Fatima, Shreya, and Smita started a business by investing total ₹ 6,000. After a year, Fatima, Shreya, and Smita get profit shares of ₹ 50, ₹ 100, and ₹ 150 respectively. Smita invested in this business:
(a) ₹ 1,000
(b) ₹ 2,000
(c) ₹ 3,000
(d) ₹ 4,000
(c) ₹ 3,000
Explanation:
Ratio of profit = 50 : 100 : 150
= 1 : 2 : 3
So, Capitals = 1x : 2x : 3x
Sum of ratio = 1x + 2x + 3x = 6x
or, 6x = 6000
or, x = 1000
∴ Smita’s capital = 3x = 3000
If A : B = 2 : 3, B : C = 5 : 8, C : D = 6 : 7, then A : D =
(a) 2 : 7
(b) 7 : 2
(c) 5 : 8
(d) 5 : 14
(d) 5 : 14
Explanation:
text{A}over text{B} × text{B}over text{C} × text{C}over text{D}
= frac{2 × 5 × 6}{3 × 8 × 7}
= 5 : 14
‘O’ is the center of a circle and PQ is a diameter. R is a point on the circle such that PR = RQ, then the value of ∠RPQ:
(a) 30°
(b) 90°
(c) 60°
(d) 45°
(d) 45°
Explanation:
Since PR = RQ, triangle PRQ is isosceles, and ∠PRQ = 90° (because PQ is the diameter).
So, ∠RPQ = ∠RQP = 45°.

V = 4over 3π(2r)³
= 4over 3π × 2 × r³
= 32over 3πr³
The annual rate of compound interest is r% and if the first year principal is P, then the 2nd year principal is ___.
P(1 + rover100)
Explanation:
After one year, amount = Principal × (1 + rover100).
This amount becomes the 2nd year principal.
7√11 is an ___ number.

When all three dimensions of a cuboid are equal, it is called a cube.
State True or False: At least 3 persons are needed in partnership business.
False
Explanation:
A partnership can be formed with two or more persons. No rule requires at least 3.
State True or False: The relation between principal and amount is Principal < Amount.
True
Explanation:
Amount = Principal + Interest. Since Interest > 0,
Principal < Amount.
State True or False: The two roots of the equation x² = 100 are ±10.
True
Explanation:
x² = 100
⇒ x = √100 = ± 10
So roots are + 10 and – 10.
State True or False: If a and b are in inverse variation, then a/b = constant.
False
Explanation:
Inverse variation means a ∝ 1over b
⇒ ab = k (constant).
But aover b is not constant; it varies with b.
State True or False: Two concentric circles have only one common tangent.
False
Explanation:
Concentric circles (same center, different radii) have no common tangents. Tangents to one circle cannot be tangent to the other at the same time.
State True or False: The height, radius, and slant height of a right circular cone are always the three sides of a right-angled triangle.
True
Explanation:
In a right circular cone:
l² = r² + h²
So (height h, radius r, slant height l) form a right-angled triangle.
The annual interest is 1over16 part of its principal, then determine the interest of ₹ 690. The annual interest is for 8 months.
Principal (P) = ₹ 690
Simple interest = 1over16 × 690 = ₹ 43.125
Interest for 8 months = 8over12 × 43.125
= ₹ 2over3 × 43.125
= ₹ 28.75
The present population is 13,310. If the population be 17,280 after 3 years, what will be the rate of increase?
Future population (V) = 17,280
Initial population (Vo) = 13,310
rate (r) = r %
Time (n) = 3 years
A = P × (1 + r/100)n
or, 17,280 = 13,310 × (1 + r/100)³
or, 17280over 13310 = (1 + r/100)³
or, 1728over 1331 = (1 + r/100)³
or, (12over 11)³ = (1 + r/100)³
or, 1 + r/100 = 12over 11
or, r/100 = 12over 11 – 1
or, r = 1over 11 × 100 = 9 1over 11 %
The ratio of capitals of A, B, C is 1over text{x} : 1over text{y} : 1over text{z}, after a year there was a loss of Rs. z. Calculate the loss of C.
