θ= l radian r = 11 radian 14
∵ π radian = 180°∴ 1 radian = 180° π = 180 × 11 × 7 = 45° 22 × 14
Correct Option: A
θ= l radian r = 11 radian 14
∵ π radian = 180°∴ 1 radian = 180° π = 180 × 11 × 7 = 45° 22 × 14
- If θ is an acute angle and sin (θ + 18°) = (1 / 2) , then the value of θ in circular measure is :

sin (θ + 18°) = 1 = sin 30° 2
⇒ θ + 18° = 30°
⇒ θ = 30° – 18° = 12°
∵ 180° = π radian∴ 12° = π × 12 180 = π radian 15
Correct Option: B
sin (θ + 18°) = 1 = sin 30° 2
⇒ θ + 18° = 30°
⇒ θ = 30° – 18° = 12°
∵ 180° = π radian∴ 12° = π × 12 180 = π radian 15

For 0 < θ < 90°,
0 < sinθ < 1
sinθ > sin² θ
If θ = 30°,sin θ = sin30° = 1 2 sin²
θ = sin² 30° =1 4 clearly, 1 > 1 2 4
Correct Option: C
For 0 < θ < 90°,
0 < sinθ < 1
sinθ > sin² θ
If θ = 30°,sin θ = sin30° = 1 2 sin²
θ = sin² 30° =1 4 clearly, 1 > 1 2 4

The hour hand of a watch traces an angle of 30° in an hour.
∴ Angle traced at 3 O’clock
= 3 × 30° = 90°
∵ 180° = π radian∴ 90° = π × 90° 180 = π radian 2
Correct Option: D
The hour hand of a watch traces an angle of 30° in an hour.
∴ Angle traced at 3 O’clock
= 3 × 30° = 90°
∵ 180° = π radian∴ 90° = π × 90° 180 = π radian 2

Using Rule 1,
∵ π radian = 180°∴ 22 radian = 180 × 22 9 π 9 ∴ 180 × 22 × 7 = 140° ....(i) 22 9
According to the question,
A + B =140°
and, A – B = 36° ....(ii)
On adding,2A = 176° ⇒ A = 176 = 88° 2
From equation (i),
∴ 88° + B = 140°
⇒ B = 140° – 88° = 52°Correct Option: A
