Question : In a hotel, there are 120 staff members. Their average weight is 62.5 kg. When one of the staff members leaves the hotel, the average weight is reduced by 250 g. Find the weight of the staff member who left the hotel.

Option 1: 64.25 kg

Option 2: 78.75 kg

Option 3: 90.50 kg

Option 4: 92.25 kg

Team Careers360 19th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 92.25 kg


Solution : Total number of staff members initially = 120
Their average weight = 62.5 kg
We know, Average = $\frac{\text{Sum of weights}}{\text{Number of people}}$
So, $62.5 = \frac{\text{Sum of weights}}{120}$
or, Sum of weights = 7500 kg
After a staff member left, the number of

Question : If $\tan 40^{\circ}=\alpha$, then find $\frac{\tan 320^{\circ}-\tan 310^{\circ}}{1+\tan 320^{\circ} \cdot \tan 310^{\circ}}$.

Option 1: $\frac{1-\alpha^2}{\alpha}$

Option 2: $\frac{1+\alpha^2}{2 \alpha}$

Option 3: $\frac{1-\alpha^2}{2 \alpha}$

Option 4: $\frac{1+\alpha^2}{a}$

Team Careers360 14th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\frac{1-\alpha^2}{2 \alpha}$


Solution : $\tan 40^{\circ}=\alpha$
$\frac{\tan 320^{\circ}-\tan 310^{\circ}}{1+\tan 320^{\circ} \cdot \tan 310^{\circ}}$
$= \frac{\tan(360°-40°) - \tan(270°+40°)}{1+\tan(360°-40°)\cdot\tan(270°+40°)}$
$= \frac{-\tan 40° + \cot 40°}{1-\tan40° \cdot\cot 40°}$
$= \frac{-\alpha + \frac{1}{\alpha}}{1+\alpha×\frac{1}{\alpha}}$
$= \frac{-\alpha^2 + 1}{2\alpha}$
$=\frac{1-\alpha^2}{2\alpha}$
Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{1-\alpha^2}{2\alpha}$.

Question : What is the value of $\frac{\tan 45^{\circ}-\tan 15^{\circ}}{1+\tan 45^{\circ} \tan 15^{\circ}}$?

Option 1: $\sqrt{3}$

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

Option 3: $\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$

Option 4: ${\sqrt{2}}$

Team Careers360 11th Jan, 2024

Solution : $\frac{\tan 45^{\circ}-\tan 15^{\circ}}{1+\tan 45^{\circ} \tan 15^{\circ}}$
$= \tan (45^{\circ}-15^{\circ})$
$=\tan 30^{\circ}$
$= \frac{1}{\sqrt3}$
Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{1}{\sqrt3}$.

Question : If $x=8(\sin \theta+\cos \theta)$ and $y=9(\sin \theta-\cos \theta)$, then the value of $\frac{x^2}{8^2}+\frac{y^2}{9^2}$ is:

Option 1: 4

Option 2: 6

Option 3: 8

Option 4: 2

Team Careers360 6th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 2


Solution : Given: $x=8(\sin \theta+\cos \theta)$ and $y=9(\sin \theta-\cos \theta)$
Now, $\frac{x^2}{8^2}+\frac{y^2}{9^2}$
= $\frac{[8(\sin \theta+\cos \theta)]^2}{8^2}+\frac{[9(\sin \theta-\cos \theta)]^2}{9^2}$
= $\frac{64(\sin^2 \theta+\cos^2 \theta+2\sin \theta\cos \theta)}{64}+\frac{81(\sin^2 \theta+\cos^2 \theta-2\sin \theta\cos \theta)}{81}$
= $1+2\sin \theta\cos \theta +1-2\sin \theta\cos \theta$
= $2$
Hence, the correct answer is 2.
