Multiple choice maths triangles areas of similar figures areas of similar triangles relations between the areas of triangles

The area of two similar triangles are $200$ and $128$, then the ratio of their corresponding altitude is __________

  1. $25:16$
  2. $5:4$
  3. $4:5$
  4. $16:25$

B Correct answer
Explanation

Since we know that ratio of areas of two similar triangles is equal to the square of the ratio of their altitude
therefore
Ratio of their altitude=$\sqrt {\dfrac{{200}}{{128}}} $
$ = \sqrt {\dfrac{{100}}{{64}}} $
$ = \dfrac{{10}}{8}$
$ = \dfrac{5}{4}$
$ = 5:4$

C Correct answer
Explanation

The series is 3 - 1 + 1/3 - 1/9 + ... which can be split into 3 + (-1 + 1/3 - 1/9 + ...). The part in parentheses is a geometric series with first term a = -1 and common ratio r = -1/3. The sum is a / (1 - r) = -1 / (1 - (-1/3)) = -1 / (4/3) = -3/4. Adding the initial 3 gives 3 - 3/4 = 9/4.

D Correct answer
Explanation

Above in an infinite A.G.S. with $a = 1, d = 1$ for A.P., $b = \dfrac {1}{3}, r = \dfrac {1}{3}$ for G.P.
$\therefore S _{\infty} = \dfrac {ab}{1 - r} + \dfrac {dbr}{(1 - r)^{2}} = \dfrac {\dfrac {1}{3}}{1 - \dfrac {1}{3}} + \dfrac {1 . \dfrac {1}{3} . \dfrac {1}{3}}{\left (1 - \dfrac {1}{3}\right )^{2}} = \dfrac {1}{2} + \dfrac {1}{4} = \dfrac {3}{4}$
$\therefore P = 3^{S} = 3^{3/4} \therefore P^{1/3} = 3^{1/4}$.

The value of $9^\cfrac{1}{3}.9^\cfrac{1}{9}.9^\cfrac{1}{27}...........$ upto $\infty$, is

  1. $1$
  2. $3$
  3. $9$
  4. $None\ of\ these$

B Correct answer
Explanation
${9^{\cfrac{1}{3}}}{.9^{\cfrac{1}{9}}}{.9^{\cfrac{1}{{27}}}} -  -  -  - upto\,\,\infty $
$ = {9^{\left( {\cfrac{1}{3} + \cfrac{1}{9} + \cfrac{1}{{27}} +  -  -  - } \right)}}$
$ = {9^{\left( {\cfrac{{\cfrac{1}{3}}}{{1 - \cfrac{1}{3}}}} \right)}}$
$ = {9^{\left( {\cfrac{{\cfrac{1}{3}}}{{\cfrac{2}{3}}}} \right)}}$
$ = {9^{\cfrac{1}{2}}}$
$ = 3$

A Correct answer
Explanation

${ x }=\dfrac { 1 }{ 1-a } $ ${ y }=\dfrac { 1 }{ 1-b } $ [summing infinite $G.P's$].
$\therefore a=\dfrac { x-1 }{ x } $, $b=\dfrac { y-1 }{ y } $
$\therefore 1+ab+{ a }^{ 2 }{ b }^{ 2 }+...\infty $
$=\dfrac { 1 }{ 1-ab } =\dfrac { 1 }{ 1-\dfrac { (x-1)(y-1) }{ xy }  } =\dfrac { xy }{ x+y-1 }. $
