AB is a vertical pole with B at the ground level and A at the top. A man finds that the angle of elevation of the point A from a certain point C on the ground is 60°. He moves away from the pole along the line BC to a point D such that CD = 7 m. From D the angle of elevation of the point A is 45°.
Then the height of the pole is

The mean of the numbers a, b, 8, 5, 10 is 6 and the variance is 6.80. Then which one of the following gives possible values of a and b?

  • a = 0, b = 7 

  • a = 5, b = 2

  • a = 1, b = 6

  • a = 1, b = 6


D.

a = 1, b = 6

Mean of a, b, 8, 5, 10 is 6

rightwards double arrow space fraction numerator straight a plus space straight b plus space 8 space plus space 5 plus space 10 over denominator 5 end fraction space equals space 6
rightwards double arrow space straight a space plus straight b space equals space 7 space space space space... space left parenthesis straight i right parenthesis
Given space that space variance space is space 6.8
therefore comma space Variance space equals space fraction numerator straight capital sigma space left parenthesis straight x subscript straight i space minus space straight A right parenthesis squared over denominator straight n end fraction
space equals space fraction numerator left parenthesis straight a minus 6 right parenthesis squared space plus space left parenthesis straight b minus 6 right parenthesis squared space plus space 4 plus 1 space plus 16 over denominator 5 end fraction space equals space 6.8
rightwards double arrow space straight a squared space plus straight b squared space equals space 25
straight a squared space plus space left parenthesis 7 minus straight a right parenthesis squared space equals space 25
rightwards double arrow space straight a squared minus 7 straight a space plus 12 space equals space 0
therefore space straight a space equals space 4 comma 3 space and space straight b space equals space 3 comma 4

Statement − 1: For every natural number n ≥ 2 fraction numerator 1 over denominator square root of 1 end fraction space plus space fraction numerator 1 over denominator square root of 2 end fraction space plus space..... space plus space fraction numerator 1 over denominator square root of straight n end fraction space greater than space square root of straight n

Statement −2: For every natural number n ≥ 2,straight n greater or equal than 2 comma space square root of straight n left parenthesis straight n plus 1 right parenthesis space end root space less than space straight n plus 1

  • Statement −1 is false, Statement −2 is true

  • Statement −1 is true, Statement −2 is true, Statement −2 is a correct explanation for Statement −1

  • Statement −1 is true, Statement −2 is true; Statement −2 is not a correct explanation for Statement −1.

  • Statement −1 is true, Statement −2 is true; Statement −2 is not a correct explanation for Statement −1.
