Question : If $p=\frac{5}{18}$, then $27p^{3}–\frac{1}{216}–\frac{9}{2}p^{2}+\frac{1}{4}p$ is equal to:

Option 1: $\frac{4}{27}$

Option 2: $\frac{5}{27}$

Option 3: $\frac{8}{27}$

Option 4: $\frac{10}{27}$

Team Careers360 15th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\frac{8}{27}$


Solution : Given: $p=\frac{5}{18}$
So, $27p^{3}–\frac{1}{216}–\frac{9}{2}p^{2}+\frac{1}{4}p$
Putting the value of $p=\frac{5}{18}$ in the expression,
= $27×(\frac{5}{18})^{3}–\frac{1}{216}–\frac{9}{2}×(\frac{5}{18})^{2}+\frac{1}{4}×\frac{5}{18}$
= $27×(\frac{125}{18×18×18})–\frac{1}{216}–\frac{9}{2}×(\frac{25}{18×18})+\frac{1}{4}×\frac{5}{18}$
= $\frac{125}{216}–\frac{1}{216}–\frac{25}{72}+\frac{5}{72}$
= $\frac{124}{216}–\frac{20}{72}$
= $\frac{124–60}{216}$
= $\frac{64}{216}$
= $\frac{8}{27}$
Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{8}{27}$.

Question : If $21 \tan \theta=20$, then $(1+\sin \theta+\cos \theta):(1-\sin \theta+\cos \theta)=$?

Option 1: 5 : 2

Option 2: 3 : 1

Option 3: 7 : 3

Option 4: 2 : 1

Team Careers360 18th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 7 : 3


Solution : Given: $21 \tan \theta=20$
⇒ $\tan \theta = \frac{20}{21}=\frac{\text{Perpendicular}}{\text{Base}}$
Let the perpendicular and the base be 20 units and 21 units respectively.
Use the formulas,
$\tan \theta=\frac{\text{Perpendicular}}{\text{Base}}$,
$\sin \theta=\frac{\text{Perpendicular}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}$,
$\cos \theta=\frac{\text{Base}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}$,
Pythagoras's theorem: $\text{Hypotenuse}^2=\text{Base}^2+\text{Perpendicular}^2$
⇒ $\text{Hypotenuse}^2={21}^2+{20}^2$
⇒ $\text{Hypotenuse}^2=441+400$
⇒ $\text{Hypotenuse}^2=841$
⇒ $\text{Hypotenuse}=\sqrt{841}$
