Test: Geometry (March 26) - CAT MCQ

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.

 Option 4 : 9 : 25

Given

Ratio of volume of two spheres = 27 : 125

Formula used

surface area of sphere =4πr²

Volume of sphere = (4/3)πr³

Where r is radius respectively

Calculation

[(4/3)πR3/(4/3)πr3] = 27/125

Where R and r are radius of two sphere

⇒ R³/r³= 27/125

⇒ R = 3r/5

Surface area of 1st sphere/Surface area of 2nd sphere =[4π(3r/5)2]/4πr2

⇒ 9 : 25

∴ Ratio of surface area of two spheres is 9 : 25.

In ∆ PXQ and ∆ RXS

=> angle P = angle R

    angle Q  =  angle S 

:- ∆ PXQ  ~ ∆ RXS  ( AA similarity rule)  

ar ( ∆ PXQ) /  ar ( ∆ RXS) = ( PQ / RS) ^ 2 

 =  ( 3 / 1 ) ^ 2

=     9 / 1 

Therefore,  ar ( ∆ PXQ) :  ar          ( ∆ RXS) 

=   9:1