The ratio of capitals of A, B and C = 1over text{x} : 1over text{y} : 1over text{z}
= 1over text{x} × xyz : 1over text{y} × xyz : 1over text{z} × xyz
= yz + xz + xy
The loss of C = text{xy} over text{yz + xz + xy} × z
= text{xyz} over text{yz + xz + xy}
Find out the ratio of the sum and the product of two roots of the equation 7x² − 66x + 27 = 0.
Sum of roots (α + β) = 66over 7
Produt of root (α β) = 27over 7
Ratio of the sum and the product of two roots
= 66over 7 : 27over 7
= 66 : 27
= 22 : 9
Rationalize the surds of the denominator: {12oversqrt{15}-3}
= {12(sqrt{15}+3)over(sqrt{15})^2-3^2}
= {12(sqrt{15}+3)over15-9}
= {12(sqrt{15}+3)over6}
= 2√15 + 6
The radius of the circle with the center ‘O’ is 13 cm and a chord AB with the length of 10 cm on it. Calculate the distance of the chord AB from the center of the circle.

Radius (r) = 13 cm
BM = 10over 2 = 5 cm
Distance from the centre (OM) : OM² = 13² – 5²
or, OM² = 13² – 5² = 169 – 25 = 144
or, OM = √144 = 12 cm
AOB is a diameter of a circle whose center is O. The point C lies on the circle. If ∠OBC = 60°, find the value of ∠OCA.

Given:
- AOB is a diameter of the circle with center O.
- Point C lies on the circle.
- ∠OBC = 60°.
∠ACB = 90° (angle subtended by a diameter at any point on the circle is a right angle)
Triangle OBC is isosceles (OB = OC, both are radii of the circle)
Since ∠OBC = 60°, we also have ∠OCB = 60°.
∠OCA + ∠OCB + ∠ACB = 180° (The sum of angles in any triangle is 180°)
or, ∠OCA + 150° = 180°.
or, ∠OCA = 180° – 150° = 30°.
A circle with the center ‘O’. A point P is 26 cm away from the center of the circle, and the length of the tangent drawn from the point P to the circle is 10 cm. Calculate the length of the radius of the circle.

Let the radius of the circle be r.
The line from the center O to the point of tangency T (where the tangent meets the circle) is perpendicular to the tangent line PT at the point of tangency. Thus, we have a right-angled triangle OTP, where:
- OT = r (the radius of the circle),
- PT = 10 cm (the length of the tangent),
- OP = 26 cm (the distance from the point P to the center O).
Using the Pythagorean theorem:
OP² = OT² + PT²
Substitute the known values:
26² = r² + 10²
Simplify the equation:
676 = r² + 100
Now, solve for r²:
r² = 676 – 100 = 576
Finally, take the square root of both sides:
r = √576 = 24 cm
Thus, the length of the radius of the circle is 24 cm.
DE ∥ BC of ΔABC where D and E are two points on AB and AC, respectively. If AD = 5 cm, DB = 6 cm, and AE = 7.5 cm, calculate the length of AC.

Given
- AD = 5 cm
- DB = 6 cm
- AE = 7.5 cm
AB = AD + DB
or, AB = 5 cm + 6 cm
or, AB = 11 cm
(AD / AB) = (AE / AC) [Since DE || BC]
or, (5 / 11) = (7.5 / AC)
or, 5 × AC = 7.5 × 11
or, AC = (7.5 × 11) / 5
or, AC = 82.5 / 5
or, AC = 16.5 cm
If the height of two right circular cylinders is in the ratio of 1 : 2, and the perimeters of the base are in the ratio of 3 : 4, find the ratio of their volumes.
h1 : h2 = 1 : 2 — (i)
Perimeters of the base = 3 : 4
C1 : C2 = 3 : 4
or, 2πr1 : 2πr2 = 3 : 4
or, r1 : r2 = 3 : 4 — (ii)
Ratio of their volumes = V1 : V2
= πr1²h1 : πr2²h2
= r1²h1 : r2²h2
= {r_1}²over {r_1}² × {h_1}over {h_2}
= ({3over 4})² × {1over 2}
= {9over 16} × {1over 2}
= 9 : 32
If the length of the radius of a sphere is increased by 50%, find how much percent will be increased of its curved surface area.
