Multiple choice maths construction of triangles constructions of triangles construction of triangles - ii constructions

The construction of $\Delta LMN$ when $MN=6$ $cm$ and $m\angle M=45^\circ$ is not possible when difference between $LM$ and $LN$ is equal to:

  1. $6.9$ $cm$
  2. $5.2$ $cm$
  3. $5$ $cm$
  4. $4$ $cm$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

In a triangle sum of length of $2$ sides is $>$ third side.

or 

Difference of length of two sides is less than third side.

$LM,MN,NL$ are the length of sides.

$|LM-NL|<MN$

$|LM-NL|<6$

So construction of triangle is not possible as $|LM-NL|=6.9cm$

Construct a $\Delta ABC$, whose perimeter is $10.5  cm$ and base angles are $60^o$ and $45^o$. Find the third angle.

  1. $75^o$
  2. $45^o$
  3. $90^o$
  4. $60^o$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation
  1. Draw a line segment PQ such that AB + BC + AC = PQ.
    2. Construct $\angle XPQ =\angle B = { 60 }^{ 0 }\ and\ \angle YQP =\angle C =45^{ 0 }$
    3. Bisect $\angle XPQ and \angle YQP$ and their bisectors will meet at A.
    4. Draw the perpendicular bisector DE of AP which meets PQ  at B. 
    5. Draw the perpendicular bisector FG of AQ which meets PQ  at C.
    6. Join AB & AC.
    7. ABC is the required triangle.
    Sum of interior angle of triangle= $180^o$
    so third angle = $180^o-45^o-60^o\ = 75^o $
Multiple choice conversion of time time conversion time measurement of time maths

Express $5\dfrac {2}{3} hrs$ in minutes.

  1. $235\ mins$
  2. $320\ mins$
  3. $340\ mins$
  4. $523\ mins$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

$5\dfrac {2}{3} hrs = \dfrac {17}{3}hrs$
$1\ hr = 60\ mins$
$\therefore \dfrac {17}{3} hrs = \dfrac {17}{3} \times 60\ mins = 340\ mins$.

What decimal of an hour is a second?

  1. $.0002\overline 9$
  2. $.00022\overline 8$
  3. $.0002\overline 7$
  4. $.0002\overline 6$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Given that one hour,

Now,

$1$ hour=$60\times 60$ second

$ 1s=\dfrac{1}{60\times 60}h $

$ =0.0002777777... $

$ =0.0002\overline{7} $

Hence, this is the answer.

$21$ months are equal to how many years?

  1. $1$
  2. $1\dfrac{1}{2}$
  3. $1\dfrac{3}{4}$
  4. $2$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

$1$ year $=12$ months 

$1$ month $=\dfrac{1}{12}$ years
$21$ months $=\dfrac{1}{12}\times21=\dfrac{7}{4}=1\dfrac{3}{4}$
So option $C$ is correct.

State 'T' for true and 'F' for false.
(I) $12$ hours $:30$ hours $=8$km $:20$km
(II) The ratio of $1$ hour to one day is $1:1$
(III) The two terms of a ratio can be in two different units.

  1. (I)-T, (II)-T, (III)-T

  2. (I)-F, (II)-F, (III)-F

  3. (I)-T, (II)-F, (III)-F

  4. (I)-F, (II)-T, (III)-F
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

$i)$ $12$ hours $:$ $30$ hours$=8Km:20Km$

$\cfrac{12}{30}=\cfrac{2}{5}$ hours.
$\cfrac{8}{20}=\cfrac{2}{5}$ Km.
Hence, $True.$
$ii)$ The ratio of $1$ hour to $1$ day,
$\cfrac{1\quad hour}{1\quad day}=\cfrac{1}{24}\quad hours\neq 1$
Hence, $false.$
$iii)$ The two terms of a ratio can not be in two different units.
Hence, $false$.
$(I)-T, (II)-F,(III)-F$

Multiple choice conversion of time time conversion time measurement of time maths

A clock gains 5 minutes every hour.Then the angle traversed by the seconds hand in one minute will be 

  1. $390^0$
  2. $380^0$
  3. $360.5^0$
  4. $360^0$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Gain in 60 min=5min
in 1 min =$\dfrac{5}{60}min=\dfrac{5}{60}\times 60 sec=5 sec$
Angle traversed by second hand=$360^0+\dfrac{5}{60}\times 360^0=390^0$
