Option 1: 4
Option 2: 5
Option 3: 2

Question : In $\triangle$PQR, a straight line parallel to the base, QR cuts PQ at X and PR at Y. If PX : XQ = 5 : 6, then XY : QR will be:
Option 1: 5 : 11
Option 2: 6 : 5
Option 3: 11 : 6
Option 4: 11 : 5
Correct Answer: 5 : 11
Solution : Given: In $\triangle$PQR, QR || XY $\frac{PX}{XQ}=\frac{5}{6}$ Let PX = 5 units, XQ = 6 units So, PQ = 5 + 6 = 11 units In ∆ PXY and ∆ PQR, ∵ QR | | XY ∵ $\angle$X = $\angle$Q ; $\angle$Y =

In this case, the
Question : If $a(\tan\theta +\cot \theta)=1$, $\sin\theta +\cos\theta =b$ with $0^{\circ}< \theta < 90^{\circ}$, then a relation between $a$ and $b$ is:
Option 1: $b^{2}=2\left ( a+1 \right )$
Option 2: $b^{2}=2\left ( a-1 \right )$
Option 3: $2a=b^{2}-1$
Option 4: $2a=b^{2}+1$
Correct Answer: $2a=b^{2}-1$
Solution : $a(\tan\theta +\cot \theta) = 1$ $⇒a(\frac{\sin\theta}{\cos\theta} + \frac{\cos\theta}{\sin\theta}) = 1$ $⇒a(\frac{\sin^2\theta+\cos^2\theta}{\sin\theta\cos\theta}) = 1$ $⇒a={\sin\theta\cos\theta}$ $\sin\theta +\cos\theta = b$ ......(i) Squaring both sides, $(\sin\theta +\cos\theta)^2 = b^2$ $⇒(\sin^2\theta +\cos^2\theta+2\sin\theta\cos\theta) = b^2$ $⇒1+2\sin\theta\cos\theta = b^2$ From equation (i) $⇒1+2a = b^2$ $⇒2a=b^{2}-1$ Hence, the correct answer is
