hour.

⇒

\frac{d}{90}

\frac{1}{2}

. d = 45 km — option (b).2a:T5f2,

दूरी d km मानिए; 30 मिनट =

घंटा।

।

\frac{6 d - 5 d}{90}

\frac{1}{2}

⇒

\frac{d}{90}

\frac{1}{2}

। d = 45 km — विकल्प (b)।2b:T4d5,Surface area to volume

Surface area varies as r², so a 26.56% rise is two successive rises of 12.5%: 12.5 + 12.5 +

\frac{12.5 \times 12.5}{100}

= 26.56 ✓. So the radius itself grows by 12.5%, i.e. the new radius is

\frac{9}{8}

times the old. Volume varies as r³, so it becomes (

\frac{9}{8}

)³ =

\frac{729}{512}

times. Increase =

\frac{217}{512}

× 100 ≈ 42.4% — option (d).2c:T60f,

पृष्ठीय क्षेत्रफल r² के समानुपाती है, अतः 26.56% की वृद्धि 12.5% की दो क्रमिक वृद्धियाँ हैं: 12.5 + 12.5 +

\frac{12.5 \times 12.5}{100}

= 26.56 ✓। अर्थात त्रिज्या स्वयं 12.5% बढ़ी है, यानी नई त्रिज्या पुरानी की

\frac{9}{8}

गुनी। आयतन r³ के समानुपाती है, अतः वह (

\frac{9}{8}

)³ =

\frac{729}{512}

गुना हो जाएगा। वृद्धि =

\frac{217}{512}

× 100 ≈ 42.4% — विकल्प (d)।2d:T476,Quadratic in cosA

Write secA as

\frac{1}{cosA}

and put cosA = c:

\frac{1}{c}

− c = 2. Multiply by c: 1 − c² = 2c ⇒ c² + 2c − 1 = 0. c =

\frac{- 2 \pm \sqrt{4 + 4}}{2}

= −1 ±

\sqrt{2}

. Taking the value that lies within range, cosA = −1 +

\sqrt{2}

— option (a).2e:T4d0,

secA को

\frac{1}{cosA}

लिखिए और cosA = c रखिए:

\frac{1}{c}

− c = 2। c से गुणा कीजिए: 1 − c² = 2c ⇒ c² + 2c − 1 = 0। c =

\frac{- 2 \pm \sqrt{4 + 4}}{2}

= −1 ±

\sqrt{2}

। परिसर में आने वाला मान लेने पर cosA = −1 +

\sqrt{2}

— विकल्प (a)।2f:T41e,Sign by quadrant

sin²θ = 1 − cos²θ = 1 −

\frac{64}{289}

\frac{225}{289}

, so sinθ is

\frac{15}{17}

in size. In the third quadrant only tan and cot are positive — sine and cosine are both negative there. That is why the cosine is given as a negative fraction, and the sine must be negative too. sinθ = −

\frac{15}{17}

— option (a).30:T437,cot²θ

tan(90° − θ) = cotθ, so the expression is cotθ × cotθ = cot²θ. cosθ =

\frac{3}{5}

gives the (3, 4, 5) triplet, so sinθ =

\frac{4}{5}

and cotθ =

\frac{3}{4}

. cot²θ = (

\frac{3}{4}

)². =

\frac{9}{16}

— option (b).31:T48c,

tan(90° − θ) = cotθ, अतः व्यंजक cotθ × cotθ = cot²θ हो जाता है। cosθ =

\frac{3}{5}

से (3, 4, 5) त्रिक मिलता है, अतः sinθ =

\frac{4}{5}

और cotθ =

\frac{3}{4}

। cot²θ = (

\frac{3}{4}

)²। =

Personal discipline is often misunderstood as a rigid set of rules, but in practice it is a flexible system that helps individuals (96) ____ their behaviour toward meaningful objectives. Unlike external enforcement, discipline grows strongest when driven by intrinsic motivation. People who manage their time intentionally often find that even small routines can produce significant change over extended periods. However, many struggle because they view discipline as punishment rather than a strategic tool. This misunderstanding prevents them from recognising its deeper value. True discipline is closely linked to the habit of deliberate reflection, a practice that allows one to assess choices without harsh judgment. Such reflection helps cultivate a sense of (97) ____ poise, especially in moments of uncertainty.
