Question : If $\operatorname{cosec}\theta+\sin\theta=\frac{5}{2}$, then the value of $(\operatorname{cosec}\theta-\sin\theta)$ is:
Option 1: $-\frac{3}{2}$
Option 2: $\frac{3}{2}$
Option 3: $-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$
Option 4: $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$
Correct Answer: $\frac{3}{2}$
Solution : Given: $\operatorname{cosec}\theta+\sin\theta=\frac{5}{2}$ ⇒ $\frac{1}{\sin\theta}+\sin\theta=\frac{5}{2}$ ⇒ $\frac{1+\sin^{2}\theta}{\sin\theta}=\frac{5}{2}$ ⇒ $2\sin^{2}\theta-5\sin\theta+2=0$ ⇒ $2\sin^{2}\theta-4\sin\theta-1\sin\theta+2=0$ ⇒ $2\sin\theta (\sin\theta-2)-1(\sin\theta-2)=0$ ⇒ $(\sin\theta-2)(2\sin\theta-1)=0$ ⇒ $\sin\theta= 2,\frac{1}{2}$ $\sin\theta$'s value can't be 2. So, $\sin\theta=\frac{1}{2}=\sin30^{\circ}$ ⇒ $\theta=30^{\circ}$ $\operatorname{cosec}\theta-\sin\theta$ $=\operatorname{cosec}30^{\circ}-\sin30^{\circ}$ $= 2-\frac{1}{2}$ $=\frac{3}{2}$ Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{3}{2}$.

Option 1: $48\text{ cm}^2$
Option 2: $96\text{ cm}^2$
Option 3: $144\text{ cm}^2$
Option 4: $192\text{ cm}^2$
Correct Answer: $96\text{ cm}^2$
Solution : The area of a rhombus, where $d_1$ and $d_2$ are the lengths of the diagonals, $ = \frac{1}{2} \times d_1 \times d_2 $ In this case, one side of the rhombus is given as 10 cm and one diagonal is given as 12 cm.
