Question : Using the identity, $\tan 2 \alpha = \frac{2 \tan \alpha}{1 – \tan ^2 \alpha},$ find the value of $\tan15°,$ correct to three decimal places. [Use $\sqrt{3} = 1.732$]

Option 1: 0.268

Option 2: 0.27

Option 3: 0.267

Option 4: 0.269

Team Careers360 19th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 0.268


Solution : $\tan 2 \alpha = \frac{2 \tan \alpha}{1 – \tan^2 \alpha}$
Putting $\alpha = 15°$
$\tan 2 \times 15°= \frac{2 \tan 15°}{1 – \tan^2 15°}$
$⇒\tan 30°=\frac{2 \tan 15°}{1–\tan^2 15°}$
$⇒\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} = \frac{2 \tan 15°}{1 – \tan ^2 15°}$
$⇒1 – \tan^2 15° = \sqrt{3}\times 2

Question : If $x=\sqrt2+1$, then the value of $x^{4}-\frac{1}{x^{4}}$ is:

Option 1: $8\sqrt2$

Option 2: $18\sqrt2$

Option 3: $6\sqrt2$

Option 4: $24\sqrt2$

Team Careers360 17th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $24\sqrt2$


Solution : Given: $x=\sqrt{2}+1$
Thus, $\frac{1}{x}=\sqrt{2}-1$
$x+\frac{1}{x}=(\sqrt{2}+1)+(\sqrt{2}-1)=(\sqrt{2}+1+\sqrt{2}-1)=2\sqrt{2}$
$x-\frac{1}{x}=(\sqrt{2}+1)-(\sqrt{2}-1)=(\sqrt{2}+1-\sqrt{2}+1)=2$
So, $(x^2+\frac{1}{x^2})=6$
We know that,
$x^4-\frac{1}{x^4}=(x^2+\frac{1}{x^2})(x^2-\frac{1}{x^2})=(x^2+\frac{1}{x^2})(x+\frac{1}{x})(x-\frac{1}{x})$
Putting the values we get,
⇒ $x^4-\frac{1}{x^4}=6×2×2\sqrt{2}$
$\therefore x^4-\frac{1}{x^4}=24\sqrt{2}$
Hence, the correct answer is $24\sqrt{2}$.

Question : Numan does half the work of Gagan in $\frac{4}{5}$ time. If they together take 16 days to complete a work, how much time will Gagan take to complete the work?

Option 1: 23 days

Option 2: 24 days

Option 3: 25 days

Option 4: 26 days

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 26 days


Solution : According to the question,
Numan $× \frac{4}{5}$ = Gagan $× \frac{1}{2}$
⇒ Numan = Gagan $× \frac{5}{8}$
⇒ $\frac{\text{Numan}}{\text{Gagan}} = \frac{5}{8}$
Let Numan’s efficiency = 5 units/day
And, Gagan’s efficiency = 8 units/day
So, the total work $= 16 × (5 + 8)=16 ×
