Preeti Khanna answered |
Total area of plot = 14 * 14 = 196m2
Horses can graze in quarter circle of radius = 7m
Grazed area = 4 * (pie r2)/4 = 154 m2
Area of plot when horses cannot reach = (196 - 154) = 42m2
Ungrazed area = 42 - 20 = 22m2
Horses can graze in quarter circle of radius = 7m
Grazed area = 4 * (pie r2)/4 = 154 m2
Area of plot when horses cannot reach = (196 - 154) = 42m2
Ungrazed area = 42 - 20 = 22m2

By the rule of chords, cutting externally, we get:
(9 + 6) * 6 = (5 + x) * 5
90 = 25 + 5x
5x = 65
x = 13 cm
90 = 25 + 5x
5x = 65
x = 13 cm

Palak Bose answered |
We know that the sum of the opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral is 180 degrees. Let the four angles be A, B, C, and D, with A and B being the angles divisible by 6 and 10, respectively.
Since A is divisible by 6 and B is divisible by 10, we know that A = 6m and B = 10n for some integers m and n.
Now, consider the opposite angles. Since the sum of opposite angles is 180 degrees, we have:
C = 180 - B = 180 - 10n
D = 180 - A = 180 - 6m
We want to find which of the given options the angles C or D are necessarily divisible by. Let's examine each option:
1. 3: Since B is divisible by 10, it is possible that B is divisible by 5 but not 3 (e.g. B = 10). In this case, C = 180 - B would not be divisible by 3. Also, A is divisible by 6, so A is always divisible by 3, which means D = 180 - A would never be divisible by 3. So, this option is incorrect.
2. 4: Since A is divisible by 6, it is possible that A is divisible by 2 but not 4 (e.g. A = 6). In this case, D = 180 - A would not be divisible by 4. Also, B is divisible by 10, so B is always divisible by 2, which means C = 180 - B would never be divisible by 4. So, this option is also incorrect.
3. 8: If A is divisible by 6, then it can be even or odd multiples of 6 (e.g. A = 6, 12, 18, ...). D will be 180 - A, which means D can be both even and odd (e.g. D = 180 - 6 = 174, D = 180 - 12 = 168, D = 180 - 18 = 162, ...). Since D can be both even and odd, it is not necessarily divisible by 8. Similarly, C can also be both even and odd, so it is not necessarily divisible by 8. Thus, this option is also incorrect.
4. None of these: Since none of the previous options work, the correct answer is None of these.

Let the measured of the required angle be P degree.
Then, its supplement = 180 – P
Now use the formula,
3P + P180°
⇒ P = 45°
Then, its supplement = 180 – P
Now use the formula,
3P + P180°
⇒ P = 45°

Understanding the Volume and Surface Area of Spheres
The problem states that the volumes of two spheres are in the ratio 27:125. To find the ratio of their surface areas, we need to understand the relationships between the two.
Volume of a Sphere
- The formula for the volume (V) of a sphere is given by V = (4/3)πr^3, where r is the radius.
- If the volumes of two spheres are in the ratio 27:125, we can express this as:
- V1/V2 = 27/125
Finding the Ratio of Radii
- Since volumes are proportional to the cube of the radii, we have:
- (r1^3)/(r2^3) = 27/125
- Taking the cube root on both sides gives us:
- r1/r2 = (27^(1/3))/(125^(1/3)) = 3/5
Surface Area of a Sphere
- The formula for the surface area (A) of a sphere is A = 4πr^2.
- Now, to find the ratio of the surface areas of the two spheres, we have:
- A1/A2 = (4πr1^2)/(4πr2^2) = (r1^2)/(r2^2)
Calculating the Surface Area Ratio
- Substituting the ratio of the radii:
- r1/r2 = 3/5
- Therefore, (r1^2)/(r2^2) = (3^2)/(5^2) = 9/25
Final Answer
- The ratio of the surface areas of the two spheres is 9:25, which corresponds to option 'D'.

