Two positions of a dice are shown below. If the face with

$1$ dot is at the bottom, then the number of dots on the top face is

0%
$2$
0%
$3$
0%
$4$
0%
$5$

Explanation

Given (Ref. image 1)

Find : Dots on the top when

$1$ dot is at the bottom.

Solution : By seeing both dices we find two faces have same

$3$ dots.

So Rearrange the dices dots in clockwise.

Here dots

$3$ are same and different No. of dots are opposite in Both dices respectively as

$5 \leftrightarrow 6 \, ; \, 4 \leftrightarrow 2$ so Remaining

$3$ dots are opposite to

$1$ dot.

Hence the correct answer is option B.

An angle measuring

$270^{o}$ is:

0%
an obtuse angle
0%
an acute angle
0%
a straight angle

Measures of the two angles between an hour and minute hands of a clock at 9'O clock are

0%
${ 60 }^{ o },{ 300 }^{ o }$
0%
${ 270 }^{ o },{ 90 }^{ o }$
0%
${ 75 }^{ o },{ 285 }^{ o }$
0%
${ 30 }^{ o },{ 300 }^{ o }$

Explanation

$\textbf {Step1: Draw a relevant figure.}$

At 9 O'clock the minute hand will be at 12 and the hour hand will be at 9 as shown in figure.

$\textbf {Step 2: Identify the angles.}$

From the above figure, we can say that the angle between hour hand and minute hand of the clock is 90,270.

$\textbf {Hence, option B is correct.}$

The number of diagonals in a spetagon is

0%
$21$
0%
$42$
0%
$7$
0%
$14$

Explanation

Number of the diagonal in a polygon, where

$n$ isnumber of side of a polygon is

$\cfrac{n(n-3)}2$
Septagon has

$7$ sides, number of sides in a septagon

$n=7$

$\therefore\text{Number of diagonals in septagon}= \cfrac { 7(7-3) }{ 2 } =\cfrac { 7\times 4 }{ 2 } = 7\times 2=14$

So, option

$D$ is correct.

A polygon has a prime number of sides. Its number of sides is equal to the sum of the two least consecutive primes. The number of diagonals of the polygon is

0%
$4$
0%
$5$
0%
$7$
0%
$10$

Explanation

Given

Number of sides in the polygon

$=$ sum of the two least consecutive primes

$=2+3$ (

$\because$

$2$ and

$3$ are least consecutive prime number)

$=5$
We know that

The number of diagonal

$=\dfrac { n(n-3) }{ 2 }$ where,

$n=$ no. of sides

$= \dfrac { 5\times (5-3) }{ 2 } =5$

State true or false:

A polygon having 6 sides is called an octagon.

0%
True
0%
False

In figure, lines

$PQ$ and

$ST$ intersect at

$O$ . If

$\angle POR=90^o$ and

$x:y =3:2$ , then

$z$ is equal to

0%
$126^o$
0%
$144^o$
0%
$136^o$
0%
$154^o$

Explanation

We can see in the given figure,

$PQ$ is a straight line

$\therefore \angle POR +ROT +\angle TOQ =180^o$

$\Rightarrow 90^o +x+y=180^o$

$\Rightarrow x+y=90^o$

$\Rightarrow x+y=90^o$ ...(1)

Given that,

$\dfrac xy =\dfrac 32$

Let

$x=3K$ and

$y=2K$

From equation (1)

$\Rightarrow 3K+2K=90^o$

$\Rightarrow K=\dfrac{90^o}{5}$

$\Rightarrow K=18^o$

$\therefore y=2\times 18^o =36^o$

Now,

$SOT$ is a straight line

$\Rightarrow z+y=180^o$

$\Rightarrow z+36^o =180^o$

$\Rightarrow z=180^o-36^o$

$\Rightarrow z=144^o$

Hence, Option

$(B)$ is correct.

In Fig. which of the following is a regular polygon?

0%
(i)
0%
(ii)
0%
(iii)
0%
(iv)

Explanation

Option

$B$ is right

For a regular polygon, all sides and all angle must be equal to each other.

And, only figure

$(ii)$ follows this condition.

In a triangle, one angle is of

$90^{o}$ . Then
(i) The other two angles are of

$45^{o}$ each
(ii) In remaining two angles, one angle is

$90^{o}$ and other is

$45^{o}$
(iii) Remaining two angles are complementary

In the given option(s) which is always true?

0%
(i) only
0%
(ii) only
0%
(iii) only
0%
(i) and (ii)

In figure, the value of

$x$ is

0%
$110^o$
0%
$46^o$
0%
$64^o$
0%
$150^o$

Explanation

Option (d) is correct.
As we knew, the angle made around a point is

$360$ degree.
Then,

$\therefore y+64^o +46^o +100^o -360^o$

$\Rightarrow y+210^o =360^o$

$\Rightarrow y=360^o -210^o$

$\Rightarrow y=150^o$

It is possible to have a triangle in which two of the angles are obtuse.

0%
True
0%
False

Explanation

False
By angle sum property we know,

$\angle A+ \angle B+ \angle C =180^{o}$
According to the question, two angles are obtuse,

$\therefore \angle B+ \angle C > 180^{o}$
Thus, Triangle is not possible

In a solid if

$F=V = 5$ , then the number of edges in this shape is

0%
6
0%
4
0%
8
0%
2

Explanation

The correct answer is option

$(c).$

For any polyhedron, Euler' s formula ;

$F + V - E = 2$

Where,

$F$ = Face and

$V$ = Vertices and

$E$ = Edges

Given,

$F = V = 5$

On putting the values of

$F$ and

$V$ in the about formulae,

$5 + 5 - E = 2$

$\Rightarrow 10 - E = 2$

$\Rightarrow E = 8$

How many diagonals does a hexagon have ?

0%
$9$
0%
$8$

$2$
0%
$6$

Explanation

The polygon of

$n$ sides

$= \dfrac{n(n - 3)}{2}$

Hexagon has

$6$ sides

$= \dfrac{6 (6 - 3)}{2} = 9$
