Q:

Consider the following statements:

1) The perimeter of a triangle is greater than the sum of its three medinas.

2) In any triangle ABC, if D is any point on BC, then AB + BC + CA > 2AD.

Which of the above statements is/are correct?

A) 1 only B) 2 only
C) Both 1 and 2 D) Neither 1 nor 2
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Both 1 and 2

Explanation:
Let ABC be the triangle and D. E and F are midpoints of BC, CA and AB respectively.
Recall that the sum of two sides of a triangle is greater than twice the median bisecting the third side,(Theorem to be remembered)
Hence in ΔABD, AD is a median
⇒
AB + AC > 2(AD)
Similarly, we get
BC + AC > 2CF
BC + AB > 2BE
On adding the above inequations, we get
(AB + AC) + (BC + AC) + (BC + AB )> 2AD + 2CD + 2BE
2(AB + BC + AC) > 2(AD + BE + CF)
∴
AB + BC + AC > AD + BE +CF
 
2.
To prove: AB + BC + CA > 2AD
Construction: AD is joined
Proof: In triangle ABD,
AB + BD > AD [because, the sum of any two sides of a triangle is always greater than the
third side]
----
1
In triangle ADC,
AC + DC > AD [because, the sum of any two
sides of a tri
angle is always greater than the
third side]
----
2
Adding 1 and 2 we get,
AB + BD + AC + DC > AD + AD
=> AB + (BD + DC) + AC > 2AD
=> AB + BC + AC > 2AD
Hence proved

Q:

In a regular week, there are 5 working days and for each day, the working hours are 8. A man gets Rs. 2.40 per hour for regular work and Rs. 3.20 per hours for overtime. If he earns Rs. 432 in 4 weeks, then how many hours does he work for ?

A) 160 B) 175
C) 180 D) 195
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 175

Explanation:

Suppose the man works overtime for x hours.

Now, working hours in 4 weeks = (5 x 8 x 4) = 160.

Therefore,  160 * 2.40 + x * 3.20 = 432

 => 3.20x = 432 - 384 = 48

 => x = 15.

 Hence, total hours of work = (160 + 15) = 175.
