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: $\frac{20}{27}$

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

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

Question : If the simple interest at the same rate of interest on INR 500 for 4 years and INR 700 for 2 years combined, is INR 280, then what is the rate of interest?

Option 1: $9 \frac{3}{17}\%$

Option 2: $6 \frac{5}{17}\%$

Option 3: $8 \frac{4}{17}\%$

Option 4: $7 \frac{3}{17}\%$

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $8 \frac{4}{17}\%$


Solution : P = INR 500 and INR 700
T = 4 years and 2 years 
R = same for both 
According to the question,
$280 = \frac{\text{500×R×4}}{100}$+$\frac{\text{700×R×2}}{100}$
⇒ $280 = \frac{\text{2000R}}{100}$+$\frac{\text{1400R}}{100}$
⇒ $ 280 = \frac{\text{3400R}}{100}$
⇒ $R = \frac{280}{34} = 8\frac{4}{17}$
Hence, the correct
