Q:

The altitude drawn to the base of an isosceles triangle is 8cm and the perimeter is 32cm. Find the area of the triangle?

A) 50	B) 60
C) 70	D) 80

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 60

Explanation:

let ABC be the isosceles triangle, the AD be the altitude

Let AB = AC = x then BC= 32-2x [because parameter = 2 (side) + Base]

since in an isoceles triange the altitude bisects the base so

BD = DC = 16-x

In a triangle ADC, ${(A C)}^{2} = {(A D)}^{2} + {(D C)}^{2}$

$x^{2} = 8^{2} + {(16 - x)}^{2}$ $\Rightarrow x = 10$

BC = 32-2x = 32-20 = 12 cm

Hence, required area = $\frac{1}{2} * B C * A D$ = $\frac{1}{2} * 12 * 10$ = 60 sq cm

Q:

Find the next number in the sequence?

28, 16, 28, 76, 274

A) 1233	B) 1243
C) 1256	D) 1276

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 1243

Explanation:

Given number sequence is 28, 16, 28, 76, 274

Here the sequence follows a pattern that

28

28 x 0.5 + 2 = 14 + 2 = 16

16 x 1.5 + 4 = 24 + 4 = 28

28 x 2.5 + 6 = 70 + 6 = 76

76 x 3.5 + 8 = 266 + 8 = 274

274 x 4.5 + 10 = 1233 + 10 = 1243

Hence, the next number in the given number sequence is 1243.

Q:

At what angle the hands of a clock are inclined at 15 minutes past 5?

A) 57.5 degrees	B) 67.5 degrees
C) 77.5 degrees	D) 87.5 degrees

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 67.5 degrees

Explanation:

Angle traced by hour hand in $\frac{21}{4}$ 21 hrs = ${(\frac{360}{12} \times \frac{21}{4})}^{0}$ = $157 \frac{1^{0}}{2}$

Angle traced by min. hand in 15 min = ${(\frac{360}{12} \times 15)}^{0}$ = $90^{0}$

$\therefore$ Required Angle = ${(157 \frac{1}{2})}^{0} - 90^{0}$ = $67 \frac{1^{0}}{2}$

Q:

A sum of Rs.1550 was lent partly at 8% p.a. simple interest. The total interest received after 3 years was Rs.300. The ratio of the money lent at 5% to that lent at 8% is :

A) 5:8	B) 6:7
C) 16:15	D) 17:18

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 16:15

Explanation:

let the sum lent at 5% be Rs.x and that lent at 8% be Rs.(1550-x). then,

Interest on x at 5% for 3 years + interest on (1550-x) at 8% for 3 years = 300

$\frac{x * 5 * 3}{100} + \frac{(1500 - x) * 8 * 3}{100} = 300$

x=800

Required ratio = x : (1550-x) = 800 : (1550-800) = 800 : 750 = 16 : 15

A) Rs.174	B) Rs.274
C) Rs.374	D) Rs.474

Answer & Explanation Answer: D) Rs.474

Explanation:

Area of 4 walls = 2(l+b)h
=2(10+7) x 5 = 170 sq m
Area of 2 doors and 3 windows = 2(1x3)+(2x1.5)+2(1x1.5) = 12 sq m
area to be planted = 170 -12 = 158 sq m
