Trading in dematerialized shares commenced on the NSE in December 1996.

Reliance Industries was the first company to trade its shares in Demat form.

For opening a demat account, we submit proof of identity and address along with a passport size photo and the account opening form.

Documents for Identity: Pan card, Voters ID, Passport, Driver’s License, IT Returns, Electricity and Telephone Bills are the Identity documents.

Documents for Address: Ration card, Passport, Voter’s ID card, Driving License, Telephone Bills, Electricity bills are the address documents.

PAN, or permanent account number, is a unique 10- digit alphanumeric identity allotted to each taxpayer by the Income Tax Department. It also serves as an identity proof.

Functions performed by SEBI in this case:

1. The market price of their share were informed and controlled by SEBI.

The manager was a grave, calm man.

On attempting to transact business there, I become an irresponsible idiot.

Answer is (d) honest

Yes, I do. I think I should get over this nervousness and learn to be calm and confident. I am trying hard to do so, because I know that this is what is needed in the world today.

Imperative sentence

1. The manager was very rude to the narrator in the beginning – False

2. The narrator was one of Pinkerton’s men – False

3. The narrator was not a detective – True

4. The narrator was a young Gould – False

The accountant’s name was Mr Montgomery. He was asked to deal with the narrator’s business.

After the episode at the bank, the author has decided that he will not keep his money ¡n a bank any more. He will keep his money in cash in his trouser pocket and his savings in silver dollars in a sock.

When the narrator said that he wanted to speak to the manager alone, the manager was alarmed because he thought that the narrator was a detective who had come to find out something. When the narrator said that he was not a detective but had come to open an account, the manager thought that he was a very rich man who would deposit a huge amount of money in the bank.

But when the narrator mentioned he wanted to deposit the princely sum of fifty-six dollars, the manager got angry and spoke coldly to him for having wasted his precious time.

The author wrote a cheque for fifty-six dollars instead of six dollars. This was the error.

Correct option is (D) 2πxy

Curved surface area of cylinder \(=2\pi rh\)

\(=2\pi xy\,cm^2\)   \((\because\) r = x cm & h = y cm)

Correct option is  D) 2πxy

Diameter of the spherical ball d’ = 21 cm 

Thus, its radius r = d/2 = 21/2 = 10/5 cm

Surface area of one ball = 4πr²

= 4 × 22/7 x 10.5 x 10.5

= 88 × 1.5 × 10.5 = 1386 cm²

∴ Leather required for 5 such balls

= 5 × 1386 = 6930 cm²

Correct option is (D) 7

Let radius of cylinder be r cm.

\(\therefore\) Circumference of base of cylinder = Length of rectangle

\(\therefore\) \(2\pi r=44\)

\(\Rightarrow\) \(r=\frac{44}{2\pi}=\frac{44\times7}{2\times22}\) = 7

\(\therefore\) Radius of the cylinder is 7 cm.

Correct option is  D) 7

If a sphere is inscribed in a cube, then length of the edge of the cube is equal to diameter of sphere.

So, let length of the edge of the cube = 2r

Then, diameter of the sphere = 2r

⇒ radius of the sphere = 2r/2 = r

Volume of the cube is given by,

Volume of the cube = (length of the edge)³

= (2r)³ = 8r³ …(i)

Volume of the sphere is given by,

Volume of the sphere = 4/3 π(radius)³

= 4/3 πr³ …(ii)

Using equations (i) & (ii),

Volume of the cube : Volume of the sphere = 8r³ : 4/3 πr³

= 8 : 4/3 π

= 2 : 1/3 π

Taking L.C.M (1,3) = 3. Multiply 3 by numerator of each term,

Volume of the cube : Volume of the sphere = 6 : 3/3 π

= 6 : π

Hence, it is true.

Surface area = 4πr²

C.S.A = 4 × 22/7 × 7 × 7

= 616cm²

r = 3 cm

V = 4/3 πr³ = 4/3 x 22/7 × 3 × 3 × 3

= 113.14cm³

Let radius of cylinder = r

Let height of cylinder = h

Then, volume of cylinder is given by

V = πr²h …(i)

According to the question, now

Radius of the cylinder = 2r

Height of the cylinder = h/2

Then, volume of cylinder is given by

V’ = π(2r)²(h/2) = 4πr²(h/2) = 2πr²h = 2 (πr²h) = 2V

⇒ V’ = 2V

Thus, volume will be doubled if the radius of a cylinder is doubled and height is halved.

