In an equilateral triangle, another equilateral triangle is drawn inside joining the mid-points of the sides of the given equilateral triangle and the process continues uptofive times. What is the ratio of the area of fourth triangle to that of sixth triangle? (Original triangle is counted as 1st triangle) Correct Answer 16 ∶ 1

Let the length of side of first equilateral triangle = a;

As shown in the figure, when a equilateral triangle is drawn inside another equilateral triangle joining the mid-points of the sides, the sides of that triangle will be half of the side of the 1st equilateral triangle;

∶ = 16 ∶ 1

Given below are three quantities named 1, 2 and 3. Based on the given information, you have to determine the relationship between the three quantities. You should use the given data and knowledge of Mathematics to choose between the possible answer. Quantity 1: Area of the innermost square. A square is made by joining the midpoints of a square of area 200 sq. m. The outermost square is called Square 1, The square inside it is called Square 2. The next square is made by joining midpoints of square 2 and is called Square 3. This process goes on. Square 5 is the innermost square. Quantity 2: A man starts with a speed of 10 km/hr. He increases his speed by 10 km/hr every hour at the start and drives at the same speed for that hour. If he traveled a total distance of 550 km.
