Question : If $\cot A=\frac{12}{5}$, then the value of $\sin A=?$

Option 1: $\frac{5}{13}$

Option 2: $\frac{12}{13}$

Option 3: $\frac{5}{12}$

Option 4: $\frac{13}{12}$

Team Careers360 23rd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\frac{5}{13}$


Solution :
$\cot A=\frac{12}{5} = \frac{AB}{BC}$
Let $AB$ and $BC$ be 12 units and 5 units respectively.
So, $AC= \sqrt{5^2+12^2} = \sqrt{25+144} = \sqrt{169} = 13$ units
⇒ $\sin A = \frac{BC}{AC} = \frac{5}{13}$
Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{5}{13}$.

Question : A car travels a certain distance at 70 km/hr and comes back at 30 km/hr. Find the average speed for the total journey.

Option 1: 42 km/hr

Option 2: 50 km/hr

Option 3: 34 km/hr

Option 4: 58 km/hr

Team Careers360 23rd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 42 km/hr


Solution : Given:
The car goes at speed($S_1$) = 70 km/hr
The car returns at speed($S_2$) = 30 km/hr
Average speed = $\frac{2×S_1×S_2}{S_1+S_2}$ (for the same distance at different speeds)
= $\frac{2×70×30}{70+30}$
= $\frac{4200}{100}$
= 42 km/hr
Hence, the correct answer is 42 km/hr.
