Question : If $\cos \theta=\frac{5}{13}$, then the value of $\tan ^2 \theta+\sec ^2 \theta$ is equal to:

Option 1: $\frac{303}{25}$

Option 2: $\frac{313}{25}$

Option 3: $\frac{233}{25}$

Option 4: $\frac{323}{25}$

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\frac{313}{25}$


Solution : Given: The value of $\cos \theta=\frac{5}{13}$.
Use the trigonometric identity, $\sin^2 \theta +cos^2 \theta=1$.
$\tan ^2 \theta+\sec ^2 \theta=\frac{\sin^2 \theta}{\cos^2 \theta}+\frac{1}{\cos^2 \theta}$
= $\frac{\sin^2 \theta+1}{\cos^2 \theta}$
= $\frac{1–cos^2 \theta+1}{\cos^2 \theta}$
= $\frac{2–cos^2 \theta}{\cos^2 \theta}$
= $\frac{2–(\frac{5}{13})^2}{(\frac{5}{13})^2}$
= $\frac{2–\frac{25}{169}}{\frac{25}{169}}$
= $\frac{(338–25)\times 169}{169\times 25}$
= $\frac{313}{25}$
Hence,

Question : In equilateral $\triangle $ABC, D and E are points on the sides AB and AC, respectively, such that AD = CE. BE and CD intersect at F. The measure (in degrees) of $\angle $CFB is:

Option 1: 120°

Option 2: 135°

Option 3: 125°

Option 4: 105°

Team Careers360 8th Jan, 2024

AD = CE (Given)
$\angle $B = $ \angle $C   (each angle is 60º)
BC = AC (sides of an equilateral triangle)
$\triangle CBE \cong \triangle ACD$ [SAS congruency]
So, the three angles of these two triangles are
