Q:

How many lines can you draw using 3 non collinear (not in a single line) points A, B and C on a plane?

A) 3 B) 6
C) 2 D) 4
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 3

Explanation:

You need two points to draw a line. The order is not important. Line AB is the same as line BA. The problem is to select 2 points out of 3 to draw different lines. If we proceed as we did with permutations, we get the following pairs of points to draw lines.

 

AB , AC

 

BA , BC

 

CA , CB

 

There is a problem: line AB is the same as line BA, same for lines AC and CA and BC and CB.

 

The lines are: AB, BC and AC ; 3 lines only.

 

So in fact we can draw 3 lines and not 6 and that's because in this problem the order of the points A, B and C is not important.

Q:

In a mixture of milk and water the proportion of water by weight was 75%. If in 60 gm of mixture 15 gm water was added, what would be the percentage of water ? (Weight in gm)

A) 80% B) 70%
C) 75% D) 62%
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 80%

Explanation:

Water in 60 gm mixture=60 x 75/100 = 45 gm. and Milk = 15 gm.

 

After adding 15 gm. of water in mixture, total water = 45 + 15 = 60 gm and weight of a mixture = 60 + 15 = 75 gm.

 

So % of water = 100 x 60/75 = 80%.

Q:

The area of a circular field is 13.86 hectares. Find the cost of fencing it at the rate of Rs. 4.40 per metre.

A) 2808 B) 3808
C) 4808 D) 5808
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 5808

Explanation:

Area = (13.86 x 10000) sq.m = 138600 sq.m

 

πR2=138600⇒R2=138600×722⇒R=210m 

 

Circumference = 2πR2=2×227×210=1320m 

 

Cost of fencing = Rs. (1320 x 4.40) = Rs. 5808.

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:

A boy can swim in still water at 4.5 km/h, but takes twice as long to swim upstream than downstream. The speed of the stream is ?

A) 1.8 kmph B) 2 kmph
C) 2.2 kmph D) 1.5 kmph
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 1.5 kmph

Explanation:

Speed of Boy is B = 4.5 kmph

Let the speed of the stream is S = x kmph

Then speed in Down Stream = 4.5 + x

speed in Up Stream = 4.5 - x

As the distance is same,

=> 4.5 + x = (4.5 - x)2

=> 4.5 + x = 9 -2x

3x = 4.5

x = 1.5 kmph
