In \(\bigtriangleup\)PQR, PQ = 10cm, QR = 8cm and RP = 6cm, the perpendicular RS is drawn from R to PQ. Find the length of RS A. 4cm B. 32cm C. \(\frac{30}{7}\) D. \(\frac{40}{7}\) E. 4.8cm
Show Content
Detailed SolutionCos Q = \(\frac{r^2 + p^2 - q^2}{2rp}\)= \(\frac{10^2 + 8^2 - 6^2}{2(10)(8)}\) = \(\frac{164 - 36}{160}\) = \(\frac{128}{160}\) = 0.8 Q = Cos-1 o.8 = 37o x rep. from rt< RSQ, Let RS = x \(\frac{x}{sin 37^o}\) = \(\frac{8}{sin 90^o}\) but sin 90o = 1 x = 8 sin 37o x = 4.8cm |

After getting a rise of 15%, a man's new monthly salary is N345. How much per month did he earn before the increase? A. N330 B. N396.75 C. N300 D. N293.25 E. N360
Show Content
Detailed SolutionLet x represent his monthly salary before increase 15% ofx = 345 % profit = (100 + 15)% = 115% \(\frac{115}{100}\)x = 345 115x = 34500 x = N300.00 |

The annul profits of a transport business were divided between the partners A and B in the ratio 3 : 5. If B received N3000 more than A, the total profit was A. N5000 B. N1800 C. N12000 D. N24000 E. N8000
Show Content
Detailed SolutionA : B = 3 : 5Total ratio = 3 + 5 = 8 Let rept, the total profit, A receives \(\frac{3x}{8}\) \(\frac{5x}{8}\) - \(\frac{3}{x}\) = 3000 \(\frac{5x}{8}\) - \(\frac{3x}{8}\) = 3000 = \(\frac{2x}{8}\) = 3000 2x = 2400 x = 1200 N12,000 |
