CAT (QA) PYQs

In a right-angled triangle $\triangle A B C$, the altitude $A B$ is $5 \mathrm{~cm}$, and the base $B C$ is $12 \mathrm{~cm}$. $P$ and $Q$ are two points on $B C$ such that the areas of $\triangle \mathrm{ABP}, \triangle \mathrm{ABQ}$ and $\triangle \mathrm{ABC}$ are in arithmetic progression. If the area of $\triangle \mathrm{ABC}$ is $1.5$ times the area of $\triangle \mathrm{ABP}$, the length of PQ in cm , is

From a triangle $ABC$ with sides of lengths $40$ ft, $25$ ft and $35$ ft, a triangular portion $GBC$ is cut off where $G$ is the centroid of $ABC$. The area, in sq ft, of the remaining portion of triangle $ABC$ is

A circle of diameter $8$ inches is inscribed in a triangle ABC where $\angle A B C=90^{\circ}$. If $B C=10$ inches then the area of the triangle in square inches is
