Question : If $\operatorname{cosec} \theta+ \cot \theta=\frac{3}{2}$, what is the value of $\operatorname{cosec} \theta$?
Option 1: $\frac{13}{12}$
Option 2: $\frac{3}{2}$
Option 3: $\frac{11}{12}$
Option 4: $\frac{9}{13}$
Correct Answer: $\frac{13}{12}$
Solution : Given: $\operatorname{cosec}\ \theta+\cot \theta=\frac{3}{2}$ -----------------(1) Since we know that $(\operatorname{cosec} \ \theta+\cot \theta)(\operatorname{cosec}\ \theta-\cot \theta)=1$ Substitute the given value in the above identity and we get, $⇒\frac{3}{2}×(\operatorname{cosec} \ \theta-\cot \theta)=1$ $⇒\operatorname{cosec} \ \theta-\cot \theta=\frac{2}{3}$-------------------------(2) Adding equation (1) and equation (2), we get, $\operatorname{cosec}\ \theta+\cot \theta+\operatorname{cosec}\
Question : Directions: In the following question, some parts of the sentence have errors, and some are correct. Find out which part of the sentence has an error. The number of that part is the answer. If a sentence is error-free, your answer is "No Error".

Question : When $a=61, b=63$ and $c=65$, then what is the value of $a^3+b^3+c^3-3abc$?
Option 1: 1456
Option 2: 2268
Option 3: 4536
Option 4: 5460
Correct Answer: 2268
Solution : Given: a = 61, b = 63, and c = 65 $a^3+b^3+c^3-3abc$ = $\frac{(a\:+\:b\:+\:c)[(a\:-\:b)^2\:+\:(b\:-\:c)^2+(c\:-\:a)^2]}{2}$ = $\frac{(61\:+\:63\:+\:65)[(61\:-\:63)^2+(63\:-\:65)^2)+(65\:-\:61)^2]}{2}$ = $\frac{189×24}{2}$ = $2268$ Hence, the correct answer is 2268.
