Question 18

ΔXYZ is similar to ΔPQR. If ratio of perimeters of ΔXYZ : ΔPQR is 3:2 and if PQ = 6 cm then what is the length of XY (in cm)?

Accepted Answer

For similar triangles, the ratio of corresponding sides equals the ratio of their perimeters. Thus, XY/PQ = 3/2. Substituting PQ = 6 gives XY/6 = 3/2, so XY = 9 cm.

Question 19

Which among the following neighbouring country of India is the largest producer of Opium in the World?

Accepted Answer

Afghanistan is the world's largest producer of opium, historically accounting for the vast majority of the global supply due to its favorable climate and socio-economic conditions.

Question 20

An amount fetched a total simple interest of Rs. 3200 at the rate of 6.25 %/yr in 4 years. What is the amount (in Rs)?

Accepted Answer

Using the formula SI = (P × R × T) / 100, we get 3200 = (P × 6.25 × 4) / 100. This simplifies to 3200 = P / 4, so P = 12800.
