Question : In $\triangle A B C, \angle A=66^{\circ}$ and $\angle B=50^{\circ}$. If the bisectors of $\angle B$ and $\angle C$ meet at P, then, $\angle B P C-\angle P C A=$?

Option 1: $93^\circ$

Option 2: $91^\circ$

Option 3: $83^\circ$

Option 4: $81^\circ$

Team Careers360 6th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $91^\circ$


Solution :
We know that the sum of all the angles of the triangle is $180^\circ$
⇒ $\angle A + \angle B + \angle C = 180^\circ$
⇒ $66^\circ + 50^\circ + \angle C = 180^\circ$
⇒ $116^\circ + \angle C = 180^\circ$
⇒ $\angle C =

Question : If $b \cos \theta=a$, then $\operatorname{cosec} \theta+\cot \theta=$_______.

Option 1: $\sqrt{\frac{1}{b+a}}$

Option 2: $\sqrt{\frac{b-a}{b+a}}$

Option 3: $\sqrt{\frac{b+a}{b-a}}$

Option 4: $\sqrt{\frac{1}{b-a}}$

Team Careers360 11th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\sqrt{\frac{b+a}{b-a}}$


Solution : Given, $b \cos \theta=a$
⇒ $\cos \theta=\frac{a}{b}$
We know that $\sin^2 \theta + \cos^2 \theta = 1$
So, $\sin^2 \theta + (\frac{a}{b})^2 = 1$
⇒ $\sin^2 \theta = 1-(\frac{a}{b})^2$
⇒ $\sin \theta = \frac{\sqrt{b^2-a^2}}{b}$
Now, $\operatorname{cosec} \theta+\cot \theta=\frac{1}{\sin \theta}+\frac{\cos \theta}{\sin \theta}$
⇒ $\operatorname{cosec} \theta+\cot \theta=\frac{b}{\sqrt{b^2-a^2}}+\frac{\frac{a}{b}}{\frac{\sqrt{b^2-a^2}}{b}}$

Question : Determine the LCM of two numbers if their HCF is 9 and their ratio is 14 : 19.

Option 1: 2394

Option 2: 3990

Option 3: 1596

Option 4: 3192

Team Careers360 15th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 2394


Solution : Given, HCF = 9
$\therefore$ 1st number = 14 × 9 = 126
Also, 2nd number = 19 × 9 = 171
⇒ LCM of 126 and 171 = 9 × 14 × 19 = 2394
Hence, the correct answer is 2394.

Question : The height of an equilateral triangle is 18 cm. Its area is:

Option 1: $36\sqrt{3}\operatorname{cm^2}$

Option 2: $108\sqrt{3}\operatorname{cm^2}$

Option 3: $108\operatorname{cm^2}$

Option 4: $96\sqrt{3}\operatorname{ cm^2}$

Team Careers360 12th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $108\sqrt{3}\operatorname{cm^2}$


Solution : Given that the height ($h$) of the equilateral triangle is 18 cm.
$ h = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \times a $
$ a = \frac{2h}{\sqrt{3}} = \frac{2 \times 18}{\sqrt{3}} = 12\sqrt{3}\operatorname{ cm}$
The area (A) of an equilateral triangle,
$ A = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} \times a^2 $
