The volume of a hemispherical bowl is \(718\frac{2}{3}\). Find its radius .

A.

4.0 cm

B.

5.6 cm

C.

7.0 cm

D.

3.8 cm

Correct answer is C

Volume of bowl \(\frac{2}{3}\pi r^2\\
718\frac{2}{3}=\frac{2}{3}\pi r^2\\
\frac{2156}{3}=\frac{2}{3} \times \frac{22}{7} \times r^3
∴r^3 = \frac{2156 \times 3 \times 7}{3 \times 2 \times 22}\\
r^3 = 343\\
r = \sqrt[3]{343}\\
r= 7.0cm\)

If the lines 3y = 4x - 1 and qy = x + 3 are parallel to each other, the value of q is

A.

-4/3

B.

-3/4

C.

4/3

D.

3/4

Correct answer is D

If the line 3y = 4x – 1 is parallel t[ line qy = x + 3
Implies gradient of 3y = 4x – 1
Y = 4/3x - 1/3
∴Gradient = 4/3
Gradient of line qy = x + 3
Y = 1/qx + 3/q
∴ Gradient = 1/q
4/3 = 1/q
4q = 3
Q = 3/4

Calculate the length of an arc of a circle diameter 14 cm, which substends an angle of 90o at the center of the circle

A.

7π/2 cm

B.

7π cm

C.

14π cm

D.

7π/4 cm

Correct answer is A

Length of an arc = θ/360 x 2πr
90/360 x 2 x π x 7
= /2

If X = {all the perfect squares less than 40}
Y = {all the odd numbers fro, 1 to 15}. Find X ∩ Y.

A.

{3, 9}

B.

{9}

C.

{9, 25}

D.

{1, 9}

Correct answer is D

All the perfect squares < 40
X = {1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36}
All the odd numbers from 1 to 15
Y = {1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15}
X ∩ Y = {1, 9}
