If three sides of a rectangular park have a total length of 400 ft, then area of park is maximum when length(in ft) of its longer side is ?

 

Let the length and breadth of the park be l and b, l > b
Case 1: 2l + b = 400
Area = lb. Area is maximum when 2l * b is maximum, which is maximum when 2l = b

=> l = 100, b = 200. Which can't happen since l > b

Case 2: l + 2b = 400
Area = lb. Area is maximum when l *2 b is
maximum, which is maximum when l = 2b

=> l = 200, b = 100.

Hence the length of the longer side is 200 ft

What is the diameter of largest hemisphere that can be inscribed in a cube of edge length 1?

√3(√3 - 1)

0.4√6(√6 - 1)

√3

1

Place a hemishphere such that ends of it's diameter coincide with opposite vertices of any face of cube

Diameter = diagonal of cube =a√3 

Here a=1 

So diameter of hemishphere =√3

You can check that other values are less than √3 hence option (c)

But the correct ans is option (b)

Hello Kinshuk ! PFA the solution :

The solution of Question  Number 27. 

Alternate Approach :

PFA ,

bigger cube will be converted into cube of dimension (6*6*6)

u can see one face of cube in figure those which are coloured will only be painted on one side and the cubes in edges will be coloured in more than 1 side

hence for 1 face =4*4=16

for six face =16*6=96

A regular tetrahedron of length 12 cm is accommodated in a sphere such that all its vertices touch the sphere. Find the radius of the sphere.                  Options : 1)7.2 cm  2)7 cm  3)7.5 cm  4)6.5 cm

in tetrahedron height h = (√6/3)a where a = length of an edge

so, in this case, h=(√6/3)*12 which is (√6)*4

we know the height of tetrahedron is divided in the ratio of 2:1 from the centre of the sphere or   centroid of the tetrahedron 

so radius of sphere =(2/3)*(√6)*4=8*2.44/3

                                  =19.52/3=6.5 

hence option (4) is correct 

Sorry for the wrong solution here is the right one 

U can also learn directly 

Radius of sphere inside tetrahedron= h/4

And radius of sphere circumscribing tetrahedron =3h/4

Sir , please share the solutions of questions 25 and 26 -

26. 

Let the larger radius be x. By the power of a point theorem,
AB BC = FB2
x(x-42) = (x-24)2
6x = 242,
x = 96.
Now the smaller radius is AC/2 = (AB+BC)/2 = (2x -42)/2 = x-21 = 75. Hence the radius of the smaller circle = 75.
