Q:

The ratio of the angles of a triangle is 3 : 4 : 5. The three angles of a quadrilateral is equal to three angles of this triangle. What is the sum of the largest angle and second smallest angle of the quadrilateral ?

A) 225 deg B) 210 deg
C) 205 deg D) 245 deg
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 225 deg

Explanation:

Angle of triangle = 180 × 3/12

= 45 deg

Other angles of the triangle are = 60 deg, 75 deg

Angle of quadrilateral

= 360 - (45 + 60 + 75)

= 180 deg

Therefore, the four angles of the quadrilateral are 45, 60, 75 & 180 degrees.

Hence, the sum of largest and smallest angle of the quadrilateral are 180 + 45 = 225 deg.

Q:

Find the total numbers greater than 4000 that can be formed with digits 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 no digit being repeated in any number ?

A) 120 B) 256
C) 192 D) 244
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 192

Explanation:

We are having with digits 2, 3, 4, 5 & 6 and numbers greater than 4000 are to be formed, no digit is repeated.

 

The number can be 4 digited but greater than 4000 or 5 digited.

 

Number of 4 digited numbers greater than 4000 are
4 or 5 or 6 can occupy thousand place => 3 x P34 = 3 x 24 = 72. 

 

5 digited numbers = P55 = 5! = 120 

So the total numbers greater than 4000 = 72 + 120 = 192

Q:

The perimeter of a square is equal to twice the perimeter of a rectangle of length 8cm and breadth 7cm. What is the circumference of a semicircle whose diameter is equal to the side of the square ?

A) 55.12 cm B) 22.54 cm
C) 42.51 cm D) 38.57 cm
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 38.57 cm

Explanation:

We know that perimeter of rectangle = 2(l+b) = 2(8+7)= 30cm
Given perimeter of square is twice the perimeter of rectangle = 2(30) = 60cm
Therefore, side of the square is = 1/4 x 60 = 15cm
Circumference of the required semicircle = πr + 2r = 227× 152 + 2×152 = 23.57 + 15 = 38.57cm.
