Question 1: In a triangle ABC, AB = AC = 8 cm. A circle drawn with BC as diameter passes through A. Another circle drawn with center at A passes through Band C. Then the area, in sq. cm, of the overlapping region between the two circles is

a) $16\pi$

b) $16(\pi – 1)$

c) $32(\pi – 1)$

d) $32\pi$

1) Answer (C)

View Video Solution

Solution:

BC is the diameter of circle C2 so we can say that $\angle BAC=90^{\circ\ }$ as angle in the semi circle is $90^{\circ\ }$

Therefore overlapping area = $\frac{1}{2}$(Area of circle C2) + Area of the minor sector made be BC in C1

AB= AC = 8 cm and as $\angle BAC=90^{\circ\ }$, so we can conclude that BC= $8\sqrt{2}$ cm

Radius of C2 = Half of length of BC = $4\sqrt{2}$ cm

Area of C2 = $\pi\left(4\sqrt{2}\right)^2=32\pi$ $cm^2$

A is the centre of C1 and C1 passes through B, so AB is the radius of C1 and is equal to 8 cm

Area of the minor sector made be BC in C1 = $\frac{1}{4}$(Area of circle C1) – Area of triangle ABC = $\frac{1}{4}\pi\left(8\right)^2-\left(\frac{1}{2}\times8\times8\right)=16\pi-32$ $cm^2$

Therefore,

Overlapping area between the two circles= $\frac{1}{2}$(Area of circle C2) + Area of the minor sector made be BC in C1

= $\frac{1}{2}\left(32\pi\right)\ +\left(16\pi-32\right)=32\left(\pi-1\right)$ $cm^2$

Question 2: The lengths of all four sides of a quadrilateral are integer valued. If three of its sides are of length 1 cm, 2 cm and 4 cm, then the total number of possible lengths of the fourth side is

a) 3

b) 4

c) 6

d) 5

2) Answer (D)

View Video Solution

Solution:

Sum of the three sides of a quadrilateral is greater than the fourth side.

Therefore, let the fourth side be

1+2+4>d or d<7

1+2+d>4 or d>1

Possible values of d are 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6.

Question 3: Suppose the medians BD and CE of a triangle ABC intersect at a point O. If area of triangle ABC is 108 sq. cm., then, the area of the triangle EOD, in sq. cm., is

3) Answer: 9

View Video Solution

Solution:

Area of ABD : Area of BDC = 1:1

Therefore, area of ABD = 54

Area of ADE : Area of EDB = 1:1

Therefore, area of ADE = 27

O is the centroid and it divides the medians in the ratio of 2:1

Area of BEO : Area of EOD = 2:1

Area of EOD = 9

Question 4: The length of each side of an equilateral triangle ABC is 3 cm. Let D be a point on BC such that the area of triangle ADC is half the area of triangle ABD. Then the length of AD, in cm, is

a) $\sqrt{8}$

b) $\sqrt{6}$

c) $\sqrt{7}$

d) $\sqrt{5}$

4) Answer (C)

View Video Solution

Solution:

Area of triangle ABD is twice the area of triangle ACD

$\angle\ ADB=\theta\ $

$\frac{1}{2}\left(AD\right)\left(BD\right)\sin\theta\ =2\left(\frac{1}{2}\left(AD\left(CD\right)\sin\left(180-\theta\ \right)\right)\right)$

$BD\ =2CD$

Therefore, BD = 2 and CD = 1

$\angle\ ABC=\angle\ ACB=60^{\circ\ }$

Applying cosine rule in triangle ADC, we get

$\cos\angle\ ACD=\ \frac{\ AC^2+CD^2-AD^2}{2\left(AC\right)\left(CD\right)}$

$\frac{1}{2}=\ \frac{\ 9+1-AD^2}{6}$

$AD^2=7$

$AD=\sqrt{\ 7}$

The answer is option C.

Question 5: Regular polygons A and B have number of sides in the ratio 1 : 2 and interior angles in the ratio 3 : 4. Then the number of sides of B equals

5) Answer: 10

View Video Solution

Solution:

Let the number of sides of polygons A and B be n and 2n, respectively.

