Aptitude and Reasoning Questions

Using Pythagoras theorem we can see that 12² + 15² is not equal to 18²
Neither is 10² + 24² = 25²

Let S be the sample space. Then,
n(s) = number of ways of drawing 4 pearls out of 14

= C414 ways = 14×13×12×114×3×2×1= 1001

Let E be the event of drawing 4 pearls of the same colour.
Then, E = event of drawing (4 pearls out of 5) or (4 pearls out of 4) or (4 pearls out of 5)

  ⇒C15+ C44+ C15 = 5+1+5 =11

 P(E) = n(E)n(S)=111001=191  

 Required probability = 1-191=9091

Exercise associated with normal daily activities effectively ...........neutralizes and dissipates the free radicals that are ...........produced as a result of routine bodily processes is true for the above stated arguments

Draw the two chords as shown in the figure. Let O be the center of the circle. Draw OC
perpendicular to both chords. That divides the two chords in half.
So CD = 10 and AB = 14. Draw radii OA and OD, both equal to radius r.
We are given that BC = 5, the distance between the two chords. Let
OB = x.

We use the Pythagorean theorem on right triangle ABO

AO² = AB² + OB²
r² = 14² + x²

We use the Pythagorean theorem on right triangle DCO

DO² = CD² + OC²

We see that OC = OB+BC = x+5, so

r² = 10² + (x+5)²

So we have a system of two equations:

r² = 14² + x²
r² = 10² + (x+5)²

Since both left sides equal r², set the right sides
equal to each other.

14² + x² = 10² + (x+5)²
196 + x² = 100 + x² + 10x + 25
196 = 125 + 10x
71 = 10x
7.1 = x

r² = 14² + x²
r² = 196 + (7.1)²
r² = 196 + 50.41
r² = 246.41
r = √246.41
r = 15.69745202 cm

By observing the above pattern Figure (3) will complete the matrix.
