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: $\frac{5}{3}v$
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 : Directions: In the following question below are given some statements followed by some conclusions based on those statements. Taking the given statements to be true even if they seem to be at variance from commonly known facts. Read all the conclusions and then decide which of the given conclusions logically follows the given statements. Statements: I. Some tables are chairs. II. No chair is stool. Conclusions: I. All chairs are tables. II. Some chairs are stools. III. All tables are stools.
Option 1: Only conclusion I follows
Option 2: All conclusions follow
Option 3: Both conclusions II and III follow
Option 4: Neither conclusion follows
Correct Answer: Neither conclusion follows
Solution : The possible Venn diagram, according to the given statements is as follows –
Let's analyse the conclusions – Conclusion (I): All chairs are tables – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that the circles representing chairs and tables intersect and have a

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
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
