Question : If $\tan (\alpha+\beta)=\sqrt{3}, \tan (\alpha-\beta)=1$ where $(\alpha+\beta)$ and $(\alpha-\beta)$ are acute angles, then what is $\tan$ $(6 \alpha) ?$

Option 1: $-1$

Option 2: $0$

Option 3: $1$

Option 4: $\sqrt{2}-1$

Team Careers360 22nd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $-1$


Solution : Given:
$\tan (\alpha+\beta)=\sqrt{3}=\tan 60^{\circ}$
$\tan (\alpha-\beta)=1=\tan 45^{\circ}$
⇒ $\alpha+\beta=60^{\circ}$
and $\alpha-\beta=45^{\circ}$
⇒ $2\alpha=105^{\circ}$
⇒ $\alpha=\frac{105}{2}^{\circ}$
⇒ $6\alpha=6×\frac{105}{2}^{\circ}=315^{\circ}$
Now, $\tan 6\alpha$
= $\tan 315^{\circ}$
= $\tan (360^{\circ}-45^{\circ})$
= $-\tan45^{\circ}$
= $-1$
Hence, the correct answer is $-1$.

Question : ABC is an equilateral triangle. If the area of the triangle is $36 \sqrt{3}$, then what is the radius of the circle circumscribing the $\triangle ABC$?

Option 1: $2 \sqrt{3}$

Option 2: $3 \sqrt{3}$

Option 3: $4 \sqrt{3}$

Option 4: $6 \sqrt{3}$

Team Careers360 22nd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $4 \sqrt{3}$


Solution : Given: ABC is an equilateral triangle.
The area of the triangle is $36 \sqrt{3}$.
The area of the equilateral triangle $=\frac{\sqrt3}{4}\times (s)^2$, where $s$ is the sides of the triangle.
The radius of the circle circumscribing the equilateral triangle $=\frac{s}{\sqrt3}$.
⇒ $\frac{\sqrt3}{4}\times (s)^2= 36

Question : The marked price on a book is INR 1,000. In a book fair, it is available for sale with a discount scheme offering two successive discounts of 12% and 8%. What is the final selling price (in INR) of the book for a customer (rounded off to the nearest integer)?

Option 1: 810

Option 2: 790

Option 3: 825

Option 4: 800

Team Careers360 21st Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 810


Solution : Marked Price on a book = INR 1,000
Successive discounts of 12% and 8%
For two successive discounts Selling price = $\frac{100-\text{Discount}_1\%}{100}× \frac{100-\text{Discount}_2\%}{100}×$ marked price
Selling Price = $\frac{88}{100}$×$\frac{92}{100}$×1,000 = 809.6 $\approx$ INR 810
Hence, the correct answer is 810.

Question : If the volume of a sphere is $179 \frac{2}{3}$ m3, what is its surface area?

Option 1: 221 m2

Option 2: 154 m2

Option 3: 144 m2

Option 4: 151 m2

Team Careers360 21st Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 154 m2


Solution : Given, the volume of a sphere is $179 \frac{2}{3} = \frac{539}{3}$
Volume of a sphere with radius, $r$ = $\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3$
⇒ $\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3=\frac{539}{3}$
⇒ $\frac{4}{3}\times \frac{22}{7}\times r^3=\frac{539}{3}$
⇒ $r^3=\frac{49\times 7}{4\times 2}$
$\therefore r=\frac{7}{2}$ m
Surface area = $4\pi r^2$
= $4\times \frac{22}{7}\times
