Question : If the triangles ABC and PQR are similar and if $\angle A=35°, \angle B=65°$ then $\angle R=$?

Option 1: 80°

Option 2: 90°

Option 3: 35°

Option 4: 65°

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 80°


Solution : $\triangle ABC \sim \triangle PQR$
⇒ $\angle C=\angle R$
In $\triangle ABC,$
$\angle A + \angle B + \angle C = 180°$
⇒ $35°+65°+\angle C = 180°$
⇒ $\angle C = 180° - 100°$
⇒ $\angle C = 80°$
⇒ $\angle R = 80°$
Hence,

Question : If $x^2+\frac{1}{x^2}=4$, then what is the value of $x^4+\frac{1}{x^4}$?

Option 1: 16

Option 2: 14

Option 3: 12

Option 4: 20

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 14


Solution : Given that $x^2+\frac{1}{x^2}=4$,
Squaring both sides, we get,
$⇒(x^2+\frac{1}{x^2})^2 = 4^2$
$⇒x^4 + 2 + \frac{1}{x^4} = 16$
$⇒x^4 + \frac{1}{x^4} = 16 - 2 = 14$
Hence, the correct answer is 14.

Question : In a circle with a radius 20 cm, P is a point located at a distance of y cm from the centre of the circle. If the length of a tangent drawn from point P to the circle is 21 cm, find the value of y.

Option 1: 31 cm

Option 2: 28 cm

Option 3: 29 cm

Option 4: 25 cm

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 29 cm


Solution :
Given that OP = y cm, QP = 21 cm, OQ = 20 cm.
To find the length of OP, apply Pythagoras theorem in $\triangle$OPQ.
⇒ OQ2 + QP2 = OP2
⇒ 202 + 212 = y2

Question : If the sum of a number and its reciprocal is 4, find the sum of their squares.

Option 1: 12

Option 2: 16

Option 3: 14

Option 4: 18

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 14


Solution : Let the number be $x$.
Reciprocal = $\frac{1}{x}$
According to the question,
$x + \frac{1}{x} = 4$
Squaring both sides, we get:
⇒ $(x + \frac{1}{x})^2 = 4^2$
⇒ $x^2+ \frac{1}{x^2}+2 = 16$
⇒ $x^2 + \frac{1}{x^2} = 16 - 2 = 14$
Hence, the
