The mean and median of a statistical data are $21$ and $23$ respectively. The mode of the data is:
  • $27$
  • B
    $23$
  • C
    $22$
  • D
    $17$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$27$
We know that
$3 \text { Median }=\text { Mode }+2 \text { Mean }$
$3 \times 23=\text { Mode }+2 \times 21$
$69-42=\text { Mode }$
$\text { Mode }=27$

A card is drawn at random from a pack of 52 cards. The probability that the card is drawn is a black king.
  • A
    $\frac{11}{13}$
  • B
    $\frac{3}{13}$
  • $\frac{1}{26}$
  • D
    $\frac{1}{52}$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$\frac{1}{26}$
(c) $\frac{1}{26}$
Explanation : Total number of outcomes $=52$
Favourable outcomes, in this case, $=2$ \{2 black kings $\}$
$\therefore P \text { (black king) }=\frac{\text { Favourable outcomes }}{\text { Total outcomes }}=\frac{2}{52}=\frac{1}{26}$

MCQ 41 Mark
If the area of a sector of a circle is $\frac{7}{20}$ of the area of the circle, then the angle at the centre is equal to
  • A
    $110^{\circ}$
  • B
    $100^{\circ}$
  • C
    $130^{\circ}$
  • $126^{\circ}$
Answer
Correct option: D.
$126^{\circ}$
We have given that area of the sector is $\frac{7}{20}$ of the area of the circle.
Therefore, area of the sector $=\frac{7}{20} \times$ area of the circle
$\therefore \frac{\theta}{360} \times \pi r^2=\frac{7}{20} \times \pi r^2$
Now we will simplify the equation as below,
$\frac{\theta}{360}=\frac{7}{20}$
Now we will multiply both sides of the equation by $360 ,$
$\therefore \theta=\frac{7}{20} \times 360$
$\therefore \theta=126$
Therefore, sector angle is $126^{\circ}$.

MCQ 51 Mark
A piece of wire $20 \ cm$ long is bent into the form of an arc of a circle subtending an angle of $60^{\circ}$ at its centre. The radius of the circle is
  • A
    $\frac{20}{6+\pi} cm$
  • B
    $\frac{30}{6+\pi} cm$
  • $\frac{60}{\pi} cm$
  • D
    $\frac{15}{6+\pi} cm$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$\frac{60}{\pi} cm$
Given: Length of arc $=20 \ cm$
$\Rightarrow \frac{\theta}{360^{\circ}} \times 2 \pi r=20$
$\Rightarrow \frac{60^{\circ}}{360^{\circ}} \times 2 \pi r=20$
$\Rightarrow \frac{\pi r}{3}=20$
$\Rightarrow r\left(\frac{\pi}{3}\right)=20$
$\Rightarrow r\left(\frac{\pi}{3}\right)=20$
$\Rightarrow r=\frac{60}{\pi} \ cm$

$\sqrt{\frac{1+\cos A}{1-\cos A}}=?$
  • A
    cosec A - cot A
  • B
    $-\operatorname{cosec} A \cot A$
  • $\operatorname{cosec} A+\cot A$
  • D
    $\operatorname{cosec} A \cot A$
Answer

MCQ 91 Mark
In the given figure, $O$ is the centre of the circle. If $PA$ and $PB$ are tangents, then the value of $\angle AQB$ is
Image
  • A
    $80^{\circ}$
  • B
    $60^{\circ}$
  • $50^{\circ}$
  • D
    $100^{\circ}$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$50^{\circ}$
Image
Since, $PA$ and $PB$ are tangents.
Also, tangent is perpendicular to radius at the point of contact.
$\therefore \angle PAO=90^{\circ} $ and $ \angle PBO=90^{\circ}$
In quadrilateral $\text{APBO};$
$\angle APB+\angle PAO+\angle PBO+\angle AOB=360^{\circ}$
$80^{\circ}+90^{\circ}+90^{\circ}+\angle AOB =360^{\circ}$
$\Rightarrow \angle AOB =100^{\circ} $
$\Rightarrow \angle AQB =\frac{1}{2}\ \angle AOB =50^{\circ}$

MCQ 101 Mark
If $O$ is the centre of a circle, $PQ$ is a chord and tangent $PR$ at $P$ makes an angle of $60^{\circ}$ with PQ , then $\angle POQ$ is equal to
Image
  • A
    $110^{\circ}$
  • $120^{\circ}$
  • C
    $100^{\circ}$
  • D
    $90^{\circ}$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$120^{\circ}$
Here $\angle RPO =90^{\circ}$
$\angle RPQ =60^{\circ}$ (given)
$\therefore \angle OPQ =90^{\circ}-60^{\circ}=30^{\circ} \angle PQO =30^{\circ}$ Also$ [$Opposite angles of equal radii] Now, In triangle $OPQ,$
$\angle OPQ+\angle PQO+\angle QOP=180^{\circ}$
$\Rightarrow 30^{\circ}+30^{\circ}+\angle QOP=180^{\circ}$
$\Rightarrow \angle QOP=120^{\circ}$

In the given figure, $DE\|BC$. If $AD = 3 \ cm, AB = 7 \ cm$ and $EC = 3 \ cm,$ then the length of $AE$ is
Image
  • A
    $4 \ cm$
  • $2.25 \ cm$
  • C
    $2 \ cm$
  • D
    $3.5 \ cm$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$2.25 \ cm$
Given, $AD =3 \ cm, AB =7 \ cm, EC =3 \ cm$.
Let $AE = x \ cm$
$\therefore A C=A E+E C=x+3 \ cm$
As we know that
$\frac{A D}{A B}=\frac{A E}{A C}$
$\Rightarrow \frac{3}{7}=\frac{x}{x+3}$
$\Rightarrow 3(x+3)=7 x$
$\Rightarrow 3 x+9=7 x$
$\Rightarrow 7 x-3 x=9$
$\Rightarrow 4 x=9$
$\Rightarrow x=\frac{9}{4}=2.25 \ cm$
$\therefore$ length of $AE =2.25 \ cm$

The values of $k$ for which the quadratic equation $16 x ^2+4 kx +9=0$ has real and equal roots are
  • $6,-6$
  • B
    $\frac{3}{4},-\frac{3}{4}$
  • C
    36,-36
  • D
    $6,-\frac{1}{6}$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$6,-6$
Given equation is; $16 x ^2+4 kx +9=0$
Here $a =16, b=4 k , c =9$
Now $D=b^2-4 a c=(4 k)^2-4 \times 16 \times 9=16 k^2-576$
Roots are real and equal if $D=0$ i,e. $b ^2-4 ac =0$
$\Rightarrow 16 k^2-576=0$
$\Rightarrow k^2-36=0$
$\Rightarrow k^2=36=( \pm 6)^2$
$\Rightarrow k= \pm 6$

  • A
    $3$
  • B
    $1$
  • $2$
  • D
    $4$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$2$
Explanation :

$117=65 \times 1+52$
$65=52 \times 1+13$
$52=13 \times 4+0 \ ($ zero remainder$)$
Therefore $,\text{HCF} \ (117,65)$ is $13$
Now,
$\therefore 65 m-117=13$
$\Rightarrow 65 m=13+117$
$\Rightarrow 65 m=130$
$\Rightarrow m=2$
