2. There is a circle of radius 1 cm. Each member of a sequence of regular polygons \[S_{1}\left(n\right),n=4,5,6....\]    where n is the number of sides of the polygon, is circumscribing the circle; and each member of the sequece of regular polygons \[S_{2}\left(n\right),n=4,5,6....\]    where n is the number of sides of the polygon, is inscribed in the circle. Let \[L_{1}\left(n\right)\] and \[L_{2}\left(n\right)\] denote the perimeters of the corresponding polygons of \[S_{1}\left(n\right)\] and \[S_{2}\left(n\right)\]  . Then \[\frac{\left\{L_{1}\left(13\right)+2\pi\right\}}{L_{2}\left(17\right)}\]    is
a) Greater than \[\pi/4\] and less than 1
b) Greater than 1 and less than 2
c) Greater than 2
d) Less than \[\pi/4\]

Answer: c
Explanation:
q12

3. The figure below shows two concentric circles with centre O. PQRS is a square inscribed in the outer circle. It also circumscribes the inner circle, touching it at point B, C, D and A. What is the ratio of the perimeter of the outer circle to that of polygon ABCD?
a13
a) \[\frac{\pi}{3}\]
b) \[\pi\]
c) \[\frac{\pi}{2}\]
d) \[\frac{\pi}{4}\]

Answer: c
Explanation:
q13

4. In the figure below, AB = BC = CD = DE = EF = FG = GA. Then, \[\angle DAE\]  is approximately
a14
a) 15°
b) 30°
c) 20°
d) 25°

Explanation:
q14a
q14b
q14c

5. ABCD is a rhombus with diagonals AC and BD intersecting at the origin on the xy plane. If the equation of the line AD is x + y = 1 then the equation of line BC is
a) x + y =1
b) x + y =-1
c) x - y =1
d) None of these

Answer: b
Explanation:
q15

6. There is a regular octagon A B C D E F G H, a frog is at the vertex A. It can jump on to any of the vertices except the exactly opposite vertex. The frog visits all the vertices exactly once and then reaches vertex E then how many times did it jump before reaching E?
a) 7
b) 2n + 1
c) 6
d) can’t be determined

Answer: c
Explanation:
q16

7. If the perimeter of a triangle is 14 and the sides are integers, then how many different triangles are possible?
a) 6
b) 5
c) 4
d) 3

Answer: c
Explanation: a + b + c = 14 and c < a + b
Thus 2(a + b) > 14, a + b > 7
So, the possible measures of sides are (2, 6, 6), (3, 5, 6), (6, 4, 4) & (5, 5, 4).
Thus, there are four pairs possible.

8. a, b and c are sides of a triangle . If \[a^{2}+b^{2}+c^{2}=ab+bc+ac\]       then the triangle will be
a) equilateral
b) isosceles
c) right angled
d) obtuse angle

Answer: a
Explanation:
q18

9. In triangle DEF shown below, points A, B, and C are taken on DE, DF and EF respectively such that EC = AC and CF = BC. If angle D = 40 degrees then what is angle ACB in degrees?
a19
a) 140
b) 70
c) 100
d) None of these

Answer: c
Explanation:
q19

10. Based on the figure below, what is the value of x, if y = 10
a20
a) 10
b) 11
c) 12
d) None of these

Answer: b
