Answer: Option B. -> 1
:
B

Option (b)


Assume a 45-45-90 triangle


sin α= P = 12 . (Sin= opposite side/ hypotenuse)


tan α= Q = 1 (Tan = opposite side/ adjacent side)


1P21Q2 = 2-1 =1


If Sin α= P And Tan α= Q, Find The Value Of 1P2−1Q2  ?...


Shortcut


cosec2αcot2α = 1 is a trigonometric identity


If you are not aware of this identity, substitute α = 45.


 


Question 52.

B

Option (b)


Perimeter = 3a


Area = 34a2


10x34a2= 25x3a

Option (a)


Take DBF = a and ECF = b.
40 +
a + b = 180  a + b= 140
DFB + EFC + DFE = 180 180 – 2a + 180 – 2b + DFE = 180 180 – 2(a + b) = - DFE
DFE = 280 – 180
= 100


 


 


Question 54.


If O is the centre of a circle and the radius of the circle is 4 units, find the value of length of AC.
If O Is The Centre Of A Circle And The Radius Of The Circle ...


  1.     4( 3 + 1)
  2.     9 2
  3.     10.5
  4.     none of these
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> none of these
:
D

Option (d)
AC has to less than 8 as the diameter will be of 8 units. So the correct option is “D” as all are greater than 8


 


Question 55.


What is the circumradius of a triangle whose sides are 7, 24 and 25 respectively?


  1.     18
  2.     12.5
  3.     12
  4.     14
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 12.5
:
B

Option b
It’s important that we note that it is a Pythagoras triplet


72 = 252+242 


Now,


In a right-angled triangle, the median to the hypotenuse is half the hypotenuse and is also the circum radius of the triangle.


As the hypotenuse is 25, the circum radius is 12.5


 


Question 56.


 A trapezium DEFG is circumscribed about a circle that has centre C and radius 2 cm. If DE = 3 cm and the measure ofDEF=EFG=90, then find the area of trapezium DEFG
  A Trapezium DEFG Is Circumscribed About A Circle That Has ...


  1.     18 cm2
  2.     16 cm2
  3.     15 cm2
  4.     20 cm2

Answer: Option A. -> 18 cm2
:
A

 A Trapezium DEFG Is Circumscribed About A Circle That Has ...


Draw perpendicular from D to GF meeting at X.


Also, let GN = GP = k


Since, DE = XF = 3 cm


NX = 3 – 2 = 1 = DM = DP


Therefore, GX = k – 1


ΔDXG is right angled triangle.


Hence, (k + 1)2 – (k – 1)2 = 42


Hence, k = 4 and so GF = 6 cm


Area of trapezium DEFG = (3+6)2 * 4 = 18 cm2


 


 


Question 57.


P,Q,R,S,T are points on a circle with centre O so that PTQ= 2 x RTS and PQ %undefined RS. Find SOQ, if P,O,Q are in a straight line

PTQ= 90 (angle in a semi circle)


, hence RTS = 45.


ROS = 90 ( Inscribed angle= 2 *Angle at circumference)


OR=OS=OR (radius)


RSO = SOQ= 45 (interior alternate angles)


Option (a)


Question 58.


In an equilateral triangle ΔABC, D divides BC in the ratio 2 : 1 while E divides AC in the ratio 1 : 2. Find BE : ED ?


  1.     4:3
  2.     2:3
  3.     7:3
  4.     Cannot be determined

Answer: Option C. -> 7:3
:
C

 In An Equilateral Triangle ΔABC, D Divides BC In The Ratio ...


Let the side of the equilateral triangle ΔABC be 3 units. Clearly, BD = 2, CD = 1 and CE = 2.


CD/CE = 12 So DEC=30


Hence, ΔCDE is a right angled triangle.


Similarly, ΔBDE is also a right angled triangle.


BE = 7 and ED = 3 hence BE:ED = 7 : 3


Question 59.


In a triangle ABC, M is the mid-point of BC. If AMB = 45, and ACM = 30, then BAM is (B is not obtuse)


  1.     30
  2.     45
  3.     < 30
  4.     45

Answer: Option D. -> 45
:
D

Consider any triangle ABC, AM is a line connecting A to mid point of BC. Drop a perpendicular from A to BC touching BC at D. The angle ADM is a right angled triangle with 45 – 45 – 90 angles. Hence DAM = 45 and BAM > 45. BAM= 45 If ABC =90. hence, answer is option (d)


 


Question 60.


What is the minimum area of quadrilateral ABCD, if the area of a pair of diagonally opposite triangles (Formed by joining the diagonals of the quadrilateral) is 12 and 27 respectively?


  1.     70
  2.     73
  3.     75
  4.     77
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 75
:
C

Option c


In a quadrilateral, product of area of diagonally opposite triangles is same.


So, the product of other set of opposite triangles will be 12*27


Now, we have to find minimum a and b such that a*b=12*27 and a+b is minimum.


So a = b = 18 (as 12*27 = 324)


Hence the area of the quadrilateral = 18 + 18 + 12 + 27 = 75
