Option 2: $3 \frac{1}{2}$ years
Option 3: $5 \frac{1}{2}$ years

Question : The HCF of the two numbers is 21 and their LCM is 840. If one of the numbers is 49, then the other number is:
Option 1: 650
Option 2: 540

Question : $\sin ^4 \theta+\cos ^4 \theta$ in terms of $\sin \theta$ can be written as:
Option 1: $2 \sin ^4 \theta+2 \sin ^2 \theta-1$
Option 2: $2 \sin ^4 \theta-2 \sin ^2 \theta$
Option 3: $2 \sin ^4 \theta-2 \sin ^2 \theta-1$
Option 4: $2 \sin ^4 \theta-2 \sin ^2 \theta+1$
Correct Answer: $2 \sin ^4 \theta-2 \sin ^2 \theta+1$
Solution : We know that, $\sin^2 \theta + \cos^2 \theta = 1$ ⇒ $\cos^2 \theta = 1-\sin^2 \theta$ Now, $\sin^4 \theta + \cos^4 \theta$ $=(\sin^2 \theta + \cos^2 \theta)^2 - 2\sin^2 \theta \cos^2 \theta$ $=1^2 - 2\sin^2 \theta \cos^2 \theta$ $=1
