Question : Direction: The ratio of the number of girls to the number of boys in a town is 90%. If the total number of boys and girls in the town is 190, how many girls are in the town?

Option 1: 100

Option 2: 110

Option 3: 90

 

Option 4: 80

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 90

 


Solution : Let the number of girls be x and the number of boys be y.

The ratio of the number of girls to the number of boys in a town is 90%.

\Rightarrow \frac{x}{y}=90%

\Rightarrow \frac{x}{y}=\frac{90}{100}

\Rightarrow \frac{x}{y}=0.9

x=0.9y

The total number of boys and girls in the town is 190.

x+y=190

Question : If $\operatorname{cosec} \theta+\cot \theta=2$, then what is the value of $\operatorname{cosec} \theta$?

Option 1: $\frac{5}{4}$

Option 2: $\sqrt{2}$

Option 3: $\sqrt{5}$

Option 4: $\frac{3}{2}$

Team Careers360 21st Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\frac{5}{4}$


Solution : We know that,
$\operatorname{cosec}^2\theta-\operatorname{cot}^2\theta=(\operatorname{cosec}\theta-\operatorname{cot}\theta)(\operatorname{cosec}\theta+\operatorname{cot}\theta)=1$
$⇒(\operatorname{cosec}\theta-\operatorname{cot}\theta)=\frac{1}{2}$ ----------------(1)
Given,
$\operatorname{cosec} \theta+\cot \theta=2$ ------------------(2)
Solving the above equations, we get,
$\operatorname{cosec} \theta=\frac{5}{4}$
Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{5}{4}$.
