Question : If the side of a square is $\frac{1}{2}(x+1)$ units and its diagonal is $\frac{3-x}{\sqrt{2}}$ units, then the length of the side of the square would be:
Option 1: $\frac{4}{3}$ units
Option 2: $\frac{1}{2}$ unit
Option 3: 1 unit
Option 4: 2 units
Correct Answer: 1 unit
Solution : Given: Side = $\frac{1}{2}(x+1)$ and diagonal = $\frac{3−x}{\sqrt2}$ We know that diagonal = $\sqrt 2$ × side Putting the values, we get: ⇒ $\frac{3−x}{\sqrt2} = \sqrt2(\frac{1}{2}(x+1))$ ⇒ $3−x =x+1$ ⇒ $x = 1$ Hence, the correct answer is 1 unit.

Question : The radius of a solid right circular cone is 36 cm and its height is 105 cm. The total surface area (in cm2) of the cone is:
Option 1: $4296 \pi$
Option 2: $3996 \pi$
Option 3: $5292 \pi$
Option 4: $3969 \pi$
Correct Answer: $5292 \pi$
Solution : Radius, $r$ = 36 cm Height, $h$ = 105 cm Slant height, $l =\sqrt{r^2+h^2}$ = $\sqrt{36^2+105^2}$ = $\sqrt{1296+11025}$ = $\sqrt{12321}$ = 111 cm The total surface area of a cone = $\pi r (r+l)$ = $\pi ×36× (36+111)$ = $5292 \pi$ cm$^2$ Hence, the
