Question : If $\frac{\cos \theta}{1-\sin \theta}+\frac{\cos \theta}{1+\sin \theta}=4,0^{\circ}<\theta<90^{\circ}$, then what is the value of $(\sec \theta+\operatorname{cosec} \theta+\cot \theta) ?$

Option 1: $1+2 \sqrt{3}$

Option 2: $\frac{1+2 \sqrt{3}}{3}$

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

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

Team Careers360 24th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $2+\sqrt{3}$


Solution : Given,
$\frac{\cos \theta}{1-\sin \theta}+\frac{\cos \theta}{1+\sin \theta}=4$
⇒ $\frac{\cos\theta(1+\sin\theta)+\cos\theta(1-\sin\theta)}{(1+\sin\theta)(1-\sin\theta)}=4$
⇒ $\frac{\cos\theta+\sin\theta\cos\theta+\cos\theta-\sin\theta\cos\theta}{(1+\sin\theta)(1-\sin\theta)}=4$
⇒ $\frac{2\cos\theta}{1-\sin^2\theta}=4$ [As $\sin^2\theta+\cos^2\theta=1$]
⇒ $\frac{\cos\theta}{\cos^2\theta}=2$
⇒ $\cos\theta=\frac{1}{2}$
⇒ $\theta=60°$
Now, $\sec \theta+\operatorname{cosec} \theta+\cot \theta=\sec60°+\operatorname{cosec}60°+\cot60°$
$=2+\frac{2}{\sqrt3}+\frac1{\sqrt3}$
$=\frac{2\sqrt3+2+1}{\sqrt3}$
$=\frac{2\sqrt3+3}{\sqrt3}$
$=2+\sqrt3$
Hence, the correct answer is $2+\sqrt3$.

Question : A canister holds 36 litres of a mixture of milk and water in a ratio of 3 : 1. 15 litres of milk is added to the canister. The new ratio of the mixture is:

Option 1: 12 : 5

Option 2: 14 : 3

Option 3: 7 : 4

Option 4: 9 : 4

Team Careers360 23rd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 14 : 3


Solution : Given: A canister holds 36 litres of a mixture of milk and water in a ratio of 3 : 1.
Quantity of milk = $\frac{3}{4} × 36 = 27$
Quantity of water = $\frac{1}{4} × 36 = 9$
After adding 15 litres of

Question : Directions: In the following question a series is given, with one number missing. select the missing number from the given alternatives.
84, 42, 28, 21, ?

Option 1: 10.5

Option 2: 16.8

Option 3: 18.4

Option 4: 19.6

Team Careers360 19th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 16.8


Solution : Given:
84, 42, 28, 21, ?

Let's apply the pattern –
84 ÷ (1 + $\frac{1}{1}$) = 42; 42 ÷ (1 + $\frac{1}{2}$) = 28; 28 ÷ (1 + $\frac{1}{3}$) = 21; 21 ÷ (1 + $\frac{1}{4}$) = 16.8

So, 16.8 is the missing term

Question : The value of $\tan1° \tan2° \tan3°...\tan89°$ is:

Option 1: $1$

Option 2: $0$

Option 3: $\sqrt{3}$

Option 4: $\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$

Team Careers360 24th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $1$


Solution : $\tan1° \tan2° \tan3°...\tan89°$
$= \tan1° \tan2° \tan3°...\tan45°...\tan(90-3)°\tan(90-2)°\tan(90-1)°$
$=\tan1° \tan2° \tan3°...\tan45°...\cot3°\cot2°\cot1°$
As we know, $\tan\theta=\frac{1}{\cot\theta}$
So, it will cancel out all the terms except $\tan45°$.
$=\tan45°$
$= 1$
Hence, the correct answer is $1$.

Question : Directions: If P denotes ×, Q denotes ÷, R denotes +, and S denotes –, then what will come in place of (?) in the following equation?
$\sqrt[4]{81}$ R 6 P 3 S 26 R 64 = ?

Option 1: 63

Option 2: 65

Option 3: 56

Option 4: 59

Team Careers360 21st Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 59


Solution : Given:
$\sqrt[4]{81}$ R 6 P 3 S 26 R 64 = ?

After replacing the letters with the mathematical signs, we get:
= $\sqrt[4]{81}$ + 6 × 3 – 26 + 64
= 3 + 6 × 3 – 26 + 64
= 3 +
