Question : $\triangle PQR$ is right-angled at $Q$. The length of $PQ$ is 5 cm and $\angle P R Q=30^{\circ}$. Determine the length of the side $QR$.
Option 1: $5 \sqrt{3}~cm$
Option 2: $3 \sqrt{3}~cm$
Option 3: $\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}~cm$
Option 4: $\frac{5}{\sqrt{3}}~cm$
Correct Answer: $5 \sqrt{3}~cm$
Solution : $\angle PRQ$ = 30° ⇒ $\tan 30° = \frac{PQ}{QR}$ ⇒ $\frac{1}{\sqrt3} = \frac{5}{QR}$ ⇒ $QR = 5\sqrt{3}$ cm Hence, the correct answer is $5\sqrt{3}~cm$.
Question : The total surface area of a cylinder is 4092 cm2 and the diameter of its base is 21 cm. What is 50% volume (in cm3) of the cylinder (nearest to an integer)?
Option 1: 8832
Option 2: 8822
Option 3: 8922
Option 4: 8932
Correct Answer: 8922
Solution :
The diameter of the base = 21 The radius of the base, $r$ = $\frac{21}{2}$ Let $h$ be the height. According to the question, Total surface area of cylinder = $2\pi r(r + h)$ ⇒ $2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times \frac{21}{2}(\frac{21}{2} + h) = 4092$ ⇒
