Question : The curved surface area of a solid circular cylinder of height 12 cm is 2640 cm2. What is the volume (in cm3) of the cylinder? (Take $\pi =\frac{22}{7}$)
Option 1: 46200
Option 2: 37900
Option 3: 42000
Option 4: 55200
Correct Answer: 46200
Solution : Given: The curved Surface area of a cylinder = 2640 cm2 ⇒ $2πrh = 2640$ ⇒ $r=\frac{2640}{2π×12}$ ⇒ $r=\frac{2640×7}{2×22×12}$ ⇒ $r =\frac{18480}{528}$ $\therefore r=35$ cm So, the volume of cylinder = $πr^2h=\frac{22}{7}×(35)^2×12=46200$ cm3 Hence, the correct answer is 46200.

Question : If $2^x+3^y=17$ and $2^{x+2}-3^{y+1}=5$, then:
Option 1: $x= 1, y = 3$
Option 2: $x = 3, y = 3$
Option 3: $x = 3, y = 2$
Option 4: $x = 1, y = 2$
Correct Answer: $x = 3, y = 2$
Solution : $2^x+3^y=17$ $2^{x+2}-3^{y+1}=5$ By trial and error method, When $y = 2, x= 3$ $2^3+3^2=8+9=17$ $2^{3+2}-3^{2+1}=32–27=5$ Hence, the correct answer is $x = 3 $ and $y = 2$.
Question : If $x$ percent of $x$ is 256, then what is the value of $x$?

Correct Answer: 160
Solution : According to the question ⇒ $\frac{x}{100}×x$ = 256 = $\frac{x^2}{100}$ = 256 ⇒ ${x^2}$ = 256 × 100 = 25600 ⇒ $x = \sqrt{25600}$ = 160 Hence, the correct answer is 160
