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: $\cos A$
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 :
Which among the following has segmented body?
Option 1:
Phylum mollusca
Option 2:
Phylum arthopoda
Option 3: Phylum annelida
Option 4: Phylum coelenterata
Correct Answer: Phylum annelida
Solution : The correct option is Phylum annelida.
Annelida is an animal phylum that comprises segmented worms. These worms are distinguished by their body segments, known as metameres, which are connected by septa (dividing walls). Annelids live in a variety of environments, including marine, freshwater, and
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
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: $3$
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
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
