Question : The circumferences of the two circles are touching externally. The distance between their centres is 12 cm. The radius of one circle is 7 cm. Find the diameter (in cm) of the other circle.

Option 1: 12

Option 2: 10

Option 3: 8

Option 4: 5

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Solution : When two circles touch each other externally, the distance between their centres is equal to the sum of their radii.
⇒ Distance = 12 = 7 + Radius of other circle
⇒ Radius of other circle = 12 – 7 = 5 cm
So, the diameter of other circle = 2 × 5 = 10 cm
Hence, the correct answer is 10.

According to the question,
$x×\frac{120}{100}×\frac{110}{100}=33000$
⇒ $x=33000×\frac{100}{120}×\frac{100}{110}$
⇒ $x =25000$
Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 25,000.

= $(x-y)(x+y)$
= $x^2-y^2$
Hence, the correct answer is $x^2-y^2$.

Option 1: Sunday

Option 2: Wednesday

Option 3: Saturday

Option 4: Monday

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Saturday


Solution : Given:
The 14th of May 1953 is Thursday.

Number of days from 14th May 1953 to 27th July 1953 = 17 + 30 + 27 = 74
Number of days from 28th July 1953 to 27th July 1963 = 10 × 365 = 3650
Add 2 days from the leap years 1956 and 1960.
Total number of days = 74 + 3650 + 2 = 3726
On dividing 3726 by 7, the remainder is 2.
Thursday + 2 days = Saturday

So, the 27th of July 1963 will be Saturday. Hence, the third option is correct.
