Question : The amount of Rs. 10,000 after 2 years, compounded annually with the rate of interest being 10% per annum during the first year and 12% per annum during the second year, would be (in rupees):

Option 1: 11,320

Option 2: 12,000

Option 3: 12,320

Option 4: 12,500

Team Careers360 24th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 12,320


Solution : Present value (P) = Rs. 10,000
Interest rate for 1st year,
$r_1$ = 10% per annum
Interest rate for 2nd year,
$r_2$ = 12% per annum
Time = 2 years
Amount(A) = P × (1 + $\frac{r_1}{100}$) × (1 + $\frac{r_2}{100}$)
= 10000 × (1

Question : $\frac{(1+\tan \theta+\sec \theta)(1+\cot \theta-\operatorname{cosec} \theta)}{(\sec \theta+\tan \theta)(1-\sin \theta)}$ is equal to:

Option 1: $2 \sec \theta$

Option 2: $2 \operatorname{cosec} \theta$

Option 3: $\operatorname{cosec} \theta$

Option 4: $\sec \theta$

Team Careers360 24th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $2 \sec \theta$


Solution : $\frac{(1+\tan \theta+\sec \theta)(1+\cot \theta-\operatorname{cosec} \theta)}{(\sec \theta+\tan \theta)(1-\sin \theta)}$
$=\frac{(1+\frac{\sin \theta}{\cos \theta}+\frac{1}{\cos \theta})(1+\frac {\cos \theta}{\sin \theta}-\frac {1}{\sin \theta})}{(\frac{1}{\cos \theta}+\frac{\sin \theta}{\cos \theta})(1-\sin \theta)}$
$=\frac{(\frac{\cos \theta+\sin \theta+1}{\cos \theta})(\frac {\sin \theta+\cos \theta-1}{\sin \theta})}{(\frac{1+\sin \theta}{\cos \theta})(1-\sin \theta)}$
$=\frac{(\cos \theta+\sin \theta+1)(\sin \theta+\cos \theta-1)}{\sin \theta(1-\sin \theta)}$
$=\frac{(\cos \theta+\sin \theta)^2-1}{\sin \theta\cos^2

Question : If $x+\frac{1}{x}=2 \cos \theta$, then $x^3+\frac{1}{x^3}=?$

Option 1: $2 \cos 2θ$

Option 2: $\cos 3θ$

Option 3: $2 \cos 3θ$

Option 4: $\cos 2θ$

Team Careers360 22nd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $2 \cos 3θ$


Solution : Given: $x+\frac{1}{x}=2 \cos \theta$.
Cubing both sides, we get:
$⇒\left(x^3+\frac{1}{x^3}\right) + 3\left(x+\frac{1}{x}\right) = 8\cos^3 \theta$
Putting the values, we get:
$⇒x^3+\frac{1}{x^3} = 8\cos^3 \theta- 3(2 \cos \theta)$
$⇒x^3+\frac{1}{x^3}= 8\cos^3 \theta- 6 \cos \theta$
$⇒x^3+\frac{1}{x^3}=2(4\cos^3 \theta- 3 \cos \theta)$
$⇒x^3+\frac{1}{x^3}=2 \cos 3 \theta$
Hence,
