Question : If $0 \leq \theta \leq 90^{\circ}$, and $\sin \left(2 \theta+50^{\circ}\right)=\cos \left(4 \theta+16^{\circ}\right)$, then what is the value of $\theta$ (in degrees)?
Option 1: $10^{\circ}$
Option 2: $8^{\circ}$
Option 3: $4^{\circ}$
Option 4: $12^{\circ}$
Correct Answer: $4^{\circ}$
Solution : Given, $\sin \left(2 \theta+50°\right)=\cos \left(4 \theta+16°\right)$ We know, $\sin(90°-\theta)=\cos\theta$ So, $\sin \left(2 \theta+50°\right)=\sin(90°-(4 \theta+16°)$ ⇒ $2\theta+50°=90°-4\theta-16°$ ⇒ $2\theta+4\theta=90°-16°-50°$ ⇒ $6\theta=24°$ $\therefore\theta=4°$ Hence, the correct answer is $4°$.

Question : If the height of the cylinder is increased by 35% and the radius is increased by 10%, what will be the percentage increase in the curved surface area of a cylinder?
Option 1: 46.5
Option 2: 45
Option 3: 48.5
Option 4: 49.7
Correct Answer: 48.5
Solution : Let, original height = $h$ Original radius = $r$ So, the Curved surface area of the cylinder = $2\pi r h $ After 35% increase, height = $h+h\times \frac{35}{100}=1.35h$ After 10% increase, radius = $r+r\times\frac{10}{100}=1.1r$ So, the new curved surface area of the cylinder =
