Option 2: 75%
Option 3: 100%
Option 4: 95%
Correct Answer: 75%
Solution : Given: Both first and second discounts = 50% Net discount = $(x+y-\frac{xy}{100})$%, where $x$ and $y$ are two successive discounts. = $50+50-\frac{\text{50×50}}{100}$ = $100-\frac{\text{2500}}{100}$ = $100-25$ = $75$% Hence, the correct answer is 75%.
Question : The value of $\sqrt{\frac{1+\sin A}{1-\sin A}}$ is:
Option 1: $\sec A-\tan A$
Option 2: $\operatorname{cosec} A+\cot A$
Option 3: $\sec A+\tan A$
Option 4: $\operatorname{cosec} A-\cot A$
Correct Answer: $\sec A+\tan A$
Solution : $\sqrt{\frac{1+\sin A}{1-\sin A}}$ = $\sqrt{\frac{(1+\sin A)^2}{(1-\sin A)(1+\sin A)}}$ = $\sqrt{\frac{(1+\sin A)^2}{1-\sin^2 A}}$ = $\sqrt{\frac{(1+\sin A)^2}{\cos^2 A}}$ = $\frac{(1+\sin A)}{\cos A}$ = $\sec A + \tan A$ Hence, the correct answer is $\sec A + \tan A$.
