    Rahul is a lucky charm for his cricket team. He has a jar of cards with numbers from 10 to 74. Before each match, he draws a card from the jar. If the card bears an even number, the team wins. If the number is even and divisible by 5, they win by a big margin. If the number is an odd number less than 30, they win by a small margin. And if the number is a prime number between 50 and 74, they lose. Answer the following questions if Rahul draws a card today :
    37 (i)
    What is the probability that Rahul draws a card with an even number ?
    37 (ii)
    What is the probability that Rahul draws a card with an odd number less than 30 ?
    37 (iii) (a)
    What is the probability that Rahul draws a card with a prime number between 50 and 74 ?

    Amrita stood near the base of a lighthouse, gazing up at its towering height. She measured the angle of elevation to the top and found it to be 60∘60^\circ. Then, she climbed a nearby observation deck, 40 metres higher than her original position and noticed the angle of elevation to the top of lighthouse to be 45∘45^\circ. Based on the above given information, answer the following questions :
    38 (i)
    If CD is h metres, find the distance BD in terms of ‘h’.
    38 (ii)
    Find distance BC in terms of ‘h’.
    38 (iii) (a)
    Find the height CE of the lighthouse [Use 3=1⋅73\sqrt{3} = 1{\cdot}73]
    38 (iii) (b)