Given:
Radius of the semicircle = 10 cm
Side of the square is along the diameter of the semicircle
To find:
Area of the inscribed square
Solution:
Let's draw the diagram and try to solve the problem.
[Insert Image]
1. Draw a semicircle of radius 10 cm.
[Insert Image]
2. Draw a diameter of the semicircle. Let's call it AB.
[Insert Image]
3. Draw a square ABCD with AB as one of its sides.
[Insert Image]
4. Since AB is the diameter of the semicircle, it is also the diagonal of the square ABCD.
[Insert Image]
5. Let's find the length of the side of the square.
Using Pythagoras theorem,
AB² = BC² + AC²
AB² = 10² + BC²
Since ABCD is a square, BC = CD = DA
AB² = 10² + BC² + BC²
AB² = 10² + 2BC²
BC² = (AB² - 10²)/2
BC = (AB² - 10²)/2√2
But AB = side of the square
Side of the square = (AB² - 10²)/2√2
Side of the square = (20² - 10²)/2√2
Side of the square = 10√2 cm
6. Now, we can find the area of the square.
Area of the square = (Side of the square)²
Area of the square = (10√2)²
Area of the square = 100 x 2
Area of the square = 200 cm²
Therefore, the area of the inscribed square is 200 cm².
Hence, the correct option is (D) 80 cm².
Radius of the semicircle = 10 cm

4. Since AB is the diameter of the semicircle, it is also the diagonal of the square ABCD.

5. Let's find the length of the side of the square.
Using Pythagoras theorem,
AB² = BC² + AC²
AB² = 10² + BC²
Since ABCD is a square, BC = CD = DA
AB² = 10² + BC² + BC²
AB² = 10² + 2BC²
BC² = (AB² - 10²)/2
BC = (AB² - 10²)/2√2
But AB = side of the square
Side of the square = (AB² - 10²)/2√2
Side of the square = (20² - 10²)/2√2
Side of the square = 10√2 cm
6. Now, we can find the area of the square.
Area of the square = (Side of the square)²
Area of the square = (10√2)²
Area of the square = 100 x 2
Area of the square = 200 cm²
Therefore, the area of the inscribed square is 200 cm².
Hence, the correct option is (D) 80 cm².

Complement of 30°20′ = 90° – ( 30°20′ ) = 90° – ( 30° + 20′ )

On the basis of question we draw a figure of a circle with centre O ,
Let OE = y cm
then OF = (y +1) cm
OA = OC = r cm
AE = 4 cm; CF = 3 cm
From ∆ OAE,
OA² = AE² + OE²
⇒ r² = 16 + y²
⇒ y² = r² – 16 ......(i)
From ∆OCF,
(y + 1)² = r² – 9 ..... (ii)
By equation (ii) – (i),
(y + 1)² – y² = r² – 9 – r² + 16
⇒ 2y + 1 = 7
⇒ y = 3 cm
∴ From equation (i),
9 = r² – 16
⇒ r² = 25
⇒ r = 5 cm
Let OE = y cm
then OF = (y +1) cm
OA = OC = r cm
AE = 4 cm; CF = 3 cm
From ∆ OAE,
OA² = AE² + OE²
⇒ r² = 16 + y²
⇒ y² = r² – 16 ......(i)
From ∆OCF,
(y + 1)² = r² – 9 ..... (ii)
By equation (ii) – (i),
(y + 1)² – y² = r² – 9 – r² + 16
⇒ 2y + 1 = 7
⇒ y = 3 cm
∴ From equation (i),
9 = r² – 16
⇒ r² = 25
⇒ r = 5 cm

We know that the internal bisector of angle of a triangle divides the opposite side internally in the ratio of the sides containing the angle.
Hence:
Hence:
In triangle ABD and ACD
Angle BAD = CAD (Given AD is the bisector)
Angle ABD = ACD (GIven)
there fore they are similar (AAA Property)
AB/BD = AC/CD
6/3 = 5/CD
CD = 2.5 cm
6/3 = 5/CD

Nilesh Banerjee answered |
Explanation:
Given: Sum of interior angles of a regular polygon = 1080°
Formula: Sum of interior angles of a regular polygon = (n-2) * 180°, where n is the number of sides of the polygon.
Solving the equation:
(n-2) * 180° = 1080°
n - 2 = 1080° / 180°
n - 2 = 6
n = 6 + 2
n = 8
Therefore, the number of sides of the regular polygon is 8, which corresponds to option 'B'.

