b) 25
c) 15
d) 20
Explanation:
3. In the figure, ACB is a right angled triangle. CD is the altitude. Circles are inscribed within the triangles ACD, BAD. P and Q are
the centres of the circles. The distance PQ is
a) 5
b) \[\sqrt{50}\]
c) 7
d) 8
Explanation:
4. Instead of walking along two adjacent sides of a rectangular field, a boy took a short cut along the diagonal and saved a distance
equal to half the longer side. Then the ratio of the shorter side to the longer side is
a) 1/2
b) 2/3
c) 1/4
d) 3/4
Explanation:
5. Each side of a given polygon is parallel to either the X or the Y axis. A corner of such a polygon is said to be convex if the internal
angle is 90° or concave if the internal angle is 270°. If the number of convex corners in such a polygon is 25, the number of
concave corners must be
a) 20
b) 0
c) 21
d) 22
Explanation: The number of convex corners is always less than concave corners by 4. Hence 25 – 4 = 21
6. In a triangle ABC, AB =6, BC = 8 and AC = 10. A perpendicular dropped from B, meets the side AC at D. A circle of radius BD (with

d) \[3h^{2}=2b^{2}\]
Explanation:
10. In the figure given below, AB is the chord of a circle with centre O. AB is extended to C such that BC=OB. The straight line CO

a) 3
b) 2
c) 1
d) None of these
