Question : The value of (1+ sin4 A – cos4 A) cosec2 A is:
Option 1: –2
Option 2: 2
Option 3: 1
Option 4: –1
Correct Answer: 2
Solution : (1+ sin4 A – cos4 A) cosec2 A = [1+ (sin2 A)2 – (cos2 A)2] cosec2 A = [1+ (sin2 A + cos2 A)(sin2 A – cos2 A)] cosec2 A =
Question : Directions: If + means –, – means ×, × means ÷, ÷ means +, then what will come in place of the question mark (?) in the following equation? 137 ÷ 56 × 7 – 6 + 31 = ?

Option 2: 163
Option 3: 145
Option 4: 154
Correct Answer: 154
Solution : Given: + means –, – means ×, × means ÷, ÷ means + 137 ÷ 56 × 7 – 6 + 31 = ?

Question : Find the greatest number which when divided 261, 853, and 1221, leaves a remainder of 5 in each case.
Option 1: 19
Option 2: 18
Option 3: 17
Option 4: 16
Correct Answer: 16
Solution : The greatest number that divides 261, 853, and 1221, leaving a remainder of 5 in each case, is the greatest common divisor (GCD) of (261 – 5), (853 – 5), and (1221 – 5). So, we need to find the GCD of 256, 848, and
Question : What is the value of the following in terms of trigonometric ratios? $\frac{\sin A}{1+\cos A}+\frac{1+\cos A}{\sin A}$
Option 1: $2\operatorname{cosec A}$
Option 2: $2\operatorname{cos A}$
Option 3: $2\operatorname{sec A}$
Option 4: $2\operatorname{sin A}$
Correct Answer: $2\operatorname{cosec A}$
Solution : $\frac{\sin A}{1+\cos A}+\frac{1+\cos A}{\sin A}$ $=\frac{\sin^2 A + (1 + \cos A)^2}{\sin A (1 + \cos A)}$ $=\frac{\sin^2 A +1 + 2\cos A + \cos^2 A}{\sin A (1 + \cos A)}$ $=\frac{2 + 2\cos A}{\sin A (1 + \cos A)}$ [$\because \sin^2 A +
Question : The radius of the base of a cylinder is 14 cm and its volume is 6160 cm3. The curved surface area (in cm2) is: (Take $\pi=\frac{22}{7}$)
Option 1: 778
Option 2: 880
Option 3: 660
Option 4: 940
Correct Answer: 880
Solution : The volume of a cylinder, $V = \pi r^2 h$, where $r$ is the radius and $h$ is the height. ⇒ $h = \frac{V}{\pi r^2}$ Given that $V = 6160 \, \text{cm}^3$, $r = 14 \, \text{cm}$, and $\pi = \frac{22}{7}$ $\therefore h = \frac{6160}{\frac{22}{7}