Original radius = r (let)
New radius = 1.5 r
Original Surface Area = 4πr²
New Surface Area = 4π(1.5r)² = 9πr²
Increase % = text{9πr² − 4πr²}over text{4πr²} × 100% = = text{5πr²}over text{4πr²} × 100% = 125%
The length of the diagonal of a cube is 4√3 cm. Calculate the total surface area of the cube.
Diagonal = 4√3
⇒ a√3 = 4√3 (where a = side)
⇒ a = 4
TSA = 6a² = 6 × 16 = 96 cm²
At the same rate of simple interest in percent per annum, if a principal becomes the amount of Rs. 7,100 in 7 years and Rs. 6,200 in 4 years, determine the principal and rate of simple interest in percent per annum.
Let Principal = P, rate = r% per annum.
Amount after 7 years = 7,100
⇒ P + I7 = 7,100 —- (i)
Amount after 4 years = 6,200
⇒ P + I4 = 6,200 —- (ii)
Substracting (i) – (ii)
Interest for 3 years (I3) = 7,100 – 6,200 = 900
Interest for 1 years (I1) = 900 ÷ 3 = Rs. 300
Interest for 4 years (I4) = Rs. 300 × 4 = Rs. 1,200
Substituting I4 in equation (ii)
Principal = Amount − Interest = 6,200 − 1,200 = Rs. 5,000
Rate % = frac{300}{5000} × 100 = 6%
∴ Principal = ₹ 5,000; Rate = 6% p.a.
Three friends have started a business by investing Rs. 8,000, Rs. 10,000, and Rs. 12,000 respectively. They also took an amount as a bank loan. At the end of one year, they made a profit of Rs. 13,400. After paying the annual bank installment of Rs. 5,000, they divided the remaining money of the profit among themselves in the ratio of their capitals. Calculate the profit share of each.
Capitals Ratio = ₹8,000 : ₹10,000 : ₹12,000
= 4 : 5 : 6
Sum of Ratio = 4x + 5x + 6x = 15x
Total profit = ₹13,400
Bank installment = ₹5,000
Profit to share = ₹13,400 − ₹5,000 = ₹ 8,400
Profit share of Partner 1 = frac{4x}{15x} × ₹ 8,400 = ₹ 2,240
Profit share of Partner 2 = frac{5x}{15x} × ₹ 8,400 = ₹2,800
Profit share of Partner 3 = frac{6x}{15x} × ₹ 8,400 = ₹3,360
Calculate the difference between compound interest and simple interest on Rs. 20,000 for 2 years at 5% per annum.
Principal (P) = ₹ 20,000
Rate (r) = 5% p.a.
Time (t) = 2 years
Simple Interest (SI) = text{P × r × t} over 100
= 20,000 × 5 × 2 over 100
= ₹ 2,000
Compound Interest (annual compounding) = P[(1 + {rover100})² − 1]
= 20,000[(1 + {5over100})² − 1]
= 20,000[({105over100})² − 1]
= 20,000 × (11025over10000 − 1)
= 20,000 × (11025 – 10000over10000)
= 20,000 × (1025over10000)
= ₹ 2,050
∴ Difference (CI − SI) = 2,050 − 2,000 = ₹ 50
Solve: frac{1}{text{a+b+x}} = frac{1}{text{a}} + frac{1}{text{b}} + frac{1}{text{x}}, x ≠ 0, -(a + b)
Given: frac{1}{a+b+x}=frac{1}{a}+frac{1}{b}+frac{1}{x} with x ≠ 0, – (a + b)
or, frac{1}{a+b+x} – frac{1}{x} = frac{1}{a}+frac{1}{b}
or, frac{x – a – b – x}{(a+b+x)x} = frac{a + b}{ab}
or, – frac{(a + b)}{(a+b+x)x} = frac{a + b}{ab}
or, – frac{1}{(a+b+x)x} = frac{1}{ab}
or, – ab = (a+b+x)x
or, x2 + ax + bx + ab = 0
or, x (x + a) + b (x + a) = 0
or, (x + a)(x + b) = 0
x = -a or -b

Sum of roots = −4 + 3 = −1
Product of roots = (−4) × 3 = −12
Standard monic quadratic: x² − (sum)x + (product) = 0
⇒ x² − (−1)x + (−12) = 0
⇒ x² + x − 12 = 0
If m + 1over m = √3, then find the value of (a) m² + 1over m^2 and (b) m³ + 1over m^3.
