Sol.

AC = R cot = 3 R = 3 tan
AC = AB + BC
AC = r cot + (R + r) cos
(R r) cot = (R + r) cos
Rr 1 sin r
sin = R r

11. The number of 5 digit numbers of the form x y z y x in which x < y is:
(A) 350 (B*) 360 (C) 380 (D) 390

Sol. The first digit ' x ' can be any one of from 1 to 8
where as ' z ' can be any one from 0 to 9
when x = 1, y = 2, 3, 4,......, 9
x = 2, y = 3, 4,......, 9 and so on
Thus the total = (8 + 7 + 6 +...... + 2 + 1) 10 = 360
