The diagonal of a rectangle is 12 cm and it makes an angle 35° With one side. Find the perimeter of the rectangle. [sin 35° = 0.57, cos 35° = 0.82]

Answer»

Let the breadth of the rectangle = x and length = y

sin 35° = \(\frac{x}{12}\)

x = 12 × sin 35 = 12 × 0.57 = 6.84 cm.

cos 35° = \(\frac{y}{12}\)

y = 12 × cos 35 = 12 × 0.82 = 9.84 cm.

Perimeter = 2(6.84 + 9.84) = 2 × 16.68 = 33.36 cm

The angle of a right triangle is 30° and its hypotenuse is 4 cm. What is its area?

Answer»

Triangle side ratio is 1 : : 2

Altitude = hypotenuse \(\times\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}=4\times\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\)

Area = \(\frac{1}{2}\times23.46=3.46\) cm2

20954.

Calculate the area of a right-angled triangle whose one angle is 45° and hypotenuse 20 cm.

Answer»

Angle of the right 45°, 45°, 90°

Ratio of sides = 1 : 1 : √2

hypotenuse = 20cm

∴ The other two sides are \(\frac{20}{\sqrt{2}}\) cm each

∴ Area of the right angled triangle = \(\frac{1}{2}\times\frac{20}{\sqrt{2}}\times\frac{20}{\sqrt{2}}\) = \(\frac{1}{2}\times\frac{20\times20}{2}=100\) cm2

One angle of a triangle is 30°, prove that radius of the circumcircle is equal to the side opposite to 30°

Answer»

For a right-angled triangle one of the angles is 30° then other one is 60°. 

Side which is opposite to the angle of 90° is twice of the side which is opposite to the angle of 30°

Center of circumcircle is the midpoint of the side, which is opposite to the angle 90° that means half.

∴ Radius of the circumcircle is equal to the side opposite to 30°.

If \(\rm (2^x-1)^2=4(2^x-2)\) , then the value of x is 1. \(\rm log_23\)2. \(\rm log_32\)3. \(\rm log_25\)4. \(\rm log_53\)

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : \(\rm log_23\)

Concept:

\(\rm \frac{log a}{log b}=log_ba\)

 

Calculation:

Here, \(\rm (2^x-1)^2=4(2^x-2)\)

\(⇒ \rm 2^{2x}-(2)2^x+1=(4)2^x-8\)

\(⇒ \rm 2^{2x}-(6)2^x+9=0\)

Now, let 2x = y

\(\rm y^2-6y+9=0\)

\(⇒ \rm y^2-3y-3y+9=0\)

\(⇒ \rm y(y-3)-3(y-3)=0\)

(y - 3) (y - 3) = 0

⇒ y = 3

⇒ 2x = 3

x log 2 = log(3)

⇒ x = \(\rm \frac{log 3}{log2}\)

\(\rm log_23\)

Hence, option (1) is correct.

If A = {x, y, z} and B = {1, 2}. Find the number of relations from A to B ?1. 24 2. 26 3. 25 4. None of these

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : 26 

Concepts:

If  A and B are two non-empty sets such that n(A) = p and n(B) = q then number of relations that can be defined from A to B = 2pq 

Calculation:

Given: A = {x, y, z} and B = {1, 2}

⇒ n(A) = 3 and n(B) = 2

As we know that, if A and B are two non-empty sets such that n(A) = p and n(B) = q then number of relations that can be defined from A to B = 2pq 

Here, p = 3 and q = 2

So, the number of relations from A to B = 26 

Hence, option 2 is the correct answer.

20964.

If A = {9, 10, 11, 12, 13} and f: A → N is a function where N is the set of natural numbers such that f(n) = the highest prime factor of n then find the range of f ?1. {2, 5, 11, 13}2. {3, 5, 13}3. {3, 5, 11, 13}4. None of these

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 3 : {3, 5, 11, 13}

Concept:

Domain:

Let f : A → B be a function, then the set A is called as the domain of the function f.

Co-domain:
Let f : A → B be a function, then the set B is called as the co-domain of the function f.

Range:
Let f : A → B, then the range of the function f consists of those elements in B which have at least one preimage in A. It is denoted as f (A) i.e f (A) = {b ∈ B | f (a) = b for some a A}

Note: Range is the subset of the codomain of f.

Calculation:

Given: A = {9, 10, 11, 12, 13} and f: A → N is a function where N is the set of natural numbers such that f(n) = the highest prime factor of n

We know that, the prime factorization of: 9 = 32, 10 = 2 × 5, 11 = 11 × 1, 12 = 22 × 3 and 13 = 13 × 1.

According to the definition of the function f we have,

⇒ f(9) = 3, f(10) = 5, f(11) = 11, f(12) = 3, f(13) = 13

As we know that, if f : A → B, then the range of the function f consists of those elements in B which have at least one preimage in A. It is denoted as f (A) i.e f (A) = {b ∈ B | f (a) = b for some a A}

⇒ Range of f = {3, 5, 11, 13}

Hence, option 3 is the correct answer.

20965.

Account for the NH3 has higher boiling point than PH3.