Given: m + 1over m = √3
(a) m² + 1over m² = (m + 1over m )² – 2
= (√3)² – 2
= 3 – 2 = 1
(b) m³ + 1over m³ = (m + 1over m )³ – 3 (m + 1over m )
= (√3)³ – 3 (√3)
= 3√3 – 3 √3
= 0
Find the simplest value of: frac{√5}{text{√3 + √2}}
frac{√5}{√3 + √2} = frac{√5}{√3 + √2} × frac{√3 – √2}{√3 – √2}
= frac{√5(√3 – √2)}{(√3)² – (√2)²}
= frac{√5(√3 – √2)}{3 – 2}
= √5(√3 – √2)
= √15 – √10
If a = frac{√5 + 1}{√5 – 1} and ab = 1 calculate (frac{text{a}}{text{b}} + frac{text{b}}{text{a}})
Given: a = frac{√5 + 1}{√5 – 1}
⇒ a = frac{√5 + 1}{√5 – 1} × frac{√5 + 1}{√5 + 1}
⇒ a = frac{(√5 + 1)²}{(√5)² – 1²}
⇒ a = frac{(√5)² + 2√5 + (1)²}{(√5)² – 1²}
⇒ a = frac{5 + 2√5 + 1}{5 – 1}
⇒ a = frac{6 + 2√5}{4}
⇒ a = frac{3 + √5}{2}
Now, ab = 1
⇒ b = frac{1}{text{a}}
⇒ b = frac{2}{3 + √5}
⇒ b = frac{2}{3 + √5} × frac{3 – √5}{3 – √5}
⇒ b = frac{2(3 – √5)}{(3)² – (√5)²}
⇒ b = frac{2(3 – √5)}{4}
⇒ b = frac{(3 – √5)}{2}
a + b = frac{(3 + √5)}{2} + frac{(3 – √5)}{2}
a + b = frac{(3 + √5) + (3 – √5)}{2} = 3
a² + b² = (a + b)² – 2ab = 3² – 2 × 1 = 9
Now, (frac{text{a}}{text{b}} + frac{text{b}}{text{a}}) = (frac{text{a² + b²}}{text{ab}})
= frac{9}{1}
= 9
If 15 farmers can cultivate 18 bighas of land in 5 days, determine by using the theory of variation the number of days required by 10 farmers to cultivate 12 bighas of land.
No. of farmers = A, no. of days = B & area of land = C
No. of days is in inverse variation with no. of farmers, when area of land remains constant
i.e., B ∝ frac{1}{A} when C is constant
Again, No. of days is indirect variation with area of land; when No. of farmers remains constant
∴ B ∝ C when A is Constant.
According to the theorem on joint variation,
B ∝ frac{C}{A} when C & A both vary
∴ B = K frac{C}{A} where K is a constant of variation.
Given A = 15, B = 5, & C = 18.
5 = K frac{18}{15}
or, K = frac{15 times 5}{18} = frac{25}{6}
⇒ B = K frac{C}{A}
⇒ B = frac{25}{6} times frac{12}{10} = 5
∴ No. of days = 5.
