- Question
- A polygon has 44 diagonals the number of its sides is?
Options- A. 9
- B. 10
- C. 11
- D. 12
- Correct Answer
- 11
ExplanationLet there be n sides of the polygon. Then it has n vertices.
The total number of straight lines obtained by joining n vertices by talking 2 at a time is nC2
These nC2 lines also include n sides of polygon.
Therefore, the number of diagonals formed is nC2 - n.
Thus, nC2 - n = 44
? [n(n - 1)/2] - n = 44
? ( n2 - 3n) / 2 = 44
? n2 - 3n = 88
? n2 - 3n - 88 = 0
?(n - 11) (n + 8) = 0
? n = 11

Correct Answer: 4 : 3
Explanation:
| 5% of A + 4% of B = | 2 | (6% of A + 8% of B) |
| 3 |
| ⟹ | 5 | A + | 4 | B | = | 2 | ❨ | 6 | A + | 8 | B | ❩ |
| 100 | 100 | 3 | 100 | 100 |
| ⟹ | 1 | A + | 1 | B | = | 1 | A + | 4 | B |
| 20 | 25 | 25 | 75 |
| ⟹ | ❨ | 1 | - | 1 | ❩ A = | ❨ | 4 | - | 1 | ❩ B |
| 20 | 25 | 75 | 25 |
| ⟹ | 1 | A = | 1 | B |
| 100 | 75 |
| A | = | 100 | = | 4 | . |
| B | 75 | 3 |
∴ Required ratio = 4 : 3
Correct Answer: 89 sec
Explanation:
| Speed = | ❨ | 240 | ❩m/sec = 10 m/sec. |
| 24 |
| ∴ Required time = | ❨ | 240 + 650 | ❩sec = 89 sec. |

Correct Answer: Wednesday
Explanation:
17 th June, 1998 = (1997 years + Period from 1.1.1998 to 17.6.1998)
Odd days in 1600 years = 0
Odd days in 300 years = (5 x 3) ≡ 1
97 years has 24 leap years + 73 ordinary years.
Number of odd days in 97 years ( 24 x 2 + 73) = 121 = 2 odd days.
Jan. Feb. March April May June (31 + 28 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 17) = 168 days
∴ 168 days = 24 weeks = 0 odd day.
Total number of odd days = (0 + 1 + 2 + 0) = 3.
Given day is Wednesday.
Correct Answer: 308
Explanation:
| Other number = | ❨ | 11 x 7700 | ❩ | = 308. |
| 275 |
Correct Answer: 64
Explanation:
Let 1872/?N = 234.
Then ?N = 1872/234 = 8
? N = 8 x 8 = 64
Correct Answer: 16 :15
Explanation:
Let distance covered by dog in 1 leap is x and
Distance covered by cat in 1 leap is y
Then, 3x = 4y
? x= 4/3y
Now, Ratio of speed of dog and cat = Ratio of distance covered by them in the same time = 4x : 5y
= 16/3y : 5y
= 16 : 15
Correct Answer: 34%
Explanation:
Total volume of cuboid = (10 x 5 x 2) cm3
= 100 cm3
Volume curved = 1/3 x (22/7) x 3 x 3 x 7 cm3
= 66 cm3
% of wood wasted = (100 - 66)% = 34 %
Correct Answer: 90
Explanation:
Series pattern
12, 32, 52, 72, 92, 112
So missing term = 112 = 121
Correct Answer: 7:30
Explanation:
Angle of 360° is covered by hour hand in 12 h .
So, angle of 135° is covered by hour hand in 12/360° x 135° = 4.5 h
Thus, required time = (3 + 4.5)h = 7.5 h = 7 : 30
Correct Answer: Wednesday
Explanation:
Try yourself. It was Wednesday.
