Question : The value of $\left(2 \frac{6}{7}\right.$ of $\left.4 \frac{1}{5} \div \frac{2}{3}\right) \times 5 \frac{1}{9} \div\left(\frac{3}{4} \times 2 \frac{2}{3}\right.$ of $\left.\frac{1}{2} \div \frac{1}{4}\right)$ is:
Option 1: 25
Option 2: 19
Option 3: 23
Option 4: 21
Correct Answer: 23
Solution : $\left(2 \frac{6}{7}\right.$ of $\left.4 \frac{1}{5} \div \frac{2}{3}\right) \times 5 \frac{1}{9} \div\left(\frac{3}{4} \times 2 \frac{2}{3}\right.$ of $\left.\frac{1}{2} \div \frac{1}{4}\right)$ = $\left(\frac{20}{7}\right.$ of $\left. \frac{21}{5} \div \frac{2}{3}\right) \times \frac{46}{9} \div\left(\frac{3}{4} \times \frac{8}{3}\right.$ of $\left.\frac{1}{2} \div \frac{1}{4}\right)$ = $\left(12\right.×\left. \frac{3}{2}\right) \times \frac{46}{9} \div\left(\frac{3}{4} \times \frac{4}{3}\right.×\left.4\right)$ = $\left(18\right) \times
Question : Sentences of a paragraph are given below in jumbled order. Arrange the sentences in the correct order to form a meaningful and coherent paragraph.

Question : The value of which of the following is different from the other options?
Option 1: sin 90°
Option 2: sec 60°
Option 3: cos 0°
Option 4: tan 45°
Correct Answer: sec 60°
Solution : The value of trigonometric ratios sin 90° = cos 0° = tan 45° = 1. The value of the trigonometric ratio sec 60° is 2. So, it is different from other options. Hence, the correct answer is sec 60°.