Given Information
- The line AB is 6 m in length and is tangent to the inner of the two concentric circles at point C.
- The radii of the two circles are integers.
To Find
- The radius of the outer circle.
Solution
Let's consider the diagram below:
We can see that the radius of the inner circle is equal to the length of the perpendicular from the center of the circles to the line AB.
Let O be the center of the circles, and let OC be x. Then, by the Pythagorean theorem, we have:
OA^2 = OC^2 + AC^2
OB^2 = OC^2 + BC^2
Since OA = OB (both A and B are on the outer circle), we can subtract the two equations to get:
AC^2 - BC^2 = 0
(AC + BC)(AC - BC) = 0
Since AC and BC are both positive, we have AC = BC.
Therefore, the line AB is equidistant from A and B, which means it passes through the center O of the circles.
Let r be the radius of the outer circle. Then, we have:
OC = r - x (since x is the radius of the inner circle)
By the Pythagorean theorem, we also have:
AC^2 = r^2 - OC^2 = r^2 - (r - x)^2 = 2rx - x^2
Since AC = BC, we have:
2rx - x^2 = (6/2)^2 = 9
Simplifying, we get:
x(2r - x) = 9
Since x is an integer, and 2r - x is also an integer, we can see that x must be a factor of 9. The possible values of x are:
x = 1, 3, or 9
If x = 1, then 2r - x = 2r - 1 is odd, which means r is not an integer.
If x = 3, then 2r - x = 2r - 3 is odd, which means r is not an integer.
Therefore, we must have x = 9, which gives:
2r - x = 2r - 9
x(2r - x) = 9
Substituting x = 9, we get:
r = (x^2 + 9)/2x = (81 + 9)/18 = 5
Therefore, the radius of the outer circle is 5 m.
Answer: (a) 5 m

If x = 1, then 2r - x = 2r - 1 is odd, which means r is not an integer.
If x = 3, then 2r - x = 2r - 3 is odd, which means r is not an integer.
Therefore, we must have x = 9, which gives:
2r - x = 2r - 9
x(2r - x) = 9
Substituting x = 9, we get:
r = (x^2 + 9)/2x = (81 + 9)/18 = 5
Therefore, the radius of the outer circle is 5 m.

Given Information:
In triangle ΔABC, 2∠A = 3∠B = 6∠C
Solution:
Step 1: Finding the sum of angles in a triangle
In a triangle, the sum of all interior angles is always 180°.
Step 2: Expressing angles in terms of ∠A
Given, 2∠A = 3∠B = 6∠C
Let's express angles B and C in terms of angle A:
2∠A = 3∠B
∠B = 2/3∠A
Also,
2∠A = 6∠C
∠C = 1/3∠A
Step 3: Substituting angle values in the sum of angles formula
Now, substitute the expressions for ∠B and ∠C in terms of ∠A into the formula for the sum of angles in a triangle:
∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180°
∠A + 2/3∠A + 1/3∠A = 180°
(6/3)∠A = 180°
2∠A = 180°
∠A = 90°
Therefore, ∠A is equal to 90° (option c).

Ssc Cgl answered |
As given,
∠BOC = 110o
And, we know incentre of a triangle is a point where angle bisector of triangles meet.
So, which means ∠OCB =∠OBC
∠BOC +∠OCB+∠OBC = 180o
⇒∠OCB + ∠OBC = 180o − 110o
⇒∠OCB +∠OBC = 70o
Since, ∠ABC = 2∠OBC
∠ACB = 2∠OCB
So, ∠ABC+∠ACB = 2 × 70o
⇒∠ABC + ∠ACB = 140o
Now, in triangle ABC.
∠ABC +∠BAC +∠ACB = 180o
⇒∠BAC +140o = 180o
⇒∠BAC = 180o − 140o
⇒∠BAC = 40o
Hence, the correct answer is 40o.
∠BOC = 110o
And, we know incentre of a triangle is a point where angle bisector of triangles meet.
So, which means ∠OCB =∠OBC
∠BOC +∠OCB+∠OBC = 180o
⇒∠OCB + ∠OBC = 180o − 110o
⇒∠OCB +∠OBC = 70o
Since, ∠ABC = 2∠OBC
∠ACB = 2∠OCB
So, ∠ABC+∠ACB = 2 × 70o
⇒∠ABC + ∠ACB = 140o
Now, in triangle ABC.
∠ABC +∠BAC +∠ACB = 180o
⇒∠BAC +140o = 180o
⇒∠BAC = 180o − 140o
⇒∠BAC = 40o
Hence, the correct answer is 40o.

Let the two angles are x and y. Therefore, as per the given information,
x ‒ y = 44° and
x + y = 180° [As the total of supplementary angles is 180°] On solving these two linear equations we get,
2x = 224,
x = 112°.
Therefore the other angle y = 180° ‒ 112° = 68°
Hence, option C is correct.
