Question : If $\tan A = n\tan B$ and $\sin A=m \sin B$, then the value of $\cos^{2}A$ is:

Option 1: $\frac{m^{2}-1}{n^{2}+1}$

Option 2: $\frac{m^{2}+1}{n^{2}-1}$

Option 3: $\frac{m^{2}+1}{n^{2}+1}$

Option 4: $\frac{m^{2}-1}{n^{2}-1}$

Team Careers360 17th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\frac{m^{2}-1}{n^{2}-1}$


Solution : $\sin A = m\sin B$--------------(i)
$\tan A = n\tan B$
$\frac{\sin A}{\cos A}$ = $n\frac{\sin B}{\cos B}$------------------(ii)
Substituting $\sin B$ from equation (i),
⇒ $\cos B$ = $\frac{n}{m}$$\cos A$----------(iii)
Squaring both sides of equation (i),
⇒ $\sin^{2} A$ = $m^{2}\sin^{2}B$
⇒ 1–$\cos^{2} A$ = $m^{2}(1–\cos^{2}

Question : The price of a shirt after a 15% discount is Rs. 119. What was the marked price of the shirt before the discount?

Option 1: Rs. 129

Option 2: Rs. 150

Option 3: Rs. 140

Option 4: Rs. 160

Team Careers360 23rd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Rs. 140


Solution : Let the marked price of the shirt be Rs. $x$.
Price after 15% discount $= x - 0.15x = 0.85x$
So, $0.85x = 119$
$\therefore x = 140$
Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 140.

Question : If the length of each of two equal sides of an isosceles triangle is 10 cm and the adjacent angle is $45^{\circ}$, then the area of the triangle is:

Option 1: $20\sqrt{2}$ sq. cm

Option 2: $12\sqrt{2}$ sq. cm

Option 3: $25\sqrt{2}$ sq. cm

Option 4: $15\sqrt{2}$ sq. cm

Team Careers360 16th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $25\sqrt{2}$ sq. cm


Solution :
$AD = AB \sin 45^\circ$
$= 10\times\frac{1}{\sqrt2}$
$= 5\sqrt2$ cm
$\therefore$ Area of $\triangle ABC = \frac{1}{2}\times BC \times AD$
$=\frac{1}{2}\times 10 \times 5\sqrt2$
$= 25\sqrt2$ sq. cm
Hence, the correct answer is $25\sqrt2$ sq. cm.

Question : S and T are points on the sides PQ and PR, respectively, of $\triangle$PQR such that PS × PR = PQ × PT. If $\angle$Q = 96° and $\angle$PST = $\angle$PRQ + 34°, then $\angle$QPR = ?

Option 1: 24°

Option 2: 25°

Option 3: 22°

Option 4: 26°

Team Careers360 15th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 22°


Solution : According to the question,
PS × PR = PQ × PT
⇒ $\frac{PQ}{PS}$ = $\frac{PR}{PT}$
⇒ ST || QR
 $\angle$ Q = $\angle$ PST = 96° (corresponding angles between two parallel lines)
Since $\angle$ PST = $\angle$ PRQ + 34°
⇒ 96° = $\angle$ PRQ
