Q:

The altitude drawn to the base of an isosceles triangle is 8cm and the perimeter is 32cm. Find the area of the triangle?

A) 50 B) 60
C) 70 D) 80
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 60

Explanation:

let ABC be the isosceles triangle, the AD be the altitude 

Let AB = AC = x then BC= 32-2x       [because parameter = 2 (side) + Base] 

since in an isoceles triange the altitude bisects the base so 

BD = DC = 16-x 

In a triangle ADC, AC2=AD2+DC2 

x2=82+16-x2 x=10 

BC = 32-2x = 32-20 = 12 cm 

Hence, required area = 12*BC*AD12*12*10 = 60 sq cm

analyticalreasoning8answer121484544955.png image

The simplest triangles are AKI, AIL, EKD, LFB, DJC, DKJ, KIJ, ILJ, JLB, BJC, DHC and BCG i.e. 12 in number.
The triangles composed of two components each are AKJ, ALJ, AKL, ADJ, AJB and DBC i.e. 6 in number.
The triangles composed of the three components each are ADC and ABC i.e. 2 in number.
There is only one triangle i.e. ADB composed of four components.
Thus, there are 12 + 6 + 2 + 1 = 21 triangles in the figure.

Q:

A sum of Rs.1550 was lent partly at 8% p.a. simple interest. The total interest received after 3 years was Rs.300. The ratio of the money lent at 5% to that lent at 8% is :

A) 5:8 B) 6:7
C) 16:15 D) 17:18
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 16:15

Explanation:

let the sum lent at 5% be Rs.x and that lent at 8% be Rs.(1550-x). then, 

 

Interest on x at 5% for 3 years + interest on (1550-x) at 8% for 3 years = 300

 

 x*5*3100+1500-x*8*3100=300 

 

 x=800

 

Required ratio =  x : (1550-x) = 800 : (1550-800) = 800 : 750 = 16 : 15
