Question : A number, when divided by 15 and 18 every time, leaves 3 as a remainder, the least possible number is:

Option 1: 83

Option 2: 103

Option 3: 39

Option 4: 93

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 93


Solution : Given,
A number, when divided by 15 and 18 every time, leaves 3 as a remainder.
LCM of 15 and 18 = 2 × 3 × 3 × 5 = 90
It leaves 3 as a remainder in each case
So, the required least number

Question : The radius of the base of a right circular cone is 5 cm. Its slant height is 13 cm. What is its volume (in cm3, rounded off to 1 decimal place)? (Take $\pi=\frac{22}{7}$)

Option 1: 328.6

Option 2: 323.4

Option 3: 314.3

Option 4: 340.5

Team Careers360 23rd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 314.3


Solution : Given: Radius = 5 cm
Slant height = 13 cm
$\text{height}=\sqrt{\text{slant height}^2-\text{radius}^2}=\sqrt{13^2-5^2}=\sqrt{169-25}=\sqrt{144}=12$
We know that,
The volume of the cone
= $\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2h$
= $\frac{1}{3}\times\frac{22}{7}\times 5 \times 5 \times 12$
= $\frac{2200}{7}$
= $314.3$ cm3
Hence, the correct answer is 314.3.

Question : The shadow of a tower standing on a level plane is 40 metres longer when the sun's altitude is 45°, than when it is 60°. The height of the tower is:

Option 1: $30(3+\sqrt{3})$ metres

Option 2: $40(3+\sqrt{3})$ metres

Option 3: $20(3+\sqrt{3})$ metres

Option 4: $10(3+\sqrt{3})$ metres

Team Careers360 23rd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $20(3+\sqrt{3})$ metres


Solution :
Given: Height of the tower = AB
Shadow at 60° = BC
Shadow at 45° = BD
CD = 40 metres
Let BC be $x$ m.
In $\Delta$ ABC, we have,
$\tan 60°=\frac{AB}{BC}$
⇒ $\sqrt{3}=\frac{AB}{x}$
⇒ $x=\frac{AB}{\sqrt{3}}$ -------(1)
In $\Delta$ ABD, we have,
$\tan
