Question : If $(\frac{\sec \theta-1}{\sec \theta+1})^n=\operatorname{cosec} \theta-\cot \theta$, then $n=?$

Option 1: 1

Option 2: 0.5

Option 3: –1

Option 4: –0.5

Team Careers360 18th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 0.5


Solution : Given expression,
$(\frac{\sec \theta-1}{\sec \theta+1})^n=\operatorname{cosec} \theta-\cot \theta$
Considering L.H.S.,
We know, $\sec\theta=\frac{1}{\cos\theta}$
= $\left\{\frac{\frac{1}{\cos\theta}-1}{\frac{1}{\cos\theta}+1}\right\}^n$
= $\left\{\frac{1-\cos\theta}{1+\cos\theta}\right\}^n$
Multiplying and dividing by $1-\cos\theta$, we get,
= $\left\{\frac{1-\cos\theta}{1+\cos\theta}\times\frac{1-\cos\theta}{1-\cos\theta}\right\}^n$
= $\left\{\frac{(1-\cos\theta)^2}{1-\cos^2\theta}\right\}^n$
= $\left\{\frac{(1-\cos\theta)^2}{\sin^2\theta}\right\}^n$
Now consider R.H.S,
$\operatorname{cosec} \theta-\cot \theta$
We know, $\operatorname{cosec} \theta=\frac{1}{\sin\theta}$ and $\cot\theta=\frac{\cos\theta}{\sin\theta}$
= $\frac{1}{\sin\theta}-\frac{\cos\theta}{\sin\theta}$
= $\frac{1-\cos\theta}{\sin\theta}$

Question : In a survey, 200 respondents were asked whether they owned a vehicle or not. Their responses are tabulated below.
What percentage of respondents do NOT own a car?

  Men Women
Own Vehicle Scooter 30 20
Car 25 10
Both 15 5
Do not own a vehicle 50 45

Option 1: 68.5%

Option 2: 75%

Option 3: 65%

Option 4: 72.5%

Team Careers360 21st Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 72.5%


Solution : Given: In a survey, 200 respondents were asked whether they owned a vehicle or not.
The percentage of respondents who do not own a car
$=\frac{\text{Total respondents who do not own a car}}{\text{Total respondents}}×100=\frac{30+50 + 20 + 45}{200}\times 100=\frac{145}{200}=72.5\%$
Hence, the correct answer is 72.5%.

Question : If 34N is divisible by 11, then what is the value of N?

Option 1: 1

Option 2: 3

Option 3: 4

Option 4: 9

Team Careers360 18th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 1


Solution : Check divisibility by 11
⇒ Sum of digits in odd places – Sum of digits in even places = 0 or multiple of 11.
⇒ (3 + N) – 4 = 0
⇒ N = 1
Hence, the correct answer is 1.

Question : Find the value of $\sqrt{\frac{1-\tan A}{1+\tan A}}$.

Option 1: $\sqrt{\frac{1+\sin 2 A}{\cos 2 A}}$

Option 2: $\sqrt{\frac{1-\sin 2 A}{\cos 2 A}}$

Option 3: $\sqrt{\frac{1+\sin A}{\cos A}}$

Option 4: $\sqrt{\frac{1-\sin A}{\cos A}}$

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\sqrt{\frac{1-\sin 2 A}{\cos 2 A}}$


Solution : Given expression,
$\sqrt{\frac{1-\tan A}{1+\tan A}}$
= $\sqrt{\frac{1-\frac{\sin A}{\cos A}}{1+\frac{\sin A}{\cos A}}}$
= $\sqrt{\frac{\cos A-\sin A}{\cos A+\sin A}}$
Multiplying and dividing by $\sqrt{\cos A-\sin A}$
$\sqrt{\frac{\cos A-\sin A}{\cos A+\sin A}}\times\sqrt{\frac{\cos A-\sin A}{\cos A-\sin }}$
= $\sqrt{\frac{(\cos A-\sin A)^2}{(\cos A+\sin A)(\cos A-\sin A)}}$
