Question : Directions: In the following question two statements are given followed by two conclusions, I and II. You have to consider the statements to be true even if they seem to be at variance from commonly known facts. You have to decide which of the given conclusions can be drawn from the given statement. Indicate your answer. Statements: Some kings are queens. All queens are beautiful. Conclusions: I. All kings are beautiful. II. All queens are kings.
Option 1: Only conclusion I follows
Option 2: Only conclusion II follows
Option 3: Either conclusion I or II follows
Option 4: Neither Conclusion I nor Conclusion II follows
Correct Answer: Neither Conclusion I nor Conclusion II follows
Solution : The possible Venn diagram according to the given statements is as follows –
Let's analyse the conclusions – Conclusion (I): All kings are beautiful – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that the circles representing kings and beautiful
Question : Which of the following is a FALSE statement?
Option 1: $\tan ^2 \mathrm{~A}=1-\sec ^2 \mathrm{~A}$
Option 2: $\sin \mathrm{A}=\tan \mathrm{A} \times \cos \mathrm{A}$
Option 3: $\operatorname{cosec}^2 A-1=\cot ^2 A$
Option 4: $\cos A \times \sec A=1$
Correct Answer: $\tan ^2 \mathrm{~A}=1-\sec ^2 \mathrm{~A}$
Solution : We know, $\sec^2 A = 1+ \tan^2 A$ $⇒1-\sec^2 A = -\tan^2 A$ Hence, the correct answer is $1-\sec^2 A = \tan^2 A$.
Question : Direction: Correct the following equation by interchanging the two signs and two numbers.
7 × 6 + 5 – 4 = 33
Option 1: –, × and 4, 5
Option 2: ×, + and 4, 5
Option 3: +, – and 5, 6
Option 4: ×, – and 5, 6
Correct Answer: +, – and 5, 6
Solution : Given: 7 × 6 + 5 – 4 = 33
Let's check from the options –
First option: –, × and 4, 5 ⇒ 7 – 6 + 4 × 5 = 33 = 7 – 6 + 20 = 21
Question : Directions: By interchanging the given two signs and numbers which of the following equations will be correct? – and +, 6 and 3
Option 1: 7 – 3 × 2 ÷ 6 + 4 = 17
Option 2: 8 × 3 – 6 + 4 ÷ 2 = 49
Option 3: 7 + 6 ÷ 3 × 8 – 5 = 35
Option 4: 9 – 6 ÷ 4 + 3 × 7 = 8
Correct Answer: 8 × 3 – 6 + 4 ÷ 2 = 49
Solution : Let's check the options – First option: 7 – 3 × 2 ÷ 6 + 4 = 17 On interchanging the mathematical signs and numbers, we get – ⇒ 7 + 6 × 2 ÷
