Answers & Solutions:
1) Answer (D)
Given : AB = 10 cm and cosec A = 13/12
=> $cosecA=\frac{AC}{BC}=\frac{13}{12}$
Let $AC=13x$ and $BC=12x$
In right triangle ABC, => $(AC)^2=(AB)^2+(BC)^2$
=> $(13x)^2=(10)^2+(12x)^2$
=> $169x^2-144x^2=100$
=> $25x^2=100$
=> $x^2=\frac{100}{25}=4$
=> $x=\sqrt4=2$
$\therefore$ $AC=13\times2=26$ cm
=> Ans – (D)
2) Answer (C)
Let the numbers be $5x$ and $4x$
According to ques,
=> $(5x)^3-(4x)^3=61$
=> $125x^3-64x^3=61x^3=61$
=> $x^3=\frac{61}{61}=1$
=> $x=\sqrt[3]{1}=1$
$\therefore$ Larger number = $5\times1=5$
=> Ans – (C)
3) Answer (D)
If two tangents are drawn to a circle from one external point, then their tangent segments (lines joining the external point and the points of tangency) are equal.
=> AD = AF , BD = BE , CE = CF
Thus, all options are correct.
=> Ans – (D)
4) Answer (B)
Given : Largest chord in a circle is the diameter, => radius OA = $\frac{10}{2}=5$ cm and OB = $13$ cm
To find : AB = ?
Solution : In right $\triangle$ OAB,
=> $(AB)^2=(OB)^2-(OA)^2$
=> $(AB)^2=(13)^2-(5)^2$
=> $(AB)^2=169-25=144$
=> $AB=\sqrt{144}=12$ cm
=> Ans – (B)
5) Answer (C)
Let length of one diagonal = $d$ cm and length of other diagonal = 9 cm
=> Area of rhombus = $\frac{1}{2}\times d_1d_2$
=> $\frac{1}{2}\times9\times d=54$
=> $d=\frac{54\times2}{9}$
=> $d=12$ cm
=> Ans – (C)
6) Answer (D)
Radius of circle = $r=10.5$ cm
=> Area = $\pi r^2$
= $\frac{22}{7}\times10.5\times10.5$
= $22\times1.5\times10.5=346.5$ $cm^2$
=> Ans – (D)
7) Answer (A)
Radius of hemisphere, $r=\frac{42}{2}=21$ cm
Total surface area = $3\pi r^2$
= $3\times\frac{22}{7}\times (21)^2$
= $66\times3\times21=4158$ $cm^2$
=> Ans – (A)
8) Answer (C)
Given : XY = 6 cm and sinX = 4/5 ———(i)
To find : YZ = ?
Solution : $cosX=\sqrt{1-sin^2X}$
=> $cosX=\sqrt{1-\frac{16}{25}}=\sqrt{\frac{9}{25}}=\frac{3}{5}$ ———-(ii)
Dividing equation (i) by (ii), => $tanX=\frac{4}{3}$
In right $\triangle$ XYZ,
=> $tan(X)=\frac{YZ}{XY}$
=> $\frac{4}{3}=\frac{YZ}{6}$
=> $YZ=\frac{4}{3}\times6=8$ cm
=> Ans – (C)
9) Answer (B)
Factorization of $1485961 = 23^2\times53^2$
=> Square root = $\sqrt{1485961}=\sqrt{23^2\times53^2}$
= $23\times53=1219$
=> Ans – (B)
10) Answer (B)
Only in an equilateral triangle, the orthocenter, circumcentre, Incenter and the centroid coincide each other at a point.
=> Ans – (B)
11) Answer (B)
Let the radius of the circle initially = $r=20$ cm
=> Area = $A=\pi r^2=\pi(20)^2=400\pi$
New radius = $r’=20-(\frac{25}{100}\times20)=15$ cm
=> New Area = $A’=\pi(15)^2=225\pi$
$\therefore$ Percent decrease in area = $\frac{(400\pi-225\pi)}{400\pi}\times100$
= $\frac{175}{4}=43.75\%$
=> Ans – (B)
12) Answer (C)
Let $l$ be the length of rectangle and breadth, $b=14$ cm
=> Perimeter = $2(l+b)=60$
=> $l+14=\frac{60}{2}=30$
=> $l=30-14=16$ cm
$\therefore$ Area = $16\times14=224$ $cm^2$
=> Ans – (C)
13) Answer (D)
Let radius of semi circle = $r$ cm
=> Perimeter of semi circle = $\pi r+2r=108$
=> $r(\frac{22}{7}+2)=108$
=> $r(\frac{22+14}{7})=108$
=> $r=108\times\frac{7}{36}$
=> $r=3\times7=21$ cm
=> Ans – (D)
14) Answer (A)
Side of cube = $a=7.5$ cm
=> Volume of cube = $a^3$
= $(7.5)^3=421.875$ $cm^3$
=> Ans – (A)
15) Answer (B)
ABC is an equilateral triangle with height = median = 9 cm
Now, O is the circumcentre of the triangle and it divides the median in the ratio 2:1
=> $AO=\frac{2}{(2+1)}\times9$
=> $AO=\frac{2}{3}\times3$
=> $AO=2\times3=6$ cm
=> Ans – (B)
16) Answer (B)
Number = $684\times686$
= $684\times(684+2)$
= $(684)^2+2(684)$
Now, to make it a perfect square, = $(684)^2+2(684)(1)+(1)^2$
= $(684+1)^2=(685)^2$
$\therefore$ 1 is added to make it a perfect square.
=> Ans – (B)
17) Answer (D)
Let length of rectangle = $l$ cm and breadth = $7$ cm
Also, diagonal = $d=25$ cm
=> $l^2=d^2-b^2$
=> $l=\sqrt{(25)^2-(7)^2}$
=> $l=\sqrt{625-49}=\sqrt{576}$
=> $l=24$ cm
$\therefore$ Perimeter = $2(l+b)$
= $2\times(24+7)=62$ cm
=> Ans – (D)
18) Answer (C)
Sum of all interior angles of regular polygon with $n$ sides = $(n-2)\times180^\circ$
=> Sum of interior angles of a regular hexagon = $(6-2)\times180^\circ=720^\circ$
Also, sum of exterior angle of an polygon = $360^\circ$
$\therefore$ Required difference = $\frac{(720-360)}{6}$
= $\frac{360^\circ}{6}=60^\circ$
=> Ans – (C)
19) Answer (B)
Let radius of cone = $r$ cm and slant height of cone = $l=9$ cm
Curved surface area of cone = $\pi rl$
=> $\frac{22}{7}\times r\times9=99$
=> $r=\frac{99}{9}\times\frac{7}{22}$
=> $r=\frac{7}{2}=3.5$ cm
$\therefore$ Diameter of cone = $2\times3.5=7$ cm
=> Ans – (B)
20) Answer (D)
9999 is the largest 4 digit number and $100^2= 10000$
This means that the closest square root of the largest perfect square is most likely 99. So $99^2 =9801$ is the largest perfect square of four digits.
=> Ans – (D)
