Option 1: 7.62 × 10–2
Option 2: 8.05 × 10–3
Option 3: 6.93 × 10–3
Option 4: 4.25 × 10–2
Correct Answer: 6.93 × 10–3
Solution : Given, The diameter of the disc = 21 cm ⇒ Radius of the disc, $r$ = $\frac{21}{2}$ cm Height of 60 discs if they stacked one above the other = 60 × $\frac{1}{3}$ = 20 cm So, the volume of the cylinder

Question : If $2^{2x-y}=16$ and $2^{x+y}=32$, the value of $xy$ is:
Option 1: $2$
Option 2: $4$
Option 3: $6$
Option 4: $8$
Correct Answer: $6$
Solution : Given: $2^{2x-y}=16$ $⇒2^{2x-y}=2^4$ $⇒2x-y=4$--------------------(1) Again, $2^{x+y}=32$ $⇒2^{x+y}=2^5$ $⇒x+y=5$ ---------------------(2) Solving equations (1) and (2), we get: $x=3$ and $y= 2$ $\therefore xy=3×2=6$ Hence, the correct answer is $6$.
