maths construction of parallel lines and triangles triangle inequality inequalities in triangle inequalities in triangles

  1. an equilateral triangle

  2. an isosceles triangle

  3. a right angled triangle

  4. none of these

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

According to the problem :

$AB^2=(0-1)^2+(\dfrac{8}{3}-3)^2$
$=1+\dfrac{1}{9}=\dfrac{10}{9}=1.11$

Similarly,
$BC^2=(82-1)^2+(30-3)^2=7290$
and
$AC^2=(82-0)^2+(30-\dfrac{8}{3})^2=7471.11$

Therefore,
$AB^2+BC^2<AC^2$

Hence the answer is acute-angled triangle.

In $\Box PQRS$,  $PQ+QR+RS+SP> PR+QS$.

maths congruency of triangles triangle inequality inequalities in triangle inequalities in triangles

  1. The sum of the lengths of the $2$ sides of a triangle is equal than the third side of the triangle

  2. The sum of the lengths of the $2$ sides of a triangle is less than the third side of the triangle

  3. The sum of the lengths of the $2$ sides of a triangle is more than the third side of the triangle

  4. None of these

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The triangle inequality theorem states that the sum of the lengths of the $2$ sides of a triangle is greater than the third side of the triangle.

State the following statement is True or False
It is possible to have a triangle of sides $3,4,8$

maths congruency of triangles triangle inequality inequalities in triangle inequalities in triangles

  1. True

  2. False

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

It is not possible to have a triangle of sides $3,4,8$

Since, sum of the $2$ sides ($3$ and $4$) is not greater than the third side that is $8$.
$3+4<8$
According to triangle inequality theorem, it is not possible to construct such triangle.

State whether the following statement is True or False.
It is possible to have a triangle of sides $8,10,14$.

maths congruency of triangles triangle inequality inequalities in triangle inequalities in triangles

  1. True

  2. False

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

It is possible to have a triangle of sides $8,10,14$

Since, sum of any $2$ sides of the triangle is greater than the $3^{rd}$ side.
$8+14>10\ 10+14>8\ 10+8>14$

A triangle cannot be drawn with the following three sides:

  1. $2m, 3m, 4m$

  2. $3m, 4m, 8m$

  3. $4m, 6m, 9m$

  4. $5m, 7m, 10m$

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

A triangle with three sides a,b and c will be possible when:

$a+b>c$
$ b+c>a$
$ a+c>b$
$ Here,a=2,b=3,c=4$
$ 2+3>4$
$ 3+4>2$
$ 2+4>3$
$ \therefore A)is\quad possible.$
$ Here,a=3,b=4,c=8$
$ 3+4=7$
$7<8$
$ \therefore a+b>c\quad is\quad not\quad satisfied.$
$ C)&amp; D)\quad will\quad also\quad be\quad possible.$
$ \therefore B)Correct\quad answer.$

The complex number z having least positive argument which satisfies the condition $|z - 25i| \le 15$   is:

maths congruency of triangles triangle inequality inequalities in triangle inequalities in triangles

  1. $25i$

  2. $12+5i$

  3. $16+12i$

  4. $12+16i$

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:
Solution:

$|z-25 i| \leq 15$

Let $z= r(cos \theta + i \, sin \theta)$

$\theta$ must be minimum

$| r \, cos \theta +i ( r\, sin \theta-25)|\leq 15$

$|\sqrt{r^2cos^2\theta+r^2 sin^2 \theta+ 625- 50 r \, sin \theta} \,|\leq 15$

square both side

$r^2 (cos^2 \theta+ sin^2 \theta)+625 - 50 r \, sin \theta \leq 225$

$r^250 r \, sin \theta \leq - 400$

$f(r)=\dfrac {400+r^2}{50 \, r}\leq sin \theta $

Find maximum value of $f(r)=\dfrac {400+r^2}{50\, r}$

$f'(r)=\dfrac {100 r^2- 50(400+r^2)}{2500 r^2}=0$

$50 r^2- 50 \times 400=0$

$r= 20$

$f(r=20)=\dfrac {800}{1000}\leq sin \theta $

$\dfrac {4}{5}\leq  sin \theta $

Least value of $sin \theta $ is $4/5$

$ tan \, \theta = 4/3 \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, cos \theta  = 3/5$

$z= 20(3/5+4/5 \,i)$

$z= 12+16\, i$

D is correct.

If $|z^2-3|=3|z|$, then the maximum value of |z| is

  1. $1$

  2. $\displaystyle \frac {3+\sqrt {21}}{2}$

  3. $\displaystyle \frac {\sqrt {21}-3}{2}$

  4. $None\ of\ these$

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

By the law of inequality, 
$|{ z }^{ 2 }-3|\ge { |z| }^{ 2 }-3$
$ \Longrightarrow 3|z|\ge { |z| }^{ 2 }-3\ \Longrightarrow { |z| }^{ 2 }-3|z|-3\le 0\ \Longrightarrow 0\le |z|\le \displaystyle\frac { 3+\sqrt { 21 }  }{ 2 } $
Hence the maximum value of $|z|=\displaystyle\frac { 3+\sqrt { 21 }  }{ 2 } $
