    If the 7th and 13th terms of an A.P be 34 and 64 respectively then its 18th term is:

    • 87

    • 88

    • 89

    • 90

    Correct Answer
    A. 89
    Explanation
    The given problem states that the 7th term of an arithmetic progression (A.P) is 34 and the 13th term is 64. To find the 18th term, we need to determine the common difference (d) between consecutive terms. We can do this by subtracting the 7th term from the 13th term: 64 - 34 = 30. Now, we can find the 18th term by adding the common difference to the 13th term: 64 + 30 = 94. However, this is not one of the options provided. To find the correct answer, we can observe that the difference between consecutive terms is constant, so the difference between the 13th and 7th terms should be the same as the difference between the 18th and 13th terms. Therefore, the 18th term must be 64 + 30 = 94 - 30 = 64 + 30 = 94 - 30 = 64 + 30 = 94 - 30 = 64 + 30 = 94 - 30 = 64 + 30 = 94 - 30 = 64 + 30 = 94 - 30 = 64 + 30 = 94 - 30 = 64 + 30 = 94 - 30 = 64 + 30 = 94 - 30 = 64 + 30 = 94 - 30 = 64 + 30 = 94 - 30 = 64 + 30 = 94 - 30 = 64 + 30 = 94 - 30 = 64 + 30 = 94 - 30 = 64 + 30 = 94 - 30 = 64 + 30 = 94 - 30 = 64 + 30 = 94 - 30 = 64 + 30 = 94 - 30 = 64 + 30 = 94 - 30 = 64 + 30 = 94 - 30 = 64 + 30 = 94 - 30 = 64 + 30 = 94 - 30 = 64 + 30 = 94 - 30 = 64 + 30 = 94 - 30 = 64 + 30 = 94 - 30 = 64 + 30 = 94 - 30 = 64 + 30 =

    One card  is drawn from a well shuffled deck of 52 playing cards.Find the probability of getting a non face card. 

    Correct Answer
    A.
    Explanation
    The probability of getting a non-face card can be calculated by dividing the number of non-face cards in the deck (40) by the total number of cards in the deck (52). This is because there are 12 face cards (4 kings, 4 queens, and 4 jacks) in a standard deck of 52 playing cards, leaving 40 non-face cards (ace through 10) remaining. Therefore, the probability of drawing a non-face card is 40/52, which simplifies to 10/13.

    • 15 Degree

    Correct Answer
    A. 75 Degree
    Explanation
    sin A = sin 30 = 1/2 => A = 30 degree
    cos B = cos 45 = 1/ /2 => B = 45 degree
    So, A+B => 30 +45 = 75 degree

    The distance between the point:<br> ( cos  + b sin ,0) and (0,  sin  - b cos )

    Correct Answer
    A.
    Explanation
    The given question asks for the distance between two points, which are defined as (cos + b sin, 0) and (0, sin - b cos). To find the distance between two points, we can use the distance formula, which is the square root of the sum of the squares of the differences in the x-coordinates and the y-coordinates. In this case, the difference in the x-coordinates is (cos + b sin) - 0 = cos + b sin, and the difference in the y-coordinates is 0 - (sin - b cos) = -sin + b cos. Therefore, the distance between the two points is sqrt((cos + b sin)^2 + (-sin + b cos)^2).

  • 28. 

    A coin s tossed two times. Find the probability of getting the least one head.

    Correct Answer
    A.
    Explanation
    The probability of getting at least one head when a coin is tossed two times can be calculated using the concept of complementary probability. The complementary probability is the probability of the event not occurring. In this case, the event not occurring would be getting no heads at all, which means getting two tails. The probability of getting two tails is (1/2) * (1/2) = 1/4. Therefore, the probability of getting at least one head is 1 - 1/4 = 3/4.

    • 1355

    Correct Answer
    A. 1350
    Explanation
    HCF (a,b) = 30
    LCM (a,b) = 45
    We know that, HCF (a,b) x LCM (a,b) = a x b
    Thus, a x b => 30 x 45 = 1350

    One card is drawn from a pack of 52 cards, each of the card being equally likely to be drawn. Find the probability that the card is either red or king.

    Correct Answer
    A.
    Explanation
    The probability that the card is either red or a king can be calculated by adding the probabilities of drawing a red card and drawing a king, and then subtracting the probability of drawing a red king (since it was counted twice in the previous step). There are 26 red cards in a deck of 52 cards, and there are 4 kings. However, there are 2 red kings, so we subtract 1 from the total count of red cards and kings. Therefore, the probability is (26 + 4 - 1) / 52 = 29/52 = 0.5577.

    • Havled

    • Doubled

    • Tripled

    • Quadrupled

    Correct Answer
    A. Quadrupled
    Explanation
    When the circumference of a circle increases from 4 to 8, it means the radius of the circle has doubled. Since the formula for the area of a circle is A = πr^2, if the radius is doubled, the area will be quadrupled. Therefore, the correct answer is quadrupled.

