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: $2$
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
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 : Directions: Which letter cluster will replace the question mark (?) in the following series? KAP, MIN, IUR, OEL, GOT, ?
Option 1: PUJ
Option 2: QAJ
Option 3: PAK
Option 4: QUK
Correct Answer: QAJ

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
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
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
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
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
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.
