Gamma Classes – Quantitative ability problem set

6. I am standing at the center (O) of a circle (C1) with radius 10cm. My 2 best friends are standing at any 2
random points outside the circle (but in the same plane) from which a pair of mutually perpendicular
tangents can be drawn to C1. Now all possible positions of my friends are joined to form a smooth curve.
What can be the maximum possible distance between my friends?

Fill in the blank

7. Now my friends have been instructed in such a way that the straight line joining their position cannot pass

s
through C1. They tell me that if they follow this rule then the distance between them (D) is less than x (i.e.
D<x). They have asked me to guess the least possible value of x. Find that number for me.

8. James Bond is trying to crack a four-character code to open a lock. He knows the characters used are the
digits 0 to 9 and 9 letters A to I. He also knows that there is no repetition in the code - else it will make the
code vulnerable. His secret device scans the lock and tells him that if a letter is used in the code then it must

as
immediately be followed by its numerical equivalent. This device can also allow Bond to try 16 combinations
every 1 minute. In how much time will he be able to crack the code?

c) 361 mins
d) 441 mins
