In the figure, PQ\\SR, ST\\, ST\\RQ, PS = 7cm, PT = 7cm, SR = 4cm. Find the ratio of the area QRST to the area of PQRS.

A. 56.77

B. 56.105

C. 28:105

D. 28:49

E. 56:49

Detailed Solution

Area of QRST = 4 x 7 = 28

Area of PQRS = \(\frac{1}{2}\)(4 + 11) x 7

= \(\frac{7}{2}\) x \(\frac{15}{1}\)

= 28:52.5

= 56:105
42.

A. 1:2

B. 1:3

C. 1:4

D. 1:5

E. 1:6

Detailed Solution

From Internal bisection theorem, \(\frac{QP}{PR}\) = \(\frac{QS}{SR}\)

= \(\frac{4}{1}\)

= 1:4

46.

The angles marked in the figure are measured in degrees. Find x.

A. 45o

B. 90o

C. 60o

D. 15o

E. 30o

Detailed Solution

Sum of external angles = 360o

3x + 5x + x + 2x + x = 360o

12x = 360o

x = 30o
47.

In the figure, PS = SR and Rx is a tangent to the circle at R, < QRX is equal to 72o. Find P

A. 20o

B. 36o

C. 72o

D. 30o

E. 15o

Detailed Solution

XRQ = RSQ (Alternate segment)

s = 72o

(80o - 72o = 180o)

a + b + c = 190o = 2b + c = 180o

2b + 108 = 180o

2b = 72o

b = 36o
48.

A. \(\sqrt{3}

B. 4 \(\pi - \sqrt{3}\)

C. -\(\frac{2}{3} \pi\)

D. \(\frac{2\pi}{3}\) -3

Detailed Solution

Area of section = \(\frac{60^o}{360^o}\) x 11r2

= \(\frac{60}{360} \times \pi \times 2^2\)

= \(\frac{1}{6}\) x 4

= \(\frac{4\pi}{6}\)

= \(\frac{2\pi}{3}\)

Area of triangle = \(\frac{1}{2x}\)

= 2 x 28.......60

Segment Area = Area of section - Area of triangle

= \(\frac{2\pi}{3}\) -3
