Section A
In an annual day function of a school, the organizers wanted to give a cash prize along with a memento to their best students. Each memento is made as shown in the figure and its base ABCD is shown from the front side. The rate of silver plating is Rs 20 per cm².
Based on the above, answer the following questions :
(1) What is the area of the quadrant ODCO?
[1 Marks](2) Find the area of ΔAOB.
(3) What is the total cost of silver plating the shaded part ABCD?
(4) What is the length of arc CD?
In a coffee shop, coffee is served in two types of cups. One is cylindrical in shape with diameter 7 cm and height 14 cm, and the other is hemispherical with diameter 21 cm.
Based on the above, answer the following questions :
(1) Find the area of the base of the cylindrical cup.
[1 Marks](2) What is the curved surface area of the cylindrical cup?

Computer-based learning (CBL) refers to any teaching methodology that makes use of computers for information transmission. At an elementary school level, computer applications can be used to display multimedia lesson plans. A survey was done on 1000 elementary and secondary schools of Assam and they were classified by the number of computers they had.
One school is chosen at random. Then :
(1) Find the probability that the school chosen at random has more than 100 computers.
[1 Marks](2) Find the probability that the school chosen at random has 50 or fewer computers.
(3) Find the probability that the school chosen at random has 10 or less than 10 computers.
[1 Marks](4) Find the probability that the school chosen at random has no more than 20 computers.
