A number is selected at random from the set Y = {18, 19, 20, . . . 28, 29}. Find the probability that the number is prime.

A.

\(\frac{1}{4}\)

B.

\(\frac{3}{11}\)

C.

\(\frac{1}{2}\)

D.

\(\frac{3}{4}\)

Correct answer is A

Y = {18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29}

Number of prime numbers = 3

Prob(picking  a prime number) = \(\frac{3}{12}\)

= \(\frac{1}{4}\)

The base diameter of a cone is 14cm, and its volume is 462 cm3. Find its height. [Taken \(\pi = \frac{22}{7}\)]

A.

3.5cm

B.

5cm

C.

7cm

D.

9cm

Correct answer is D

From \(V = \frac{1}{3}\pi r^2 h. \hspace{1mm} r =\frac{14}{2}\\
462 = \frac{1}{3} \times \frac{22}{7} \times 7^2 \times h \\
h = \frac{3 \times 462}{22 \times 7}\\ h = 9\)
