Let the radius of the base and height of the right circular cylinder be r units and h units respectively.
Then,
Volume of the cylinder = πr2h cubic units
Curved surface area of the cylinder = 2πrh square units
If volume = curved surface area, then πr2h = 2πrh ⇒ r = 2
Hence, it is possible only when radius of the base is 2 units.

The number of students come by car =\({2\over5}\) of all Number of students come by bus =\({1\over4}\) of all
\(\therefore\) Number of students walk to school
\(=[1-({2\over5}+{1\over4})]\) of all \(=[1-({8+5\over20})]\) of all
\(=[1-{13\over20}]\) of all = \(({20-13\over20})\) of all\(={7\over20}\) of all
Now, number of students walk to school on their own
=\({1\over3}\)of number of students walk to school
=\({1\over3} \ of {1\over7} of \ all\)
Since, 224 students come to school on their own
\(\therefore 224={1\over3}of{7\over20}of \ all \Rightarrow 224={1\over3}\times{7\over20}of \ all \)
So, number of all the students, who study in the school.
\(=224\div{1\over3}\div{7\over20}\\ =224 \times3\times{20\over7}=32\times3\times20\\ = 96\times 20=1920 students\)

(48)2=(50-2)2
Since, (a - b)2 = a2 - 2ab + b2
(50-2)2=(50)2-2x50x2+(2)2
= 2500 - 200 + 4
[(a-b)2=a2-2ab+b2]
= 2504 - 200 = 2304
(ii) 1812 -192 =(181-19)(181 + 19)
where, a = 50 and b = 2
= 162 x 200 = 32400
(iii) 497 x 505 =(500 - 3)(500 + 5)
= 5002 + (-3 + 5) x 500 + (-3)(5)
[.: (x + a)(x + b) = x2 + (a +b) x + ab]
= 250000 + 1000 -15 = 250985
(iv) 2.07 x1.93 = (2 + 0.07)(2 - 0.07)

Let AC and BD be two sticks, each of the length 7 cm. On joining their end points A, B, C and D, we will get a shape of a rhombus.
[since, in a rhombus diagonals bisect each other all right angles.]
Now, we will see whether it is a square or not.
Let O is the intersection point of AC and BD.
Now, we see that AO = BO = CO = DO
Since, both AC and BD are of equal length and are bisected by O.
Further, in ΔABO, we see that
ㄥAOB= 90°
and AO =OB
which implies that ㄥOAB = ㄥOBA = x [say]
∴ 90° + x + x = 180°
[angle sum property of a triangle]
⇒ 2x = 90° ⇒ x = 45°
Similarly, we see that ㄥOBC, ㄥOCB, ... etc are 45°.
So, finally we can say that the shape, so obtained will be of a square.

It is clear, from the figure that polygon MNOPQR is divided into six parts, out of which four are triangles and two are trapeziums.
Area of polygon MNOPQR =Area of ΔMAN +Area of trapezium ACON + Area of ΔOCP + Area of ΔPDQ+ Area of trapezium DBRQ +Area of ΔRBM ...(i)
Now, area of ΔMAN = MA AN =\(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \times \) 2 \(\times\)2.5
= 2.5 cm2
Area of trapezium ACON = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\)(AN+OC) \(\times\)AC
= \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\)(AN+OC) \(\times\) (MC-MA) [∵ AC=MC-MA]
=\(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \times \) (2.5+3) \(\times\)(6-2) =\(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \times \) 5.5 \(\times\)4
=5.5 \(\times\)2 = 11cm2
Area of ΔOCP =\(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \times \) CP\(\times\)OC
=\(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) (MP-MC)\(\times\) OC
= \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\)(9-6)\(\times\) 3 =\(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \times \) 3 \(\times\)3 [∵ CP=MP-MC]
= \(\frac { 9 }{ 2 } \)=4.5 cm2
Area of ΔPDQ =\(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \times \) PD\(\times\) DQ
= \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \times \)(MP-MD)\(\times\) DQ
=\(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \times \) (9-7)\(\times\) 2 =2cm2
Area of trapezium DBRQ =\(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \times \) (DQ+BR)\(\times\)BD
=\(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \times \) (DQ+BR)\(\times\) (MD-MB) [∵ BD =MD-MB]
=\(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \times \) (2+2.5)\(\times\) (7-4)
=\(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \times \) 4.5 \(\times\)3 =\(\frac { 13.5 }{ 2 } \)= 6.75 cm2
Area of ΔRBM =\(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \times \) MB\(\times\) BR =\(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \times \) 4\(\times\) 2.5 =5cm2
On putting all these values in Eq. (i), we get
Area of polygon MNOPQR
=(2.5+11 +4.5+ 2 +6.75 + 5)cm2
= 31.75 cm2
Hence, area of polygon MNOPQR is 31.75 cm2

Here, to represent the given information, we draw the bar graph. So, draw two perpendicular axes OX and OY. Take months on OX and number of watches sold on OY. Choose a suitable scale for OX and OY and drawbars of equal width with equal gaps in between.

Here, ab = 21 and a + b = -10
Possible values of a and b are 7, 3 or -7, -3.
But 7 +3 = 10 \(\neq \) - 10 [not possible]
\(\therefore\) a= -7, b = -3
Now q2 - 10q + 21 = q2 +(-7-3)q + 21
= q2 - 7q - 3q + 21
=q (q -7)-3(9 - 7) = (q-7)(q -3)
Hence, required factors of given expression are(q - 7) and (q -3).

According to the question, the side along the river is parallel to and twice the side along the road.
Let the length of side along the road be x m
Then, the length of side along the river = 2x m
Given, perpendicular distance between the two parallel sides =100 m
and area of the trapezium shaped field = 10500 m2
⇒\(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \times \) (Sum of parallel sides) Heigth = 10500
⇒\(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \times \) (2x+2) 100= 10500 ⇒ 3\(\times\) 50 =10500
⇒ 3x = \(\frac { 10500 }{ 50 } =\frac { 1050 }{ 5 } \)
∴ x =\(\frac { 1050 }{ 3\times 5 } \) = 70 and 2x = 2 0 =140
Hence, the length of the side along the river is 140 m.
