Option 1: $45^{\circ}$
Option 2: $60^{\circ}$
Option 3: $30^{\circ}$
Option 4: $90^{\circ}$

Question : What is the value of ${a}^3+{b}^3+{c}^3$ if $(a+b+c)=0$?
Option 1: $a^2+b^2+c^2-3abc$
Option 2: $0$
Option 3: $3abc$
Option 4: $a^2+b^2+c^2-ab-bc-ca$
Correct Answer: $3abc$
Solution : Using the identity: $a^3 + b^3 + c^3 - 3abc = (a + b + c)(a^2 + b^2 + c^2 - ab - bc - ca)$. If $a + b + c = 0$, $a^3 + b^3 + c^3 - 3abc = 0$ ⇒ $a^3
Question : If $2 \sin \theta+2 \sin ^2 \theta=2$, then the value of $2 \cos ^4 \theta+2 \cos ^2 \theta$ is:
Option 1: 4
Option 2: 2
Option 3: 1
Option 4: 0
Correct Answer: 2
Solution : Given: $2 \sin \theta+2 \sin ^2 \theta=2$ ⇒ $2\sin\theta + 2\sin^2\theta = 2(\sin^2\theta + \cos^2\theta)$ ⇒ $2\sin\theta + 2\sin^2\theta = 2\sin^2\theta + 2\cos^2\theta$ ⇒ $2\sin\theta = 2\cos^2\theta$ ⇒ $\sin\theta = \cos^2\theta$ Putting the value in the given equation, $2 \cos ^4 \theta+2 \cos ^2 \theta$
Question : How many composite numbers are there from 53 to 97?
Option 1: 36
Option 2: 38

Question : Which of the following statement(s) is/are TRUE? I. $33^{3}>3^{33}$ II. $333>(3^{3})^{3}$
Option 1: Only I
Option 2: Only II
Option 3: Both I and II
Option 4: Neither I nor II
Correct Answer: Neither I nor II
Solution : $33^{3}$ = $33^{3}$ $3^{33} =(3^{11})^3$ Since $3^{11}$ is clearly greater than $33$, Thus, $3^{33} > 33^{3}$ So, statement I is false. Now, $(3^3)^3 = 27^3 = (729×27)>333$ So, statement II is also false. Hence, the correct answer is 'Neither I nor II'.
