Question : What is the circumference of a circle whose radius is 10.5 cm?
Option 1: 21 cm
Option 2: 66 cm
Option 3: 30 cm
Option 4: 110 cm
Correct Answer: 66 cm
Solution : The circumference of a circle is given by the formula $C = 2\pi r$ where $r$ is the radius of the circle. Substituting $r = 10.5$ cm into the formula, $C = 2\pi \times 10.5= 2\times\frac{22}{7} \times 10.5= 66 \text{ cm}$ Hence, the correct
Question : Direction: The following pie chart shows the percentage distribution of the expenditure incurred in publishing a book. Read the pie chart and answer the question.
The central angle of the sector corresponding to the expenditure incurred on royalty is?
Option 1: 15°
Option 2: 48°
Option 3: 54°
Option 4: 24°
Correct Answer: 54°
Solution : The total value of the pie chart is 360°. So, the angle of expenditure on royalty $=\frac{15}{100}×360°=54°$ Hence, the correct answer is 54°.
Question : The perpendicular drawn from the vertices, to the opposite sides of a triangle, meet at the point whose name is:

Question : In $\triangle ABC$, the internal bisectors of $\angle B$ and $\angle C$ meet at point $O$. If $\angle A = 80^\circ$, then $\angle BOC$ is equal to:
Option 1: $100^\circ$
Option 2: $120^\circ$
Option 3: $130^\circ$
Option 4: $140^\circ$
Correct Answer: $130^\circ$
Solution : Given: $\angle A = 80^\circ$ To find: $\angle BOC$ We know that, Angle formed by internal bisectors of base angles = $90^\circ+\frac{1}{2}\angle A$ ⇒ $\angle BOC$ = $90^\circ+\frac{1}{2}\angle A$ = $90^\circ+\frac{1}{2}×80^\circ$ = $90^\circ+40^\circ$ = $130^\circ$ Hence, the correct answer is $130^\circ$.