$\ \dfrac{\ \ \dfrac{\ \left(n-2\right)180}{n}}{\ \dfrac{\ \left(2n-2\right)180}{2n}}=\dfrac{3}{4}$

$\ \dfrac{\ \ \ n-2}{\ \ n-1}=\dfrac{3}{4}$

$\ \ \ \ 4n-8=3n-3$

$n=5$

The number of sides of polygon B is 2*5, i.e. 10.

Let AE = BE = x

In right-angled triangle ABD, it is given $\angle ABC=\theta\ $

$\sin\theta=\frac{AD}{AB}\ $

$\sin\theta=\frac{AD}{x\sqrt{\ 2}}\ $

$\sqrt{\ 2}\sin\theta=\frac{AD}{BE}\ $

The answer is option D.

c) $\frac{P^2}{2} – 2PR$

d) $\frac{P^2}{8} – \frac{R^2}{2}$

8) Answer (B)

View Video Solution

Solution:

$A=lb$

$l^2+b^2=4r^2$

$P\ =2\left(l+b\right)$

$\frac{P}{2}=l+b$

Squaring on both the sides, we get

$\frac{P^2}{4}=l^2+b^2+2lb$

$\frac{P^2}{4}=4r^2+2lb$

$\frac{P^2}{8}-2r^2=lb$

The answer is option B.

Question 9: A trapezium $ABCD$ has side $AD$ parallel to $BC, \angle BAD = 90^\circ, BC = 3$ cm and $AD= 8$ cm. If the perimeter of this trapezium is 36 cm, then its area, in sq. cm, is

9) Answer: 66

View Video Solution

Solution:

CD = $\sqrt{\ y^2+25}$

$11+y+\sqrt{y^2+25}=36$

$\sqrt{y^2+25}=25-y$

$y^2+25=25^2+y^2-50y$

2y = 24

y = 12

Area of trapezium = $3y+\frac{5y}{2}=\frac{11y}{2}=\frac{11}{2}\left(12\right)=66$

Actual length of the tree = AB + AC
$\sin30^{\circ\ }=\frac{AB}{AC}$
AB = 20/2 = 10 cm
Length of the tree = AB + AC = 10 + 20 = 30 cm

Answer is option D.

Question 15: $ABC$ is a triangle, $\angle B=60^\circ, \angle C=45^\circ$, BC is produced to / extended till D so that $\angle ADB=30^\circ$, then given $\sqrt{3}=\frac{19}{11}$ and $BC \times CD=3^{4}\times 2^{3}\times\frac{11}{19}$, what will be the square of the altitude from A to BC?

a) 144

b) 324

c) 484

d) 1254

15) Answer (B)

Solution:

AE is altitude from A on BC. $\angle\ AEC\ =\ 90^{\circ\ }$

It is given,

$\angle\ ABC\ =\ 60^{\circ\ },\ \angle\ ACB\ =\ 45^{\circ\ }$

In triangle ABE,

AE = $\sqrt{\ 3}x$

As $\angle\ EAC\ =\angle\ ECA$, EC = $\sqrt{\ 3}x$

In triangle AED, $\angle\ EAD\ =\ 60^{\circ\ }$

Therefore, CD = $3x-\sqrt{\ 3}x$

It is given,

$BC\ \cdot\ CD\ =\ \frac{3^4.2^3.11}{19}$

$x\left(\sqrt{\ 3}+1\right)\sqrt{\ 3}\left(\sqrt{\ 3}-1\right)x\ =\ \frac{3^4.2^3.11}{19}$

$x\ =\ \frac{3^2.2.11}{19}$

AE = 9*2 = 18

$AE^2$ = 324

Answer is option B.

