Question : What is the value of $\frac{\cos 50^{\circ}}{\sin 40^{\circ}}+\frac{3 \operatorname{cosec} 80^{\circ}}{\sec 10^{\circ}}–2 \cos 50^{\circ} \operatorname{cosec} 40^{\circ}$?

Option 1: 3

Option 2: 2

Option 3: 5

Option 4: 4

Team Careers360 19th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 2


Solution : Given: The trigonometric expression is $\frac{\cos 50^{\circ}}{\sin 40^{\circ}}+\frac{3 \operatorname{cosec} 80^{\circ}}{\sec 10^{\circ}}-2 \cos 50^{\circ} \operatorname{cosec} 40^{\circ}$.
Use the trigonometric formulas, $\cos( 90^{\circ}- \theta) =\sin \theta$, $\operatorname{cosec}( 90^{\circ}-\theta)=\sec \theta$ and $\sin \theta=\frac{1}{\operatorname{cosec}\theta}$.
$\frac{\cos 50^{\circ}}{\sin 40^{\circ}}+\frac{3 \operatorname{cosec} 80^{\circ}}{\sec 10^{\circ}}-2 \cos 50^{\circ} \operatorname{cosec} 40^{\circ}$
$=\frac{\cos( 90^{\circ}-40^{\circ} ) }{\sin 40^{\circ}}+\frac{3

Question : 40 litres of milk are kept in a container. 4 litres of milk were removed from this container and replaced with water. This procedure was performed two more times. How much milk does the container now hold?

Option 1: 30 litres

Option 2: 34.23 litres

Option 3: 29.16 litres

Option 4: 32 litres

Team Careers360 8th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 29.16 litres

The quantity of pure liquid in the final mixture = $a[1-\frac{b}{a}]^n$
Here, $a$ = 40 litres, $b$ = 4
