Raghav Bansal answered
 Let x be the common angle among all the four angles of a quadrilateral.
As per angle sum property, we know:
4x+5x+10x+11x = 360°
30x = 360°
x = 12°
Hence, angles are
4x = 4 (12) = 48°
5x = 5 (12) = 60°
10x = 10 (12) = 120°
11x = 11 (12) = 132°

Indu Gupta answered
To show: ∠PSR + ∠PQR = 180°
∠SPQ + ∠SRQ = 180°
In △DSA,
∠DAS + ∠ADS + ∠DSA = 180° (angle sum property)
+ ∠ SA = 180° (since RD and AP are bisectors of ∠D and ∠A)
∠DSA = 180°
∠PSR = 180°−
(∵ ∠DSA = ∠PSR are vertically opposite angles)
Similarly,
∠PQR = 180°− 

Adding (i) and (ii), we get, ∠PSR + ∠PQR = 180°
=360° − 1/2 ​× (∠A + ∠B + ∠C + ∠D)
 
=360°− 1/2​ × 360° = 180° ∴ ∠PSR + ∠PQR = 180°
In quadrilateral PQRS,
∠SPQ + ∠SRQ + ∠PSR + ∠PQR = 360°
=> ∠SPQ + ∠SRQ + 180° = 360°
=> ∠SPQ + ∠SRQ = 180°
Hence, showed that opposite angles of PQRS are supplementary.

  • c)
    PQ2−PR2 = QM2 − MR2
  • d)
    PQ2−PM2 = QM.MR.

Let the two similar triangles be ΔABC and ΔDEF such that ar(ΔABC) = 100 cm2 and ar(ΔDEF) = 49 cm2.
Let AM and DN be the respective altitudes of ΔABC and ΔDEF.
Since the ratio of the areas of two similar triangles is equal to the ratio of the squares of their corresponding altitudes

Consecutive angles of a Parallelogram are
  • a)
    Supplementary
  • b)
    Acute
  • c)
    Complementary
  • d)
    Equal
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Option A (supplementary)As one of the basic properties of parallelograms is that any pair of consecutive angles are supplementary.

The Diagonals AC and BD of a Parallelogram ABCD intersect each other at the point O such that ∠DAC = 30 and ∠AOB = 70. Then, ∠DBC?
  • a)
    30
  • b)
    45
  • c)
    35
  • d)
    40
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

∠ OAD = ​∠ OCB = 30
(Alternate interior angles)
∠ AOB + ∠ BOC = 180
(Linear pair of angles)
∴ ∠ BOC =180 − 70 = 110
(∠ AOB = 70)
In ∆ BOC, we have:
∠ OBC = 180 − (110 + 30) = 40
∴ ​∠ DBC = 40

Four horses are tethered at four comers of a square plot of side 14 m so that the adjacent horses can just reach one another. There is a small circular pond of area 20 m2 at the centre. Find the ungrazed area.
  • a)
    42 m2
  • b)
    22 m2
  • c)
    84 m2
  • d)
    168 m2
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Preeti Khanna answered
Total area of plot = 14 * 14 = 196m2
Horses can graze in quarter circle of radius = 7m
Grazed area = 4 * (pie r2)/4 = 154 m2
Area of plot when horses cannot reach = (196 - 154) = 42m2
Ungrazed area = 42 - 20 = 22m2

In Parallelogram ABCD, bisectors of angles A and B intersect each other at O. The measure of ∠AOB is
  • a)
    120
  • b)
    60
  • c)
    90
  • d)
    30
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

In a parallelogram ABCD, the bisectors of angles A and B intersect at point O. The following explanation details the calculation of the measure of ∠AOB.
Parallelogram Properties
In parallelogram ABCD, angles A and B are supplementary, which means:
∠A + ∠B = 180°
Angle Bisectors
The bisectors of angles A and B intersect at O, forming angles:
∠OAB = ½∠A and ∠OBA = ½∠B
Forming ∠AOB
Angle ∠AOB can be calculated as:
∠AOB = 360° - (∠OAB + ∠OBA + ∠AOB'), where ∠AOB' is the angle opposite ∠AOB within triangle AOB.
Sum in Triangle AOB
In triangle AOB, the sum of angles is:
∠OAB + ∠OBA + ∠AOB' = 180°
Using Supplementary Angles
Given that ∠A and ∠B are supplementary:
∠AOB' = 180° - (½∠A + ½∠B) = 180° - ½ × 180° = 90°
Calculating ∠AOB
Since ∠AOB and ∠AOB' form a straight line at point O:
∠AOB = 360° - 180° - 90° = 90°
Therefore, the measure of ∠AOB is 90°.