If a : b = b : c, prove that frac{text{abc(a + b + c)³}}{text{(ab + bc + ca)³}} = 1
Given: a : b = b : c ⇒ ac = b²
abc = (ac)·b = b²·b = b³ — (i)
ab + bc + ca = b(a + c) + ac
ab + bc + ca = b(a + c) + b²
ab + bc + ca = b(a + b + c) — (ii)
Now, frac{abc(a+b+c)^3}{(ab+bc+ca)^3} = frac{b^3(a+b+c)^3}{big(b(a+b+c)big)^3} = 1
If dfrac{a}{1-a}+dfrac{b}{1-b}+dfrac{c}{1-c} = 1, then find the value of dfrac{1}{1-a}+dfrac{1}{1-b}+dfrac{1}{1-c}.
dfrac{a}{1-a}+dfrac{b}{1-b}+dfrac{c}{1-c} = 1
or, dfrac{a}{1-a} + 1 +dfrac{b}{1-b} + 1 +dfrac{c}{1-c} + 1 = 1 + 1 + 1 + 1
or, dfrac{a + 1 – a}{1-a} + dfrac{b + 1 – b}{1-b} + dfrac{c + 1 – c}{1-c} = 4
or, dfrac{1}{1-a}+dfrac{1}{1-b}+dfrac{1}{1-c} = 4
Prove that the opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral are supplementary.
Given: ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral of a circle with centre O.
To prove: ∠ABC + ∠ADC = 2 right angles and ∠BAD + ∠BCD = 2 right angles
Construction: A, O and C, O are joined.

Proof: The reflex angle ∠AOC at the centre and the angle ∠ABC on the circle are formed with the circular arc ADC.
∴ Reflex ∠AOC = 2∠ABC
∴ ∠ABC = ½ reflex ∠AOC ………(i)
Again, ∠AOC is the angle at the centre and ∠ADC is the angle on the circle formed with the circular arc ABC.
∴ ∠AOC = 2∠ADC
∴ ∠ADC = ½ ∠AOC ………(ii)
∴ From (i) and (ii), we get
∠ABC + ∠ADC = ½ reflex ∠AOC + ½ ∠AOC
= ½ (reflex ∠AOC + ∠AOC)
= ½ × 4 right angles = 2 right angles
Similarly, by joining B, O and D, O; it can be proved that, ∠BAD + ∠BCD = 2 right angles (Proved)
Prove that the perpendicular drawn to a chord which is not a diameter, from the center of the circle, bisects the chord.
Given : AB is a chord of the circle with its centre at O, which is not a diameter, and OD, is perpendicular on the chord AB.
To prove : OD, bisects the chord AB i.e., AD = DB.
Construction : O, A and O, B are joined.

Proof : In △ODA and △ODB,
∠ODA = ∠ODB (Each is right-angle)
OA = OB [radii of same circle] and
OD = OD (common side)
∴ △ODA ≅ △ODB [By R-H -S axiom of congruency]
∴ AD = DB [Corresponding sides of the congruent triangles] [proved]
ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral. Chord DE is the external bisector of ∠BDC. Prove that AE (or produced AE) is the external bisector of ∠BAC.
Two angles in circle produced by the arc BC are ∠BAC and ∠BDC.
∴ ∠BAC = ∠BDC …… (1)
Again, two angles in circle produced by the arc CE are ∠CAE and ∠CDE.
∴ ∠CAE = ∠CDE …… (2)
Now, ∠FDE + ∠CDE + ∠BDC = 1 straight angle = 180°.
or, ∠CDE + ∠CDE + ∠BDC = 180° [∵ DE is bisector of ∠FDC : ∠FDE = ∠CDE]
or, 2∠CDE + ∠BDC = 180° …… (3)
Again, (∠GAE + ∠CAE + ∠BAC) = 1 straight angle = 180° …… (4)
From (3) and (4) we get, 2∠CDE + ∠BDC = ∠GAE + ∠CAE + ∠BAC
or, 2∠CDE = ∠GAE + ∠CAE (from (1))
or, 2∠CAE = ∠GAE + ∠CAE (by the figure)
or, ∠CAE = ½ ∠GAC
∴ AE is the bisector of ∠GAC. Hence AE is the external bisector of ∠BAC.
