Question : If $\cos^2 \theta=\frac{3}{4}$, where $\theta$ is an acute angle, then the value of $\sin \left(\theta+30^{\circ}\right)$ is:

Option 1: $1$

Option 2: $\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$

Option 3: $\frac{1}{2}$

Option 4: $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$

Team Careers360 24th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$


Solution : Given:
$\cos^2 \theta=\frac{3}{4}$
⇒ $\cos \theta=\pm\frac{\sqrt3}{2}$
$\theta$ is an acute angle i.e. it will be less than 90°.
$\therefore \cos \theta=-\frac{\sqrt3}{2}$ will be rejected.
⇒ $\cos \theta=\frac{\sqrt3}{2}$
⇒ $\theta = 30°$
Now we have to find $\sin \left(\theta+30^{\circ}\right)$
$ = \sin(30° + 30°) = \sin

Question : AB is the chord of a circle such that AB = 10 cm. If the diameter of the circle is 20 cm, then the angle subtended by the chord at the centre is?

Option 1: $45^{\circ}$

Option 2: $60^{\circ}$

Option 3: $30^{\circ}$

Option 4: $90^{\circ}$

Team Careers360 24th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $60^{\circ}$


Solution :
Given: AB is the chord of a circle such that AB = 10 cm.
The diameter of the circle is 20 cm.
The line segment connecting any two points on the circle's circumference is known as the chord of a circle.
In $\triangle AOC$,

Question : What is the value of ${a}^3+{b}^3+{c}^3$ if $(a+b+c)=0$?

Option 1: $a^2+b^2+c^2-3abc$

Option 2: $0$

Option 3: $3abc$

Option 4: $a^2+b^2+c^2-ab-bc-ca$

Team Careers360 23rd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $3abc$


Solution : Using the identity: $a^3 + b^3 + c^3 - 3abc = (a + b + c)(a^2 + b^2 + c^2 - ab - bc - ca)$.
If $a + b + c = 0$, 
$a^3 + b^3 + c^3 - 3abc = 0$
⇒ $a^3

Question : If $2 \sin \theta+2 \sin ^2 \theta=2$, then the value of $2 \cos ^4 \theta+2 \cos ^2 \theta$ is:

Option 1: 4

Option 2: 2

Option 3: 1

Option 4: 0

Team Careers360 21st Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 2


Solution : Given: $2 \sin \theta+2 \sin ^2 \theta=2$
⇒ $2\sin\theta + 2\sin^2\theta = 2(\sin^2\theta + \cos^2\theta)$
⇒ $2\sin\theta + 2\sin^2\theta = 2\sin^2\theta + 2\cos^2\theta$
⇒ $2\sin\theta = 2\cos^2\theta$
⇒ $\sin\theta = \cos^2\theta$
Putting the value in the given equation,
$2 \cos ^4 \theta+2 \cos ^2 \theta$

Question : How many composite numbers are there from 53 to 97?

Option 1: 36

Option 2: 38

Option 3: 37

Option 4: 35

Team Careers360 24th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 35


Solution : Given: The numbers are from 53 to 97.
Numbers with more than two factors are called composite numbers.
The composite number between 53 and 97 = 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 60, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 68, 69, 70, 72, 74, 75, 76, 77,

Team Careers360 22nd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 4


Solution : The correct option is 4

There are four main categories of microorganisms:

  • Bacteria are single-celled microorganisms with no nucleus and no membrane-bound organelles.
  • Algae are water-bound, photosynthetic, nucleus-bearing organisms that lack genuine roots, stems, and leaves.
  • Fungi are eukaryotic microorganisms such as yeasts, moulds, and

Question : Which of the following statement(s) is/are TRUE?
I. $33^{3}>3^{33}$
II. $333>(3^{3})^{3}$

Option 1: Only I

Option 2: Only II

Option 3: Both I and II

Option 4: Neither I nor II

Team Careers360 23rd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Neither I nor II


Solution : $33^{3}$ = $33^{3}$
$3^{33} =(3^{11})^3$
Since $3^{11}$ is clearly greater than $33$,
Thus, $3^{33} > 33^{3}$
So, statement I is false.
Now, $(3^3)^3 = 27^3 = (729×27)>333$
So, statement II is also false.
Hence, the correct answer is 'Neither I nor II'.
