Question : The cliff of a mountain is 180 m high and the angles of depression of two ships on either side of the cliff are 30° and 60°. What is the distance between the two ships?

Option 1: $400$ metres

Option 2: $400\sqrt{3}$ metres

Option 3: $415.68$ metres

Option 4: $398.6$ metres

Team Careers360 18th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $415.68$ metres


Solution :
AD = Cliff = 180 metres
$\angle$ABD = 60°, $\angle$ACD = 30°
From ∆ABD,
$\tan 60° = \frac{AD}{BD}$
⇒$\sqrt{3}=\frac{180}{BD}$
$\therefore BD=60\sqrt{3}$ metres
From ∆ACD,
$\tan 30° = \frac{AD}{CD}$
⇒ $\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}=\frac{180}{CD}$
$\therefore CD=180\sqrt{3}$ metres
∴ BC = BD + DC
$\therefore BC=60\sqrt{3}+180\sqrt{3} =240\sqrt{3}=(240 × 1.732)=

Question : The total surface area of a hemisphere is 462 cm2. The diameter of this hemisphere is:

Option 1: 28 cm

Option 2: 21 cm

Option 3: 7 cm

Option 4: 14 cm

Team Careers360 20th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 14 cm


Solution : Here, the total surface area of a hemisphere = 462 cm2
⇒ $3\pi r^2 = 462$
⇒ $ 3 \times \frac{22}{7} \times r^2= 462$
⇒ $r^2= 49$
⇒ $ r = 7$ cm
$\therefore$ Diameter of the hemisphere $= 2r = 2 \times

Question : A mixer marked at Rs. 2,300 is sold for Rs. 2,024. What is the percentage of discount?

Option 1: 13%

Option 2: 10%

Option 3: 12%

Option 4: 11%

Team Careers360 20th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 12%


Solution : Given,
A mixer marked at Rs. 2,300 is sold for Rs. 2,024
Discount = Marked price - Selling price = 2300 – 2024 = Rs. 276
Now, discount percentage = $(\frac{\text{Discount}}{\text{Marked price}}) × 100$
= $\frac{276}{2300} × 100$
= 0.12 × 100 = 12%
Hence,
