Some applications of Trigonometry

At a toll plaza, an electronic toll collection system has been installed. FASTag can be used to pay the
fare. The tag can be pasted on the windscreen of a car.
At the toll plaza a tag scanner is placed at a height of 6 m from the ground. The scanner reads the
information on the tag of the vehicle and debits the desired toll amount from a linked bank
account.

For the tag scanner to function properly the speed of a car needs to be less than 30 km per hour. A
car with a tag installed at a height of 1.5 m from the ground enters the scanner zone.

Nishant and Kapil are playing a game of darts.

They use this dart board.

Here are the rules of the game:

When your dart is placed in any circular region, you get the points mentioned in that region.
If your dart strikes outside the circles you get zero points.
During the game all the darts of both Nishant and Kapil fall in the circular region.
The radius of the innermost circle is 7 cm and the width of all other circular regions is 7 cm.

SAS21M10D1501
1 Nishant throws the irst dart.
What is the probability of Nishant getting a score of 100 in the irst throw?