Question 16: ABCD is a rectangle in the clockwise direction. The coordinates of A are (1,3) and the coordinates of C are (5,1), the coordinates of vertices B and D satisfy the line $y=2x+c$, then what will be the coordinates of the mid-point of BC.

a) $(\frac{5}{2},\frac{7}{2})$

b) $(\frac{9}{2},\frac{5}{2})$

c) $(\frac{9}{5},\frac{7}{2})$

d) $(3,2)$

16) Answer (B)

Solution:

Midpoint of AC passes through the line y = 2x + c

Midpoint of AC = (3,2)

2 = 6 + c

c = -4

Line passing through B is y = 2x – 4

(slope of AB)(slope of BC) = -1

$\left(\ \frac{\ y-1}{x-5}\right)\left(\ \frac{\ y-3}{x-1}\right)=-1$

Substituting y = 2x – 4 and solving, we get

B(2,0) or B(4,4)

B cannot lie on X-axis. Therefore, co-ordinates of B = (4,4)

Midpoint of BC = $\left(\frac{9}{2},\frac{5}{2}\right)$

The answer is option B.

Question 17: In a figure, $\triangle ABC$ is a right angled triangle at $C$, semicircles are drawn on $AC$, $BC$ and $AB$’s diameter. Find the area of the shaded region.

Note: Figure not as per scale

a) 336

b) 676

c) 196

d) 556

17) Answer (A)

Solution:

Area of shaded region = area of semicircle on BC + area of semicircle of AC – area of unshaded semicircle regions
Area of unshaded semicircle regions = area of semicircle on AB – area of triangle ABC
Given,
AB = 50, BC = 14
In triangle ABC, $AC^2+BC^2 = AB^2$
Solving we get,
AC = 48
Area of unshaded semicircle regions = $\pi\ \left(25\right)^2\ $ – $\frac{1}{2}\times\ 48\times\ 14$ = $625\pi\ -336$
Area of shaded region = $576\pi\ +49\pi\ -625\pi\ +336$ = 336

The answer is option A.

Question 18: In the figure (not drawn to scale) given below, if $AD=CD=BC$ and angle $BCE = 81^\circ$, how much is the value of angle $DBC$?

a) $27^\circ$

b) $33^\circ$

c) $54^\circ$

d) $66^\circ$

18) Answer (C)

Solution:

Given,
AD = DC, this implies angle ACD = angle DAC = x
DC = BC, this implies angle CDB = angle CBD = 2x
$\angle\ DCB$ = 180 – x – 81 = 99 – x
In triangle BCD, sum of the angles is 180 degrees
99 – x + 2x + 2x = 180
3x = 81
x = 27
$\angle\ DBC$ = 2x = 54 degrees
The answer is option C.

Question 19: A triangular park named ABC, is required to be protected by green fencing. The length of the side BC is 293. If the length of side AB is a perfect square, the length of the side AC is a power of two (2), and the length of side AC is twice the length of side AB. Determine how much fencing is required to cover the triangular park.

a) 1079

b) 1024

c) 1096

d) 1061

19) Answer (D)

Solution:

ABC is a triangle and BC =  293
Let the length of AB = $x^2$
The length of AC = $2^y$
AC = 2AB
$2^y = 2.x^2$
$2^y-1 = x^2$
$2^y-1$ is a perfect square when y is odd.
Sum of any two sides of a triangle should be larger than the third side. Therefore,
$2^y + x^2$ > 293, 293 + $2^y$ > $x^2$ and 293 + $x^2$ > $2^y$
y > 8
If y = 9, AC = 512, x = 16; satisfies above equations.
If y = 11, AC = 2048, x = 32; doesn’t satisfy above equations.
Therefore, AB = 256 and AC = 512
Fencing required = 256 + 512 + 293 = 1061
Answer is option D.

Question 20: The angle of elevation of a glider from the deck of ship 25 meters above the sea surface is $30^\circ$ nd the angle of depression of the reflection of glider in the sea is $75^\circ$. Find the approximate height of the glider from the sea surface. $\sqrt{3}=\frac{19}{11}$

a) 46

b) 34

c) 29

d) 52

20) Answer (B)

Solution:

It is given, angle ABC = 30 degrees and angle FBC = 75 degrees

$\tan\ 30^{\circ\ }=\frac{x}{BC}$

$BC\ =\ x\sqrt{\ 3}$

$\tan75^{\circ\ }=\ \frac{\ 50+x}{x\sqrt{\ 3}}$

$2+\sqrt{\ 3}\ =\ \frac{\ 50+x}{x\sqrt{\ 3}}$

Solving we get x = 9.1

Height of glinder from sea surface = 25+x $\approx\ $ 34

Answer is option B.
