Q.37 As shown In the village of Surya there was a big

pole PC. This pole was tied with a strong supporting
wire of 10 m length. Once there was a big spark on
this pole, thus wires got damaged very badly. Any P
small fault was usually repaired with the help of a
rope which normal board electricians were carrying
on bicycles.
This time electricians need a staircase of 10 m so
that it can reach at point P on the pole and this
should make 60° with the line AC and AC=BC.

Find value of ∠ y.

Q.38 Once four friends Rahul, Arun, Sanjay and Vijay went for a picnic at a
hill station. Due to peak season, they did not get a proper hotel in the city.
The weather was fine so they decided to make a conical tent at a park.
They were carrying 300 m² cloth with them. As shown in the figure they
made the tent with height 10 m and diameter 14 m. The remaining cloth
was used for the floor.
a. What was the slant height of the tent? 1
b. What was the area of the floor? 1
c. What was the volume of the tent? 2
OR
