Question : The diameter of a circular wheel is 7 m. How many revolutions will it make in travelling 22 km?
Option 1: 100
Option 2: 400
Option 3: 500
Option 4: 1000
Correct Answer: 1000
Solution : The distance covered in one revolution of a wheel is equal to its circumference, $C$. $C = \pi d$, where $d$ is the diameter of the wheel. We have the diameter of the wheel is 7 m. $\therefore C = \pi \times 7 = \frac{22}{7}×7
Question : Let P and Q be two points on a circle with centre O. If two tangents of the circle through P and Q meet at A with $\angle PAQ=48^{\circ}$, then $\angle APQ$ is:
Option 1: 96°
Option 2: 48°
Option 3: 66°
Option 4: 124°
Correct Answer: 66°
Solution : We have, $\angle PAQ = 48^{\circ}$ $\angle APQ=\angle AQP$ AP = AQ (tangents from the same exterior point are equal). In $\triangle APQ$, $\angle APQ + \angle AQP + \angle PAQ = 180^{\circ}$ ⇒ $2 \angle APQ + 48^{\circ} = 180^{\circ}$ ⇒ $2 \angle APQ
