Question : If $\theta$ is an acute angle and $\sin \theta=\frac{43}{47}$, what is the value of $\cot \theta$?
Option 1: $\frac{6 \sqrt{10}}{47}$
Option 2: $\frac{43}{6 \sqrt{10}}$
Option 3: $\frac{47}{6 \sqrt{10}}$
Option 4: $\frac{6 \sqrt{10}}{43}$
Correct Answer: $\frac{6 \sqrt{10}}{43}$
Solution : $\sin \theta = \frac{43}{47}$ $\therefore \cos \theta = \sqrt{1-\sin^2 \theta} = \sqrt{1-(\frac{43}{47})^2}$ = $\sqrt\frac{360}{47^2}$ = $\frac{6\sqrt{10}}{47}$ $\cot \theta = \frac{\cos\theta}{\sin \theta} = \frac{\frac{6\sqrt{10}}{47}}{\frac{43}{47}} = \frac{6\sqrt{10}}{43}$ Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{6\sqrt{10}}{43}$.

Option 1: March 8
Option 2: June 26
Option 3: April 22
Option 4: November 4
Correct Answer: March 8
Solution : Given: International Literacy Day : September 8 :: International Women's Day : ?
Like, the International Literacy Day is celebrated around the globe on September 8. Similarly, the International Women's Day is celebrated around the globe on March 8.
Hence, the first option is
Question : Ankit went to Manali, for river rafting. He rows at the rate of 12 km/h in still water. To cover the same distance, it takes him twice as long to row up as to row down the river. Find the rate of flow of the river.
Option 1: 6 km/h
Option 2: 4 km/h
Option 3: 8 km/h
Option 4: 2 km/h
Correct Answer: 4 km/h
Solution : Let the rate of flow of water of the river be $x$. Speed of boat in still water = 12 km/h Let the distance be $y$ km. According to the question, $\frac{y}{12-x}=2 × \frac{y}{12+x}$ ⇒ $12+x=24-2x$ ⇒ $3x=12$ ⇒ $x=4$ Hence, the correct answer
Question : Directions: In the following bar diagrams sales of books (in thousand numbers) from six branches B1, B2, B3, B4, B5 and B6 of a publishing company in 2009 and 2010 have been shown. Study the graph and answer the questions.
$x$% of the average sales of branches B1, B2, and B3 in 2010 is the average sales of branches B1, B3, and B6 in 2009. The value of $x$ is:
Option 1: 77.5%
Option 2: 87.5%
Option 3: 82.5%
Option 4: 75%
Correct Answer: 87.5%
Solution : From the given graph, The total sales of branches B1, B2, and B3 in 2010 = 105 + 65 + 110 = 280 thousand The total sales of branches B1, B3, and B6 in 2009 = 80 + 95 + 70 = 245 thousand The
Question : Which of the following bases is found in lime water?
Option 1: Calcium hydroxide
Option 2: Potassium hydroxide
Option 3: Magnesium hydroxide
Option 4: Ammonium hydroxide
Correct Answer: Calcium hydroxide
Solution : The correct answer is Calcium hydroxide.
Lime water contains calcium hydroxide, which is a strong base. The chemical formula for calcium hydroxide is Ca(OH)2. When calcium oxide (quicklime) reacts with water, it forms calcium hydroxide, resulting in lime water. The hydroxide
Question : tan of complementary of an angle is the same as which of the angles?
Option 1: sin of that angle
Option 2: cot of that angle
Option 3: cos of that angle
Option 4: cosec of that angle
Correct Answer: cot of that angle
Solution : The tangent of the complementary angle is equal to the cotangent of the original angle. Mathematically, this can be expressed as: $\boxed{\tan (90° - θ) = \cot θ}$ So, if we have an angle $θ$, then the tangent of its complementary angle
