Question 1

The number of sides in two regular polygons are in the ratio 5: 4 and the difference between each interior angle of the polygons is 3o. Then the number of sides is

A	15, 12
B	30, 24
C	10, 8
D	21, 16

Question 1 Explanation:

$\displaystyle \begin{array}{l}Let\text{ }the\text{ }number\text{ }of\text{ }sides\text{ }be\text{ }5xand\text{ }4xrespectively\\\frac{\left( 2\times 5x-4 \right){{90}^{o}}}{5x}-\frac{\left( 2\times 4x-4 \right)\times {{90}^{o}}}{4x}={{3}^{{}}}\\\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\left[ \begin{array}{l}each\,\,\,\,\operatorname{int}erior\,\,angle\,\\=\left( \frac{2n-4}{n} \right)\times {{90}^{o}}\end{array} \right]\\\Rightarrow \left( 10x-4 \right)\times {{360}^{o}}-\left( 8x-4 \right)\times {{450}^{o}}=20x\times {{3}^{o}}\\\Rightarrow 120x-48-120x+60=2x\\\Rightarrow 2x=12\Rightarrow x=6\\Therefore\,\,\,Number\,\,of\,\,\,sides\\=30\,\,and\,\,24\end{array}$

Question 2

ABCD is a cyclic trapezium whose sides AD and BC are parallel to each other. If ∠ABC= 72^o, then the measure of the BCD is

A	162^o
B	18^o
C	108^o
D	72^o

Question 2 Explanation:

Since ABCD is a cyclic trapezium, so its non parallel sides will be equal. Also AD || BC, so ∠ABC= ∠BCD => ∠BCD=72^o Correct option is (d)

Question 3

If an exterior angle of a cyclic quadrilateral be 50^o, then the interior opposite angle is:

A	130^o
B	40^o
C	50^o
D	90^o

Question 3 Explanation:

The immediate internal angle = 180⁰-50⁰= 130⁰
The opposite internal angle = 180⁰- 130⁰ = 50⁰.
Correct option is (c).

Question 4

The ratio of the length of the parallel sides of a trapezium is 3: 2. The shortest distance between them is 15cm. If the area of the trapezium is 450 cm², the sum of the lengths of the parallel sides is

A	15 cm
B	36 cm
C	42 cm
D	60 cm

Question 4 Explanation:

$\begin{array}{l}\frac{1}{2}\times 15\times (\text{Sum of the length of two parallel sides})=450\\\text{Sum of length of parallel sides = 60}\text{.}\end{array}$

Question 5

If the incentre of an equilateral triangle lies inside the triangle and its radius is 3 cm, then the side of the equilateral triangle is

A	9√3cm
B	6√3cm
C	3√3cm
D	6 cm

Question 5 Explanation:

$\begin{array}{l}Let\text{ }the\text{ }side\text{ }of\text{ }equilateral\text{ }triangle\text{ }be\text{ }x.\\\frac{1}{3}.\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}x=3\\=>x=6\sqrt{3}\end{array}$
