Question : A tangent AB at point A of a circle of radius 6 cm meets a line through the centre O at point B. If OB = 10 cm, then the length of AB (in cm) is equal to:

Option 1: 5

Option 2: 6

Option 3: 4

Option 4: 8

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 8


Solution :
Given, AB is a tangent, OB = 10 cm and OA = 6 cm
Since tangent is perpendicular to the radius at its point of contact, $\angle$OAB = 90$^\circ$
Using Pythagoras theorem,
OB2 = AB2 + OA2
⇒ 102 = AB

Question : If $\operatorname{tan} \theta=\frac{3}{4}$, then find the value of expression $\frac{1+\operatorname{sin} \theta}{1-\operatorname{sin} \theta}$.

Option 1: 4

Option 2: 3

Option 3: 8

Option 4: 5

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 4


Solution :
Given: $\tan\theta=\frac{3}{4} =\frac{Perpendicular}{Base}$
Using Pythagoras' theorem,
$AC=\sqrt{AB^2+BC^2}$
⇒ $AC=\sqrt{3^2+4^2} =5$
$\sin\theta =\frac {\text {Perpendicular}}{\text {Hypotenuse} } = \frac{3}{5}$
Now,
$\frac{1+\sin\theta}{1-\sin\theta} = \frac{1+\frac{3}{5}}{1-\frac{3}{5}} =\frac{8}{2}=4$
Hence, the correct answer is 4.

⇒ $a^2 = 16$
⇒ $a = 4$
Volume of the cube $=a^3 =4^3= 64$ cm3
Hence, the correct
