The maximum area of a rectangle inscribed in the circle $(x + 1)^2 + (y - 3)^2 = 64$ is
- 64 s units
- 72 s units
- 128 s units
- 8 s units
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
The area of a rectangle inscribed in a circle is maximum, when it is a square.
$\Rightarrow(\text { diagonal })^{2}=(\text { side })^{2}+(\text { side })^{2}$
$\Rightarrow$ (diameter) $^{2}=2$ (side) $^{2}$
(because diagonal = diameter)
$\Rightarrow \frac{(16)^{2}}{2}=(\text { side })^{2}$
$\therefore$ Area $=128$ s units

In an experiment to determine the figure of merit of a galvanometer by half deflection method, a student constructed the following circuit. He applied a resistance of \( 520 \, \Omega \) in \( R \). When \( K_1 \) is closed and \( K_2 \) is open, the deflection observed in the galvanometer is 20 div. When \( K_1 \) is also closed and a resistance of \( 90 \, \Omega \) is removed in \( S \), the deflection becomes 13 div. The resistance of galvanometer is nearly:

Approximations
The theory that is part of mathematics is the approximation theory. An approximation is employed when it becomes difficult to seek out the exact value of any number. It is also essential to round off the errors resulting in approximation.
Symbol of Approximation:
In general, the wavy equal “≈” sign is used to represent the approximate values that stand for “almost equal to”.
For Example ⇢ π ≈ 3.14
Approximations of Derivatives:
Consider y = f(x) = any function of x.
Let,
Δx = the small change in x
Δy = the corresponding change in y
Here are some of the essential points that are required to be remembered:
- The differential of the dependent variable can not be equal to the increase of the variable whereas the differential of the independent variable can be equal to the increase of the variable.
- Absolute error in x is the change Δx.
