(a) Simplify : \(\frac{\frac{1}{2} of \frac{1}{4} \div \frac{1}{3}}{\frac{1}{6} - \frac{3}{4} + \frac{1}{2}}\).
(b) Given that \(\sqrt{x} = 10^{\bar{1}.6741}\), without using calculators, find the value of x.

(a) Make q the subject of the relation \(t = \sqrt{\frac{pq}{r} - r^{2}q}\).
(b) If \(9^{(1 - x)} = 27^{y}\) and \(x - y = -1\frac{1}{2}\), find the value of x and y.

A sector of a circle with radius 21 cm has an area of 280\(cm^{2}\).
(a) Calculate, correct to 1 decimal place, the perimeter of the sector.
(b) If the sector is bent such that its straight edges coincide to form a cone, calculate, correct to the nearest degree, the vertical angle of the cone. [Take \(\pi = \frac{22}{7}\)].
