Option 1: Rs. 3,200

Option 2: Rs. 2,400

Option 3: Rs. 2,200

Option 4: Rs. 3,400

Team Careers360 24th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Rs. 2,200


Solution : Given:
Principal = Rs. 2,000
Rate (R) = 5%
Time = 2 years,
Simple interest = $\frac{\text{Principal×Rate×Time}}{100}$
⇒ Simple interest $=\frac{2000×5×2}{100}$
⇒ Simple interest $=200$
∴ Required amount = Principal + Simple interest = Rs.(2000 + 200) = Rs. 2200

Question : If $pq(p+q)=1$, then the value of $\frac{1}{p^{3}q^{3}}-p^{3}-q^{3}$ is equal to:

Option 1: 1

Option 2: 2

Option 3: 3

Option 4: 4

Team Careers360 23rd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 3


Solution : Given: $pq(p+q)=1$
⇒ $(p+q)=\frac{1}{pq}$
Cubing both sides,
⇒ $p^3+q^3+3pq(p+q)=\frac{1}{p^3q^3}$
Thus,
$\frac{1}{p^3q^3}–p^3–q^3= 3pq(p+q)$
Putting the value of $(p+q)=\frac{1}{pq}$
$= \frac{3}{pq}(pq)$
$=3$
$\therefore\frac{1}{p^3q^3}–p^3–q^3=3$
Hence, the correct answer is 3.

Question : The value of $\text{cot 17°}(\text{cot 73°} \cos^{2}22°+\frac{1}{\cot 17°\sec^{2}68°})$ is:

Option 1: $0$

Option 2: $1$

Option 3: $2$

Option 4: $\sqrt{3}$

Team Careers360 17th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $1$


Solution : Use: $\cot 73°= \tan(90°-73°)= \tan17°$ and $\cos^{2}22° = \cos^{2}(90°-68°) = \sin^2 68°$
$\text{cot 17°}(\text{cot 73°} \cos^{2}22°+\frac{1}{\cot17°\sec^{2}68°})$
= $\text{cot 17°}(\text{tan 17°} \sin^{2}68°+{\tan17°\cos^{2}68°})$
= $\text{cot 17°}[\text{tan 17°}(\sin^{2}68°+\cos^{2}68°)]$
= $\text{cot 17°}\text{tan 17°}$ [$\because(\sin^{2}68°+\cos^{2}68°)=1]$
= $\text{cot 17°}\frac{1}{\cot 17°}$
= $1$
Hence, the correct answer is 1.
