Question : The value of $(1+\sec20°+\cot70°)(1-\operatorname{cosec}20°+\tan70°)$ is equal to:

Option 1: 0

Option 2: 1

Option 3: 2

Option 4: –1

Team Careers360 22nd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 2


Solution : Given: $(1+\sec20°+\cot70°)(1 – \operatorname{cosec}20°+\tan70°)$
= $(1+\sec20°+\tan20°)(1-\operatorname{cosec}20°+\cot20°)$
= $(1+\frac{1}{\cos20°}+\frac{\sin20°}{\cos20°})(1–\frac{1}{\sin20°}+\frac{\cos20°}{\sin20°})$
= $(\frac{\cos20°+1+\sin20°}{\cos20°})(\frac{\sin20°–1+\cos20°}{\sin20°})$
= $\frac{(\sin20°+\cos20°)^{2}–1^{2}}{\cos20°\sin20°}$
= $\frac{\sin^{2}20°+\cos^{2}20°+2\sin20°\cos20°–1}{\cos20°\sin20°}$
= $\frac{2\sin20°\cos20°}{\cos20°\sin20°}$
= $2$
Hence, the correct answer is 2.

Question : If $x+\frac{1}{x}=-14$, and $x<-1$, what will be the value of $x^2-\frac{1}{x^2}$?

Option 1: $-112 \sqrt{3}$

Option 2: $112 \sqrt{3}$

Option 3: $-140 \sqrt{2}$

Option 4: $140 \sqrt{2}$

Team Careers360 22nd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $112 \sqrt{3}$


Solution : Given, $x+\frac{1}{x}=-14$
Squaring both sides, we get,
⇒ $x^2+\frac{1}{x^2}+2=196$
⇒ $x^2+\frac{1}{x^2}=196-2=194$
Subtracting 2 from both sides, we get,
$x^2+\frac{1}{x^2}-2=194-2$
⇒ $(x-\frac{1}{x})^2=192$
⇒ $x-\frac{1}{x}=-\sqrt{192}$ [as $x<-1$]
Now $x^2-\frac{1}{x^2}$
$=(x-\frac{1}{x})(x+\frac{1}{x})$
$=(-\sqrt{192})\times (-14)$
$=8\sqrt3\times 14 = 112\sqrt3$
Hence, the correct answer is $112\sqrt3$.
