- Question
- A man on the top of a vertical towers observes a car moving at a uniform speed coming directly towards it. if it takes 12 minute for the angle of depression to change from 30° to 45°, how soon after this will the car reach the tower?
Options- A. 14 min 20 sec.
- B. 15 min 22 sec.
- C. 16 min.
- D. 16 min 23 sec.
- Correct Answer
- 16 min 23 sec.
ExplanationLet us draw a figure below from given question.
Let AB = h meter be the height of the tower B and C are two points such that ?ACB = 30° ?ADB = 45° and CD = x meter (say)
From right triangle ABD,
tan 45° = h/BD
? BD = h meter;
Again from right triangle ABC
tan 30° = h/(h + x )
? h + x = ?3 h
? x = (1.73 - 1)h = 0.73h
Now, 0.73h meter covered in 12 min
Hence, h meter covered in 12/0.73 = 1200/73 min = 16 min 23 sec . - 1. Six bell commence tolling together and toll at intervals of 5, 10, 15, 20, and 30 s, respectively. In 60 min, how many times do they toll together?

Correct Answer: 13
Explanation:
LCM of 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30 is 300. So, the bell will toll together after every 300s (5min).
So, the number of times they toll together = 60/5 + 1=13
Correct Answer: BC > CA, CA < CD
Explanation:
According to question,
?B = ?C = 55° , ?D = 25°
We can say ,
AB = AC ( ? ?B = ?C = 55° )
In Triangle ABC,
?A + ?B + ?C = 180°
? ?A + 55° + 55° = 180°
? ?A + 110° = 180°
? ?A = 180° - 110°
? ?A = 70° ..........................(1)
As per given figure,
?ACD + ?ACB = 180° ( ?ACB = ?C = 55°)
? ?ACD + 55° = 180°
? ?ACD = 180° - 55°
? ?ACD = 125° ....................... (2)
Now in Triangle ACD,
?CAD + ?ACD + ?CDA = 180°
? ?CAD + 125° + 25° = 180°
? ?CAD + 150° = 180°
? ?CAD = 30° ...........................(3)
( In a ?, greater angle has longer side opposite to it )
From the equation (1) , (2) and (3);
?B < ?A and ?CAD > ?D ;
? BC > CA and CA < CD
Correct Answer: 85°
Explanation:
?DCK = ?FDG = 55° (corr. ?s)
? ?ACE = ?DCK = 55° (vert. opp. ?s)
So, ?AEC = 180° ? (40° + 55°) = 85°
? ?HAB = ?AEC = 85° (corr. ?s)
Hence, x = 85°.
Correct Answer: 15°
Explanation:
Let, the angle be A
? Its complement angle = 90° ? A
According to the question
(90 ? A) = A + 60°
? 90 - 60 = A + A
? 2A = 30°
? A = 15°
Correct Answer: 48°
Explanation:
Let, the measure of the required angled be A°.
Then, measure of its complement = ( 90 ? A )° measure of its supplement = (180 ? A)°
According to question,
6(90° ? A) = 2(180° ? A) ?12°
? 540° ? 6A = 360° ? 2A ? 12°
? 4A = 192°
? A = 48°.
Correct Answer: 90°
Explanation:
Correct Answer: 59°40?
Explanation:
complement of 30°20? = 90° ? ( 30°20? ) = 90° ? ( 30° + 20? )
= (89° ? 30°) + (1° ? 20?)
= 59° + 60? ? 20? [ ? 1° = 60°?]
= 59° + 40? = 59°40?.
Correct Answer: 97°
Explanation:
Through O, draw a line l parallel to both AB and CD. Then
?1 = 45° (alt. ?S)
and ?2 = 30° (alt. ?S)
? ?BOC = ?1 + ?2 = 45° + 30° = 75°
So, X = 360° ? ?BOC = 360° ? 75° = 285°
Hence X = 285°.
Correct Answer: 1 : 3
Explanation:
Correct Answer: ? 800
Explanation:
By formula, P = (A2T1 - A1T2) / (T1 - T2)
Here, A1 = ? 944, T1 = 3
A2 = ? 1040, T2 = 5
? P = [(1040 x 3) - (944 x 5)] / (3 - 5)
= (3120 - 4720) / (-2)
= (-1600) / (-2)
= ? 800
? Principal = ? 800
