  • Question 1/10
    1 / -0.33

    Item contains a Question followed by two Statements. Answer each item using the following instructions:

    Question: Can the value of (x + y) be determined uniquely? 

    Statement I: (x + y)4 = 256.  

    Statement II: (x + y)3 < 16. 

    Solutions

    Calculation:

    Statement I: (x + y)4 = 256

    (x + y)4 = 164

    (x + y) = ± 4

    So, no unique values of x, and y are possible from this statement alone.

    Statement II: (x + y)3 < 16

    No unique values of x, and y are possible from this statement alone.

    Let's combine both statements

    Let x = 4

    (4)3 < 16

    64 < 16 which is wrong

    If x = -4

    -64 < 16 which is correct.

    So, (x + y) = - 4

    ∴ Optipon 3 is correct.

  • Question 2/10
    1 / -0.33

    ABC is a triangle with sides AB = 6 cm, BC = 10 cm and CA = 8 cm. With vertices A, B and C as centres, three circles are drawn each touching the other two externally.

    What is the sum of the radii of the circles?

    Solutions

    Given:

    AB = 6 cm, BC = 10 cm, CA = 8 cm

    Calculation:

    Let the radii of the circles with A, B and C as centres be r1, r2 and r3 respectively.

    According to the given information,

    AB = 6 cm = r1 + r3 ----(1)

    BC = 10 cm = r2 + r----(2)

    CA = 8 cm = r1 + r----(3)

    Adding equations (1), (2) and (3),

    ⇒ 2(r1 + r2 + r3) = 24

    ⇒ r1 + r2 + r3 = 12 cm

    ∴ The sum of of the radii of the circle is 12 cm

  • Question 3/10
    1 / -0.33

    ABC is a triangle with sides AB = 6 cm, BC = 10 cm and CA = 8 cm. With vertices A, B and C as centres, three circles are drawn each touching the other two externally.

    What is the length of the altitude of the triangle drawn from vertex A on BC ?

    Solutions

    Given:

    AB = 6 cm ase

    BC = 10 cm

    CA = 8 cm

    Formula used:

    Area of triangle = 1/2 × base × height

    Calculation:

    Area of triangle ABC with base AB = Area of triangle ABC with base BC

    (1/2) × 6 × 8 = (1/2) × 10 × AD

    ⇒ AD( altitude drawn from A to BC) = 4.8 cm

    ∴ The required answer is 4.8 cm.

  • Question 4/10

    If P, Q and R are the areas of sectors at A, B and C within the triangle respectively, then which of the following is/are correct ?

    1. P = π cm2

    2. 9Q + 4R = 36π cm2

    Select the correct answer using the code given below:

    Solutions

    Given:

    AB = 6 cm, BC = 10 cm, CA = 8 cm

    Concept:

    Pythagoras theorem: In a right-angled triangle,

    Hypotenuuse2 = Base2 + Perpedicular2

    Calculation:

    We have, AB = 6 cm, BC = 10 cm, CA = 8 cm

    Using Pythagoras theorem,

    AB2 + AC2 = 62 + 82 = 36 + 64

    ⇒ AB2 + AC2 = 100 = BC2

    Therefore, Δ ABC is right-angled triangle with ∠A = 90°

    Let the radii of the circles with A, B and C as centres be r1, r2 and r3 respectively.

    According to the given information,

    AB = 6 cm = r1 + r3 ----(1)

    BC = 10 cm = r2 + r3 ----(2)

    CA = 8 cm = r1 + r2 ----(3)

    Adding equations (1), (2) and (3),

    ⇒ 2(r1 + r2 + r3) = 24

    ⇒ r1 + r2 + r3 = 12 cm    ----(4)

    From (1), (2), (3) with (4) one by one we get

    ⇒ r1 = 2 cm, r2 = 6 cm, r= 4 cm

    Now, Area of sector with centre A (P) = (90°/360°) × π (r1) 

    ⇒ (1/4) × π (2)

    ⇒ π, Hence condition 1 is correct 

    Now, Area of sector with centre B (Q) = (θ/360)π (4)2

    And  Area of sector with centre C (R) = [(90 - θ)/360]π (6)2

    The value of  9Q + 4R = 9 × 16πθ /360 + 4 × 36(90 - θ)π/360

    ⇒ 9Q + 4R = 144π [ θ + 90 - θ]/360

    ⇒ 9Q + 4R = 36π cmHence condition 2 is also correct

    ∴ The option 3rd is correct.

  • Question 5/10
    1 / -0.33

    Consider the following for the next three (03) items that follow:

    A triangle ABC with sides AB = 15 cm, BC = 9 cm, CA = 12 cm is inscribed in a circle.

    What is cos2 A + cosB + cos2 C equal to ?

