Question 1: ABCD is a trapezoid where BC is parallel to AD and perpendicular to AB. Kindly note that BC< AD. Pis a point on AD such that CPD is an equilateral triangle. Q is a point on BC such that AQ is parallel to PC. If the area of the triangle CPD is $4\sqrt{\ 3}$, find the area of the triangle ABQ.

a) $2\sqrt{3}$

b) $4\sqrt{3}$

c) 4

d) $8\sqrt{3}$

e) None of the above

1) Answer (A)

Solution:

Given that, CPD is an equilateral triangle

$\angle\ CPD=\angle\ PDC=\angle\ DCP=60^{\circ\ }$

As AQ is parallel to PC $\angle\ CPD=\angle\ QAP=60^{\circ\ }$

As BC is parallel to AD $\angle\ QAP=\angle\ AQB=60^{\circ\ }$ ( alternate interior angles).

Given, Area of equilateral triangle CPD is $4\sqrt{\ 3}$

This implies, $\ \frac{\ \sqrt{3}a^2}{4}=4\sqrt{3}$

Solving, we get $a=\ 4$.

From figure, length of $AB$ = Height of $\triangle\ CPD=\frac{\sqrt{\ 3}a}{2}=2\sqrt{\ 3}$.

From $\triangle\ ABQ,\ BQ=\ \frac{\ AB}{\tan\ 60^{\circ\ }}=\frac{2\sqrt{\ 3}}{\sqrt{\ 3}}=2$

Area of $\triangle\ ABQ=\frac{1}{2}\times\ AB\times\ BQ=\ \ \frac{\ 2\times\ 2\sqrt{\ 3}}{2}=2\sqrt{\ 3}\ $

Option A is correct.

Question 2: A non-flying ant wants to travel from the bottom corner to the diagonally opposite top corner of a cubical room. The side of the room is 2 meters. What will be the minimum distance that the ant needs to travel?

a) 6 meters

b) $(2\surd{2} + 2)$ meters

c) $2\surd{3}$ meters

d) $2\surd{6}$ meters

e) $2\surd{5}$ meters

2) Answer (E)

Solution:

The shortest route ant takes to travel from the bottom corner to the diagonally opposite top corner is  shown below.

The route goes through lateral faces (vertical faces) of the cubical room.

The length of route, r = $\sqrt{\ \left(2+2\right)^2+2^2}$ = $\sqrt{\ 20}$ = $2\sqrt{5}$

Question 3: ABC is a triangle and the coordinates of A, B and C are (a, b-2c), (a, b+4c) and (-2a,3c) respectively where a, b and c are positive numbers.
The area of the triangle ABC is:

a) 6abc

b) 9abc

c) 6bc

d) 9ac

e) None of the above

3) Answer (D)

Solution:

The length of AB = $\left(b+4c\right)-\left(b-2c\right)=6c$  (X-coordinates of A&B are same).

The altitude of triangle ABC, CD = a-(-2a)=3a.

Area of triangle ABC = $\ \frac{\ AB\ \times\ CD}{2}$ = $\ \frac{6c\ \times\ 3a\ }{2}=9ac$

Option (D) is correct.

Question 4: ABC is a triangle with BC=5. D is the foot of the perpendicular from A on BC. E is a point on CD such that BE=3. The value of $AB^2 – AE^2 + 6CD$ is:

a) 5

b) 10

c) 14

d) 18

e) 21

4) Answer (E)

Solution:

Given that, $AD\bot\ BC$

$BE=3$

$BC=5$

Using Pythagoras’ theorem,

$AD^2+BD^2=AB^2$ …..(1)

$AD^2+DE^2=AE^2$……(2)

$AD^2+DC^2=AC^2$……(3)

(1) – (2) gives

$BD^2+DE^2=AB^2-AE^2$

$x^2-\left(3-x\right)^2=AB^2-AE^2$

$AB^2-AE^2=6x-9$

$AB^2-AE^2+6CD=6x-9+6\left(5-x\right)$       ($CD=\left(5-x\right)$)

$AB^2-AE^2+6CD=6x-9+30-6x$

$AB^2-AE^2+6CD=21$

Question 5: Find the value of
$\frac{\sin^{6}15^{\circ} + \sin^{6}75^{\circ} + 6\sin^{2}15^{\circ}\sin^{2}75^{\circ}}{\sin^{4}15^{\circ} + \sin^{4}75^{\circ} + 5\sin^{2}15^{\circ}\sin^{2}75^{\circ}}$

a) $\sin 15^{\circ} + \sin 75^{\circ}$

b) $\frac{6}{5}$

c) 1

d) $\sin 15^{\circ} \cos 15^{\circ}$

e) None of the above

5) Answer (C)

Solution:

$Let\ \sin^215^{\circ}\ =a\ and\ \sin^275^{\circ}\ =\ b\ $

Then the given equation becomes,

$\ \frac{\ a^3+b^3+6ab}{a^2+b^2+5ab}$

=$\ \frac{\ \left(a+b\right)^3-3ab\left(a+b\right)+6ab}{\left(a+b\right)^2-2ab+5ab}$     $\ \therefore\ \ a^3+b^3=\left(a+b\right)^3-3ab\left(a+b\right)$ , $\ \therefore\ \ a^2+b^2=\left(a+b\right)^2-2ab$

Using $\sin\left(\theta\right)\ =\cos\left(90-\theta\ \ \right)$

we get, $\sin^275^{\circ\ }=\cos^215^{\circ\ }$

now, a+b = $\sin^215^{\circ\ }+\sin^275^{\circ\ }$ = $\sin^215^{\circ\ }+\cos^215^{\circ\ }$ = 1.

The equation becomes, $=\ \frac{\ 1-3ab+6ab}{1-2ab+5ab}\ =\ \frac{\ 1+3ab}{1+3ab}\ =1\ $

Question 6: 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) $32\pi$

6) 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 7: 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

7) 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 8: 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

8) 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 9: 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) $\sqrt{5}$

9) 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 10: 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

10) 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.

Question 11: In triangle ABC, altitudes AD and BE are drawn to the corresponding bases. If $\angle BAC = 45^{\circ}$ and $\angle ABC=\theta\ $, then $\frac{AD}{BE}$ equals

a) $\sqrt{2} \cos \theta$

b) $\frac{(\sin \theta + \cos \theta)}{\sqrt{2}}$

c) 1

d) $\sqrt{2} \sin \theta$

11) Answer (D)

View Video Solution

Solution:

It is given, Angle BAE = 45 degrees

This implies AE = BE

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.

b) (4, 5)

c) (−3, 4)

d) (−4, 5)

12) Answer (D)

View Video Solution

Solution:

In a parallelogram, two diagonals of parallelogram bisects each other, which concludes that mid-point of both diagonals are the same.

Midpoint of AC = $\left(\ \frac{\ 1-2}{2},\ \frac{\ 1+8}{2}\right)$

Let the coordinates of vertex D be (x,y)

$\left(\ \frac{\ x+3}{2},\ \frac{\ y+4}{2}\right)=\left(\ \frac{\ 1-2}{2},\ \frac{\ 1+8}{2}\right)$

x = -4 and y = 5

The answer is option D.

c) $\frac{P^2}{2} – 2PR$

d) $\frac{P^2}{8} – \frac{R^2}{2}$

13) 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 14: 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

14) 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 = $3y+\frac{5y}{2}=\frac{11y}{2}=\frac{11}{2}\left(12\right)=66$
