D and E are the mid-points of AB and AC of ∆ABC, and BC is produced to any point P; DE, DP and EP are joined. then, area of:
(By mid-point theorem)
DE ∥ BC
DE = 1/2 BC
⇒ ar(∆BDE) = 1/4 × ar(∆ABC)
And ∆BDE = ∆PED
[ ∵ both triangles lie on the same base DE and between two parallel lines DE and BP.]
∴ ar(∆PED) = 1/4 × ar(∆ABC)

If tan (5x – 10°) = cot (5y + 20°), then the value of (x+y) is:
tan (5x – 10°) = cot (5y + 20°)
tan (5x – 10°) = tan (90° – {5y + 20°})
5x – 10° = 90° – (5y + 20°)
5x + 5y = 90° + 10° – 20°
5x + 5y = 80°
x + y = 16°
If a train, with a speed of 60 km/hr, crossed a pole in 30 seconds, the length of the train (in meters) is:
Speed = 60 km/hr

T = 30 sec.
Length = S x T = (50/3 x 30)m
L = 500m
The supplement of an angle is one-fourth of itself. Determine the angle and its supplement.
Let the measure of the angle be x°
Then, the measure of its supplementary angle is (180 - xo).
It is given that,
180o - x = 1/4 X x
⇒ (180o - x) = x
⇒ 720 - 4x = x
⇒ 5x = 720
⇒ x = 144
Thus, the measure of the angle is 144o and the measure of its supplement
= 180o - 144o = 36o
3 years ago, the average age of a family of 5 members was 17 years. A baby having been born, the average age of the family is the same today. The present age of the baby is
Total age of 5 members, three years ago
= 17 × 5 = 85 years
Three years hence,
Total age of 5 members = 85+3x5 = 85+15 = 100 years
Sum of present ages of 6 members = 17 × 6 = 102 years
Present age of baby= 102 – 100 = 2 years
A ladder leans against a vertical wall. The top of the ladder is 8 metres above the ground. When the bottom of the ladder is moved 2 metres farther away from the wall, the top of the ladder rests against the foot of the wall. What is the length of the ladder?
Let the length of the ladder be x meter. We have
82 + y2 = x2 and (y + 2) = x
Hence, 64 + (x - 2)2 = x2
⇒ 64 + x2 - 4x + 4 = x2
⇒ 68 = 4x ⇒ x = 17 meter

A man deposited a certain amount in a fixed deposit at r % p.α., interest being compounded annually. If the interest accrued for the fourth and fifth years are Rs 13310 and Rs 14641. what is the total interest accrued for the first three years?
The interests accrued each year on compound interest form a geometric progression with I, as the first-year interest and common ratio of (1 + r/100).
Therefore, interests for 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th years will be
respectively
Given, (1 + r/100)3 = 13310 ______________(1)
and (1 + r/100)4 = 14641 ______________(2)
(2) divided by (1), we get
1 + r/100) = 14641/13310 = 1.1
Therefore, Sum of the first three years interests
= 13310/(1.1)3 + 13310/(1.1)2.+ 13310/(1.1)1
= 13310/1.331 + 13310/1.21 + 13310/1.1
= 10000 + 11000 + 12100
= Rs. 33100

A is twice as fast as B, and B is one third as fast as C. If they together can complete work in 30 days. In how many days, A, B and C individually can do the same work?
Condition 1- A is twice as fast as
B means their ratio is 2: 1.
Condition 2- B is one third as fast
as C, means their ratio is 1: 3. Then we can say, the ratio of A, B and C is as follows
According to condition 1,
A : B = 2 : 1
According to condition 2;
B : C = 1 : 3
Thus, the ratio of A: B: C = 2: 1 : 3
This ratio denotes the working efficiency of A, B and C which means;
A, B and C can do = (2 + 1 + 3 = 6) work/day
Now we can calculate total work i.e.
Total work = Total days × Per day work
Total work = 30 × 6 = 180
A can do the same work in;
= (Total work / Efficiency of A) = 180 / 2 = 90 days
B can do the same work in;
= (Total work / Efficiency of B)
180 / 1 = 180 days
C can do the same work in;
= (Total work / Efficiency of C) = 180 / 3 = 60 days
Thus, A, B and C can individually complete the same work in 90, 180 and 60 days, respectively.
Minimum value of (a+ b) can be obtained when a= b
Then a + b = 5 + 5 (∴ ab= 25 and a=b)
=10
Given, a + b + c = 1
Let observe the value of a, b, c
a = 1 / 3, b = 1 / 3, c = 1 / 3
a + b + c
1 / 3 + 1 / 3 + 1 / 3 = 1
3 / 3 = 1
1 = 1
Put the values of a, b, c
(1 + a) (1 + b) (1 + c)

