 Question 8
In the following diagram, the point R is the center of the circle. The lines PQ and ZV are tangential to the circle. The relation among the areas of the squares, PXWR, RUVZ and SPQT is

 A Area of SPQT = Area of RUVZ = Area of PXWR B Area of SPQT = Area of PXWR - Area of RUVZ C Area of PXWR = Area of SPQT - Area of RUVZ D Area of PXWR = Area of RUVZ - Area of SPQT

Question 8 Explanation:
From $\Delta$PQR by Pythagoras theorem,
$PR^2=PQ^2+QR^2$
Also, QR = RZ,
$\Rightarrow$ $PR^2=PQ^2+RZ^2$
$\Rightarrow$ Area of PXWR = Area of SPQT + Area of RUVZ
$\Rightarrow$ Area of SPQT = Area of PXWR - Area of RUVZ
 Question 9
Given the statements:

P is the sister of Q.
Q is the husband of R.
R is the mother of S.
T is the husband of P.

Based on the above information, T is ______ of S.
 A the grandfather B an uncle C the father D a brother

Question 10 Explanation:
Given,
$\frac{P}{Q}=\frac{1}{2}, \frac{Q}{R}=\frac{4}{3},\frac{R}{S}=\frac{4}{5}$
$\frac{P}{Q}=\frac{1 \times 8}{2 \times 8}, \frac{Q}{R}=\frac{4\times 4}{3\times 4},\frac{R}{S}=\frac{4 \times 3}{5 \times 3}$
\begin{aligned} P&:&Q&:&R&:&S\\ 8&:&16&:&12&:&15 \end{aligned}
$U=15 \times 1.5=22.5$
$\frac{P}{U}=\frac{ 8}{22.5}= \frac{16}{45}$
