Question:
ABCD is a trapezoid where BC is parallel to AD and perpendicular to AB . Kindly note that BC<AD . P is a point on AD such that CPD is an equilateral triangle. Q is a point on BC such that AQ is parallel to PC . If the area of the triangle CPD is 4√3. Find the area of the triangle ABQ.

- 2√3
- 4√3
- 4
- 8√3
- None of the above

Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
According to the question:
AQ = PC, AB = CR, ABQ ≃ CRP
Then, Area of ABQ = Area of CRP = 1/2 x Area of CPD = 1/2 x 4√3 = 2√3
Hence, option A is the correct answer.

- The problem below consists of a question and two statements numbered 1 & 2. You have to decide whether the data provided in the statements are sufficient to answer the question.
In a cricket match, three slip fielders are positioned in a straight line. The distance between the 1st slip and the 2nd slip is the same as the distance between the 2nd slip and the 3rd slip. The player X, who is not on the same line of slip fielders, throws a ball to the 3rd slip and the ball takes 5 seconds to reach the player at the 3rd slip. If he had thrown the ball at the same speed to the 1st slip or to the 2nd slip, it would have taken 3 seconds or 4 seconds, respectively. What is the distance between the 2nd slip and player X?
1. The ball travels at a speed of 3.6 km/hour.
2. The distance between the 1st slip and the 3rd slip is 2 meters.- XAT - 2023

- In an 8-week course, the teacher conducts a test every week, and the scores are in the range of 1–4. There are only two students enrolled in the course, \(R\) and \(S\). The following conditions are given:
- \(R\) and \(S\) scored the same on the first test.
- From the second test onwards, \(R\) consistently scored the same (a non-zero score).
- The total of the first three test scores of \(R\) equals the total of the first two test scores of \(S\).
- From the fifth test onwards, \(S\) scored the same as \(R\).
- The scores of \(S\) from the first two tests and all the remaining tests follow a geometric progression.
