Question : What is the reflection of the point (–3, 1) in the line $x=-2$?
Option 1: (–1, 1)
Option 2: (–3, –5)
Option 3: (1, 1)
Option 4: (–3, 5)
Correct Answer: (–1, 1)
Solution : To find: Reflection of the point (–3, 1) in the line $x=-2$. Reflection of a point $(x_1, y_1)$ in a line $x=a$ is $(-x_1+2a, y_1)$. So, reflection of the point (–3, 1) in the line $x=-2$, = (–(–3) + 2(–2), 1) = (–1, 1)

Question : If $\cos27^{\circ}$ = $x$, then the value of $\tan 63°$ is:
Option 1: $\frac{x}{\sqrt{1–x^2}}$
Option 2: $\frac{x}{\sqrt{1+x^2}}$
Option 3: $\frac{\sqrt{1–x^2}}{x}$
Option 4: $\frac{\sqrt{1+x^2}}{x}$
Correct Answer: $\frac{x}{\sqrt{1–x^2}}$
Solution : In $\triangle ABC$, ⇒ $\cos\ 27°$ = $x$ ⇒ $\frac{AB}{BC}$ = $\frac{x}{1}$ By Pythagoras theorem, Perpendicular2 + Base2 = Hypotenuse2 ⇒ AC2 + AB2 = BC2 ⇒ AC2 = BC2 – AB2 = $1–x^2$ ⇒ AC
Question : Direction: In the following question a series is given, with one term missing. Choose the correct alternative from the given ones that will complete the series.