    Solutions

    Concept:

    Pythagoras theorem: In a right-angled theorem,

    Hypotenuse2 = Base2 + Perpendicular2

    Where R is the Radius of a circle of centre O

    • cos (90° - θ) = sin θ 
    • sin2θ + cos2θ = 1
    • cos 90° = 0

    Calculation:

    We have, AB = 15 cm, BC = 9 cm, AC = 12 cm

    122 + 92 = 144 + 81 = 225 = 152

    Hence, Δ ABC is a right-angled triangle in which ∠C = 90°

    As we know, ∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180°

    ⇒ ∠A + ∠B = 90° (∵ ∠C = 90°)

     ∠A = 90° - ∠B

    Now, the required value

    cos2 A + cos2 B + cos2 C 

    ⇒ cos2 A + cos2 (90° - A) + cos2 90°  

    ⇒ cos2 A + sin2 A + 0 [∵ cos 90° = 0]

    ⇒ 1 + 0 [∵ sin2θ + cos2θ = 1]

    ∴  cos2 A + cos2 B + cos2 C = 1

  • Question 6/10
    1 / -0.33

    Consider the following for the next three (03) items that follow:

    A triangle ABC with sides AB = 15 cm, BC = 9 cm, CA = 12 cm is inscribed in a circle.

    What is sin2 A + sin2 B + sin2 C equal to ?

    Solutions

    Concept:

    Pythagoras theorem: In a right-angled theorem, 

    Hypotenuse2 = Base2 + Perpendicular2

    Where R is the Radius of a circle of centre O

    • cos (90° - θ) = sin θ 
    • sin2θ + cos2θ = 1
    • cos 90° = 0

    Calculation:

    We have, AB = 15 cm, BC = 9 cm, AC = 12 cm

    122 + 92 = 144 + 81 = 225 = 152

    Hence, Δ ABC is a right-angled triangle in which ∠C = 90°

    As we know, ∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180°

    ⇒ ∠A + ∠B = 90° (∵ ∠C = 90°)

    ⇒ ∠A = 90° - ∠B

    Now, the required value

    sin2 A + sin2 B + sin2 C 

    ⇒ sin2 A + sin2 (90° - A) + sin2 90°  

    ⇒ sin2 A + cos2 A + 1[∵ sin 90° = 1]

    ⇒ 1 + 1 = 2 [∵ sin2θ + cos2θ = 1]

    ∴  sin2 A + sin2 B + sin2 C = 2

  • Question 7/10
    1 / -0.33

    Consider the following for the next three (03) items that follow:

    A triangle ABC with sides AB = 15 cm, BC = 9 cm, CA = 12 cm is inscribed in a circle.

    What is the radius of the circle ?

    Solutions

    Concept:

    Pythagoras theorem: In a right-angled theorem, 

    Hypotenuse2 = Base2 + Perpendicular2

    Where R is the Radius of a circle of centre O

    Calculation:

    We have, AB = 12 cm, BC = 9 cm, AC = 15 cm

    122 + 9= 144 + 81 = 225 = 152

    Hence, Δ ABC is a right-angled triangle in which ∠C = 90°

    Using the above concept, the radius of the circle

    OA = OB = OC = 15/2 = 7.5 cm

    ∴ The radius of the circle is 7.5 cm

    What is the mean of frequency distribution of Series-I?

    Solutions

    (X + Y) = 100 – 20 – 15 – 10 = 55     ---- (1)

    (2X + Y) = 100 – 4 – 8 – 4 = 84     ---- (2)

    From (1) and (2):

    X = 29 and Y = 26

    Mean = ∑xifi/∑fi = 3760/100 = 37.6

  • Question 10/10
    1 / -0.33

    Consider the following for the next items that follow:

    A line segment AB is bisected at C and semi-circles S1, S2 and S3 are drawn respectively on AB, AC and CB as diameters such that they all lie on same side of AB. A circle S is drawn touching internally S1 and externally S2 and S3.

    If r is the radius of S and R is the radius of S2, then which one of the following is correct?

    Solutions

    Concept used:

    Pythagoras Theorem states,

    Hypotenuse2 = Base2 + Perpendicular2

    Calculation:

    According to the given data, this diagram is drawn.

    Let, v and p are the centers of semi-circle S1 and circle S respectively.

    In ΔpvC, ∠ pCv = 90°

    vp = Sum of the radius of S3 and S = (R + r)

    pC = Radius of semi-circle S1 - Radius of circle S

    ⇒ DC - r = (2R - r) [∵ DC = AC]

    So, vp2 = pC2 + Cm

    ⇒ (R + r)2 = (2R - r)2 + R2

    ⇒ R2 + 2Rr + r2 = 4R2 - 4Rr + r2 + R2

    ⇒ ⇒ R2 + 2Rr + r2 = 5R2 - 4Rr + r2 

    ⇒ 5R2 - 4Rr + r2  - R- 2Rr - r2 = 0

    ⇒ 4R2 - 6Rr = 0

    ⇒ 4R2 = 6Rr 

    ⇒ 2R = 3r

    ∴ Option 4 is the correct answer.
