Question : If $b \sin \theta=a$, then $\sec \theta+\tan \theta=?$

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

Option 2: $\sqrt{\frac{1}{b+a}}$

Option 3: $\sqrt{\frac{1}{b-a}}$

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

Team Careers360 24th Jan, 2024

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


Solution : $b \sin \theta = a$
$\sin\theta = \frac{a}{b}$
So, Perpendicular = $a$ & Hypotenuse = $b$
$(Hypotenuse)^2= (Perpendicular)^2+ (Base)^2$
⇒ $b^2= a^2 + (Base)^2$
⇒ $(Base)^2 = b^2- a^2$
⇒ $(Base) = \sqrt{b^2- a^2}$
$\sec \theta = \frac{(Hypotenuse)}{(Base)}= \frac{b}{\sqrt{b^2- a^2}}$
$\tan \theta= \frac{(Perpendicular)}{(Base)}= \frac{a}{\sqrt{b^2- a^2}}$

Question : Factorise: $x^{2}+5x-14$.

Option 1: $(x-7)(x+2)$

Option 2: $(x-1)(x+14)$

Option 3: $(x+7)(x-2)$

Option 4: $(x-14)(x+1)$

Team Careers360 23rd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $(x+7)(x-2)$


Solution : Given: $x^{2}+5x-14$
After middle-term splitting,
$= x^{2}+7x-2x-14$
$= x(x+7)-2(x+7)$
$= (x+7)(x-2)$
Hence, the correct answer is $(x+7)(x-2)$.

now, $y$ = 25% of $x$
⇒ $y=\frac{x}{4}$
⇒ $x=4y$ .........................................(i)
The larger number is

Question : A prism has a regular hexagonal base with a side of 6 cm. If the total surface area of the prism is 216$\sqrt3$ cm2, then what is the height (in cm) of the prism?

Option 1: $3\sqrt3$

Option 2: $6\sqrt3$

Option 3: $6$

Option 4: $3$

Team Careers360 23rd Jan, 2024
