Question : If $x=a(\sin\theta+\cos\theta), y=b(\sin\theta-\cos\theta)$, then the value of $\frac{x^2}{a^2}+\frac{y^2}{b^2}$ is:

Option 1: 0

Option 2: 1

Option 3: 2

Option 4: –2

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 2


Solution : Given:
$x=a(\sin\theta+\cos\theta), y=b(\sin\theta-\cos\theta)$
So, $\frac{x}{a}=(\sin\theta+\cos\theta), \frac{y}{a}=(\sin\theta-\cos\theta)$
Now, $\frac{x^2}{a^2}+\frac{y^2}{b^2}$
= $(\sin\theta+\cos\theta)^2+(\sin\theta-\cos\theta)^2$
= $\sin^2\theta+2×\sin\theta×\cos\theta+\cos^2\theta+\sin^2\theta-2×\sin\theta×\cos\theta+\cos^2\theta$
= $\sin^2\theta+\cos^2\theta+\sin^2\theta+\cos^2\theta$
= $1+1$
= $2$
Hence, the correct answer is $2$.

Question : A boat goes a certain distance at 30 km/hr and comes back the same distance at 60 km/hr. What is the average speed (in km/hr) for the total journey?

Option 1: 45 km/hr

Option 2: 50 km/hr

Option 3: 40 km/hr

Option 4: 35 km/hr

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 40 km/hr


Solution : Given: The speed of the boat is 30 km/hr and 60 km/hr for the same distance.
So, average speed = $\frac{2xy}{x+y}$, where $x$ and $y$ are two given speeds of the boat (for the same distance).
Putting the values $x$ = 30 and $y$

Question : If $x+y+z = 22$ and $xy+yz+zx = 35$, then what is the value of $\small (x-y)^{2}+(y-z)^{2}+(z-x)^{2}$?

Option 1: 793

Option 2: 681

Option 3: 758

Option 4: 715

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 758


Solution : Given: $x+y+z = 22$ and $xy+yz+zx = 35$
We know that $(x+y+z)^2 = x^2+y^2+z^2+2(xy+yz+zx)$
⇒ $22^2 = x^2+y^2+z^2+2\times 35$
⇒ $484 = x^2+y^2+z^2+70$
⇒ $x^2+y^2+z^2 = 484-70 = 414$
So, $(x-y)^2+(y-z)^2+(z-x)^2 = 2[x^2+y^2+z^2-(xy+yz+zx)]$
⇒ $(x-y)^2+(y-z)^2+(z-x)^2 = 2[414-35]$
$\therefore(x-y)^2+(y-z)^2+(z-x)^2 = 758$
Hence, the correct answer is

Question : If two successive discounts of 20% and 30% are given, what is the net discount (in %)?

Option 1: 40

Option 2: 44

Option 3: 56

Option 4: 60

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 44


Solution : Single equivalent discount = $(a+b-\frac{a×b}{100}$)%, where $a$% and $b$% are successive discounts.
So, the single discount of two successive discounts of 20% and 30%
$=20+30-\frac{20×30}{100}=44\%$
Hence, the correct answer is 44.