The price of a shirt is ₹260 but the shopkeeper successively discounts 15% & 20%. The net sales price is subject to a sales tax of 5%. What does the buyer pay?
1st discount
S.P. = Rs. 260 - 15% Rs.260
= 260 - 39 = 221
2nd discount
S.P. = Rs.221 - 20% Rs. 221
= 221 - 44.2 = 176.8
Sales tax = 5 / 100 x 1768 / 10
= 8840 / 1000
= Rs. 8.84
Amount paid by buyer
= Rs. 176.8 + Rs. 8.84
= Rs. 185.64
A cistern from inside is 12.5 m long, 8.5 m broad and 4 m high and is open at the top. Find the cost of cementing the inside of a cistern at Rs. 24 per sq. m

A is twice as good as a workman as B. Together, they finish the work in 14 days. In how many days can it be done by each separately?
As per the question, A does twice the work as done by B.
So A:B = 2:1
Also (A+B)'s one-day work = 1/14
To get days in which B will finish the work,
let's calculate work done by B in 1 day
=(1/14) x (1/3) = 1/42
So B will finish the work in 42 days and A will finish the work in 21 days.

Arrange the following mediums in descending order of speed of light in them.
Water, Flint Glass, Olive oil, Rock Salt
Speed of light in descending order would be Water > Olive Oil > Rock Salt > Flint Glass.
The speed of light in a medium = Speed of light in vacuum/ Refractive index
Refractive indices of different mediums at room temperature are as such,
Water- 1.33, Olive Oil- 1.44 -1.47, Rock Salt- 1.54, Flint Glass- 1.65
Mushrooms are considered as which of the following categories?
Mushrooms have no chlorophyll and obtain their nutrition from metabolizing non-living organic matter, hence are called saprophytes.
Which among the following is the lightest Halogen in the periodic table?
Its atomic number is 9.
For easier transportation purposes, it is converted to Hydrogen Fluoride, since fluoride is extremely reactive.
The largest cell in the human body is ____________.
They measure about 0.1 mm in diameter and are spherical in shape, comparable to the size of a grain of sand.
The biological name of female egg cells is 'ova'.
A body initially at rest moves with a constant acceleration of 30 m/s2. At about 20 seconds from the initial point, it would have travelled how much distance?
Since, the body was initially at rest, u= 0 m/s,
Hence, Putting the values in the equation, S = ut +1/2*at2
S = 0 + ½ (30 x 202)
Or, S = 6000 metre or 6 km
The Current flowing through a 100 W light bulb when it is connected to a 240 V power supply is _________.
So, 100= I x 240
Therefore, I= 0.42 A.
Who among the following is often referred to as 'Father of Taxonomy'?
He wrote the book 'Systema Naturae' in the 18th century.
His system for naming, ranking, and classifying organisms have influenced generations of biologists and still widely in use.
Which of the following when connected in parallel to a Galvanometer converts it to an Ammeter?
In an electrical circuit, shunt resistance is connected in parallel with a Galvanometer to make it act like an Ammeter.
It is mainly made of a material having a low-temperature coefficient of resistance.
Which of the following is the S.I unit of 'Momentum'?
When a body of a certain mass is moving with a certain velocity, then the body is said to possess momentum.
Which branch of Biology deals with the study of forms and features of the different part of animals, plants, and microorganisms and of the relationships of their constituent parts?
Two sub-divisions of Morphology are-
- Functional Morphology is studying co-operation between structures and functions, focusing on morphological features.
- Experimental morphology focuses mostly on the organism's behaviour under lab conditions.
If you touch Mimosa Pudica, a 'Touch me Not' plant, they tend to close, this type of movement is known as _____________.
Mimosa pudica, which is a sensitive plant, shows this type of movement.
The movement of K+ ions causes the change in the osmotic potential of cells of the pulvinus, present in the base of leaf stalk in the plant.
Which of the following is used as a rodenticide (rat poison)?
When a rat ingests it, it gets converted to phosphine gas in its body.
This phosphine gas is subsequently absorbed into the bloodstream through the stomach and the intestines and gets captured by the liver and the lungs resulting in toxic effects of metabolism processes.
In the study of Biology, __________ is regarded as the basic unit of life.
Any living organism is either made up of a single cell or many cells, which is the smallest unit.
A Cell consists of a quantity of protoplasm surrounded by a cell membrane, capable of synthesizing proteins and replicating itself.
