Calculate the perimeter of a sector of a circle of raduis 12cm and angle 60o.
A
(12 + 4\(\pi\))cm
B
(24 + 4\(\pi\))cm
C
(12 + 6\(\pi\))cm
D
(24 + 6\(\pi\))cm
correct option: b
Perimeter = 2r + \(\frac{0}{360}\) x 2\(\pi\)r
= 2(12) + \(\frac{60}{360}\) x 2 x \(\pi\) x 12
= (24 + 4\(\pi\))cm

\(\begin{array}{c|c}
Marks & 2 & 3 & 4 \\ \hline
Frequency & 4 & 4 & y
\end{array}\)

The table above shows the frequency distribution of marks obtained by a group of students. If the total mark is 48, find the value of y.
A
6
B
8
C
7
D
5
correct option: c
(2 x 4) + (3 x 4) + (4 x y) = 48
8 + 12 + 4y = 48
4y = 48 - 20
\(\frac{4y}{4}\) = \(\frac{28}{4}\)
y = 7
