                        View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum θ= l radian r = 11 radian 14 
 ∵ π radian = 180°∴ 1 radian = 180° π  = 180 × 11 × 7 = 45° 22 × 14 
 Correct Option: Aθ= 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 :
- 
                        View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum 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: Bsin (θ + 18°) = 1 = sin 30° 2 
 ⇒ θ + 18° = 30°
 ⇒ θ = 30° – 18° = 12°
 ∵ 180° = π radian∴ 12° = π × 12 180 = π radian 15 
 
-  Which of the following relations is correct for 0 < θ < 90° ?
- 
                        View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum 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: CFor 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 circular measure of the included angle formed by the hour hand and minute hand of a clock at 3 p.m. will be
- 
                        View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum 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: DThe 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 
 
-  If the sum and difference of two angles are (22 / 9) radian and 36° respectively, then the value of smaller angle in degree taking the value of π as (22 / 7) is :

                        View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum 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: AUsing Rule 1,
