Question : Find the value of $\frac{\cos A}{1+\sin A}+\frac{1+\sin A}{\cos A}+2$.
Option 1: $1+2 \sec A$
Option 2: $2-\sec A$
Option 3: $2+\sec A$
Option 4: $2(1+\sec A)$
Correct Answer: $2(1+\sec A)$
Solution : Given: $\frac{\cos A}{1+\sin A}+\frac{1+\sin A}{\cos A}+2$ = $\frac{\cos^2A+1+\sin A+\sin A+\sin^2A}{(1+\sin A)(\cos A)}+2$ = $\frac{2+2\sin A}{(1+\sin A)(\cos A)}+2$ = $\frac{2(1+\sin A)}{(1+\sin A)(\cos A)}+2$ = $\frac{2}{\cos A}+2$ = $2\sec A+2$ = $2(1+\sec A)$ Hence, the correct answer is $2(1+\sec A)$.
Question : Directions: In the following question, some parts of the sentence have errors, and some are correct. Find out which part of the sentence has an error. The number of that part is the answer. If a sentence is error-free, your answer is "No Error".

Question : If $a-b=2$ and $ab=24$, then what is the value of $a^3-b^3$?
Option 1: 280
Option 2: 124
Option 3: 140
Option 4: 152
Correct Answer: 152
Solution : Given: $a-b=2$ and $ab=24$ We know that $(a-b)^3=a^3-b^3-3ab(a-b)$ ⇒ $2^3=a^3-b^3-3(24)(2)$ ⇒ $a^3-b^3=8+3\times 24\times 2$ ⇒ $a^3-b^3=152$ Hence, the correct answer is 152.
