18. Two engineering students are solving a problem leading to a quadratic equation. One student made a
mistake in the coefficient of the first-degree term, got roots of 2 and -3. The other student made a
mistake in the coefficient of the constant term got roots of -1 and 4. What is the correct equation?
a. x 2−6 x−3=0
b. x 2+ 6 x+3=0
c. x 2+ 3 x +6=0
d. x 2−3 x−6=0

Answer: D. x 2−3 x−6=0

Explanation: let Ax 2 +Bx +C=0 be the correct equation
For the first student who got roots of 2∧−3 :
( x−2 ) ( x+3 )=0
x 2+ x−6=0 ⟶1 st equation
∴ since he madea mistake onthe coefficient of the constant term ( B ) only ,
then A=1∧C=−6 are correct .

For the other student who got roots of −1∧4 :

( x +1 )( x−4 )=0
x 2−3 x−4=0⟶ 2 nd equation
∴ since he madea mistake onthe constant term ( C ) only ,the A=1∧B=−3 are correct
Thus , the correct equation is x 2−3 x−6=0

b. chiliagon
c. hectogon
d. centigon

Answer: A. Myriagon
Explanation: In geometry, a myriagon or 10000-gon is a polygon with 10,000 sides. Several philosophers
have used the regular myriagon to illustrate issues regarding thought.

87. If a triangle is inscribed inside a circle, where one side of the triangle is the diameter of the circle, then the
angle of opposite to that side is a right angle.
a. Thales Theorem
b. Napier’s Rule
c. Pythagorean Theorem
d. Right triangle law of circles

Answer: A. Thales Theorem

Explanation: In geometry, Thales's theorem states that if A, B, and C are distinct points on a circle where
the line AC is a diameter, then the angle ∠ABC is a right angle.

88. What do you call a polygon with 44 sides?
a. undecagon
b. tetracontagon
c. quadriquadricontagon
d. 44-gon

Answer: D. 44-gon
Explanation: They can have 4 sides, 44 sides, or even 444 sides. The names would be 4-gon, or
quadrilateral, 44-gon, and 444-gon, respectively. An 11-sided shape can be called an 11-gon.

89. A figured formed on the surface of a sphere by three great circular arcs intersecting pairwise in three
vertices.
a. Spherical triangle
b. Circular triangle
c. Triangular sphere
d. Sphere

Answer: A. Spherical triangle

Expression: Spherical trigonometry is the branch of spherical geometry that deals with the relationships
between trigonometric functions of the sides and angles of the spherical polygons defined by a number of
intersecting great circles on the sphere.

90. The point of intersection of all medians of a triangle.

a. centroid
b. incenter
c. circumcenter
d. excentre

Answer: A. Centroid
Explanation: A centroid is the central point of a figure and is also called the geometric center. It is the
point that matches to the center of gravity of a particular shape. It is the point which corresponds to the
mean position of all the points in a figure. The centroid is the term for 2-dimensional shapes.
