Question : If $\cos x=-\frac{1}{2}, x$ lies in third quadrant, then $\tan x=?$

Option 1: $\sqrt{3}$

Option 2: $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$

Option 3: $\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}$

Option 4: $\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$

Team Careers360 21st Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\sqrt{3}$


Solution : Given:
$\cos x=-\frac{1}{2}, x$ lies in third quadrant.
$\sin^2x=1-\cos^2x=1-(-\frac{1}{2})^2=\frac{3}{4}$
⇒ $\sin x= \pm \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$
As $x$ is in the 3rd quadrant therefore $\sin x=- \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$
$\therefore \tan x=\frac{\sin x}{\cos x}=\frac{- \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}}{-\frac{1}{2}}=\sqrt{3}$
Hence, the correct answer is $\sqrt{3}$.

Question : The sum of the two numbers is 18 and their HCF and LCM are 3 and 54, respectively. What will be the sum of their reciprocals?

Option 1: $\frac{1}{7}$

Option 2: $\frac{1}{11}$

Option 3: $\frac{1}{6}$

Option 4: $\frac{1}{9}$

Team Careers360 23rd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\frac{1}{9}$


Solution : Let the two numbers be $x$ and $y$.
We know (HCF) × (LCM) = Product of two numbers
Given HCF = 3 and LCM = 54
⇒ $x × y = 3 × 54$
Also, $x + y = 18$
Now to calculate, $\frac{1}{x} +

Question : If 450 men can finish the construction of an apartment in 20 days, then how many men are needed to complete the same work in 30 days?

Option 1: 150

Option 2: 300

Option 3: 400

Option 4: 250

Team Careers360 24th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 300


Solution : We know, $M_1D_1= M_2D_2,$
Where, $M_1$ and $M_2$ are men and $D1$ and $D_2$ are days.
450 men can finish the construction of an apartment in 20 days.
Here, $M_1=450, D_1=20,$ and $D_2=30$
So, $450×20=M_2×30$
$\therefore M_2=300$
Hence, the correct answer is 300.
