Question : Find the distance (in cm) between the centres of two circles having radii of 32 cm and 24 cm, respectively if the length of a direct common tangent to the two circles is given as 24 cm.

Option 1: 60

Option 2: 65

Option 3: 64

Option 4: 63

Team Careers360 24th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 64


Solution : Direct common tangent to two circles = $\sqrt{d^{2}-(r_{1}-r_{2})^{2}}$
Let $r_{1}$ and $r_{2}$ be 32 cm and 24 cm respectively.
Length of a direct common tangent to the two circles, $d = 24 \sqrt{7}$ cm
Direct common tangent to two circles = $\sqrt{d^{2}-(r_{1}-r_{2})^{2}}$
⇒ $24 \sqrt{7}

Question : A man travels 400 km partly by train and partly by steamer. He spends 9 hours more time on the steamer. If the velocity of the steamer is 30 km/hr and the velocity of the train is 70 km/hr, how much distance does he cover by steamer?

Option 1: 309 km

Option 2: 371 km

Option 3: 464 km

Option 4: 556 km

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 309 km


Solution : Let $D$ denote the distance (in km) that the man covers by steamer.
According to the question,
$\frac{D}{30}-9=\frac{400-D}{70}$
$⇒\frac{D}{30}-9=\frac{40}{7}-\frac{D}{70}$
$⇒\frac{D}{21}=\frac{103}{7}$
$\therefore D= 309$ km
Hence, the correct answer is 309 km.