The line segments joining the mid points of the sides of a triangle form four triangles each of which is :
  • a)
    Similar to the original triangle
  • b)
    Congruent to the original triangle
  • c)
    An equilateral triangle
  • d)
    An isosceles triangle
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Krishna Iyer answered
Given :△ABC, D, E and F are mid points of AB, BC, CA respectively.
Using mid point theorem we prove that □ADEF, □DBEF and □DECF are parallelograms. The diagonal of a parallelogram divides the parallelogram into two congruent triangles. So all triangles are congruent to each other. And each small triangle is similar to the original triangle.

In ΔABC, AB = 5 cm, AC = 7 cm. If AD is the angle bisector of ∠A. Then BD : CD is:
  • a)
    25 : 49
  • b)
    49 : 25
  • c)
    6 : 1
  • d)
    5 : 7
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

In ∆ABC ,if AD is angle bisector of angle A,
Then ,AB:AC=BD:DC (by internal angle bisector theorem)
Then ,BD=5cm ,BC=7:5 cm
=>DC=7.5-5=2.5
AB:AC=BD:DC=5:2.5=2:1

ABCD is a Rectangle. Find the values of x and y?

    20 and 10
  • b)
    25 and 5
  • c)
    24 and 6
  • d)
    22 and 8
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Om Chawla answered
ABCD is a rectangle.
∴ AB = CD
⇒ 30 = x + y
or x + y = 30 ..... (i)
Similarly, AD = BC
⇒ 14 = x - y
or x - y = 14 .......(ii)
On adding eq. (i) and (ii), we get
2x = 44
⇒ x = 22
Putting the value of x in eq. (i), we get
22 + y = 30
⇒ y = 30 -22
⇒ y = 8
So, x = 22, y = 8.

In ΔABC, AB = 3 cm, AC = 4 cm and AD is the bisector of ∠A. Then, BD : DC is :
  • a)
    9 : 16
  • b)
    16 : 9
  • c)
    3 : 4
  • d)
    4 : 3
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Let's Tute answered
The angle bisector theoremstates that an angle bisector divides the opposite side of a triangle into two segments that are proportional to the triangle's other two sides. In other words,
AB/BD = AC/CD.
Now
AB/AC=BD/DC
Which is the required ratio .
Thats how BD/DC=3/4

Given a triangular prism, then what can we conclude about the lateral faces?
  • a)
    Faces are rectangle
  • b)
    Faces are Trapezium
  • c)
    Faces are Prism
  • d)
    both rectangles Faces are Parallelogram
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Sarita Reddy answered
In a triangular prism, the bases are triangles and the lateral faces are parallelograms.
Thus it can be both rectangles and parallelograms.
So, option (D) is correct.
If the faces are rectangles, then we call it as right triangular prism
Observe the following figure.
It is clear that the faces of the above figure are rectangles and hence it is right triangular prism.

A cyclic quadrilateral is such that two of its adjacent angles are divisible by 6 and 10 respectively. One of the remaining angles will necessarily be divisible by:
  • a)
    3
  • b)
    4
  • c)
    8
  • d)
    None of these
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Palak Bose answered
We know that the sum of the opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral is 180 degrees. Let the four angles be A, B, C, and D, with A and B being the angles divisible by 6 and 10, respectively.

Since A is divisible by 6 and B is divisible by 10, we know that A = 6m and B = 10n for some integers m and n.

Now, consider the opposite angles. Since the sum of opposite angles is 180 degrees, we have:

C = 180 - B = 180 - 10n
D = 180 - A = 180 - 6m

We want to find which of the given options the angles C or D are necessarily divisible by. Let's examine each option:

1. 3: Since B is divisible by 10, it is possible that B is divisible by 5 but not 3 (e.g. B = 10). In this case, C = 180 - B would not be divisible by 3. Also, A is divisible by 6, so A is always divisible by 3, which means D = 180 - A would never be divisible by 3. So, this option is incorrect.

2. 4: Since A is divisible by 6, it is possible that A is divisible by 2 but not 4 (e.g. A = 6). In this case, D = 180 - A would not be divisible by 4. Also, B is divisible by 10, so B is always divisible by 2, which means C = 180 - B would never be divisible by 4. So, this option is also incorrect.

3. 8: If A is divisible by 6, then it can be even or odd multiples of 6 (e.g. A = 6, 12, 18, ...). D will be 180 - A, which means D can be both even and odd (e.g. D = 180 - 6 = 174, D = 180 - 12 = 168, D = 180 - 18 = 162, ...). Since D can be both even and odd, it is not necessarily divisible by 8. Similarly, C can also be both even and odd, so it is not necessarily divisible by 8. Thus, this option is also incorrect.

4. None of these: Since none of the previous options work, the correct answer is None of these.

So, the correct answer is option 4: None of these.