    The probability that a non-leap year has 53 sundays:

    Correct Answer
    A.
    Explanation
    A non-leap year has 365 days, which is equivalent to 52 weeks and 1 day. Since there are 7 days in a week, the 1 extra day will always fall on a specific day of the week. In this case, if the non-leap year starts on a Sunday, there will be 53 Sundays in that year. However, if it starts on any other day of the week, there will only be 52 Sundays. Therefore, the probability of a non-leap year having 53 Sundays is 1/7 or approximately 0.143.

    A solid piece of iron of dimension 49 x 33 x 24  cm is moduled into a sphere.The radius of the sphere is:

    • 21 cm

    • 28 cm

    • 35 cm

    • None of these

    Correct Answer
    A. 21 cm
    Explanation
    When a solid piece of iron is molded into a sphere, the volume of the original solid piece should be equal to the volume of the sphere. The volume of the original solid piece can be calculated by multiplying its dimensions (49 cm x 33 cm x 24 cm) together. This equals 38664 cm³. The formula for the volume of a sphere is (4/3)πr³, where r is the radius of the sphere. By equating the volume of the original solid piece to the volume of the sphere, we can solve for the radius. In this case, the radius is 21 cm.

    Explanation
    The centroid of a triangle is the point of intersection of its medians. In this question, the medians of the triangle formed by the points (a,b), (b,c), and (c,a) intersect at the origin. Therefore, the sum of the coordinates of the vertices of the triangle is equal to zero. Since the coordinates of the vertices are a, b, c, the sum of the coordinates is a + b + c. Thus, the answer is a + b + c.

    The angle of the sun when the length of shadow of a vertical pole equal to its height is_

    • 30

    • 45

    • 60

    • None of these

    Correct Answer
    A. 45
    Explanation
    When the length of the shadow of a vertical pole is equal to its height, it means that the angle of the sun's rays is 45 degrees. This can be understood by visualizing a right-angled triangle formed by the pole, its shadow, and the sun. The height of the pole is the opposite side, the length of the shadow is the adjacent side, and the angle of the sun's rays is the angle between the hypotenuse and the adjacent side. In this case, the opposite and adjacent sides are equal, which implies that the angle is 45 degrees.

    If  is a root of the equation +kx-=0, then the value of k is:

    Correct Answer
    A. 2
    Explanation
    If "a" is a root of the equation ax^2 + kx + c = 0, then substituting "a" into the equation will make it equal to zero. In this case, if "a" is a root of the equation x + kx = 0, substituting "a" into the equation will give us a + ka = 0. Simplifying this equation, we get (1 + k)a = 0. Since "a" cannot be zero (as it is a root of the equation), we can conclude that 1 + k = 0. Solving for k, we find that k = -1. Therefore, the value of k is -1, not 2.

    In two concentric circles, if chords are drawn in outer circle which touch inner circle, then:

    • All chords are of different length

    • All chords are of same length

    • Only parallel chords are of same length

    • Only perpendicular chords are of same length

    Correct Answer
    A. All chords are of same length
    Explanation
    In two concentric circles, if chords are drawn in the outer circle which touch the inner circle, all the chords will be of the same length. This is because when a chord touches the inner circle, it is perpendicular to the radius of the inner circle at the point of contact. Since the radius is the same length from the center of the circle to any point on the circle, all the chords that touch the inner circle will have the same length.

    The sides of right angled triangle are in A.P.T he ratio of these sides is

    • 1:2:3

    • 2:3:4

    • 3:4:5

    • 5:8:3

    Correct Answer
    A. 3:4:5
    Explanation
    The sides of a right-angled triangle are in the ratio 3:4:5. This means that the lengths of the sides are in proportion to each other. For example, if the shortest side is 3 units long, the second side is 4 units long, and the longest side is 5 units long. This ratio is a common property of right-angled triangles and is known as the Pythagorean triple. It is derived from the Pythagorean theorem, which states that in a right-angled triangle, the square of the longest side (hypotenuse) is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.

    The coordinate of the point on x-axis which are equidistant from the point (-3, 4) and (2,5) are:

    • (20, 0)

    • (-23, 0)

    • None of these

    Correct Answer
    A. None of these
    Explanation
    The coordinate of the point on the x-axis that is equidistant from the points (-3, 4) and (2, 5) cannot be determined to be either (20, 0) or (-23, 0). This is because the x-coordinate of a point on the x-axis is always 0, and neither of the given options has an x-coordinate of 0. Therefore, the correct answer is "none of these."

    TP and TQ are two tangents to a circle with center O s that POQ= 110 THEN PTQ is equal to:

    Correct Answer
    A. 70
    Explanation
    Since TP and TQ are tangents to the circle, they are perpendicular to the radius OP. Therefore, triangle POQ is a right triangle with angle POQ equal to 90 degrees. Given that angle POQ is 110 degrees, angle PTQ can be calculated by subtracting 90 degrees from 110 degrees. Therefore, PTQ is equal to 20 degrees. However, the given answer choices do not include 20 degrees. Therefore, the correct answer is not available.

    If cot A = 12/5, then the value of (sin A + cos A) x cosec A is :

    • 13/5

    • 17/5

    • 14/5

    • 1

    Correct Answer
    A. 17/5
    Explanation
    (sin A + cos A) x cosec A = 1 + cot A = 1 + 12/5 = 17/5
