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}\

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.
