Question : If $\frac{1}{\operatorname{cosec} \theta+1}+\frac{1}{\operatorname{cosec} \theta-1}=2 \sec \theta, 0^{\circ}<\theta<90^{\circ}$, then the value of $\frac{\tan \theta+2 \sec \theta}{\operatorname{cosec} \theta}$ is:

Option 1: $\frac{4+\sqrt{2}}{2}$

Option 2: $\frac{2+\sqrt{3}}{2}$

Option 3: $\frac{4+\sqrt{3}}{2}$

Option 4: $\frac{2+\sqrt{2}}{2}$

Team Careers360 23rd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\frac{4+\sqrt{2}}{2}$


Solution : Given: $\frac{1}{\operatorname{cosec} \theta+1}+\frac{1}{\operatorname{cosec} \theta-1}=2 \sec \theta$
⇒ $\frac{\operatorname{cosec} \theta - 1 + \operatorname{cosec} \theta + 1}{\operatorname{cosec}^2 \theta - 1} = 2 \sec \theta$
⇒ $\frac{2 \operatorname{cosec} \theta}{\operatorname{cosec}^2 \theta - 1} = 2 \sec \theta$
⇒ $\operatorname{cosec} \theta = \sec \theta (\operatorname{cosec}^2 \theta - 1)$

Question : Directions: In a certain code language, ROBOT is written as BOTOR, and BRING is written as INGRB. How will PANTS be written in that language?

Option 1: STNAP

Option 2: NAPTS

Option 3: NTSAP

Option 4: NTSPA

Team Careers360 22nd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: NTSAP


Solution : Given:
ROBOT is written as BOTOR and BRING is written as INGRB.

Shuffle the position of the letters of the words ROBOT and BRING to get the required codes.

So, ROBOT is written as BOTOR.

So, BRING is written as INGRB.
Similarly, follow the same

Question : If $\triangle ABC$ is right-angled at B, AB = 30 units and $\angle ACB=60°$, what is the value of AC?

Option 1: $20$ units

Option 2: $20\sqrt3$ units

Option 3: $40$ units

Option 4: $60$ units

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $20\sqrt3$ units


Solution :
$\triangle ABC$ is right-angled at B.
$\sin\theta$ = $\frac{\text{Perpendicular}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}$
⇒ $\sin 60°$ = $\frac{AB}{AC}$
⇒ $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} = \frac{30}{AC}$
⇒ AC = $\frac{60}{\sqrt{3}}$
$\therefore$ AC = $20\sqrt{3}$ units
Hence, the correct answer is $20\sqrt{3}$ units.
