The length of a rectangle is less than twice its breadth by 1 cm. The length of its diagonal is 17 cm. Find its length and breadth A. 15 cm, 8 cm B. 13 cm, 4 cm C. 10 cm, 6 cm D. 8 cm, 9 cm

Solution L = 2B – 1, Diagonal = 17. D² = L²+ B²⇒ 289 = (2B –1)²+ B²⇒ B = 8 & L = 15.Also 8, 15, 17 is a Pythagorean triplet.So answer can be reached directly.

In an AP, the ratio of the 2nd term to the 7th term is 1/3. If the 5th term is 11, what is the 15th term? A.28 B.31C.33 D.36

Solution The 2nd and the 7th terms are (a + d) and (a + 6d) respectively. The ratio of these terms is 1/3. Solving this ratio, we get 2a = 3d. The 5th term is (a + 4d) = 11. Substituting for a, we get a = 3 and d = 2. Therefore, the 15th

If a = 5 + 2√6 and b = 1/a, what will be the value of a² + b²?(a) 36(b) 98(c) 50(d) 80

Solution Given,a = 5 + 2√6b = 1/a= 1/(5 + 2√6)Rationalizing the denominator, we get;b = [1/(5 + 2√6)] [(5 – 2√6)/(5 – 2√6)]= (5 – 2√6)/ [(5)2 – (2√6)2]= (5 – 2√6)/ (25 – 24)= 5 – 2√6Now,a² + b²= (a + b)² – 2ab= (5 + 2√6 + 5 – 2√6)2 – 2(5

The length of a room floor exceeds its breadth by 20 m. The area of the floor remains unaltered when the length is decreased by 10 m but the breadth is increased by 5 m. The area of the floor (in square metres) is :(1) 280 (2) 325(3) 300 (4) 420

Solution Let the breadth of floor be x metre. :. Length = (x + 20) metre :. Area of the floor =(x+ 20) x sq. metre According to question. (x + 10) (x + 5) = x (x + 20) ⇒x² + 15x + 50 = x² + 20x ⇒ 20x = 15x + 50
