Question : If $\operatorname{cosec}\theta-\sin\theta=l$ and $\sec\theta-\cos\theta=m$, then the value of $l^2m^2(l^2+m^2+3)$ is:

Option 1: $–1$

Option 2: $0$

Option 3: $1$

Option 4: $2$

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $1$


Solution : Given:
$\operatorname{cosec}\theta-\sin\theta=l$ and $\sec\theta-\cos\theta=m$, $l^2m^2(l^2+m^2+3)$
$=(\operatorname{cosec}\theta-\sin\theta)^2(\sec\theta-\cos\theta)^2[(\operatorname{cosec}\theta-\sin\theta)^2+(\sec\theta-\cos\theta)^2+3]$
$= (\frac{1}{\sin\theta}-\sin\theta)^2(\frac{1}{\cos\theta}-\cos\theta)^2[(\frac{1}{\sin\theta}-\sin\theta)^2+(\frac{1}{\cos\theta}-\cos\theta)^2+3]$
$=(\frac{1-\sin^2\theta}{\sin\theta})^2(\frac{1-\cos^2\theta}{\cos\theta})^2[(\frac{1-\sin^2\theta}{\sin\theta})^2+(\frac{1-\cos^2\theta}{\cos\theta})^2+3]$
$=(\frac{cos^2\theta}{\sin\theta})^2(\frac{\sin^2\theta}{\cos\theta})^2[(\frac{\cos^2\theta}{\sin\theta})^2+(\frac{\sin^2\theta}{\cos\theta})^2+3]$
$=(\frac{\cos^4\theta}{\sin^2\theta})(\frac{\sin^4\theta}{\cos^2\theta})[(\frac{\cos^4\theta}{\sin^2\theta})+(\frac{\sin^4\theta}{\cos^2\theta})+3]$
$= \sin^2\theta \cos^2\theta[\frac{\cos^6\theta+\sin^6\theta+3\sin^2\theta \cos^2\theta}{\sin^2\theta \cos^2\theta}]$
$= \cos^6\theta+\sin^6\theta+3\sin^2\theta \cos^2\theta$
$=(\cos^2\theta)^3+\sin^2\theta)^3+3\sin^2\theta \cos^2\theta$
$=(\cos^2\theta+\sin^2\theta)^3-3\cos^2\theta \sin^2\theta(\cos^2\theta+\sin^2\theta)+3\sin^2\theta \cos^2\theta$
$=1^3-3\cos^2\theta \sin^2\theta(1)+3\sin^2\theta \cos^2\theta$
$=1$
Hence, the correct answer is $1$.

Question : The angle between the graph of the linear equation $239x-239y+5=0$ and the x-axis is:

Option 1:

Option 2: 60°

Option 3: 30°

Option 4: 45°

Team Careers360 24th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 45°


Solution : Given: $239x-239y+5=0$
$\therefore$ Slope = $\frac{-239}{-239}$ = 1
So, $\tan\theta= 1=\tan 45°$
$\therefore\theta = 45°$
Hence, the correct answer is 45°.

Question : The average marks of 100 students were initially calculated as 40. Later, it was discovered that a score of 53 was misread as 83. What is the correct average mark after fixing this misread score?

Option 1: 38.7

Option 2: 39

Option 3: 39.7

Option 4: 41

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 39.7


Solution : Given: The average marks of 100 students were found to be 40.
It was discovered that a score of 53 was misread as 83.
Difference = 83 – 53 = 30
$\therefore$ Final average = 40 – $\frac{30}{100}$ = 39.7
Hence, the correct answer is

Question : If a shop-keeper purchases cashew nuts at Rs. 250 per kg and sells them at Rs. 10 per 50 gm, then he makes a:

Option 1: 25% loss

Option 2: 25% profit

Option 3: 20% profit

Option 4: 20% loss

So, CP of 50 gm of cashew nut = $\frac{250}{1000}$ × 50 = Rs. 12.5
The selling price (SP) of 50 gm of cashew nut = Rs. 10
