Question : Directions: Which of the following numbers will replace the question mark (?) in the given series?
$18,6,2, ?, \frac{2}{9}$

Option 1: $\frac{1}{3}$

Option 2: $\frac{1}{9}$

Option 3: $\frac{2}{3}$

Option 4: 1

Team Careers360 19th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\frac{2}{3}$


Solution : Given:
$18,6,2, ?, \frac{2}{9}$

Multiply the previous term by $\frac{1}{3}$ to obtain the next term.
$18×\frac{1}{3}=6;6×\frac{1}{3}=2;2×\frac{1}{3}=\frac{2}{3};\frac{2}{3}×\frac{1}{3}=\frac{2}{9}$

So, $\frac{2}{3}$ is the missing term in the given series. Hence, the third option is correct.

Question : If the sum of the diagonals of a rhombus is $L$ and the perimeter is $4P$, find the area of the rhombus.

Option 1: $\frac{1}{4}\left(\mathrm{~L}^2-\mathrm{P}^2\right)$

Option 2: $\frac{1}{4}\left(\mathrm{~L}^2-4 \mathrm{P}^2\right)$

Option 3: $\frac{1}{2}\left(\mathrm{~L}^2-4 \mathrm{P}^2\right)$

Option 4: $\frac{1}{4}\left(\mathrm{~L}^2+3 \mathrm{P}^2\right)$

Team Careers360 19th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\frac{1}{4}\left(\mathrm{~L}^2-4 \mathrm{P}^2\right)$


Solution : Given: The sum of the diagonals of a rhombus is $L$.
Perimeter = $4P$
⇒ Sides = $\frac{4P}{4}$ = $P$
Now, the sum of the diagonals = $L$
Let one of the diagonal be $d_1$ and another diagonal be $d_2$.
⇒ $(\frac{d_1}{2})^2 + (\frac{d_2}{2})^2
