(NOTE: Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into their constituent digits. E.g. 13 – operations on 13 such as adding/subtracting/multiplying etc. to 13 can be performed. Breaking down 13 into 1 and 3 and then performing mathematical operations on 1 and 3 is not allowed.) (4, 6, 8) (6, 8, 10)
Option 1: (2, 12, 8)
Option 2: (8, 12, 16)
Option 3: (5, 30, 10)
Option 4: (18, 18, 16)
Correct Answer: (8, 12, 16)

Question : If $\sec \theta+\frac{1}{\cos \theta}=2$, find the value of $\sec ^{55} \theta+\frac{1}{\sec ^{55} \theta}$.
Option 1: 2
Option 2: 0
Option 3: 1
Option 4: 55
Correct Answer: 2
Solution : $\sec \theta+\frac{1}{\cos \theta}=2$ ⇒ $\sec\theta \cos \theta + 1 = 2 \cos\theta$ ⇒ $1 + 1 = 2 \cos\theta$ ⇒ $\cos\theta = 1$ ⇒ $\sec\theta = 1$ ⇒ $\sec ^{55} \theta+\frac{1}{\sec ^{55} \theta}= 1 + 1 = 2$ Hence, the correct answer is 2.
Question : While selling an article for INR 18,450, a person suffered a loss of 50%. At what price he should have sold the article to earn a profit of 50%?
