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.
