Radius of well = 5 m
Depth of well = 14 m
Volume of earth taken out \(=\pi r^{2} h \)
\(=\frac{22}{7} \times(5)^{2} \times 14 \)
= 1100 m3
Now, it is spread to form an embankment, which is in the form of hollow cylinder
Inner radius = 5m
Width of embankment = 5 m
Outer radius = 5 + 5 = 10 m
height = h
Volume of hollow cylinder = \(\pi h\left(\mathrm{R}^{2}-\mathrm{r}^{2}\right)\)
\(\therefore \pi h\left(\mathrm{R}^{2}-\mathrm{r}^{2}\right)=1100 \)
\(\frac{22}{7} \times h\left(10^{2}-5^{2}\right)=1100 \)

Substituting the points we get, \(\frac { y+3 }{ -4+3 } =\frac { x-5 }{ 7-5 } \)
gives 2y + 6 = − x + 5
Therefore, x + 2y + 1 = 0

Now, slope of a line joining A (5, 1) and P (- 1, 3)
\(\mathrm{m}=\frac{y_{1}-y_{2}}{x_{1}-x}=\frac{1-3}{5+1}=\frac{-2}{6}=-\frac{1}{3}\)
Slope of a perpendicular to the line joining A and P

In \(\triangle\)PST and \(\triangle\)PQR,
\(\frac { PS }{ PQ } =\frac { 2 }{ 2+1 } =\frac { 2 }{ 3 } ,\frac { PT }{ PR } =\frac { 4 }{ 4+2 } =\frac { 2 }{ 3 } \)
Thus, \(\frac { PS }{ PQ } =\frac { PT }{ PR } \) and \(\angle\)P is common
Therefore, by SAS similarity,
\(\triangle\) PST~\(\triangle\)PQR

We are given that sin 3A = cos (A - 26°) ...(1)
Since sin 3A = cos(90° - 3A) we can write (1) as
cos (90° - 3A) = cos (A - 26°)
Since 90° - 3A and A - 26° are both acute angles
90° - 3A = A - 26°
which gives A = 29°

Seven years ago, let Swathi's age be x years .
Seven years ago, let Varun's age was 5x2 years.
Swathi's present age = x + 7 years
Varun's present age = (5x2 + 7) years
3 years hence, we have
Swathi's age = x + 7 + 3 years
=x + 10 years
Varun's age = 5x2 + 7 + 3 years
= 5x2 + 10 years
It is given that 3 years hence Swathi's age will
be \(\frac{2}{5}\) of Varun's age.
∴ x+10=\(\frac{2}{5}\)(5x2+10)
⇒ x+10=2x2+4
⇒ 2x2-x-6=0
⇒ 2x(x-2)+3(x-2)=0
⇒(2x+3)(x-2)=0
⇒ x-2=0
⇒ x=2(∵2x+3≠0 as x>0)
Hence Swathi's present age = (2 + 7) years
= 9 years
Varun's present age = (5 x 22 + 7) years
= 27 years

Total number of possible outcomes n(S) = 5 + 4 = 9
(i) Let A be the event of getting a blue ball.
Number of favourable outcomes for the event A. Therefore, n(A) = 5
Probability that the ball drawn is blue. Therefore, P(A) = \(\frac { n(A) }{ n(S) } =\frac { 5 }{ 9 } \)
(ii) \(\bar { A } \) will be the event of not getting a blue ball. So P(\(\bar { A } \)) = 1 - P(A) = \(1-\frac { 5 }{ 9 } =\frac { 4 }{ 9 } \).
