Important Questions on Geometric Measurement and Dimension

EASY

A circular sheet of paper is divided into two sectors. The central angle of one of them is 160°. These sectors are bent into cones of maximum volume. If the radius of the small cone is 8 cm, what is the radius of the other in cm?

HARD

Let AB be a sector of a circle with centre O and radius d.AOB=θ<π2 and D be a point on OA such that BD is perpendicular OA. Let E be the mid-point of BD and F be a point on the arc AB such that EF is parallel to OA. Then, the ratio of length of the arc AF to the length of the arc AB is
