Question : Two numbers are, respectively, 10% and 25% more than the third number. The ratio of the two numbers is:

Option 1: 22 : 25

Option 2: 19 : 25

Option 3: 23 : 25

Option 4: 18 : 25

Team Careers360 24th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 22 : 25


Solution : Given: Two numbers are, respectively, 10% and 25% more than the third number.
Let the third number be $x$.
So, the first number = $x+x×\frac{10}{100}$ = $\frac{11x}{10}$
and the second number = $x+x×\frac{25}{100}$ = $\frac{5x}{4}$
Now, the required ratio = $\frac{11x}{10}:\frac{5x}{4}$ = 22

Question : What is the value of $\sec^2 54^{\circ}-\cot 2 36^{\circ}+\frac{3}{2} \sin^2 37^{\circ} \times \sec^2 53^{\circ}+\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}} \tan 60^{\circ}$?

Option 1: $\frac{5}{2}$

Option 2: $\frac{9}{2}$

Option 3: $\frac{3}{2}$

Option 4: $\frac{7}{2}$

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\frac{9}{2}$


Solution : Given: $\sec^2 54^{\circ}-\cot ^2 36^{\circ}+\frac{3}{2}\sin^2 37^{\circ}\times \sec^2 53^{\circ}+\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}\tan60^{\circ}$
 $=\sec^2 (90^{\circ}-36^{\circ})-\cot^2 36^{\circ}+\frac{3}{2}\sin^2 (90^{\circ}-53^{\circ})\times \sec^2 53^{\circ}+\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}×\sqrt3$
$=\operatorname{cosec}^2 36^{\circ}-\cot^2 36^{\circ}+\frac{3}{2}\cos^2 53^{\circ}\times \sec^2 53^{\circ}+2$
$=1+\frac{3}{2}\cos^2 53^{\circ}\times \frac{1}{\cos^2 53^{\circ}}+2$ ($\because \operatorname{cosec}^2 \theta-\cot ^2 \theta = 1$ )
$=1+\frac{3}{2}+2$
$=\frac{2+3+4}{2}$
$=\frac{9}{2}$
Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{9}{2}$.
