Answer
Steps of construction:
-
Drow a circle with the help of bangle.
-
Take a point P outside the circle and take two chords QR and ST.
-
Draw perpendicular bisect of these chords.
-
Join PO and bisect it, Let U be the mid-point of PO.
-
Taking U as centere, draw a circle of radius OU, which will intersect the original circle at V and W.
-
Join PV and PW are required tangents.

While boarding an aeroplane, a passenger got hurt. The pilot showing promptness and concern, made arrangements to hospitalise the injured and so the plane started late by 30 minutes. To reach the destination, 1500km away, in time, the pilot increased the speed by 100km/hour.
Find the original speed of the plane.
Do you appreciate the values shown by the pilot, namely promptness in providing help to the injured and his efforts to reach in time?
