Question : In a $\triangle \mathrm{PQR}$ and $\triangle\mathrm{ABC}$, $\angle$P = $\angle$A and AC = PR. Which of the following conditions is true for $\triangle$PQR and $\triangle$ABC to be congruent?
Option 1: AB = PQ by SSS
Option 2: AB = PQ by SAS
Option 3: BC = QR by ASS
Option 4: $\angle$Q = $\angle$B by AAA
Correct Answer: AB = PQ by SAS
Solution : In a $\triangle \mathrm{PQR}$ and $\triangle \mathrm{ABC}$, $\angle$P = $\angle$A AC = PR For triangle PQR and ABC to be congruent if AB = PQ then they will be congruent by SAS rule. Hence, the correct answer is AB = PQ
Question : The volume of a right circular cone having a base diameter of 14 cm is 196$\pi$ cm3. Find the perpendicular height of this cone
Option 1: 10 cm
Option 2: 12 cm
Option 3: 14 cm
Option 4: 8 cm
Correct Answer: 12 cm
Solution : Given: The volume of a right circular cone = $196\pi\ \text{cm}^3$ Diameter of base = 14 cm Radius = 7 cm Volume of the cone = $\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2 h$ ⇒ $196\pi = \frac{1}{3}\pi r^2 h$ ⇒ $196 = \frac{1}{3}\times7\times7\times h$ ⇒ $h = 12\
