^{2}1^{\circ}$Each pair adds up to $1$ because $\sin^{2}\theta + \cos^{2}\theta = 1$
$=5+\sin^{2}45^{\circ}$
$=5+\frac{1}{2}$
$=\frac{11}{2}=5\frac{1}{2}$
Hence, the correct answer
