Question : If A is an acute angle, the simplified form of
$\frac{\cos (\pi-A) \cdot \cot \left(\frac{\pi}{2}+A\right) \cos (-A)}{\tan (\pi+A) \tan \left(\frac{3 \pi}{2}+A\right) \sin (2 \pi-A)}$ is:

Option 1: $ \cos^2 A$

Option 2: $\sin A$

Option 3: $\sin^2 A$

Option 4: $\cos A$

Team Careers360 8th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\cos A$


Solution : $\frac{\cos (\pi-A) \cdot \cot \left(\frac{\pi}{2}+A\right) \cos (-A)}{\tan (\pi+A) \tan \left(\frac{3 \pi}{2}+A\right) \sin (2 \pi-A)}$
$=\frac{-\cos A \ \cdot (-\tan A) \ \cdot \cos A}{\tan A \ \cdot (-\cot A) (-\sin A)}$
$= \frac{\cos^2 A \ \cdot \tan A}{\sin A}$
$= \frac{\cos^2 A \ \cdot

Question : In the given $\triangle{ABC}, DE \parallel BC$. If $BC=8 \text{ cm}$, $DE=6 \text{ cm}$, and the area of $\triangle ADE=90 \text{ cm}^2$, what is the area of $\triangle ABC$?

Option 1: 140

Option 2: 120

Option 3: 160

Option 4: 180

Team Careers360 22nd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 160


Solution :
Given: $DE\parallel BC$ and $DE = 6\text{ cm}$, $BC = 8\text{ cm}$, and area of ($\triangle ADE) = 90 \text{ cm}^2$
Since $DE\parallel BC$, $\triangle ADE$ and $\triangle ABC$ are similar.
So, $\frac{(Area \ of \ \triangle ADE)}{(Area \ of \  \triangle ABC)} = \frac{DE^2}{BC^2}$

Question : If $\frac{\sqrt{5+x}+\sqrt{5-x}}{\sqrt{5+x}-\sqrt{5-x}}=3$, what is the value of $x$?

Option 1: $\frac{5}{2}$

Option 2: $\frac{25}{3}$

Option 3: $4$

Option 4: $3$

Team Careers360 24th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $3$


Solution : Given:
$\frac{\sqrt{5+x}+\sqrt{5-x}}{\sqrt{5+x}-\sqrt{5-x}}=3$
Take $a=(\sqrt{5+x}+\sqrt{5-x})$, $b=(\sqrt{5+x}-\sqrt{5-x}), m=3$ and $n=1$.
Applying the rule of componendo and dividendo,
$\frac{a}{b}=\frac{m}{n}$ ⇒ $\frac{a+b}{a-b}=\frac{m+n}{m-n}$
Now, $\frac{\sqrt{5+x}+\sqrt{5-x}}{\sqrt{5+x}-\sqrt{5-x}}=3$
⇒ $\frac{\sqrt{5+x}+\sqrt{5-x}+\sqrt{5+x}-\sqrt{5-x}}{\sqrt{5+x}+\sqrt{5-x}- \sqrt{5+x}+\sqrt{5-x}}=\frac{3+1}{3-1}$
⇒ $\frac{\sqrt{5+x}+\sqrt{5+x}}{\sqrt{5-x}+\sqrt{5-x}}=\frac{4}{2}$
⇒ $\frac{2\sqrt{5+x}}{2\sqrt{5-x}}=\frac{4}{2}$
⇒ $\frac{\sqrt{5+x}}{\sqrt{5-x}}=2$
Squaring both sides, we get,
⇒ $\left(\frac{\sqrt{5+x}}{\sqrt{5-x}}\right)^{2}=2^{2}$
⇒ $\frac{5+x}{5-x}=4$
⇒ $5+x=20-4x$
⇒ $5x=15$
$\therefore x=3$
Hence,

Question : Ramesh purchases a table and a chair for Rs.3,900. He sells the table at a profit of 8% and the chair at a profit of 16%. He earns a profit of Rs.540. What is the difference between the original price of the table and the chair?

Option 1: Rs. 2,000

Option 2: Rs. 1,800

Option 3: Rs. 1,900

Option 4: Rs. 1,700

Team Careers360 21st Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Rs. 1,800


Solution : Let the original price of the chair be Rs. Q.
The original price of the table = Rs. (3900 – Q)
According to the question,
Q × 16% + (3900 – Q) × 8% = 540
⇒ 16Q + 3900 × 8 – 8Q
