A
50 units per sec
B
35 units per sec
C
22 units per sec
D

medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option B
Step-by-Step Mathematical Solution
\(s = (4t + 3)(t - 2)\)
\(\frac{\mathrm d s}{\mathrm d t} = (4t + 3)(1) + (t - 2)(4)\)
= \(4t + 3 + 4t - 8\)
= 8t - 5
\(\frac{\mathrm d s}{\mathrm d t} (t = 5 secs) = 8(5) - 5\)
= 40 - 5
= 35 units per sec

Plane Geometry, Polygons & Circle Theorems
Solution
The angles of a polygon are given by 2x, 5x, x and 4x respectively. The value of x is
A
31°
B
30°
C
26°
D
48°
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option B
Step-by-Step Mathematical Solution
Since there are 4 angles given, the polygon is a quadrilateral.
Sum of angle in a quadrilateral = 360^\circ
\(\therefore\) 2x + 5x + x + 4x = 360^\circ
12x = 360^\circ
x = 30^\circ

Actual weight = 0.18g
Error = 0.21g - 0.18g
= 0.03g
% error = \(\frac{0.03}{0.18} \times 100%\)
= 16.7%
