Question : Ravi initially had a certain number of chocolates, while Bhanu initially had 80% of the number of chocolates that Ravi initially had. Ravi gave 10% of his chocolates to his sister, while Bhanu received from his uncle another 35% of the number of chocolates he initially had.

Question : If $\sec x+\cos x=\frac{5}{2}$, where $x$ lies between $0^{\circ}$ and $90^{\circ}$, then what is the value of $\sin ^2 x$ ?
Option 1: $\frac{3}{4}$
Option 2: $\frac{1}{2}$
Option 3: $1$
Option 4: $\frac{1}{4}$
Correct Answer: $\frac{3}{4}$
Solution : Given: $\sec x + \cos x = \frac{5}{2}$ Now, $\cos\theta = \frac{1}{\sec\theta}$ ⇒ $\frac{1}{\cos x} + \cos x = \frac{5}{2}$ The above equation satisfies for $x = 60^\circ$ Thus, $\sin^2x = \sin^2 60^\circ= (\frac{\sqrt3}{2})^2$ $\therefore \sin^2x = \frac{3}{4}$ Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{3}{4}$.
Question : What are the last three digits of the multiplication 654321 × 123456?
Option 1: 376
Option 2: 344
Option 3: 324
Option 4: 352
Correct Answer: 376
Solution : To find the last three digits of a product, we can ignore the first two digits and multiply the remaining digits. Ignoring the first two digits of 654321 and 123456, we have 321 × 456. Multiplying these digits, we get 146376. Hence, the correct answer
