A solid piece of metal in the form of a cuboid of dimensions $\displaystyle 11$ cm × $\displaystyle 7$ cm × $\displaystyle 7$ cm is melted to form 'n' number of solid spheres of radii $\displaystyle \frac{7}{2} \mathrm{~cm}$ each. Find the value of n.
Marking-scheme solution
\[\begin{array}{l}
n \times \frac{4}{3} \times \frac{22}{7} \times\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)=11 \times(7)^{2} \\
\Rightarrow n=3
\end{array}
\]In Fig. $\displaystyle 1$, AB is diameter of a circle centered at $\displaystyle \mathrm{O} . \mathrm{BC}$ is tangent to the circle at B . If OP bisects the chord AD and $\displaystyle \angle \mathrm{AOP}=60^{\circ}$, then find $\displaystyle \mathrm{m} \angle \mathrm{C}$.Fig. $\displaystyle 1$
\[\begin{array}{c}
\because A P=P D \Rightarrow O P \perp A D \\
\therefore \angle O A P=30^{\circ}
\end{array}
\]Also $\displaystyle \angle A B C=90^{\circ}$
\[\Rightarrow \angle C=60^{\circ}
\]OrIn Fig. $\displaystyle 2$, XAY is a tangent to the circle centered at O . If $\displaystyle \angle \mathrm{ABO}=40^{\circ}$, then find $\displaystyle \mathrm{m} \angle \mathrm{BAY}$ and $\displaystyle \mathrm{m} \angle \mathrm{AOB}$.Fig. $\displaystyle 2$
\[\begin{array}{l}
O A=O B \Rightarrow \angle O A B=40^{\circ} \\
O A \perp A Y \Rightarrow \angle B A Y=50^{\circ} \\
\angle A O B=180^{\circ}-80^{\circ}=100^{\circ}
\end{array}
