Question : At what percent of simple interest will a sum of money double itself in 15 years?
Option 1: $6\frac{1}{3}$%
Option 2: $6\frac{2}{3}$%
Option 3: $6\frac{1}{2}$%
Option 4: $6$%
Correct Answer: $6\frac{2}{3}$%
Solution : Let the principal be Rs. $P$. As the amount doubles itself, the interest is Rs. $P$. Rate = $r$ So, Simple interest = $\frac{\text{Principal×Rate×Time}}{100}$ ⇒ $P =\frac{P×r×15}{100}$ ⇒ $r =\frac{100}{15}=6\frac{2}{3}$%. Hence, the correct answer is $6\frac{2}{3}$%.

Question : If $7\sin^2\ \theta+3\cos^2\ \theta=4, (0°<\theta<90°)$, then find the value of $\tan\theta$:
Option 1: $\frac{1}{\sqrt3}$
Option 2: $\frac{1}{2}$
Option 3: $1$
Option 4: $\sqrt3$
Correct Answer: $\frac{1}{\sqrt3}$
Solution : Given: $7\sin^2\ \theta+3\cos^2\ \theta=4, (0°<\theta<90°)$ We know the trigonometric identity, $\sin^2\ \theta+\cos^2\ \theta=1$ $3\sin^2\ \theta+3\cos^2\ \theta+4\sin^2\theta=4$ $⇒3(\sin^2\ \theta+\cos^2\ \theta)+4\sin^2\theta=4$ $⇒3+4\sin^2\theta=4$ $⇒4\sin^2\theta=1$ $⇒\sin^2\theta=\frac{1}{4}$ $⇒\sin\ \theta=\frac{1}{2}=\sin \ 30°$ $⇒\theta=30°$ So, the value of $\tan\ \theta$ is, $\tan 30°=\frac{1}{\sqrt3}$ Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{1}{\sqrt3}$.
