Question : The value of $\frac{3\left(\cot ^2 47^{\circ}-\sec ^2 43^{\circ}\right)-2\left(\tan ^2 23^{\circ}-\operatorname{cosec}^2 67^{\circ}\right)}{\operatorname{cosec}^2\left(68^{\circ}+\theta\right)-\tan \left(\theta+61^{\circ}\right)-\tan ^2\left(22^{\circ}-\theta\right)+\cot \left(29^{\circ}-\theta\right)}$ is:
Option 1: –1
Option 2: 1
Option 3: 5
Option 4: 0
Correct Answer: –1
Solution : Given: $\frac{3\left(\cot ^2 47^{\circ}-\sec ^2 43^{\circ}\right)-2\left(\tan ^2 23^{\circ}-\operatorname{cosec}^2 67^{\circ}\right)}{\operatorname{cosec}^2\left(68^{\circ}+\theta\right)-\tan \left(\theta+61^{\circ}\right)-\tan ^2\left(22^{\circ}-\theta\right)+\cot \left(29^{\circ}-\theta\right)}$ = $\frac{3\left(\cot ^2(90^{\circ}- 43^{\circ})-\sec ^2 43^{\circ}\right)-2\left(\tan ^2 23^{\circ}-\operatorname {cosec^2} (90^{\circ}-23^{\circ})\right)}{\sec^2\left(90^{\circ}-(68^{\circ}+\theta)\right)-\cot \left(90^{\circ}-(\theta+61^{\circ})\right)-\tan ^2\left(22^{\circ}-\theta\right)+\cot \left(29^{\circ}-\theta\right)}$ = $\frac{3\left(\tan ^243^{\circ}-\sec ^2 43^{\circ}\right)-2\left(\tan ^2 23^{\circ}-\sec^2 23^{\circ}\right)}{\sec^2\left(22^{\circ}-\theta\right)-\cot \left(29^{\circ}-\theta\right)-\tan ^2\left(22^{\circ}-\theta\right)+\cot \left(29^{\circ}-\theta\right)}$ = $\frac{(3× -1)-(2×(-1))}{1}$ = $\frac{-3+2}{1}$ = $-1$ Hence, the
Question : According to Mendeleev's periodic table, what was the atomic mass of eka-Aluminium which was later replaced by Gallium?
Option 1: 95
Option 2: 83
Option 3: 68
Option 4: 50
Correct Answer: 68
Solution : The correct answer is 68.
Mendeleev organized the elements in ascending order of relative atomic mass, placing them nearby based on their similarities. The relative atomic mass for each element was determined by averaging the masses of its constituent isotopes. He assigned atomic masses of

Question : Direction: In the following question a series is given, with one term missing. Choose the correct alternative from the given ones that will complete the series.
7, 12, 22, 42, 82, ?
Option 1: 173
Option 2: 162
Option 3: 183
Option 4: 143
Correct Answer: 162
Solution : Given: 7, 12, 22, 42, 82, ?
Here, the pattern is, that the number added is multiplied by 2 in every step.
7 + 5 = 12; 12 + 10 = 22; 22 + 20 = 42; 42 + 40 = 82; 82 + 80

Question : The chemical name of ''Plaster of Paris" commonly used for setting broken bones is
Option 1: Calcium nitrate
Option 2: Calcium sulphate
Option 3: Calcium carbonate
Option 4: Calcium chloride
Correct Answer: Calcium sulphate
Solution : The correct option is calcium sulphate.
