    θ=
    l
    radian
    r

    =
    11
    radian
    14

    ∵ π radian = 180°
    ∴ 1 radian =
    180°
    π


    =
    180 × 11 × 7
    = 45°
    22 × 14

    Correct Option: A

    θ=

    radian
    r

    =
    11
    radian
    14

    ∵ π radian = 180°

  1. 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

    For 0 < θ < 90°,
    0 < sinθ < 1
    sinθ > sin² θ
    If θ = 30°,

    sin θ = sin30° =
    1
    2

    sin²
    θ = sin² 30° =
    1

    Correct Option: C

    For 0 < θ < 90°,
    0 < sinθ < 1
    sinθ > sin² θ
    If θ = 30°,

    sin θ = sin30° =
    1

    sin²
    θ = sin² 30° =

    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

    Using Rule 1,
    ∵ π radian = 180°

    22
    radian =
    180

    22

    9π9

    180

    22 × 7
    = 140° ....(i)
    229

    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

    Using Rule 1,
    ∵ π radian = 180°
