Question : The radii of two concentric circles are $68\;\mathrm{cm}$ and $22\;\mathrm{cm}$. The area of the closed figure bounded by the boundaries of the circles is ______.
Option 1: $4140\pi\;\operatorname{cm^2}$
Option 2: $4110\pi \;\operatorname{cm^2}$
Option 3: $4080\pi\;\operatorname{cm^2}$
Option 4: $4050\pi\;\operatorname{cm^2}$
Correct Answer: $4140\pi\;\operatorname{cm^2}$

Question : If $x=asin\theta-bcos\theta, y=acos\theta+bsin\theta$, then which of the following is true?
Option 1: $\frac{x^2}{y^2}+\frac{a^2}{b^2}=1$
Option 2: $x^2+y^2=a^2-b^2$
Option 3: $\frac{x^2}{a^2}+\frac{y^2}{b^2}=1$
Option 4: $x^2+y^2=a^2+b^2$
Correct Answer: $x^2+y^2=a^2+b^2$
Solution : Given: $x=a\sin\theta-b\cos\theta, y=a\cos\theta+b\sin\theta$ Now, $x^2+y^2$ = $(a\sin\theta-b\cos\theta)^2+(a\cos\theta+b\sin\theta)^2$ = $a^2\sin^2\theta+b^2\cos^2\theta-2ab\sin\theta \cos\theta+a^2\cos^2\theta+b^2\sin^2\theta+2ab\sin\theta \cos\theta$ = $a^2(\sin^2\theta+\cos^2\theta)+b^2(\sin^2\theta+\cos^2\theta)$ = $a^2+b^2$ Hence, the correct answer is $x^2+y^2=a^2+b^2$.
