Option 1: 3

Option 2: 4

Option 3: –1

Option 4: –2

Team Careers360 23rd Jan, 2024

Solution : $\frac{3\left(\operatorname{cosec}^2 26^{\circ}-\tan ^2 64^{\circ}\right)+\left(\cot ^2 42^{\circ}-\sec ^2 48^{\circ}\right)}{\cot \left(22^{\circ}-\theta\right)-\operatorname{cosec}^2\left(62^{\circ}+\theta\right)-\tan \left(\theta+68^{\circ}\right)+\tan ^2\left(28^{\circ}-\theta\right)}$
$= \frac{3\left(\operatorname{sec}^2 64^{\circ}-\tan ^2 64^{\circ}\right)+\left(\cot ^2 42^{\circ}-\operatorname{cosec} ^2 42^{\circ}\right)}{\tan \left(68^{\circ}+\theta\right)-\operatorname{cosec}^2\left(62^{\circ}+\theta\right)-\tan \left(\theta+68^{\circ}\right)+\cot ^2\left(62^{\circ}+\theta\right)}$
$= \frac{3\left(1\right)+\left(\cot ^2 42^{\circ}-1-\cot ^2 42^{\circ}\right)}{-(\operatorname{cosec}^2\left(62^{\circ}+\theta\right)-\cot ^2\left(62^{\circ}+\theta\right))}$
$= \frac{3-1}{-1}$
$= -2$

Question : In how many years will a sum of Rs. 9,500 amount to Rs. 11,780 at the rate of 8% per annum at simple interest?

Option 1: 3

Option 2: 2

Option 3: 4

Option 4: 5

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 3


Solution : Total amount = Rs. 11,780
Principal sum = Rs. 9,500
Simple Interest = 11,780 – 9,500 = Rs. 2,280
Rate = 8%
Let $n$ be the time.
We know, ​​​​​​Simple Interest =$\frac{\text{Principal×Rate×Time}}{100}$
$⇒2280 = \frac{9500×8×n}{100}$
$\therefore n= 3$ years
Hence, the correct answer is 3.
