Question : $\triangle \mathrm {ABC}$ is similar to $\triangle \mathrm{PQR}$ and $\mathrm{PQ}=10 \mathrm{~cm}$. If the area of $\triangle \mathrm{ABC}$ is $32 \mathrm{~cm}^2$ and the area of $\triangle \mathrm{PQR}$ is $50 \mathrm{~cm}^2$, then the length of $A B$ (in $\mathrm{cm}$ ) is equal to:

Option 1: 10

Option 2: 4

Option 3: 6

Option 4: 8

Team Careers360 24th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 8


Solution : If $\triangle \mathrm{A B C}$ is similar to $\triangle \mathrm{PQR}$
⇒ $\frac{\text{Ares of triangle ABC}}{AB^2}=\frac{\text{Area of triangle PQR}}{PQ^2}$
⇒ $\frac{32}{AB^2}=\frac{50}{10^2}$
⇒ $AB^2=\frac{32}{50}\times 100$
⇒ $AB^2=64$ cm
⇒ $AB=\sqrt{64}=8$ cm
Hence, the correct answer is 8 cm.

Question : Which of the following set of angles forms a triangle?

Option 1: 60°, 70°, 80°

Option 2: 60°, 70°, 30°

Option 3: 60°, 40°, 80°

Option 4: 60°, 50°, 80°

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 60°, 40°, 80°


Solution : The sum of all angles of the triangle should be 180°.
From the above-given options, only option 2 satisfies the condition.
Option 2: 60°, 40°, 80°
Sum of angles = 60° + 40° + 80° = 180°
Hence, the correct answer is 60°,

Question : Simplify the given expression: $\frac{\sin^2 32^{\circ}+\sin^2 58^{\circ}}{\cos^2 32^{\circ}+\cos^2 58^{\circ}}+\sin^2 53^{\circ}+\cos 53^{\circ} \sin 37^{\circ}$

Option 1: 2

Option 2: –1

Option 3: –2

Option 4: 1

Team Careers360 23rd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 2


Solution : We know: $\sin (90^{\circ} -A) = \cos A$ and $\sin^2 A+\cos^2 A = 1$
$\frac{\sin^2 32^{\circ}+\sin^2 58^{\circ}}{\cos^2 32^{\circ}+\cos^2 58^{\circ}}+\sin^2 53^{\circ}+\cos 53^{\circ} \sin 37^{\circ}$
= $\frac{\sin^2 32^{\circ}+\sin^2 (90-32)^{\circ}}{\cos^2 32^{\circ}+\cos ^2 (90-32)^{\circ}}+\sin^2 53^{\circ}+\cos 53^{\circ} \sin (90-53)^{\circ}$
= $\frac{\sin^2 32^{\circ}+\cos^2 32^{\circ}}{\cos^2 32^{\circ}+\sin^2 32^{\circ}}+\sin^2 53^{\circ}+\cos 53^{\circ} \cos 53^{\circ}$

Question : If $x:y= 5:2$, then $\frac{8x+9y}{8x +2y}=?$

Option 1: 22 : 29

Option 2: 26 : 61

Option 3: 29 : 22

Option 4: 61 : 26

Team Careers360 24th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 29 : 22


Solution : Given:
$\frac{x}{y} = \frac{5}{2}$
⇒ $x= \frac{5y}{2}$
We have to find $\frac{8x+9y}{8x +2y}$
Putting the value of x in the above equation,
$\frac{8\times \frac{5y}{2}+9y}{8\times \frac{5y}{2} +2y} = \frac{4\times 5y+9y}{4\times 5y +2y} = \frac{20y+9y}{20y +2y}=\frac{29y}{22y} = \frac{29}{22}$
$\therefore$ The ratio is 29 : 22
