Q.11 Medium Geometry
Two concentric circles have radii r and R (where r < R). The area of the ring formed between them is equal to the area of the inner circle. What is the ratio R:r?
A √2:1
B 2:1
C √3:1
D 3:1
Correct Answer:  A. √2:1
EXPLANATION

The area of the ring = π(R² - r²).

Given that this equals the area of the inner circle = πr², we have R² - r² = r², which gives R² = 2r², so R = r√2.

Therefore, the ratio R:r = √2:1.

Q.12 Medium Geometry
A circle is inscribed in a square of side 8 cm. If a smaller square is inscribed in the circle, what is the area of the smaller square?
A 32 cm²
B 64 cm²
C 16 cm²
D 48 cm²
Correct Answer:  A. 32 cm²
EXPLANATION

The inscribed circle in the square has diameter 8 cm, so radius = 4 cm.

When a square is inscribed in this circle, its diagonal equals the diameter (8 cm).

If the diagonal of the smaller square is 8 cm, then using diagonal = side√2, we get side = 8/√2 = 4√2 cm.

Therefore, area = (4√2)² = 32 cm².

Q.13 Medium Algebra
If the sum of the roots of the quadratic equation 2x² + (k-3)x + (k-5) = 0 is equal to half of their product, then the value of k is:
A 11
B 9
C 7
D 5
Correct Answer:  A. 11
EXPLANATION

For a quadratic equation ax² + bx + c = 0, sum of roots = -b/a and product of roots = c/a.

Here, sum = -(k-3)/2 and product = (k-5)/2.

Given that sum = (1/2) × product, we have -(k-3)/2 = (1/2) × (k-5)/2.

Solving: -(k-3)/2 = (k-5)/4, which gives -2(k-3) = k-5, leading to -2k+6 = k-5, thus k = 11.
