Batsman No.of runs scored No.of balls played
P 70 25
Q 80 60
R 90 50
S 110 160
T 40 40

When calculating a batsman's strike rate, divide the number of runs scored by the number of balls played and multiply the result by 100.
Which player has the highest strike rate?

Option 1: P

Option 2: Q

Option 3: S

Option 4: R

Team Careers360 23rd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: P


Solution : Using the formula 
Strike rate = $\frac{\text{Number of runs scored}}{\text{Number of balls played}}$ × 100
According to the question
Strike Rate for P = $\frac{70}{25}$×100 = 280 
Strike Rate for Q = $\frac{80}{60}$×100 = 133.33
Strike Rate for R = $\frac{90}{50}$×100 = 180
Strike Rate

Question : The longest side of the obtuse triangle is 7 cm and the other two sides of the triangle are 4 cm and 5 cm. Find the area of the triangle.

Option 1: $1 \sqrt{3} \mathrm{~cm}^2$

Option 2: $6 \sqrt{3} \mathrm{~cm}^2$

Option 3: $3 \sqrt{2} \mathrm{~cm}^2$

Option 4: $4 \sqrt{6} \mathrm{~cm}^2$

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $4 \sqrt{6} \mathrm{~cm}^2$


Solution : Given triangle is an obtuse triangle as $7^2 > 4^2 + 5^2$.
Semi perimeter of the triangle($s$) = $\frac{7+4+5}{2}$ = 8 cm
$\therefore$ Area of the triangle
= $\sqrt{8(8-7)(8-4)(8-5)}$
= $\sqrt{8×(1)×(4)×(3)}$
= $\sqrt{96}$
= $\sqrt{16×6}$
= $4\sqrt{6} \mathrm{~cm}^2$
Hence, the correct answer is
