A royal ceremony in which a crown is placed on the head of a new King or a Queen.

Option 1: Corroboration

Option 2: Unseating

Option 3: Ousting

Option 4: Coronation

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Coronation


Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option.

Explanation: "Coronation" is the precise term that encapsulates this ceremonial event. It is a noun that refers to the formal crowning or investiture of a monarch. The other options are not related to the specific ceremonial act described.

So, the correct sentence would be: "The royal ceremony concluded with the coronation of the new king."

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  1. Corroboration: Corroboration refers to the act of confirming or supporting a statement or theory with additional evidence. It is not related to the ceremonial act of crowning a monarch.
  2. Unseating: Unseating refers to the removal or displacement of a person from a position or office. It does not capture the specific act of placing a crown on the head of a new king or queen.
  3. Ousting: Ousting refers to the forceful removal or expulsion of someone from a position of power. It does not convey the ceremonial and formal nature of a royal coronation.

Question : Let $A, B, C,$ and $D$ be the angles of a quadrilateral. If they are concyclic, then the value of $\cos\ A+\cos\ B+\cos\ C+\cos\ D$ is:

Option 1: 0

Option 2: 1

Option 3: –1

Option 4: 2

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 0


Solution :
$A, B, C$, and $D$ are the angles of a quadrilateral and they are concyclic.
So, $\angle A+\angle C=\angle B+\angle D=180°$
$\angle A=180°–\angle C$
$\therefore\cos\ A=\cos(180°-C)=–\cos\ C$
Similarly, $\cos\ D=–\cos\ B$
$\cos\ A+\cos\ B+\cos\ C+\cos\ D$
$=\cos\ A+\cos\ B-\cos\ A-\cos\ B$
$=0$
Hence, the correct answer is $0$.
