radius. The workshop was having 20000 mm3 steel. 20000 mm3 steel was melted and 10
balls of 7 mm radius and 20 balls of 3.5 mm radius were made and the remaining steel
was stored for future use.

A farmer has a circular garden as shown in the picture above. He has different
types of trees, plants and flower plants in his garden. In the garden, there are two
mango trees A and B at a distance of AB = 10 m. Similarly, he has two Ashoka
trees at the same distance of 10 m as shown at C and D. AB subtends ∠AOB =
