Let J be the set of positive integers, If H = {x: x∈J, x\(^2\) < 3 and x ≠ 0}, then

A.

H = {1}

B.

H is an infinite set

C.

H = {0, 1, 2}

D.

H = {}

E.

J ≤ H

Correct answer is A

H = {x: x is a positive integer, x\(^2\) < 3 and x \(\neq\) 0}

H = {1}

Find the sum of the first five terms of the G.P 2,6, 18 ....

A.

484

B.

243

C.

242

D.

130

E.

121

Correct answer is C

\(S_{n} = \frac{a(r^n - 1)}{r - 1}\)

a = 2; r = 6/2 = 3.

\(S_{5} = \frac{2(3^5 - 1)}{3 - 1}\)

= \(243 - 1 = 242\)

An arc of length 22cm subtends an angle of θ at the center of the circle. What is the value of θ if the radius of the circle is 15cm?[Take π = 22/7]

A.

70o

B.

84o

C.

96o

D.

156o

E.

168o

Correct answer is B

\(2\pi r = 2 \times 3.142 \times 15 = 94.28cm\)

\(94.28cm = 360°\)

\(1cm = \frac{360°}{94.28}\)

\(\therefore 22cm = \frac{360°}{94.28} \times 22\)

= 84°
