Answer

1+32\dfrac{1 + \sqrt{3}}{2}

24 days24 \text{ days}

Step-by-step solution

7 steps

Section A, Question 1

  1. Standard value of sin⁡π3\sin\frac{\pi}{3}.

    sin⁡π3=32\sin\frac{\pi}{3} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}
  2. Standard value of cos⁡π3\cos\frac{\pi}{3}.

    cos⁡π3=12\cos\frac{\pi}{3} = \frac{1}{2}
  3. Add the values.

    sin⁡π3+cos⁡π3=32+12=1+32\sin\frac{\pi}{3} + \cos\frac{\pi}{3} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} + \frac{1}{2} = \frac{1 + \sqrt{3}}{2}

    \dfrac{1 + \sqrt{3}}{2}

    Section A, Question 2 (Men work problem)

  4. Total man-days required for the wall.

    30 men ×\times 20 days = 600 man-days.

  5. Days taken by 25 men.

    Days = 60025=24\frac{600}{25} = 24 days.

    24 days

    Section B, Question 1 (Probability of two tails)

  6. Probability of tails on single fair coin toss.

    P(tail)=12P(\text{tail}) = \frac{1}{2}
  7. Step 7
