A) Rs.25,000	B) Rs.30,000
C) Rs.15,000	D) Rs.20,000

Answer & Explanation Answer:

Explanation:

Let monthly salary of Pia = Rs.500x => Monthly salary of Som = Rs.400x Amount given by Pia to her mother = 3/5 * 500x = 300x Amount for her sister tuition fees = 15*500x/100 = 75x Amount for loan = 18*500x/100 = 90x => Amount left = 500x −(300x +75x +90x) = 2100 => 500x - 465x = 35x = 2100 => x = 2100/35 = 60 Therefore, Som's salary = 400 x 60 = Rs. 24,000

Q:

Two equal circles intersect such that each passes through the centre of the other. If the length of the common chord of the circles is 10√3 cm, then what is the diameter of the circle?

A) 10 cm	B) 15 cm
C) 20 cm	D) 30 cm

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 20 cm

Explanation:

Let there be 2 circles with centre O1 and OAB is the common chord

Since both passes through the center of each other as shown in figure

So O1O is the radius of both

Let O1O = r = AO1= AO

AX = AB / 2 = 5√3 cm (since OX perpendicular to chord bisects it)

AOO1 forms an equilateral triangle with on side = radius = r

Sin 60 = √3/2 = AX / AO = 5√3/r

So r = 10 cm

So diameter = 20 cm