Hence, it is true.

Surface area of the sphere = 4π × 5 × 5 cm² .

Curved surface area of the cone = π × 4 × l cm²,

where l is the slant height of the cone. 

According to the statement 

4π × 5 × 5 = 5 × π × 4 × l 

or l = 5 cm. 

Now, l² = h² + r² 

Therefore, (5)² = h² + (4)² 

where h is the height of the cone 

or (5)² – (4)² = h² 

or (5 + 4) (5 – 4) = h² 

or 9 = h² 

or h = 3 cm 

Volume of Cone = 1/3 πr² h 

= 1/3 x 22/7 x 4 x 4 x 3 cm³

= (22 x 16)/7 cm³

= 352/7 cm³

= 50.29 cm³

Radius (r) = diameter/2 = 5/2 = 2.5 cm

Length of the pipe = height = 14 m 

Radiating surface = 2πrh

= 2 × 22/7 x 2.5 x 1400

= 22000 cm³

 Geothermal, solar, biomass, water, wind are the non-conventional sources of energy,

Kinetic energy, wind mill.

1. Solar Cell 

2. Solar Cooker 

3. Solar Water Heater

Correct option is (C) Rs. 160

Volume of the wall \(=8\times4\times0.20\,m^3=6.4\,m^3\)

\(\therefore\) Cost of construction of wall \(=Rs\,6.4\times25\)

= Rs 160

Correct option is  C) Rs. 160

(i) The two parallel lines a & b are cut by a transversal then ∠1 = ∠5 because they are corresponding angles. So they have equal measure.

(ii) If ∠4 and ∠6 are equal measures they are interior alternate angles. So. a is parallel to b.

(iii) Here two parallel lines are cut by transversal, ∠4 and ∠5 are pairs of interior angles on the same side of the transversal are supplementary.

(i) There are 4 pairs of corresponding angles,

(a) ∠1 and ∠5

(b) ∠2 and ∠6

(c) ∠4 and ∠8

(d) ∠3 and ∠7

(ii) There are 2 pairs of alternate interior angles.

They are

a) ∠3 and ∠5

b) ∠2 and ∠8

(iii) There are 2 pairs interior angles on the same side of the transversal, they are

(a) ∠3 and ∠8

(b) ∠2 and ∠5

(iv) There are 4 pairs of vertically opposite angles.

They are

(a) ∠1 and ∠3

(b) ∠2 and ∠4

(c) ∠5 and ∠7

(d) ∠6 and ∠8.

(i) Obtuse vertically opposite angles

∠AOD and ∠BOC

(ii) Adjacent complementary angles

∠BOA and ∠AOE

(iii) Equal supplementary angles

(∠BOE and ∠EOD

(iv) Unequal supplementary angles

∠AOE and ∠EOC

(v) Adjacent angles that do not form a liner pair

∠AOB and ∠AOE, ∠AOE and ∠EOD and ∠EOD and ∠COD

Consider the required angle as x° and 90° – x°

According to the question it can be written as

x°/ 90° – x° = 4/5

By cross multiplication we get

5x = 4 (90 – x)

5x = 360 – 4x

On further calculation we get

5x + 4x = 360

9x = 360

By division

x = 360/9

So we get

x = 40

Therefore, the angles are 40° and 90° – x° = 90° – 40° = 50°

(a) 100

Because,

Let the measure of its supplement be 4x and 5y.

Then,

= x + (4/5)x = 180^o

= (5x + 4x)/5 = 180

= 9x = 180 × 5

= 9x = 900

= x = 900/9

= x = 100

It is given that (2x – 5)° and (x – 10)° are the complementary angles.

So we can write it as

(2x – 5)° + (x – 10)° = 90°

2x – 5° + x – 10° = 90°

On further calculation

3x – 15° = 90°

So we get

3x = 105°

By division

x = 105/3

x = 35°

Therefore, the value of x for which the angles (2x – 5)° and (x – 10)° are the complementary angles is 35°.
