Question : Directions: Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as the numbers of the given sets. (NOTE: Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into their constituent digits. E.g. 13 – Operations on 13 such as adding/subtracting/multiplying etc. to 13 can be performed. Breaking down 13 into 1 and 3 and then performing mathematical operations on 1 and 3 is NOT allowed.) (9, 20, 31) (38, 49, 60)
Option 1: (63, 60, 65)
Option 2: (15, 20, 31)
Option 3: (25, 69, 45)
Option 4: (14, 24, 34)
Correct Answer: (14, 24, 34)
Solution : Given: (9, 20, 31); (38, 49, 60)
Here, (9, 20, 31)→(20 – 9) + 20 = 11 + 20 = 31 (38, 49, 60)→(49 – 38) + 49 = 11 + 49 = 60
Let's check the options – First option: (63,

Question : The value of $\left(\tan ^2 A+\cot ^2 A-2\right)-\sec ^2 A \operatorname{cosec}^2 A$ is:
Option 1: –4
Option 2: –1
Option 3: 1
Option 4: 4
Correct Answer: –4
Solution : $\left(\tan ^2 A+\cot ^2 A-2\right)-\sec ^2 A \operatorname{cosec}^2 A$ $=\left[(1+\tan ^2 A)+(1+\cot ^2 A)-4\right]-\sec ^2 A \operatorname{cosec}^2 A$ $=(\sec ^2 A+ \operatorname{cosec}^2 A-4)-\sec ^2 A \operatorname{cosec}^2 A$ $=(\frac{1}{\cos ^2 A}+\frac{1}{\sin ^2 A})-4-\sec ^2 A \operatorname{cosec}^2 A$ $=(\frac{\sin ^2 A+\cos ^2 A}{\sin ^2 A\cos ^2 A})-4-\sec
Question : Directions: Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as the numbers of the following sets. (NOTE: Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into their constituent digits. E.g. 13 - operations on 13 such as adding/subtracting/multiplying etc. to 13 can be performed. Breaking down 13 into 1 and 3 and then performing mathematical operations on 1 and 3 is not allowed.) (5, 32, 7) (4, 30, 14)
Option 1: (7, 60, 11)

Option 4: (8, 60, 9)
Correct Answer: (7, 60, 11)
Solution : Given: (5, 32, 7); (4, 30, 14)
In the given sets, add the third number to the square of the first number to obtain the second number – (5, 32, 7)→52 + 7 = 25 + 7 = 32 (4, 30, 14)→4
Question : If $\frac{a}{b}+\frac{b}{a}=1$, the value of $a^{3}+b^{3}$ is equal to:
Option 1: 0
Option 2: 1
Option 3: 2
Option 4: 3
Correct Answer: 0
Solution : Given: $\frac{a}{b}+\frac{b}{a}=1$ ⇒ $\frac{a^2 +b^2}{ab}=1$ ⇒ ${(a^2 +b^2)}={ab}$.............................(equation 1) Now, $a^{3}+b^{3}={(a+b)(a^2+b^2–ab)}$ Putting the value of ${a^2+b^2}$ from equation 1, we get ${(a+b)(a^2+b^2–ab)}$ = ${(a+b)(ab–ab)}$ = ${(a+b)×0}$ = $0$ Thus, $a^{3}+b^{3}=0$ Hence, the correct answer is 0.
