Question : If $\sin A=\frac{1}{2}$, then the value of $(\tan A+\cos A)$ is:

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

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

Option 3: $\frac{5}{2 \sqrt{3}}$

Option 4: $\frac{5}{3 \sqrt{3}}$

Team Careers360 17th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\frac{5}{2 \sqrt{3}}$


Solution : Given: $\sin A=\frac{1}{2}$
⇒ $\sin A=\sin 30^\circ$
⇒ $ A= 30^\circ$
$\therefore (\tan A+\cos A)$
= $(\tan 30^\circ+\cos 30^\circ)$
= $\frac{1}{\sqrt3}+\frac{\sqrt3}{2}$
= $\frac{2+3}{2\sqrt3}$
= $\frac{5}{2\sqrt3}$
Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{5}{2\sqrt3}$.

Question : If $(2x - 5y)^3 - (2x+5y)^3 = y[Ax^2 + By^2]$, then what is the value of $(2A - B)$?

Option 1: 25

Option 2: 10

Option 3: 15

Option 4: 40

Team Careers360 20th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 10


Solution : According to the question,
$(2x - 5y)^3 - (2x+5y)^3 = y[Ax^2 + By^2]$
⇒ $[2x - 5y - 2x - 5y][4x^{2} + 25y^{2} + 20 xy + 4x^{2} - 25y^{2}] = y[Ax^{2} + By^{2}]$
⇒ $[-10y] [ 12x^{2} + 25y^{2}] =  y[Ax^{2} + By^{2}]$

Question : If $\frac{x}{y}+\frac{y}{x}=1$ and $x+y=2$, then the value of $x^3+y^3$ is:

Option 1: 1

Option 2: 3

Option 3: 0

Option 4: 2

Team Careers360 24th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 0


Solution : $\frac{x}{y}+\frac{y}{x}=1$ and $x+y=2$
$⇒\frac{x^2+y^2}{xy}=1$
$⇒{x^2+y^2}=xy$ ___(i)
$x^3+y^3=(x+y)(x^2+y^2-xy)$
From (i),
$⇒x^3+y^3=0$
Hence, the correct answer is 0.
