(4) Find the ratio of radius to circumference of the circle.

Q.2. (A) Attempt any TWO of the following : [4]

(1) Solve 8x + 3y = 11; 3x - y = 2
Solution : 8x + 3y = 11 ...................... (I)
3x - y = 2 ...................... (II)
In Equation (II), 3x - y = 2
3x - 2 = y
Substituting y = 3x - 2 in equation (I).
8x + 3y = 11
 8x + 3( ) = 11
 8x + 9x - 6 = 11
 17x - 6 = 11
 17x = 11 + 6 = 17
 x=
Now, substituting this value of x in the equation y = 3x - 2
 y= -2
