Question : If $\tan \mathrm{A}=\frac{3}{4}$, then find the value of the following expression $\frac{6 \sin A}{1-\sin A}$.
Option 1: 18
Option 2: 9
Option 3: 24
Option 4: 12
Correct Answer: 9
Solution : Given: $\tan \mathrm{A}=\frac{3}{4}$ We know that $\tan \theta=\frac{\text{Perpendicular}}{\text{Base}}=\frac{3}{4}$ Let perpendicular = $3k$ and base = $4k$ [where $k$ is a non zero constant] So, Hypotenuse $=\sqrt{(3k)^2+(4k)^2}=\sqrt{25k^2}=5k$ ⇒ $\sin A =\frac{\text{Perpendicular}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}=\frac{3k}{5k}=\frac{3}{5}$ Now, $\frac{6 \sin A}{1-\sin A}$ $= \frac{6 ×\frac{3}{5}}{1-\frac{3}{5}}$ $= \frac{\frac{18}{5}}{\frac{2}{5}}$ $=9$ Hence, the correct answer

Question : What is the amount (in INR) of debt that will be discharged in 6 equal instalments of INR 800 each, if the debt is due in 6 years at 5% per annum?
Option 1: 6,600
Option 2: 7,500
Option 3: 8,000
Option 4: 5,400
Correct Answer: 5,400
Solution : Given: Installment = INR $800$ Rate, $r$ = $5$% Time, $t$ = $6$ years Let the debt be $x$. Installment $=\frac{\text{Debt×100}}{100×t+\frac{r×t(t-1)}{2}}$ ⇒ $800=\frac{100x}{100×6+\frac{5×6(6-1)}{2}}$ ⇒ $800=\frac{100x}{675}$ $\therefore x = 5400 $ Hence, the correct answer is 5,400.
Question : Two circles intersect each other at the points A and B. A straight line parallel to AB intersects the circles at C, D, E, and F. If CD = 4.5 cm, then the measure of EF is:
Option 1: 1.50 cm
Option 2: 2.25 cm
Option 3: 4.50 cm
Option 4: 9.00 cm
Correct Answer: 4.50 cm
Solution : The line segments CD and EF are chords of the two intersecting circles. Since the line passing through C, D, E, and F is parallel to AB, and AB is the line of intersection of the two circles, CD and EF are equal in

Question : In how many years will Rs. 40000 amounts to Rs. 46656 at the rate of 8% compound interest per annum.
Option 1: 5
Option 2: 2
Option 3: 4
Option 4: 3
Correct Answer: 2
Solution : Given that Total amount = Rs. 46656, Principal = Rs. 40000, and Rate = 8% Let time be $n$ years. We know that, $\text{Total amount}=\text{Principal}×(1+\frac{\text{Rate}}{100})^{\text{Time}}$ $⇒46656 = 40000 \left(1 + \frac{8}{100}\right)^n$ $ ⇒\frac{46656}{40000}=\left(1 + \frac{8}{100}\right)^n$ $ ⇒\frac{11664}{10000}=\left( \frac{108}{100}\right)^n$ $⇒ (\frac{108}{100})^2=\left( \frac{108}{100}\right)^n$ $\therefore n=2$ Hence, the
