Question : The value of $\frac{\sin A}{\cot A+\operatorname{cosec} A}-\frac{\sin A}{\cot A-\operatorname{cosec} A}+1$ is:

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

Option 2: $3$

Option 3: $0$

Option 4: $2$

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $3$


Solution : $\frac{\sin A}{\cot A+\operatorname{cosec} A}-\frac{\sin A}{\cot A-\operatorname{cosec} A}+1$
$=\frac{\sin A}{\frac{\cos A}{\sin A}+\frac{1}{\sin A}}-\frac{\sin A}{\frac{\cos A}{\sin A}-\frac{1}{\sin A}}+1$
$=\frac{\sin^2 A}{\cos A+1}-\frac{\sin^2 A}{\cos A-1}+1$
$=\frac{\sin^2 A}{1+\cos A}+\frac{\sin^2 A}{1-\cos A}+1$
$=\sin^2 A[\frac{1}{1+\cos A}+\frac{1}{1-\cos A}]+1$
$=\sin^2 A[\frac{2}{1-\cos ^2A}]+1$
$=\sin^2 A[\frac{2}{\sin ^2A}]+1$
$=2+1$
$=3$
Hence, the correct answer is $3$.

Question : The perimeter of the triangle is 67 cm. The first side is twice the length of the second side. The third side is 11 cm more than the second side. Find the length of the shortest side of the triangle.

Option 1: 12 cm

Option 2: 14 cm

Option 3: 17 cm

Option 4: 25 cm

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 14 cm


Solution : Let the second side of the triangle be x cm.
So, first side = 2x cm
Third side = (x + 11) cm
Given: Perimeter of the triangle = 67 cm
So, 2x + x + x + 11 = 67
⇒ 4x = 56
$\therefore$ x = 14 cm
Hence, the correct answer is 14 cm.

Question : If a2 + b2 = 82 and ab = 9, then a possible value of a3 + b3 is:

Option 1: 720

Option 2: 750

Option 3: 830

Option 4: 730

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 730


Solution : Given,
a2 + b2 = 82
ab = 9
We know,
(a + b)2 = a2 + b2 + 2ab
⇒ (a + b)2 = 82 + 2 × 9
⇒ (a + b)2 = 100
⇒ (a + b) = 10
Now,
(a + b)3 = a3 + b3 + 3ab(a + b)
⇒ (10)3 = a3 + b3 + 3 × 9 × 10
⇒ 1000 = a3 + b3 + 270
$\therefore$ a3 + b3 = 1000 – 270 = 730
Hence, the correct answer is 730.

Question : The given bar graph represents the number of boys and girls in five different schools. Study the graph and answer the question that follows.


What is the average number of boys in schools A, B, C, D and E?

Option 1: 660

Option 2: 616

Option 3: 596

Option 4: 569

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 660


Solution : As per the graph,
The total number of boys in schools A, B, C, D and E = 600 + 450 + 750 + 700 + 800 = 3300
The number of  schools = 5
Average = $\frac{\text{Sum of all the observations}}{{\text{Total number of observations}}}$
The average number of boys in schools = $\frac{3300}{5}$ = 660
Hence, the correct answer is 660.

Question : The value of $1 \frac{2}{5}-\left[3 \frac{3}{4} \div\left\{1 \frac{1}{4} \div \frac{1}{2}\left(1 \frac{1}{2} \times 3 \frac{1}{3} \div 1 \frac{1}{3}\right)\right\}\right]$ is:

Option 1: 3

Option 2: 0

Option 3: 2

Option 4: 1

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 1


Solution : Given: $1 \frac{2}{5}-\left[3 \frac{3}{4} \div\left\{1 \frac{1}{4} \div \frac{1}{2}\left(1 \frac{1}{2} \times 3 \frac{1}{3} \div 1 \frac{1}{3}\right)\right\}\right]$
$=\frac{7}{5}-[\frac{15}{4} \div{\{\frac{5}{4} \div \frac{1}{2}(\frac{3}{2} \times \frac{10}{3} \div \frac{4}{3})}\}]$
$=\frac{7}{5}-[\frac{15}{4} \div{\{\frac{5}{4} \div \frac{1}{2}(\frac{3}{2} \times \frac{10}{3} \times \frac{3}{4})}\}]$
$= \frac{7}{5}-[\frac{15}{4} \div{\{\frac{5}{4} \div \frac{1}{2}\times\frac{15}{4}}\}]$
$= \frac{7}{5}-[\frac{15}{4} \div{\{\frac{5}{2} × \frac{15}{4}}\}]$
$= \frac{7}{5}-[\frac{15}{4} \div\frac{75}{8}]$
$= \frac{7}{5}-\frac{2}{5}$
$= \frac{5}{5}$
$= 1$
Hence, the correct answer is 1.

Question : Study the following chart and answer the question.


The number of A-type employees in 1998 was approximately what % of the number of A-type employees in 1997?

Option 1: 140

Option 2: 115

Option 3: 95

Option 4: 125

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 125


Solution : Number of A-type employees in the year 1997 = $\frac{42980 \times 20}{100}$ = 8,596
Number of A-type employees in the year 1998 = $\frac{48640 \times 22}{100}$ = 10,700
∴ Required percentage = $\frac{10700}{8596} \times 100$ ≈ 125%
Hence, the correct answer is 125.

Question : Directions: Which letter cluster will replace the question mark (?) to complete the given series?
RSBG, NPEI, ?, FJKM, BGNO

Option 1: JMHL

Option 2: JNHK

Option 3: JMHK

Option 4: JMGK

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: JMHK


Solution : Given:
RSBG, NPEI, ?, FJKM, BGNO

In the above-given series, subtract 4 and 3 from the place values of the first and second letters, and add 3 and 2 to the place values of the third and fourth letters to obtain the next letter cluster.
RSBG→R – 4 = N; S – 3 = P; B + 3 = E; G + 2 = I
NPEI→N – 4 = J; P – 3 = M; E + 3 = H; I + 2 = K
JMHK→J – 4 = F; M – 3 = J; H + 3 = K; K + 2 = M
FJKM→F – 4 = B; J – 3 = G; K + 3 = N; M + 2 = O

So, JMHK is the missing term of the series. Hence, the third option is correct.