Two chords, AB and CD of a circle with center O, when produced, intersect each other at the point P. Prove that ∠AOC−∠BOD = 2 × ∠BPC
Let AB and CD be two chords of a circle with centre O. When produced, AB and CD intersect at P.
To prove: ∠AOC − ∠BOD = 2 ∠BPC
Construction: Join B and C.
Proof: The central angle produced by arc AC is ∠AOC, and the angle in the circle subtended by the same arc is ∠ABC.
Therefore, ∠AOC = 2 ∠ABC …….. (1) [by theorem]
Similarly, the central angle produced by arc BD is ∠BOD, and the angle in the circle subtended by the same arc is ∠BCD.
Therefore, ∠BOD = 2 ∠BCD …….. (2)
Now, subtracting (2) from (1), we get:
∠AOC − ∠BOD = 2 ∠ABC − 2 ∠BCD …….. (3)
Again, in triangle BPC, external angle ∠ABC = ∠BPC + ∠BCP.
But here, ∠BCP = ∠BCD.
So, ∠ABC = ∠BPC + ∠BCD.
Multiplying both sides by 2,
2 ∠ABC = 2 ∠BPC + 2 ∠BCD …….. (4)
From (3) and (4),
∠AOC − ∠BOD = 2 ∠BPC (Hence proved)

Draw a circle with a radius of 2.6 cm and draw a tangent on this circle from an external point at a distance of 6 cm from the center of the circle.

Half of a cuboidal water tank with length of 2.1 m and breadth of 1.5 m is filled with water. If 630 liters of water is poured into the tank, then calculate the increased height of water.
Length = 2.1 m
Breadth = 1.5 m
Base area = 2.1 × 1.5 = 3.15 m²
Volume poured = 630 L = frac{630}{1000} m³ = 0.630 m³
Increase in height = frac{0.630}{3.15} m
= 0.2 m
= 20 cm
The water level rises by 20 cm.
The height of a right circular cylinder is twice its radius. If the height would be 6 times its radius, then the volume of the cylinder would be greater by 539 cubic dm. Calculate the height of the cylinder.
Given: height = 2r; if height = 6r, volume increases by 539 dm³.
Initial volume = πr²h = πr²(2r) = 2πr³
New volume = πr²h = πr²(6r) = 6πr³
Increase in volume = 6πr³ – 2πr³ = 4πr³
ATP: Increase in volume = 539
⇒ 4πr³ = 539
⇒ r³ = 539 × {7over 22 × 4}
⇒ r³ = {343over 8}
⇒ r = 3.5 dm
Height (actual) = 2r = 7 dm
In a right circular conical tent, 11 persons can stay. For each person, 4 sq. m space in the base and 20 cu.m. air are necessary. Determine the height of the tent put up exactly for 11 persons.
Base area needed for 11 person = 11 × 4 = 44 m²
Air (volume) needed for 11 person = 11 × 20 = 220 m³
For a cone:
base area = πr² = 44
⇒ r² = frac{44}{pi}
Volume = 220 m³
⇒ frac{1}{3}πr²h = 220
⇒ frac{1}{3} × π × frac{44}{pi} × h = 220
⇒ 44 × frac{h}{3} = 220
⇒ h = frac{220 times 3}{44} = 15 m
Calculate how many spherical marbles with 1 cm radius each may be formed by melting a solid sphere of iron having 8 cm of radius.
Radius of big sphere = 8 cm
Radius of each marble = 1 cm
Formula: Volume of a sphere = frac{4}{3}πr³
Number of marbles = Volume (big) ÷ Volume (one marble)
= frac{tfrac{4}{3}picdot 8^3}{tfrac{4}{3}picdot 1^3}
= 8³ = 512
The inner length, breadth, and height of a tea box are 7.5 dm, 6 dm, and 5.4 dm respectively. If the weight of the box filled with tea is 52 kg 350 gm, but in the empty state, its weight is 3.75 kg, then calculate the weight of 1 cubic dm of tea.
