Assignment- 0
TYPE OF QUESTION: MCQ
Number of questions: 10 Total mark: 10 X 1 = 10
QUESTION 1:
Sides of Δ ABC are a, b and c respectively. Find the length of side c when a = 5 cm, b = 4 cm
and the internal angle between b and c is 60o.

a. 6.27 cm or 2.25 cm.


b. 5.61 cm.
c. 3.92 cm or 1.27 cm
d. 1.61 cm.

Correct Answer: b

Detailed Solution:
Using the cosine rule, a2 = b2 + c2 – 2bc cos(A) and substituting, a=5, b=4 and A=60o, we obtain,
c2 – 4c – 9 = 0.
Therefore, c = 5.6056, –1.6056 (Negative value for length is ignored)

Ans: (b) 5.61 cm

QUESTION 2:
The value of θ in the equation 4 sin(θ) + 2 cos(θ) = 0.5 is ___________.

a. 147.02o or -20.15o
b. -57.01o or 28.39o
c. -57.01o or 110.14o
d. 20.15o or -57.50o

Correct Answer: a

Detailed Solution:

4 sinθ + 2 cosθ = 0.5

4 2
⇒ � 42 + 22 × � sinθ + cosθ� = 0.5
√42 + 22 √42 + 22

⇒ √20(cos26.565° sinθ + sin26.565° cosθ) = 0.5

0.5
⇒ sin(θ + 26.565° ) =
√20

⇒ θ + 26.565° = 6.419° , 173.581°

∴ θ = −20.146° , 147.016°

Ans: (a)

QUESTION 4:
If a=3i + 5j and b=7i + 2j then |a × b| = ___________ and Arg( (a.b) a + b ) =___________.
Where Arg() stands for argument/angle of the vector.

a. 29 and 17.2150
b. 29 and 57.5050
c. 6 and 57.5050
d. 6 and 17.2150

Correct Answer: b

Detailed Solution:

|a × b| = | (2×3)-(7×5)| = 29

Arg( (a.b) a + b )= Arg( 31(3i + 5j) + 7i + 2j)=)= Arg(100i + 157j)=ATan(1.57)=57.505o

Ans: (b) 29 and 57.5050

QUESTION 5:

a. (7, 2)
b. (2, 7)
c. (8, -11)
d. (-8, 11)

Correct Answer: b

Detailed Solution:

� � �𝑦𝑦� = � � ⇒ �𝑦𝑦� = � �
2 −3 −17 7
Ans: (b) (2, 7)

QUESTION 6:
What will be the equation of a line passing through points (1,2) and (4,3)?
a. 3y + x = 5
b. y + 3x = 5
c. y = 3x + 5
d. 3y = x + 5

Correct Answer: d
𝑦𝑦−2 𝑥𝑥−1
Detailed Solution: = ⇒ 3y − 6 = x − 1 ⇒ −x + 3y = 5
2−3 1−4

Ans: (d) 3y = x + 5

QUESTION 9:
Given a vector a= - i + 2j, determine its angle with the positive y axis measured CCW.
a. -63.435o
b. 63.435o
c. 26.5650
d. 116.565o

Correct Answer: c

Detailed Solution:

θ = tan -1(1/2) = atan2 (1,2) = 26.5650

Ans: (c) 26.5650

QUESTION 10:
A vector a=3i + 4j is rotated by 30o in the counter-clockwise direction. Then vector a after the
rotation is _____________.

a. -0.598i-4.964 j
b. 0.598i-4.964 j
c. -0.598i +4.964 j
d. 0.598i +4.964j

Correct Answer: d

Detailed Solution:

Earlier angle = tan -1(4/3) = 53.130

After 600 CCW rotation, new angle = 53.130 + 300 = 83.130

Amplitude of the vector, √(32 + 42) = 5

New representation, a1 = 5 cos 83.130i + 5 sin 83.130j = 0.598i +4.964 j

Ans: (d) 0.598i +4.964 j
