Consider the ragular hexagon ABCDEF with centre at O (origin). Five forces vec(AB), vec(AC), vec(AD), vec(AE), vec(AF) act at the vertex A of a regular hexagon ABCDEF. Then their resultant is

Answer»

` 3 vec(AO)`
`2 vec(AO)`
`4 vec(AO)`
`6 vec(AO)`

SOLUTION :Consider the regular hexagon ABCDEF with centre at O (origin)

`vec(AD) + vec(EB) + vec(FC) = 2 vec(AO) + 2 vec(OB) + 2 vec(OC)`
`"" = 2 ( vec(AO) + vec(OB) ) + 2 vec(OC)`
`"" = 2 vec(AB) + 2 vec(AB) `
`"" ( because vec(OC) = vec(AB))`
`"" = 4 vec(AB)`
`vecR = vec(AB) + vec(AC) + vec(AD) + vec(AE) + vec(AF)`
`= vec(ED) + vec(AC) + vec(AD) + vec(AE) +vec(CD)`
`( because vec(AB) = vec(ED) and vec(AF)= vec(CD))`
`= ( vec(AC) + vec(CD)) + ( vec(AE) + vec(ED)) + vec(AD)`
`= vec(AD) + vec(AD) + vec(AD) = 3 vec(AD) = 6 vec(AO)`

Moving further ahead, they reach the castle walls where Tintin sees this mysterious poster (shown below) pasted on the wall. He realised that an entrance through a secret tunnel lay behind it which can be opened by climbing the “spiraling green leaves”. He realises that the poster is hinting towards a word. So help Tintin crack the logic of the poster, which demands the 4th letter in the word.

Answer»

H
B
E
D

Solution :The hint was the TERM, ‘Spiralling’ which indicated that, it was a square inside squarekind of spiral. Start from the outermost “SQUARE”,
To get the alphabet corresponding to that particular square,Connect each white square to the nearest x white squares in that chosen SQUARE, where xcorresponds to the NUMBER in that squareFor the 6​th​ square (the central square of the whole box) use the directions given to figurethe PATH.
Hence the ANSWER is option A)H.

If the sides of a cyclic quadrilateral are 3,3,4,4, show that a circle be inscribed in it.

Answer»

Solution :Since, length of tangents from EXTERNAL point to a circle are equal.
`THEREFORE` AP=AS………(i)
BP= BQ ……(ii)
CR = CQ ………….(iii)
DR=DS…………..(iv)
`therefore AB+ CD = (AP + PB) (CR + DR)`
`=(AS + BQ) + (CR + DS)
=(AS+DS) + (BQ+CR)`

`rArr AB + CD = AD + BC`.....(1)
`therefore` A circle can be inscribed in a QUADRILATERA, if sides of a quadrilateral satisfies (1)
Sides of quadrilateral are 3,3,4,4.
If we take AB=3, CD=4, BC=3, AD=4
`therefore AB+CD = BC + AD=7`
`therefore` Circle is inscribed in quadrilateral ABCD.
If sum of opposite sides of a quadrilateral is equal. only then a cirlcle can be inscribed in a quadrilateral.
