Observe the right triangle ABC, right angled at B, where AP = x units , PC = (x + 5 ) units and AB = 5 units as shown below . Find the length of PC : |
|
Answer» In ∆APB, ∠APB = 180 - 90 = 90° (Linear pair) So AP2 + BP2 = AB2 ⇒ x2 + BP2 = 25 ∴ BP = √(25 - x2) In ∆APB and ∆ABC ∠A = ∠A (Common) ∠ APB = ∠ABC (90° each) ∴ ∆APB ∼ ∆ABC (AA similarity) - (1) Similarly, ∆BPC ∼ ∆ABC (AA similarity) - (2) From (1) and (2) ∆APB ∼ ∆BPC ⇒ AP/BP = BP/PC ⇒ BP2 = AP × PC ⇒ 25 - x2 = x(5 + x) ⇒ (5 + x)(5 - x) = x(5 + x) ⇒ 5 - x = x ∴ 2x = 5 x = 2.5. PC = x + 5 = 7.5 units |

P Let the Profit earned by the third seller be x%. According to the question, ⇒ (100 + x)% of 125% of 120% of P = 165% of P ⇒ (100 + x)/100 × 125/100 × 120/100 × P = 165/100 × P ⇒ 100 + x = [(165 × 100 × 100 × 100)/(125 × 120 × 100)] ⇒ 100 + x = 110 ⇒ x = 110 – 100 ⇒ x = 10% The profit of the third seller is 10%. |

P bought an old TV and spent Rs. 1100 on its repairs. He then sold it to Q at 20% profit, Q sold it to R at a loss of 10% and R sold it for Rs. 11880 at a profit of 10%. What is the amount for which P bought the TV?1. Rs. 90002. Rs. 89003. Rs. 86004. Rs. 85005. Rs. 9400 |
|
Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : Rs. 8900 Given: Spent on repairs = Rs. 1100 P’s profit = 20% Q’s loss = 10% R’s profit = 10% R’s S.P = Rs. 11880 Calculations: Let P’s C.P after repairing be x. ∴ According to the question, ⇒ 110% of 90% of 120% of x = 11880 ⇒ 110/100 × 90/100 × 120/100 × x = 11880 ⇒ x = (11880 × 10 × 10 × 10)/(11 × 9 × 12) ⇒ x = 10000 ∴ P purchased it for Rs. (10000 – 1100) = Rs. 8900 P bought the old TV for Rs. 8900. |

Mohit bought a stereo for Rs. 5,863 & spent Rs. 1,370 on its repairs then sold it for Rs. 5,700 what is his loss percent?1. 6%2. 4%3. 21.19%4. 3% |
|
Answer» Correct Answer - Option 3 : 21.19% Given: Mohit bought a stereo is Rs. 5,863 Formula Used: Loss% =(Loss/CP) × 100 Calculation: Loss = (5,863 + 1,370) - 5,700 = 1,533 Loss% = 1,533/(5,863 + 1,370) × 100 = 21.19% ∴ The required answer is 21.19% |

Do organisms create exact copies of themselves? Explain. |
|
Answer» When a reproducing cell commences division, it primarily starts to make a replica of its DNA. This replica will be separated from the original DNA. Since a DNA can’t build up an organism all by itself, cell divides into two. We get a cell with new DNA. According to the DNA codes, the proteins are made in the new cell. Accordingly, the cell evolves as a new individual which looks similar to the original cell. There two cells are similar in their body designs and physiology, but they are not identical. So, there is always a chance of variation.

Sickle cell anemia in humans is a result of point mutation. Explain. |
|
Answer» Point mutation occurs due to change in a single base pair of DNA. It occurs due to defect caused by the single base substitution at the sixth condon of the beta chain of haemoglobin from GAG to GUG. This causes substitution of glutamic acid by valine. The defective haemoglobin molecule undergoes polymerization under low oxygen tension causing sickle- shaped red blood cells. |

State Lyon’s hypothesis. |
|
Answer» Lyon’s hypothesis states that in mammals the necessary dosage compensation is accomplished by the inactivation of one of the X chromosome in females so that both males and females have only one functional X chromosome per cell. Mary Lyon suggested that Barr bodies represented an inactive chromosome, which in females becomes tightly coiled into a heterochromatin, a condensed and visible form of chromatin Lyon’s hypothesis). The number of Barr bodies observed in cell was one less than the number of X-Chromosome. XO females have no Barr body, whereas XXY males have one Ban- body. |