ABCD is a Parallelogram in which AB = 9.5cm and its perimeter is 30cm. Find the length of each side of the Parallelogram?
  • a)
    9.5cm, 9.5cm, 5.6cm, 5.4cm
  • b)
    9.5cm, 9.5cm, 5.4cm, 5.6cm
  • c)
    9.5cm, 9.5cm, 5.5cm, 5.5cm
  • d)
    10cm, 10cm, 11cm, 11cm
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Shubham Sharma answered
We know that the perimeter of parallelogram ABCD can be written as
Perimeter = AB + BC + CD + DA
We know that opposite sides of parallelogram are equal
AB = CD and BC = DA
By substituting the values
Perimeter = 9.5 + BC + 9.5 + BC
It is given that perimeter = 30 cm
So we get
30 = 19 + 2BC
It can be written as
2BC = 30 – 19
By subtraction
2BC = 11
By division we get
BC = 5.5 cm
Therefore, AB = 9.5 cm, BC = 5.5 cm, CD = 9.5 cm and DA = 5.5 cm.

Given Rectangle ABCD and P, Q, R and S are the mid-points of the sides AB, BC, CD and DA res. If length of a diagonal of Rectangle is 8cm, then the quadrilateral PQRS is a
  • a)
    Rectangle with one side 4cm
  • b)
    Parallelogram with one side 4cm
  • c)
    Square with one side 4 cm
  • d)
    Rhombus with each side 4cm
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

We will use the mid-point theorem here. It states that the line segment joining the mid-points of any two sides of the triangle is parallel to the third side and is half of it. 

Let us join AC and BD. In △ABC,
P and Q are the mid-points of AB and BC respectively.
∴ PQ || AC and PQ = 1/2 AC (Mid-point theorem) ... (1)
Similarly, in △ADC,
SR || AC and SR = 1/2 AC (Mid-point theorem) ... (2)
Clearly, PQ || SR and PQ = SR [From equation (1) and (2)]
Since in quadrilateral PQRS, one pair of opposite sides are equal and parallel to each other, it is a parallelogram.
∴ PS || QR and PS = QR (Opposite sides of the parallelogram) ... (3)
In △BCD, Q and R are the mid-points of side BC and CD respectively.
∴ QR || BD and QR = 1/2 BD (Mid-point theorem) ... (4)
However, the diagonals of a rectangle are equal.
∴ AC = BD ... (5)
Thus, QR = 1/2 AC
Also, in △BAD
PS || BD and PS = 1/2 BD
Thus, QR = PS .... (6)
By using Equations (1), (2), (3), (4), and (5), we obtain
PQ = QR = SR = PS
Therefore, PQRS is a rhombus.

Valor Academy answered
∠B = 90°
∠C - ∠D = 60°
∠A - ∠C - ∠D = 10°.......(1)
∠A + ∠C + ∠D = 360° - 90° = 270° (from Angle sum property of quadrilateral)
On adding,
∠A + ∠C + ∠D = 270°
∠A - ∠C - ∠D = 10°
2∠A = 280°
∠A = 140°
=> from (1)
∠A = 140°, ∠A - (∠C + ∠D) = 10°
140° - (∠C + ∠D) = 10°
∠C + ∠D = 130° ...........(2)
If ∠C - ∠D = 60° & ∠C + ∠D = 130°
2∠C = 190°, ∠C = 95°
∠D = 130° - 95° - from (2)
∠D = 35°
So, the correct answer is option (a).

Aditya Rane answered
The context of computer programming, a loop is a sequence of instructions that is repeated until a certain condition is met. There are different types of loops in programming, including:

1. For loop: This loop is used to execute a block of code a specific number of times. It consists of an initialization, a condition, and an increment or decrement statement.

Example:
```
for (int i = 0; i < 10;="" i++)="" />
// code to be executed
}
```

2. While loop: This loop is used to execute a block of code as long as a specified condition is true. The condition is checked before each iteration.

Example:
```
int i = 0;
while (i < 10)="" />
// code to be executed
i++;
}
```

3. Do-while loop: This loop is similar to the while loop, but the condition is checked after each iteration. This means that the code block will always be executed at least once.

Example:
```
int i = 0;
do {
// code to be executed
i++;
} while (i < />
```

Loops are useful for automating repetitive tasks and iterating over data structures, such as arrays or lists. They allow programmers to write more efficient and concise code.

EduRev UPSC answered
In triangle △ABC, if EF is the line segment joining the midpoints of sides AB and AC, then EF is a midsegment of the triangle. According to the triangle midsegment theorem, a midsegment in a triangle is parallel to the third side and its length is half the length of that side.
Since BC = 7.2 cm, the length of EF, which is a midsegment, would be half of BC. Therefore:
EF = 1/2 * BC = 1/2 * 7.2 cm = 3.6 cm
So, the correct answer is A: 3.6cm.
