Spending on groceries and clothes was in the ratio of $7:5$.
Money spent on clothes = $\frac{5}{12} \times 0.78x$
According to the question,

Question : On day one, with speed $v$, R covers a distance $x$, in t time. On the next day, he covers a distance of 2.5 $x$ in 0.75 $t$ time. What is his speed in the next day?

Option 1: $3.5v$

Option 2: $\frac{10}{3}v$

Option 3: $4.5v$

Option 4: $\frac{5}{3}v$

Team Careers360 19th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\frac{10}{3}v$


Solution : Given: $\frac{x}t=v$
Now, distance travelled by R on the second day = $2.5x$
Time taken by him to cover that distance = $0.75t$
So, speed on second day = $\frac{2.5x}{0.75t}=\frac{10}{3}v$
Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{10}{3}v$.

Question : If $\theta$ is an acute angle and $\tan \theta+\cot \theta=2$, then the value of $\tan ^{200} \theta+\cot ^{200} \theta$ is:

Option 1: 1

Option 2: 2

Option 3: –1

Option 4: 0

Team Careers360 21st Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 2


Solution : Given $\theta$ is an acute angle
Also, $\tan \theta+\cot \theta=2$
$\frac{\sin\theta}{\cos\theta}+\frac{\cos\theta}{\sin\theta} = 2$
⇒ $\frac{\sin^2\theta + \cos^2\theta}{\sin\theta \cos\theta} = 2$
⇒ $1 = 2\sin\theta \cos\theta$
⇒ $\sin2\theta = 1$
⇒ $2\theta = 90°$
⇒ $\theta = 45°$
Now, $\tan ^{200} \theta+\cot ^{200} \theta$
$= (\tan