Answer»

In ammonia (NH3), the molecules are involved in the intermolecular hydrogen bonding on account of the polarity of N-H bonds. But the same is not possible in molecules of Phosphine (PH3), since the polarity of P-H bond is negligible as compared to N-H bond. This is due to lesser electronegativity of phosphorus as compared to nitrogen. Therefore, boiling point of ammonia is more than that of phosphine.

20973.

Give reason PH3 has lower boiling point than NH3.

Answer»

Due to Hydrogen bonding.

integral cos^4x dx

Answer»

To find ,  \(\int \cos^4x dx\)

Since we know that 

\(\cos^2x = {1 \over 2}(\cos2x+1)\)

so , \(\cos^4x = {1 \over 4}(\cos^22x+1+2\cos2x)\)

We can also expand \(\cos^22x \)

⇒ \(\cos^22x = {1 \over 2}(\cos4x + 1)\)

Which means \(\cos^4x = {1 \over 8}(\cos4x) + {1 \over 2}(\cos2x) + {3 \over 8}\)

Now we have to evaluate the integral of : 

\({1 \over 8}\int\cos4xdx + {1 \over 2}\int\cos2xdx + {3 \over 8}\int dx\)

Since , Integral of \(\cos x = \sin x\)

\({1 \over 8}\times{1 \over 4}\int\cos4x (d(4x)) + {1 \over 2}\times{1 \over 2}\int\cos2x(d(2x)) + {3 \over 8}\int dx\)

\({\sin4x \over 32} + {\sin2x \over 4} + {3x \over 8} + C\)

Hence , \(\int \cos^4x dx\) = \({\sin4x \over 32} + {\sin2x \over 4} + {3x \over 8} + C\)

Write down the step to compute total Income and tax liability of Individual?

Answer»

Following are the steps to Computation of total income and tax liability:

(i) Compute the income of an individual under 5 heads of income on the basis of his residential status. 

(ii) Income of any other person, if includible under section 60 to 64, will be included under respective heads. 

(iii) Set off of the losses if permissible, while aggregating the income under 5 heads of income. 

(iv) Carry forward and set off of the losses of the past years, if permissible, from such income. 

(v) The income computed as above will be Gross Total Income from which permissible deductions under section 80C to 80U are allowed. However, no deduction under these sections will be allowed from short term capital gain covered under section 111A, any long term capital gain and winning of lotteries etc., though these incomes are part of gross total income. 

(vi) The balance income after allowing the deductions is known as total income which will be rounded off to the nearest Rs. 10.

(vii) Computation of tax on such total income at the prescribed rates of tax and adding education cess and secondary and higher education cess thereon and allowing relief under section 89, if any. 

(viii) Deducting the TDS and advance tax paid for the relevant assessment year. The balance is the net tax payable is to be rounded off to the nearest Rs. 10. This tax has to be paid as self-assessment tax before submitting the income tax return.

What are the challenges that were faced during the implementation of GST?

Answer»

The challenges that were faced during the implementation of GST are as follows:

1. Establishment and upgradation of IT framework: The number of taxpayers is likely to go up significantly. Also, the process of tracking inter(orintra) State transactions will be online. The type of clearinghouse mechanism through GSTN considered in the dual model GST will handle large volumes of data.

For this purpose, the Goods and Service Tax Network (GSTN) has been set up by the Government to create enabling environment for smooth introduction and implementation of GST.

2. Meeting implementation challenges: The implementation of GST systems and procedures would not be very lengthy and complex process in a long run. A GST Implementation Advisory Committee has been constituted within CBEC for overall supervision and monitoring of progress towards implementation of GST.

3. Tax administration: The Central Board of Excise and Customs(CBEC)and the State Tax Administrations will responsible for implementing CGST and SGST respectively. For implementing dual GST, arobust and integrated tax administration is required to efficiently track supply of goods an dservicesa cross the country as also to precisely account for the taxes. Putting in risk management system will give meaningful results only when there will be an efficient tax administration.

4. Effective coordination between Centre & State tax Administrations: The assignment of concurrent jurisdiction to the Centre and the States for the levy of GST would require a unique institutional mechanism that would ensure that decisions about the structure, design and operation of GST are taken jointly by them. For it to be effective, such a mechanism also needs to have Constitutional force. There is a need of harmonization of processes & procedures between CGST / SGST & IGST Law.

5. Training of Officials and Trade &Industry: Until the people from trade and industry are adequately educated about the laws and procedures related to GST, there is possibility of non compliance and tax evasion. Training / familiarization of trade industry on a large scale will also be required.

\((\frac{dy}{dx})^2 + \cfrac{1}{\frac{dy}{dx}} = 2\)

Answer»

\((\frac{dy}{dx})^2 + \cfrac{1}{\frac{dy}{dx}} = 2\)

⇒ \((\frac{dy}{dx})^3\) + 1 = \(2\frac{dy}{dx}\) (Multiply both sides by \(\frac{dy}{dx}\))

⇒ \((\frac{dy}{dx})^3\) - \(2\frac{dy}{dx}\) +1 = 0

which is differential equation in which highest order derivative is \(\frac{dy}{dx}\) and power raised to 3.

\(\therefore\) order = 1 & degree = 3.
