^x sin qh sin2 q + ^y cos qh cos2 q = sin q cos q

x sin q ^sin2 qh + ^x sin qh cos2 q = sin q cos q
x sin q ^sin2 q + cos2 qh = sin q cos q
x sin θ = sin q cos q & x = cos θ
Now, x sin θ = y cos θ
cos q sin q = y cos θ
Radius is perpendicular to the tangent at point of
contact. y = sin θ
Thus, OA = AP and OB = PB . Hence, x2 + y2 = cos2 q + sin2 q = 1

Ans : [Board 2020 SQP Standard]

We have +C = 90c
Since, +A + +B + +C = 180c
+A + +B = 180c − +C
= 180c − 90c = 90c
Now, sec (A + B) = sec 90c not defined

Ans : [Board Term-1 Delhi 2014]

Since, a , b and c and are in ascending order, therefore

median is b i.e b = 35 .

Mean a + b + c = 50
3
In 3 ABC , we have
a + b + c = 150
sin 30c = AB
AC a + c = 150 − 35 = 115 ...(1)
1 = AB Also, it is given that c - a = 55 ...(2)
2 AC
Subtracting equation (2) and (1), we get
1 = AB & AB = 10 m
2 20 a = 30
Hence, the height of the pole is 10 m. Hence, b - a = 35 − 30 = 5
Thus (b) is correct option. Thus (d) is correct option.

because the only prime in the factorization
At D DR = DS (4) of 4n = 22n is 2. So, the uniqueness of the
Adding eqn. (1), (2), (3), (4) Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic guarantees that
there are no other primes in the factorization of 4n .
AP + BP + DR + CR = AS + DS + BQ + CQ So, there is no natural number n for which 4n ends

36. Mutual Fund : A mutual fund is a type of financial
vehicle made up of a pool of money collected from
many investors to invest in securities like stocks,
bonds, money market instruments, and other assets.
Mutual funds are operated by professional money
managers, who allocate the fund’s assets and attempt
to produce capital gains or income for the fund’s
investors.

Ans : [ Board Term-2 Foreign 2016]

Diameter of the largest semi circle = 14 cm

Since remainder is 648, V (8) = 648 . Thus volume of

remaining solid is 648 cubic inch at x = 8 inch.
(iii) V (8) = 8 3 + 82 + 10 # 8 − 8

Since remainder is 1192, V (8) = 1192 . Thus volume

of remaining solid is 1192 cubic inch at x = 10 inch.
