Question : If $x=a\cos\theta + b\sin\theta$ and $y=b\cos\theta-a\sin\theta$, then $x^{2}+y^{2}$ is equal to:

Option 1: $ab$

Option 2: $a^2+b^2$

Option 3: $a^2-b^2$

Option 4: $1$

Team Careers360 19th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $a^2+b^2$


Solution : Given: $x=a\cos\theta + b\sin\theta$ and $y=b\cos\theta-a\sin\theta$
To find: $x^{2}+y^{2}$
Putting the value of $x$ and $y$, we get
$(a\cos\theta+b\sin\theta)^{2}+(b\cos\theta-a\sin\theta)^{2}$
 $(a^2\cos^2\theta+b^2\sin^2\theta+2×a\cos\theta×b\sin\theta)+(b^2\cos^2\theta+a^2\sin^2\theta-2×b\cos\theta×a\sin\theta)$
$=a^2\cos^2\theta + b^2\sin^2\theta+b^2\cos^2\theta+a^2\sin^2\theta$
$=a^2(\cos^2\theta+sin^2\theta)+b^2(sin^2\theta+\cos^2\theta)$
We know that, $(sin^2\theta+\cos^2\theta)=1$
Thus, $a^2(1)+b^2(1)$= $a^2+b^2$
Hence, the correct answer is $a^2+b^2$.

Question : A man has three sons, two daughters and a wife. They divided a sum of Rs. 19000 among themselves such that each daughter got 1.5 times the amount received by each son and his wife received Rs. 600 less than each son. What is the total amount (in Rs.) received by the three sons together?

Option 1: 2800

Option 2: 3600

Option 3: 5600

Option 4: 8400

Team Careers360 23rd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 8400


Solution : Let the amount received by each son be Rs. $x$.
The amount received by each daughter = 1.5$x$
The amount received by wife = $x$ – 600
Total amount = Rs. 19000
According to the question,
$3x + 2(1.5x) + x- 600 = 19000$
