In the figure given above, C and D are points on the semi-circle described on AB as diameter. If ∠ABD = 75° and ∠DAC = 35°, then what is the ∠BDC?
(a) 90°
(b) 130°
(c) 110°
(d) 100°
The correct answers to the above question in:
Answer: (b)
Since, DADB is a right angled triangle at D.
∴ ∠DAB = 180° – (90° + 75°)
⇒ ∠DAB = 15°
Also, ABCD is cyclic quadrilateral.
∴ ∠CAB + ∠BDC = 180°
⇒ ∠BDC = 180° – (35° + 15°) = 130°

Question : 1
The probability that at least one of the events A and B occurs is 0.7 and they occur simultaneously with probability 0.2. Then P($\ov{A}$) + P($\ov{B}$) =
a) 0.6
b) 1.1
c) 1.8
d) 0.4
Answer »Answer: (b)
We have P (A ∪ B) = 0.7 and P (A ∩ B) = 0.2
Now, P(A ∪ B) = P(A) + P(B) - P (A ∩ B)
⇒P(A) + P(B) = 0.9⇒1-P($\ov{A}$) + 1 - P($\ov{B}$) = 0.9
⇒P($\ov{A}$) + P($\ov{B}$) = 1.1
Question : 2
The number of ways of choosing a committee of 2 women and 3 men from 5 women and 6 men, if Mr. A refuses to serve on the committee if Mr. B is a member and Mr. B can only serve, if Miss C is the member of the committee, is
a) 84
b) 124
c) 60
d) None of these
Answer »Answer: (b)
(i) Miss C is taken
(1) B included ⇒A excluded ⇒$^4C_1 . ^4C_2$ = 24
(2) B excluded ⇒$^4C_1 . ^5C_3$ = 40
(ii) Miss C is not taken
⇒B does not comes ; $^4C_2 . ^5C_3$ = 60⇒Total = 124
Question : 3
The probabilities of four cricketers A, B, C and D scoring more than 50 runs in a match are $1/2 , 1/3 , 1/4$ and $1/{10}$ . It is known that exactly two of the players scored more than 50 runs in a particular match. The probability that these players were A and B is
a) $5/6$
b) $1/6$
c) ${27}/{65}$
d) None of these
Answer »Answer: (c)
Let $E_1$ be the event that exactly two players scored more than 50 runs then P$(E_1) = 1/2 × 1/3 × 3/4 × 9/{10} + 1/2 × 2/3 × 1/4 × 9/{10} + 1/2 × 2/3 × 3/4 × 1/{10} + 1/2 × 1/3 × 1/4 × 9/{10} + 1/2 × 1/3 × 3/4 × 1/{10} + 1/2 × 2/3 × 1/4 × 1/{10} = {65}/{240}$
Let $E_2$ be the event that A and B scored more than 50 runs, then P$(E_1 ∩ E_2) = 1/2 × 1/3 × 3/4 × 9/{10} = {27}/{240}$
∴ Desired probability
= $P(E_2/E_1) = {P(E_1 ∩ E_2)}/{P(E_1)} = {27}/{65}$
Question : 4
ABC and XYZ are two similar triangles with ∠C = ∠Z, whose areas are respectively 32 $cm^2$ and 60.5 $cm^2$ . If XY = 7.7 cm, then what is AB equal to?
a) 6.0 cm
b) 5.6 cm
c) 5.8 cm
d) 6.2 cm
Answer »Answer: (b)
We know that when two triangles are similar then ratio of their areas is equal to square of corresponding sides.
${\text"area of ΔABC"}/{\text"area of ΔXYZ"} = {AB^2}/{XY^2} ⇒ {32}/{60.5} = {AB^2}/{(7.7)^2}$
⇒ ${32 × 59.29}/{60.5} = AB^2 ⇒ 31.36 = AB^2$
∴ AB = $√{31.36}$ = 5.6 cm
Question : 5
a, b, c, b are non-zero integers such that (ab) divides (cd). If a and c are coprime, then which one of the following is correct?
a) a is a factor of d
b) a is a factor of c
c) a is a factor of b
d) d is a factor of a
Answer »Answer: (a)
Since we are given that a and c are co-prime i.e. HCF of a and c is 1, therefore we can say that a definitely divides d exactly.
So, a is a factor of d.
Question : 6
If a square of side x and an equilateral triangle of side y are inscribed in a circle, then what is the ratio of x to y ?
a) $3/√2$
b) $√{2/3}$
c) $√{3/2}$
d) $√2/3$
Answer »Answer: (b)
Let Radius of circle be r
Case I (Square)
side = x
$x^2 + x^2 = (2r)^2$
$2x^2 = 4r^2$
x = $√2$r
Case II (equilateral triangle)
y cos30° = h
y × $√3/2$ = h
r = $2/3 × √3/2$ y
r = $y/√3$
[if h= 3 r = 2]
$y/{2r} = √3/2$
y = ${2 √3r}/2 = √3r$
$x/y = {√2 r}/{√3 r} = √{2/3}$
