Q2
If the nth term of A.P. is (2n + 1), then the sum of its first three terms is
(A) 6n + 3
(B) 15
(C) 12
(D) 21Marks:1View AnswerAnswer:
nth term of A.P. is (2n + 1).
First term = 2(1) + 1 = 3
Second term = 2(2) + 1 = 5
Third term = 2(3) + 1 = 7
Hence, the sum of first three terms is 3 + 5 + 7 = 15.
Hence, the correct option (B)

Q4
In Figure 1, AP, AQ and BC are tangents to the circle. If AB = 5 cm, AC = 6 cm and BC = 4 cm, then the length of AP (in cm) is
(A) 7.5
(B) 15
(C) 10
(D) 9
Marks:1View AnswerAnswer:
We know, AB = 5
BP = AP – 5 …(i)Also, AC = 6
CQ = AQ – 6 …(ii)Now, BP = BO, CQ = CO and AP = AQ. (Q tangents drawn to a circle from an external point are equal in length)
BO + OC = 4 or BP + CQ = 4 …(iii)
Put the values of BP and CQ from eq. (i) and (ii) respectively in eq. (iii), we get
AP – 5 + AQ – 6 = 4
AP + AP – 11 = 4
2AP = 15
AP = 7.5 cm.
Hence, the correct option is (A).

Q6
A solid right circular cone is cut into two parts at the middle of its height by a plane parallel to its base. The ratio of the volume of the smaller cone to the whole cone is
(A) 1:2
(B) 1:4
(C) 1:6
(D) 1:8Marks:1View AnswerAnswer:
The given cone is of height 'h' with base radius 'r'.When the cone is cut into two parts the smaller cone is of height
By similar triangle property, we have

Q9
In figure 2, P(5, –3) and Q(3, y) are the points of trisection of the line segment joining A(7, –2) and B(1, –5). Then y equals

We know,
AB = 5 BP = AP – 5 …(i)Also, AC = 6
CQ = AQ – 6 …(ii)Now, BP = BO, CQ = CO
and AP = AQ. (Q tangents drawn to a circle from an
external point are equal in length)BO + OC = 4
or BP + CQ = 4 …(iii)Put the values of BP and CQ from eq. (i) and (ii) respectively in eq. (iii), we get
AP – 5 + AQ – 6 = 4
AP + AP – 11 = 4
2AP = 15
AP = 7.5 cm.
Hence, the correct option is (A).
