Q:

The Value of $[\log (\tan (1^{0})) + \log (\tan (2^{0})) + \dots \dots + \log (\tan (89^{0}))]$ is

A) -1	B) 0
C) 1/2	D) 1

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 0

Explanation:

$= [\log \tan (1^{0}) + \log \tan (89^{0})] + [\log \tan (2^{0}) + \log \tan (88^{0})] + \dots \dots + [\log \tan (45^{0})]$

$= \log [\tan (1^{0}) \times \tan (89^{0})] + \log [\tan (2^{0}) \times \tan (88^{0})] + \dots \dots + \log (1)$

$[∵ \tan (90 - θ) = c o t θ a n d \tan (45^{0}) = 1]$

= log 1 + log 1 +.....+log 1

= 0.

Q:

Area of a square and a rectangle are equal. If side of the square is 40 cm and length of the rectangle is 64 cm, what is the perimeter of the rectangle ?

A) 187 cm	B) 178 cm
C) 149 cm	D) 194 cm

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 178 cm

Explanation:

Area of square = 40 x 40

= 1600 sq.cm

Given that the areas of Square and Rectangle are equal

=> Area of rectangle = 1600 Sq.cm

We know that, Area of rectangle = L x B

Given L = 64 cm

Breadth of rectangle = 1600/64 = 25 cm

Perimeter of the rectangle = 2(L + B) = 2(64+25) = 178 cm.
