CHSL & FCI PREPARATION

Hii people...Please solve these questions and share thy approach. :)

@brixcelFor the 1st Its 13 n 15 ..For the 2nd Its 70??
Yes...AB= 15 and AC = 13
Both answers are right. Please share how you solved them. :)
@brixcel

Approach:

(I): Here, CE= CD= 6cm..DB= FB= 8cm..Let AE=AF=x cm[Tangent Rule]

Now, Area= r*s, or, [(14+x)(x)(8)(6)]^1/2 = 4*(14+x)

=>48x = 14*16 + 16x, or, x=7..

Thus, AC=AE + CE = 13cm..n, AB= AF + FB = 15cm..

(II): Here, TP n TQ are tangent..Hence Angle TPO= Angle OQT= 90..Considering O to be the center of the circle..

Hence, PTQ= 180-110 = 70..

cool 😃 Thank you! 😃 But one doubt here... in question 2, which property have you used? I mean, for which reason PTQ+POQ = 180?

Quadrilateral sum of opposite angles equals 180

:thumbsup: Thank you! I'm on the path to brush up my GEO concepts again. :|
@brixcel

Since, TPOQ is a qudrilateral..n sum of all the angles of a quadrilateral is 360..n, TPO n OQT r 90..That's why..It shld be 180-110..

i hate geometry

I don't hate it, it's something I haven't practiced for ages, and now it all is scaring me to the hell. :banghead: Trigo + Geo = Deadly combo. :|

THEn we should start with geometry,what say?

Trigo too, please. :|

Then Here we Go: :)


A city has a circular wall surrounding it.The walls has 4 gates located at the east, west, north n south points.A peepal tree stands at a distance of 2 km to the west of the west gate outside the city. It can be seen by a person, stnding 6 km directly to the north of the east gate, but he were any closer to the east gate, the wall obstructs the view of the tree.Find the radius of the wall surrounding the city..

A.2 B.3 C.4 D.5

ye to kuch ajeeb sa diagram bann raha hai. 😐

Try Karo..u'll dfntly slve it..

Seriously having no clue....That 6kms is like a tangent ...and that 2 kms...horizontally vo bhi circle ke bahar. Radius kaise pata chalegi :banghead: :(

my take is B 3
is it ?

Bata do kaise aaya :|

i tried it solving using pythagorus triplets try solving by using 6,8,10 triplet

@brixcel

Nw have a Luk..Angle AFO shld be 90..Hence, OA^2 = OF^2 + AF^2...

Thus, AF= [(2+r)^2 - r^2]^1/2...Nw, FC= 6 km..TANGENT RULE..

Thus, AC^2 = BC^2 + AB^2..Solve accrdngly..OA is 3 km.. :)

Ahan!! Got the essence! :thumbsup: Lot of practice needed at my side. :(
