Option 3: $1:\sqrt2$
Option 4: $\sqrt2:1$
Correct Answer: $1:2$
Solution : In equilateral triangle, Inradius $= \frac{\text{side}}{2\sqrt3}$ Circumradius $= \frac{\text{side}}{\sqrt3}$ Ratio of inradius and circumradius $= \frac{\text{side}}{2\sqrt3}: \frac{\text{side}}{\sqrt3} = 1:2$ Hence, the correct answer is $1:2$.

Question : If $x\left(5-\frac{2}{x}\right)=\frac{5}{x}$, then the value of $x^2+\frac{1}{x^2}$ is:
Option 1: $\frac{54}{25}$
Option 2: $\frac{53}{28}$
Option 3: $\frac{53}{27}$
Option 4: $\frac{54}{23}$
Correct Answer: $\frac{54}{25}$
Solution : Given: $x\left(5-\frac{2}{x}\right)=\frac{5}{x}$ ⇒ $5x-2 = \frac{5}{x}$ ⇒ $5x-\frac{5}{x} =2$ ⇒ $5(x-\frac{1}{x})=2$ ⇒ $x- \frac{1}{x} = \frac{2}{5}$ Squaring both sides. ⇒ $x^2+\frac{1}{x^2}-2 = \frac{4}{25}$ ⇒ $x^2+\frac{1}{x^2} = \frac{4}{25}+2$ ⇒ $x^2+\frac{1}{x^2} = \frac{54}{25}$ Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{54}{25}$.
Question : The average of 25 results is 20. The average of the first 12 results is 15 and that of the last 12 results is 18. Then, the 13th result is:
Option 1: 100
Option 2: 101
Option 3: 104

Question : Let the HCF of m and n be "a" and let n = ab, LCM of m and n is given by:
Option 1: bm
Option 2: am
Option 3: ab
Option 4: mn
Correct Answer: bm
Solution : Given: HCF = a n = ab We know that, The product of the two numbers = HCF × LCM ⇒ m × n = HCF × LCM Putting the values, we get: ⇒ m × ab = a × LCM Thus, LCM = bm
