Question : If $a \cot \theta+b \operatorname{cosec} \theta=p$ and $b \cot \theta+a \operatorname{cosec} \theta=q$, then $p^2-q^2$ is equal to ____.

Option 1: $b^2-a^2$

Option 2: $a^2-b^2$

Option 3: $b-a$

Option 4: $a^2+b^2$

Team Careers360 23rd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $b^2-a^2$


Solution : $a \cot \theta+b \operatorname{cosec} \theta=p$
$b \cot \theta+a \operatorname{cosec} \theta=q$
So, $p^2-q^2$
= $(a \cot \theta+b \operatorname{cosec} \theta)^2 - (b \cot \theta+a \operatorname{cosec} \theta)^2$
= $a^2 \cot^2 \theta+b^2 \operatorname{cosec}^2 \theta + 2×a \cot \theta×b \operatorname{cosec} \theta$ – $(b^2 \cot^2 \theta+a^2 \operatorname{cosec}^2\theta+2×b \cot \theta×a \operatorname{cosec} \theta)$

Question : If $\small a^{4}+1=\left [\frac{a^{2}}{b^{2}}\right ]\left (4b^{2}-b^{4}-1\right),$ then what is the value of $a^{4}+b^{4}?$

Option 1: 2

Option 2: 16

Option 3: 32

Option 4: 64

Team Careers360 24th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 2


Solution : Given: $a^{4}+1=\frac{a^{2}}{b^{2}}( 4b^{2}-b^{4}-1)$
⇒ $\frac{(a^{4}+1)}{a^2}=\frac{1}{b^{2}}( 4b^{2}-b^{4}-1)$
⇒ $a^2+\frac{1}{a^2}=4 -b^2-\frac{1}{b^2}$
⇒ $a^2+\frac{1}{a^2}+2+b^2+\frac{1}{b^2} +2 =0$
⇒ $(a-\frac{1}{a})^2+(b-\frac{1}{b})^2=0$
So, $(a-\frac{1}{a})^2=0 \;$and$\; (b-\frac{1}{b})^2=0$
⇒ $a-\frac{1}{a}=0 \; $ and$\; b-\frac{1}{b}=0$
⇒ $a=\frac{1}{a} \; $ and$\; b=\frac{1}{b}$
⇒ $a^2=1 \;$ and $\; b^2 = 1$
$\therefore a^{4}+b^{4}=2$
Hence, the correct answer
