A coin is tossed thrice. The probability of getting at least two tails is
  • A
    $\frac{4}{5}$
  • B
    $\frac{2}{3}$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{4}$
  • $\frac{1}{2}$

MCQ 41 Mark
If the area of a sector of a circle is $\frac{5}{18}$ of the area of the circle, then the sector angle is equal to
  • $100^{\circ}$
  • B
    $120^{\circ}$
  • C
    $190^{\circ}$
  • D
    $60^{\circ}$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$100^{\circ}$
(A) $100^{\circ}$
Explanation: We have given that area of the sector is $\frac{5}{18}$ of the area of the circle.
Therefore, area of the sector $=\frac{5}{18} \times$ area of the circle
$\Rightarrow \frac{\theta}{360} \times \pi r^2=\frac{5}{18} \times \pi r^2$
Now we will simplify the equation as below,
$\Rightarrow \frac{\theta}{360}=\frac{5}{18}$
$\therefore \theta=\frac{5}{18} \times 360$
$\therefore \theta=100$
Therefore, sector angle is $100^{\circ}$.

MCQ 61 Mark
The angle of depression of a car, standing on the ground, from the top of a $75 m$ tower, is $30^{\circ}$. The distance of the car from the base of the tower $($in metres$)$ is
  • A
    $25 \sqrt{3}$
  • $75 \sqrt{3}$
  • C
    $150$
  • D
    $50 \sqrt{3}$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$75 \sqrt{3}$
$AB$ is as tower and $AB = 75 m$ From$ A,$ the angle of depression of a car $C$ on the ground is $30^{\circ}$
Image
Let distane $\text{BC} = x$
Now in right $\triangle \text{ACB}$,
$\tan \theta=\frac{AB}{BC}$
$\Rightarrow \tan 30^{\circ}=\frac{75}{x}$
$\Rightarrow \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}=\frac{75}{x}$
$\Rightarrow x =75 \sqrt{3} m$
$\therefore \text{BC} =75 \sqrt{3} m$

$\left(\frac{1-\tan ^2 30^{\circ}}{1+\tan ^2 30^{\circ}}\right)$ is equal to:
  • A
    $\sin 60^{\circ}$
  • B
    $\tan 60^{\circ}$
  • C
    $\cos 30^{\circ}$
  • $\cos 60^{\circ}$
Answer
Correct option: D.
$\cos 60^{\circ}$
$\frac{1-\tan ^2 30^{\circ}}{1+\tan ^2 30^{\circ}}=\frac{1-\left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\right)^2}{1+\left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\right)^2}$
$=\frac{1-\frac{1}{3}}{1+\frac{1}{3}}$
$=\frac{\frac{2}{3}}{\frac{4}{3}}$
$=\frac{1}{2}$
$=\cos 60^{\circ}$

  • A
    $17$
  • B
    $15$
  • $11$
  • D
    $19$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$11$
Given: $D E \| B C$
$\therefore \frac{ AD }{ DB }=\frac{ AE }{ EC } $
$\Rightarrow \frac{4}{x-4}=\frac{8}{3 x-19}$ by using Thale's theorem
$\Rightarrow 12 x-76=8 x-32$
$\Rightarrow 4 x=44$
$\Rightarrow x=11$

MCQ 121 Mark
If (3, –6) is the mid-point of the line segment joining (0, 0) and (x, y), then the point (x, y) is:
  • A
    (6, - 6)
  • (6, -12)
  • C
    $\left(\frac{3}{2},-3\right)$
  • D
    (- 3, 6)
Answer
Correct option: B.
(6, -12)
(B) (6, -12)
Explanation: If (a, b) and (c, d) be the coordinates of any two points, then the coordinates of the mid-point joining those points be$\left(\frac{(a+c)}{2}, \frac{(b+d)}{2}\right)$.
The line segment is formed by points are (0, 0) and (x, y), whose mid-point is (3, -6).
Then,
$\frac{(0+x)}{2}=3$ and $\frac{(0+y)}{2}=-6$
or, $\frac{x}{2}=3$ or, $\frac{y}{2}=-6$
or, x = 6 or, y = -12
Therefore the required point is (6, -12).
