Question : Directions: If < means –, ! means ×, > means +, and @ means ÷, then what is the value of the following expression? 205 > 210 @ 15 ! 2 < 19
Option 1: 242
Option 2: 238

Question : If $3 \tan \theta=2 \sqrt{3} \sin \theta, 0^{\circ}<\theta<90^{\circ}$, then the value of $\frac{\operatorname{cosec}^2 2 \theta+\cot ^2 2 \theta}{\sin ^2 \theta+\tan ^2 2 \theta}$ is:
Option 1: $\frac{4}{13}$
Option 2: $\frac{20}{39}$
Option 3: $\frac{4}{3}$
Option 4: $\frac{20}{27}$
Correct Answer: $\frac{20}{39}$
Solution : $3 \tan \theta=2 \sqrt{3} \sin \theta$ ⇒ $3 × \frac{\sin \theta}{\cos \theta} = 2 \sqrt{3} \sin \theta$ ⇒ $\frac{3}{\cos \theta} = 2 \sqrt{3}$ ⇒ $\cos \theta = \frac{3}{2 \sqrt{3}} = \frac{\sqrt3}{2}$ ⇒ $\theta = 30^{\circ}$ Now, $\frac{\operatorname{cosec}^2 2 \theta+\cot ^2 2 \theta}{\sin ^2 \theta+\tan ^2
