Q1
Which of the following cannot be the probability of an event?
(A) 1.5
(B) 3/5
(C) 25%
(D) 0.3Marks:1View AnswerAnswer:
The correct answer is A.
The probability of an event is always greater than or equal to zero and less than or equal to one i.e., 0£P(E)£1.
Here, 3/5=0.6 and 25%=0.25
Therefore, 0.6, 0.25 and 0.3 are greater than or equal to 0 and are less than or equal to 1. But 1.5 is greater than 1. Thus, 1.5 can not be the probability of an event.

Q4
The angle of elevation of the top of a tower from a point on the ground, which is 30 m away from the foot of the tower is 45°. The height of the tower (in metres) is
(A) 15
(B) 30
(C) 30
3
(D) 103
Marks:1View AnswerAnswer:
The correct option is B
Let AB be the tower and P be the point on the ground. It is given that BP=30 m,
P=45°Now, AB/BP=tan45°
AB/30m=1AB=30m. Thus, the height of the tower is 30m.

Q7
In figure, PA and PB are tangents to the circles with centre O. If
APB=60°, then OAB is
(A) 30°
(B) 60°
(C) 90°
(D) 15°Marks:1View AnswerAnswer:
Thus, the correct option is A.
PA and PB are tangents to the circle from an external point O.
Therefore, PA=PB.
PAB is an isosceles triangle where PAB=PBAP+PAB+PBA=180° [Angle sum property of triangle]60°+2ÐPAB=180°
2ÐPAB=180°-60°
=120°
ÐPAB=120°/2
=60°
It is known that the radius is perpendicular to the tangent at the point of contact.
OAB=90°PAB+OAB=90°OAB=90° - 60° =30°

Q8
In figure, O is the centre of a circle, AB is a chord and AT is the tangent at A. If
AOB=100°, then BAT is equal to
(A) 100°
(B) 40°
(C) 50°
(D) 90°Marks:1View AnswerAnswer:
Thus, the correct option is C.
It is given thatAOB=100°DAOB is isosceles because OA=OB= radius
OAB=OBAAOB+OAB+OBA=180°100°+
OAB+OAB=180°2
OAB=180° - 100°OAB=80°/2=40°
Now,
OAT=90° [AT is tangent and OA is radius]Thus,
BAT=OAT-OAB=90°-40°
=50°.