Inner dimensions: 7.5 dm × 6 dm × 5.4 dm
Volume of tea box = 7.5 × 6 × 5.4 = 243 dm³
Weight filled = 52 kg 350 g = 52.35 kg
Empty weight = 3.75 kg
Weight of tea = 52.35 − 3.75 = 48.60 kg
Weight per 1 dm³ = frac{48.6}{243} kg
= 0.2 kg
= 200 g
∴ 0.2 kg (200 g) per cubic dm
The lengths of sides containing the right angle of a right-angled triangle are given. Describe the procedure of construction of the circumcircle of the triangle.
Given: The two legs (sides containing the right angle) have known lengths.
Construction:
- Draw AB equal to one given leg.
- At A, construct a line perpendicular to AB. On this perpendicular, mark AC equal to the other given leg.
- Join BC to form right △ABC with the right angle at A.
- Construct the perpendicular bisector of BC to locate M, the midpoint of the hypotenuse BC.
- With center M and radius MB (or MC), draw a circle. This circle passes through A, B, and C — the circumcircle.
Describe the process of drawing one tangent to a circle from an external point.
Construction:
- Draw the given circle with center O and mark the external point P.
- Join OP.
- Find M, the midpoint of OP (use the perpendicular bisector of OP).
- With center M and radius OM, draw a circle having diameter OP.
- Let this circle cut the given circle at T.
- Join PT. PT is the required tangent (if you need only one, use this PT; the second tangent comes from the other intersection).
Find the value of a, if one root of the equation 2x² + ax + 8 = 0 is 1.
Substitute in 2x² + ax + 8 = 0:
2(1)² + a(1) + 8 = 0
2 + a + 8 = 0
a + 10 = 0
a = −10
What is the rate of simple interest per annum, when the interest of some money in 10 years will be frac{2}{5} part of its amount?
Given: In 10 years, interest = frac{2}{5} of the amount.
Let principal = P, rate = r% p.a., interest in 10 years = I.
Relation with amount:
I = frac{2}{5}(P + I)
⇒ 5I = 2P + 2I
⇒ 3I = 2P
⇒ I = frac{2}{3}P
Simple interest formula for 10 years:
I = P × r × 10 / 100
So, P × r × 10 / 100 = frac{2}{3}P
⇒ r × 10 / 100 = frac{2}{3}
⇒ r = frac{2}{3}times frac{100}{10}=frac{20}{3}
Which one of √8, √18, √27, √72 is not a similar surd?
√8 = 2√2
√18 = 3√2
√27 = 3√3
√72 = 6√2
Not similar: √27 (the others are multiples of √2).
Find the total surface area of a cone whose diameter of the base is 20 cm and slant height is 25 cm.
Diameter = 20 cm ⇒ radius (r) = 10 cm
Slant height (l) = 25 cm
Total Surface Area (TSA) of cone = πrl + πr²
= π × 10 × 25 + π × 10²
= 250π + 100π
= 350π cm²
TSA = 350 × frac{22}{7} = 1100 cm²
What will be the compound interest and simple interest for one year at the fixed rate of interest on a fixed sum of money?
For time = 1 year (same rate, same principal):
Simple interest = Pr/100
Compound interest = Pr/100
So, CI = SI for 1 year.
What is the value of a semicircular angle?
90°
Explanation: An angle standing on a semicircle (i.e., subtended by a diameter) is a right angle.
The arc is 180°, and an inscribed angle is half of its arc ⇒ 180° ÷ 2 = 90°.
Find the third proportional of 5, 10.
Let the third Proportion be x
5, 10, x ⇒ 5, 10, 10, x
Product of mean = 10 × 10 = 100
Product of extreme = 5 × x = 5x
Now, Product of extreme = Product of mean
⇒ 5x = 100
⇒ x = 20
∴ The third Proportion is 20.
What is the name of the solid which is composed of only one surface?
Sphere
Explanation: A sphere has one continuous curved surface with no edges or vertices—just a single surface all around.
What is the relation between the opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral?
They are supplementary (sum = 180°).
Explanation:
Each pair of opposite angles subtends arcs that together make the full circle (360°); an inscribed angle is half the arc it subtends, so each opposite pair adds to 180°.
