  1. $hx^2 + (a - b)x - h = 0$

  2. $x^2 +h(a - b)x - 1 = 0$

  3. $(a - b)x^2 + hx - (a - b) = 0$

  4. $(a - b)x^2 - hx - (a - b) = 0$

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Equation of bisectors of the pair of straight lines $ax^2+2hxy+by^2=0$ is

$h(x^2-y^2)-(a-b)xy=0$......(1).

Since $y=mx $ is given to be the bisector of the pair of straight lines, then the line will satisfy the equation (1).

Then we get,
$h(1-m^2)-(a-b)m=0$

$hm^2+(a-b)m-h=0$.

So $m$ satisfies the equation $hx^2+(a-b)x-h=0$.

If $A+B=\dfrac{\pi}{3}$ and $\cos{A}+\cos{B}=1$, then which of the following is true

maths understanding 3d and 2d shapes defining regular polygons sum of exterior angles of a polygon regular polygons

  1. $\cos{\left(A-B\right)}=\dfrac{1}{3}$

  2. $\left|\cos{A}-\cos{B}\right|=\sqrt{\dfrac{2}{3}}$

  3. $\cos{\left(A-B\right)}=-\dfrac{1}{3}$

  4. $\left|\cos{A}-\cos{B}\right|=\dfrac{1}{2\sqrt{3}}$

Show answer
Correct Option: B,C
Explanation:

$\cos{A}+\cos{B}=1$


$\Rightarrow 2\cos{\left(\dfrac{A+B}{2}\right)}\cos{\left(\dfrac{A-B}{2}\right)}=1$

Since $A+B=\dfrac{\pi}{3}\Rightarrow \dfrac{A+B}{2}=\dfrac{\pi}{6}$
Hence $\cos{\left(\dfrac{A+B}{3}\right)}=\cos{\left(\dfrac{\pi}{6}\right)}=\dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$

$\Rightarrow 2\cos{\left(\dfrac{A-B}{2}\right)}=\dfrac{1}{\dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2}}$

$\Rightarrow \cos{\left(\dfrac{A-B}{2}\right)}=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$

Squaring both sides, we get

${\cos}^{2}{\left(\dfrac{A-B}{2}\right)}=\dfrac{1}{3}$

$\Rightarrow 2{\cos}^{2}{\left(\dfrac{A-B}{2}\right)}=\dfrac{2}{3}$

$\Rightarrow 2{\cos}^{2}{\left(\dfrac{A-B}{2}\right)}-1=\dfrac{2}{3}-1=\cos {(A-B)}=\dfrac{-1}{3}$

$\left|\cos{A}-\cos{B}\right|=2\sin{\left(\dfrac{A+B}{2}\right)}\sin{\left(\dfrac{B-A}{2}\right)}$

                    $=2\times\dfrac{1}{2}\sqrt{1-\dfrac{1}{3}}$

                    $=\sqrt{\dfrac{2}{3}}$ (on simplification)

If $R$ is the radius of circumscribing circle of a regular polygon of $n$ sides, then $R =?$

  1. $\dfrac{a}{2} sin (\dfrac{\pi}{n})$

  2. $\dfrac{a}{2} cos (\dfrac{\pi}{n})$

  3. $\dfrac{a}{2} cosec (\dfrac{\pi}{n})$

  4. $\dfrac{a}{2} cosec (\dfrac{\pi}{2n})$

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:
since, it is a regular polygon so its interior angle will be equal  

Hence, $nA=\pi\Rightarrow A=\dfrac{\pi}{n}$

and we know that 
$\dfrac{a}{sinA}=2R\Rightarrow R=\dfrac{a}{2}cosec(\dfrac{\pi}{n})$

therefore,Answer is $C$

  1. $\dfrac{3}{4}$

  2. $3\sqrt{3}$

  3. $3$

  4. $\dfrac{3\sqrt{3}}{2}$

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Given ${A} _{0}{A} _{1}{A} _{2}{A} _{3}{A} _{4}{A} _{5}$ is  a regular hexagon inscribed in a circle of unit radius
$\Rightarrow {A} _{0}{A} _{1}=1$
$\Rightarrow {A} _{0}{A} _{2}=2\sin{{60}^{0}}=2\times\dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2}=\sqrt{3}$
$\Rightarrow {A} _{0}{A} _{4}=2\sin{{60}^{0}}=2\times\dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2}=\sqrt{3}$
$\therefore {A} _{0}{A} _{1}.{A} _{0}{A} _{2}.{A} _{0}{A} _{4}=1\times \sqrt{3}\times\sqrt{3}=3$

  2. $\displaystyle nr^{2}\tan \left( \frac{\pi }{n} \right )$

  3. $\displaystyle \frac{na^{2}}{4}\cot \frac{\pi }{n} $

  4. $\displaystyle nR^{2}\tan(\frac {\pi}{n})$

Show answer
Correct Option: A,B,C
Explanation:

Area of the regular polygon will be 
$=\dfrac{nR^{2}}{2}sin(\dfrac{2\pi}{n})$.
Now 
$R=\dfrac{s}{2sin(\dfrac{\pi}{n})}$
Hence
$A=\dfrac{ns^{2}}{8sin^{2}\dfrac{\pi}{n}}.2sin(\dfrac{\pi}{n}).cos(\dfrac{\pi}{n})$

$=\dfrac{ns^{2}}{4}.cot(\dfrac{\pi}{n})$. where s is the side of the polygon.

$=nr^{2}.tan(\dfrac{\pi}{n})$ where r is the incentre.
