\(l=\frac { \theta \pi r }{ { 180 }^{ ° } } \Rightarrow 6\pi =\frac { \theta \times \pi \times 6 }{ { 180 }^{ ° } } \Rightarrow \theta ={ 180 }^{ ° }\)
12.
Distance between the points P(x,2) and Q(3,-6) is 10.Using distance formula PQ=10
\(\Rightarrow \quad \sqrt { { ({ x }-3) }^{ 2 }-{ \{ 2-(-6) }^{ 2 }\} } =10\)
\(\Rightarrow \quad \sqrt { { x }^{ 2 }+{ 3 }^{ 2 }-2\times 3\times x+\left( 2+6 \right) ^{ 2 } } =10\)
\(\Rightarrow \quad \sqrt { { x }^{ 2 }+9-6x+{ 8 }^{ 2 } } =10\)
\(\Rightarrow \quad \sqrt { { x }^{ 2 }+9-6x+64 } =10\)
\(\Rightarrow \quad \sqrt { { x }^{ 2 }-6x+73 } =\quad 10\)
Squaring both sides, we get
\(\quad { x }^{ 2 }-6x+73=100\)
\(\Rightarrow \quad { x }^{ 2 }-6x+73-100=0\)
\(\\ \Rightarrow \quad { x }^{ 2 }-6x-27=0\)
\(\\ \Rightarrow \quad { x }^{ 2 }-9x+3x-27=0\)
\(\Rightarrow x(x-9)+3(x-9)=0\)
\(\Rightarrow \quad (x-9)(x+3)=0\)
\(\Rightarrow \quad either\quad x-9=0\quad or\quad x+3=0\)
\(\Rightarrow \quad x=9\quad or\quad x=-3\)
gnoring x = —3 as it is given that x is a positive Integer.
Thus, only solution is x = 9.

Let number of camels be x
ATQ \(\frac { 1x }{ 4 } +2\sqrt { x } +15=x\)
\(\Rightarrow \frac { x+8\sqrt { x } +60 }{ 4 } =x\)
\(\Rightarrow x+8\sqrt { x } +60=4x\)
\(\Rightarrow 3x-8\sqrt { x } -60=0\)
Let \(\sqrt { x } =1\)
\(\therefore 3t^{ 2 }-8t-60=0\)
\(\Rightarrow 3t^{ 2 }-18t+10t-60=0\)
\(\Rightarrow 3t(t-6)+10(t-6)=0\)
(3t+10)=0 or (t-6)=0
\(\Rightarrow t=\frac { -10 }{ 3 } \) or t=6
Rejecting t = \(\frac { -10 }{ 3 } \Rightarrow t=6\)
\(\Rightarrow \sqrt { x } =6\Rightarrow x=36\)
14.
Let the two APs be a1,a2,a3,.....,an ... and b1, b2, b3, ...., bn.....
Also, let d be the same common difterence of two AP's. Then, the nth term of first AP is
an = a1 + (n - 1)d
and the nth term of second AP is
bn = b1 + (n - 1) d
Now, an - bn = [a1 + (n - 1)d] - [b1 + (n - 1) d]
\(\Rightarrow\) an - bn = a1 - b1, \(\forall\) n \(\in\)N
\(\therefore\) a100 - b100 = a1 - b1 = 100 [given]
So, a1000 - b1000 = a1 - b1
\(\Rightarrow\) a1000 - b1000 = 100 [\(\because\) a1 - b1 = 100]
Hence, the difference between their 1000 th terms is also 100 for all n \(\in\) N.

Since the points are collinear
The area of triangle = 0
Area of triangle \(=\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \left[ { { x }_{ 1 }\left( { y }_{ 2 }-{ y }_{ 3 } \right) +{ x }_{ 2 }\left( { y }_{ 3 }-{ y }_{ 1 } \right) +{ x }_{ 3 }\left( { y }_{ 1 }-{ y }_{ 2 } \right) } \right] \)
\(\Rightarrow \ \frac { 1 }{ 2 }[5(4-y)+(-3)(y-2)+x(2-4)]=0\)
\(\Rightarrow \ \frac { 1 }{ 2 }[20-5y-3y+6+(-2x)]=0\)
\(\Rightarrow \ \frac { 1 }{ 2 }[-2x-8y+26]=0\)
\(\Rightarrow \ x+4y-13=0\)

Let O be the centre and P be the mid-point of BC.Then, OP丄BC.

Since, ∆ABC is an isosceles triangle and P is the mid-point of BC. Therefore, AP .L BC as median from the vertex in an isosceles triangle is perpendicular to the base.
Let AP = x
and PB = CP = y
In ΔAPB and ΔOPB,
AB2 = BP2 + AP2
36 = y2 + x2
and OB2=OP2+BP2
81= (9- x)2 + y2
On subtracting Eqq.(i) from Eq.(ii) we get
81- 36 = [(9 - x)2 + y2]- (y2 + x2)
45 =81-18x+x2+y2 -y2 -x2
45=81-18x
18x=81-45
18x = 36
\(x={36\over 18}\)
x=2cm
On putting x = 2 in Eq.(i), we get
36=y2+4
y2=32
\(y=4\sqrt{2}cm\)
BC=2BP
=2y=\(8\sqrt{2}cm\)
Now, area of ∆ABC=\({1\over2}\times BC\times AP\)
\(={1\over2}\times8\sqrt{2}\times2\)
\(=8\sqrt{2}cm^2\)
Hence, the area of ∆ABC is \(=8\sqrt{2}cm^2\)

Here, Sq = 63q - 3q2 ....(i)
Also, Sq-1 = 63 ( q - 1 ) - 3 ( q - 1 )2
= 63q - 63 - 3 ( q2 + 1 - 2q )
\(\Rightarrow\) 500 + 100d + 50 + 50 - d = 500 - 100d + 50 + 5 + d - 594
\(\Rightarrow\) 198d = - 594
\(\Rightarrow\) d = - 3
Thus, the three digits are 5 - ( - 3 ), 5 and 5 - 3, (i.e., 8, 5 and 2 )
Hence, the required number is 852.

As, \(\sqrt { 3 } \sin { \theta } =\cos { \theta } \Rightarrow \tan { \theta } =\frac { 1 }{ \sqrt { 3 } } \)
\(\therefore \frac { \sin { \theta } \tan { \theta } (1+\cot { \theta } ) }{ \sin { \theta } +\cos { \theta } } =\frac { \tan { \theta } \tan { \theta } (1+\cot { \theta } ) }{ \tan { \theta } +1 } \)
