Question : If a boat goes upstream at a speed of 21 km/hr and comes back the same distance at 28 km/hr, what is the average speed (in km/hr) for the total journey?

Question : Simplify the given expression.
$\frac{1+\sin^4 \theta+\cos^4 \theta}{\cos^2 \theta+\sin^4 \theta}$

Option 1: 3

Option 2: 1

Option 3: 2

Option 4: 4

Team Careers360 19th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 2


Solution : Given: $\frac{1+\sin^4 \theta+\cos^4 \theta}{\cos^2 \theta+\sin^4 \theta}$
We know that $\sin^2\theta+\cos^2\theta=1$
Now, $\frac{1+\sin^4 \theta+\cos^4 \theta}{\cos^2 \theta+\sin^4 \theta}$
$=\frac{\sin^2 \theta+\cos^2 \theta+(\sin^2 \theta+\cos^2 \theta)^2–2\sin^2\theta\cos^2\theta}{1–\sin^2 \theta+\sin ^4 \theta}$
$=\frac{1+1–2\sin^2\theta\cos^2\theta}{(\sin^2 \theta)(\sin^2\theta–1)+1}$
$=\frac{2×(1–\sin^2\theta\cos^2\theta)}{1–\sin^2\theta\cos^2\theta}$
$=2$
Hence, the correct answer is 2.
