Question : The value of $(\operatorname{cosec}a-\sin a)(\sec a-\cos a)(\tan a + \cot a)$ is:
Option 1: 1
Option 2: 6
Option 3: 2
Option 4: 4
Correct Answer: 1
Solution : Given: $(\operatorname{cosec}a-\sin a)(\sec a-\cos a)(\tan a + \cot a)$ = $(\frac{1}{\sin a}-\sin a)(\frac{1}{\cos\ a}-\cos\ a)(\frac{\sin\ a}{\cos a}+\frac{\cos a}{\sin a})$ = $(\frac{1-\sin^2a}{\sin a})(\frac{1-\cos^2a}{\cos a})(\frac{\sin^2a+\cos^2a}{\sin a.\cos a})$ = $(\frac{\cos^2a}{\sin a})(\frac{\sin^2a}{\cos a})(\frac{1}{\sin a.\cos a})$ = 1 Hence, the correct answer is 1.
Question : Rs. 2,60,200 is divided between Ram and Shyam so the amount that Ram receives in 4 years is the same as that Shyam receives in 6 years. If the interest is compounded annually at the rate of 4% per annum, then Ram's share is:
Option 1: Rs. 1,25,000
Option 2: Rs. 1,35,200
Option 3: Rs. 1,52,000
Option 4: Rs. 1,08,200
Correct Answer: Rs. 1,35,200
Solution : Let Ram's share be $x$ and Shyam's share be $y$. $R=4$% We know that $\text{Total amount}=\text{Principal}×(1+\frac{\text{Rate}}{100})^{\text{Time}}$ According to the given condition, ⇒ $x(1+\frac{4}{100})^{4}=y(1+\frac{4}{100})^{6}$ ⇒ $\frac{x}{y}=\frac{(1+\frac{4}{100})^{6}}{(1+\frac{4}{100})^{4}}$ ⇒ $\frac{x}{y}=(\frac{26}{25})^{2}$ ⇒ $x:y=676:625$ $\therefore$ Ram's share $=\frac{676}{1301}×260200=135200$ Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 1,35,200.

Question : Three men step off together from the same spot. Their steps measure 63 cm, 70 cm, and 77 cm, respectively. The minimum distance each should cover so that all can cover the distance in complete steps is:
Option 1: 9630 cm
Option 2: 9360 cm
Option 3: 6930 cm
Option 4: 6950 cm
Correct Answer: 6930 cm
Solution : 63 = 7 × 9 70 = 7 × 10 77 = 7 × 11 Thus, LCM = 7 × 9 × 10 × 11 = 6930 cm So, the minimum distance covered is 6930 cm. Hence, the correct answer is 6930 cm.
