Question : A sector is formed by opening out a cone with a base radius of 8 cm and height of 6 cm. Then the radius of the sector is (in cm):
Option 1: 4
Option 2: 8
Option 3: 10
Option 4: 6
Correct Answer: 10
Solution : The slant height of the cone = $\sqrt{8^2 + 6^2}$ = $\sqrt{64+36}$ = $\sqrt{100}$ = 10 cm The slant height of the cone = radius of sector = 10 cm Hence, the correct answer is 10.

Question : If $\sin \theta+\cos \theta=\sqrt{2} \cos \theta$, then find $\frac{\sin \theta-\cos \theta}{\sin \theta}$:
Option 1: $-\sqrt{2}$
Option 2: $-1$
Option 3: $1$
Option 4: $\sqrt{2}$
Correct Answer: $-\sqrt{2}$
Solution : Given, $\sin \theta+\cos \theta=\sqrt{2} \cos \theta$ Squaring both sides, we get $\sin^2θ+\cos^2θ+2\sinθ\cosθ=2\cos^2θ$ ⇒ $\sin^2θ−\cos^2θ+2\sinθ\cosθ=0$ Subtracting $2\sin^2θ$ both sides, we have ⇒ $−\sin^2θ−\cos^2θ+2\sinθ\cosθ=−2\sin^2θ$ ⇒ $\sin^2θ+\cos^2θ−2\sinθ\cosθ=2\sin^2θ$ ⇒ $(\cosθ−\sinθ)^2=2\sin^2θ$ ⇒ $\cosθ−\sinθ=\sqrt2\sinθ$ ⇒ $\sinθ-\cosθ=-\sqrt2\sinθ$ ⇒ $\frac{\sin \theta-\cos \theta}{\sin \theta}=\frac{-\sqrt2\sinθ}{\sinθ}$ $=-\sqrt2$ Hence, the correct answer is $-\sqrt2$

Question : Directions: A mother said to her son, When you were born I was the same age as you are now. If 5 years ago, the age of the son was 16 years, find the present age of the mother.
Option 1: 42 years
Option 2: 32 years
Option 3: 38 years
Option 4: 37 years
Correct Answer: 42 years
Solution : Given: 5 years ago son's age = 16 years Son's present age = 16 + 5 = 21 years Now according to the question – Age of mother when the son was born (21 years ago) = Present age of the son 21 years
