Question : If $x+y+z=0$, then what is the value of $\frac{x^2}{(y z)}+\frac{y^2}{(x z)}+\frac{z^2}{(x y)}$?

Option 1: 1

Option 2: 0

Option 3: 2

Option 4: 3

Team Careers360 17th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 3


Solution : Given: $x+y+z=0$
Cubing both sides, we get,
$⇒(x+y+z)^3=0$
$⇒x^3 + y^3 + z^3 + 3(x+y)(y+z)(z+x)=0$
$⇒x^3+y^3+z^3 = -3(x+y)(y+z)(z+x)$ ......(1)
From the given equation ($x+y+z=0$), we can get,
$x+y=-z,$ $y+z=-x$ and $z+x=-y$
Putting in (1), we get,
$x^3+y^3+z^3 = -3(-z)(-x)(-y)=3xyz$
Consider, $\frac{x^2}{(y z)}+\frac{y^2}{(x z)}+\frac{z^2}{(x y)}$
$=\frac{x^2(xz)(xy)+y^2(yz)(xy)+z^2(yz)(xz)}{(yz)(xz)(xy)}$

Question : $\frac{(1+\sec \theta \operatorname{cosec} \theta)^2(\sec \theta-\tan \theta)^2(1+\sin \theta)}{(\sin \theta+\sec \theta)^2+(\cos \theta+\operatorname{cosec} \theta)^2}, 0^{\circ}<\theta<90^{\circ}$, is equal to:

Option 1: $1-\cos \theta$

Option 2: $1-\sin \theta$

Option 3: $\cos \theta$

Option 4: $\sin \theta$

Team Careers360 15th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $1-\sin \theta$


Solution : $\frac{(1+\sec \theta \operatorname{cosec} \theta)^2(\sec \theta-\tan \theta)^2(1+\sin \theta)}{(\sin \theta+\sec \theta)^2+(\cos \theta+\operatorname{cosec} \theta)^2}$
Since $ 0^{\circ}<\theta<90^{\circ}$.
$=\frac{(1+\frac{1}{\cos\theta.\sin\theta})^2(\frac{1}{cos\theta}-\frac{\sin\theta}{\cos\theta})^2 (1+\sin\theta)}{(\sin\theta+\frac{1}{\cos\theta})^2+(\cos\theta+\frac{1}{\sin\theta})^2}$
$=\frac{(\frac{\cos\theta.\sin\theta+1}{\cos\theta.\sin\theta})^2(\frac{1-\sin\theta}{\cos\theta})^2 (1+\sin\theta)}{(\frac{\sin\theta.\cos\theta+1}{\cos\theta})^2+(\frac{\cos\theta\sin\theta+1}{\sin\theta})^2}$
$=\frac{(\frac{1}{\cos\theta.\sin\theta})^2(\frac{1-\sin\theta}{\cos\theta})^2 (1+\sin\theta)}{\frac{\sin^2\theta+\cos^2\theta}{\sin^2\theta.\cos^2\theta}}$
$=\frac{(1-\sin\theta)(1-\sin\theta)(1+\sin\theta)}{\cos^2\theta}$
$=\frac{(1-\sin\theta)(1-\sin^2\theta)}{\cos^2\theta}$
$=\frac{(1-\sin\theta)(\cos^2\theta)}{\cos^2\theta}$
$=1-\sin\theta$
Hence, the correct answer is $1-\sin \theta$.

Question : An observer on the top of a mountain, 500 m above sea level, observes the angles of depression of the two boats in his same place of vision to be 45° and 30°, respectively. Then the distance between the boats, if the boats are on the same side of the mountain, is:

Option 1: 456 m

Option 2: 584 m

Option 3: 366 m

Option 4: 699 m

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 366 m


Solution :
Given:
AB = Height of mountain = 500 m
$\angle$ACB = 30°; $\angle$ADB = 45°
C and D ⇒ Positions of boats
Let CD = $x$ m
Solution:
From $\triangle$ABD,
$\tan 45° = \frac{AB}{BD}$ 
⇒ AB = BD
⇒ AB = BD = 500

Question : Directions: In the following question, some parts of the sentence may have some errors. Find out which part of the sentence has an error and select the appropriate option. If the sentence is free from error, select "No Error".

On last Sunday (1) / I met my friend (2) / accidentally. (3) / No Error (4)

Option 1: (1)

Option 2: (2)

Option 3: (3)

Option 4: (4)

Team Careers360 15th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: (1)


Solution : The error lies in the first part of the sentence.

"On last Sunday" should be replaced with ''Last Sunday'', as it is more widely used to refer to the specific day and the use of the preposition "on" is not required. "Last Sunday" is a

Question : If $2\left [x^{2} +\frac{1}{x^{2}}\right]-2\left [x-\frac{1}{x} \right]-8=0$, what are the two values of $\left (x-\frac{1}{x} \right)\;$?

Option 1: –1 or 2

Option 2: 1 or –2

Option 3: –1 or –2

Option 4: 1 or 2

Team Careers360 23rd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: –1 or 2


Solution : Given: $2\left [x^{2} +\frac{1}{x^{2}} \right]-2\left [ x-\frac{1}{x} \right]-8=0$
$⇒2\left [(x -\frac{1}{x})^{2}+2 \right]-2\left [ x-\frac{1}{x} \right ]-8=0$
Let $(x -\frac{1}{x})=t$
The equation becomes $2(t^{2}+2)-2t-8=0$
$⇒2t^{2}-2t-4=0$
$⇒t^{2}-2t+t-1=0$
$⇒(t-2)(t+1)=0$
$⇒t=-1,2$
So, $(x -\frac{1}{x})=-1,2$
Hence, the correct answer is –1 or 2.
