Section A
The Olympic symbol comprising five interlocking rings represents the union of the five continents of the world and the meeting of athletes from all over the world at the Olympic games. In order to spread awareness about Olympic games, students of Class-X took part in various activities organised by the school. One such group of students made 5 circular rings
in the school lawn with the help of ropes. Each circular ring required 44 m of rope.
Also, in the shaded regions as shown in the figure, students made rangoli showcasing various sports and games. It is given that ΔOAB is an equilateral triangle and all unshaded regions are congruent.
Based on above information, answer the following questions :
(1) Find the radius of each circular ring.
(2) What is the measure of ∠AOB ?
(3) Find the area of shaded region R₁.
(4) Find the length of rope around the unshaded regions.
Cable cars at hill stations are one of the major tourist attractions. On a hill station, the length of cable car ride from base point to top most point on the hill is 5000 m. Poles are
installed at equal intervals on the way to provide support to the cables on which car moves. The distance of first pole from base point is 200 m and subsequent poles are installed at equal interval of 150 m. Further, the distance of last pole from the top is 300 m.
Based on above information, answer the following questions using Arithmetic Progression :
(1) Find the distance of 10ᵗʰ pole from the base.
(2) Find the distance between 15ᵗʰ pole and 25ᵗʰ pole.
(3) Find the time taken by cable car to reach 15ᵗʰ pole from the top if it is moving at the speed of 5m/sec and coming from top.
(4) Find the total number of poles installed along the entire journey.
A drone was used to facilitate movement of an ambulance on the
straight highway to a point P on the ground where there was an accident. The ambulance was travelling at the speed of 60 km/h. The drone stopped at a point Q, 100 m vertically above the point P. The angle of depression of the ambulance was found to be 30° at a particular instant.
Based on above information, answer the following questions :
(1) Represent the above situation with the help of a diagram.
(2) Find the distance between the ambulance and the site of accident (P)at the particular instant. (Use√3= 1.73)
(3) Find the time (in seconds) in which the angle of depression changes from 30° to 45°.
(4) How long (in seconds) will the ambulance take to reach point P from a point T on the highway such that angle of depression of the ambulance at T is 60° from the drone ?
