Question : If $\tan \theta=\frac{4}{3}$, then the value of $\frac{3\sin \theta+ 2\cos \theta}{3\sin \theta – 2 \cos \theta}$ is:
Option 1: $\frac{1}{2}$
Option 2: $1\frac{1}{2}$
Option 3: $3$
Option 4: $–3$
Correct Answer: $3$
Solution : $\frac{3\sin\theta+2\cos\theta}{3\sin\theta–2\cos\theta}$ Divide both sides by $\cos\theta$, = $\frac{\frac{3\sin\theta}{\cos\theta}+2}{\frac{3\sin\theta}{\cos\theta}–2}$ = $\frac{3\tan\theta+2}{3\tan\theta–2}$ = $\frac{3×\frac{4}{3}+2}{3×\frac{4}{3}-2}$ = $\frac{6}{2}$ = 3 Hence, the correct answer is $3$.
Question : The area of the sector of a circle (in cm2) of radius 7 cm and central angle $60^{\circ}$ is: $\left(\right.$Take $\left.\pi=\frac{22}{7}\right)$
Option 1: $\frac{77}{2}$
Option 2: $77$
Option 3: $\frac{77}{3}$
Option 4: $\frac{77}{4}$
Correct Answer: $\frac{77}{3}$
Solution : Area of the sector of a circle = $\frac{\theta}{360^{\circ}}\times \pi r^2$ $ = \frac{60}{360}\times \frac{22}{7}\times 7\times 7$ $ = \frac{1}{6}\times 22\times 7$ $ = \frac{77}{3}$ cm2 Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{77}{3}$.
