Question : If $8 \cot \theta=6$, then the value of $\frac{\sin \theta+\cos \theta}{\sin \theta-\cos \theta}$ is:

Option 1: 12

Option 2: 7

Option 3: 2

Option 4: 5

Team Careers360 24th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 7


Solution : $8 \cot \theta = 6$
$\therefore \cot \theta = \frac{6}{8}$
Now, $\frac{(\sin \theta+\cos \theta)}{(\sin \theta-\cos \theta)}$
Dividing numerator and denominator by $\sin \theta$
$=\frac{(1+\cot \theta )}{(1-\cot \theta)}$
$=\frac{1+ \frac{6}{8}}{1- \frac{6}{8}}$
$=\frac{\frac{14}{8}}{\frac{2}{8}}$
$=\frac{14}{2}$
$=7$
​​​​​​​Hence, the correct answer is 7.

Question : The following pie chart shows the monthly sales of laptops of five companies A, B, C, D, and E in a store.

If the store sold 2500 laptops in a month, then what is the difference between the number of laptops sold by Company A and that of Company C?

Option 1: 750

Option 2: 650

Option 3: 800

Option 4: 700

Team Careers360 20th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 800


Solution : Number of laptops sold by the store in a month = 2500
Laptop sold by company A = 40% of 2500 = $\frac{2500\times{40}}{100}$ = 1000 
Laptop sold by company C = 8% of 2500 = $\frac{2500\times{8}}{100}$ = 200

Question : A hemispherical tank full of water is emptied by a pipe at the rate of 7.7 litres per second. How much time (in hours) will it take to empty $\frac{2}{3}$ part of the tank, if the internal radius of the tank is 10.5 m?

Option 1: $\frac{185}{3}$

Option 2: $\frac{185}{6}$

Option 3: $\frac{175}{3}$

Option 4: $\frac{175}{2}$

Team Careers360 13th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\frac{175}{3}$


Solution : The volume of the hemispherical tank = $\frac{2}{3}\pi r^3$
= $\frac{2}{3}\times\frac{22}{7}×10.5 × 10.5 × 10.5$
= 2425.5 m3
The capacity of the tank is = 2425.5 × 1000 L
= 2425500 L
Time taken by the pipe emptied $\frac{2}{3}$ part of the tank is
