Question : If $\cos \left(2 \theta+54^{\circ}\right)=\sin \theta, 0^{\circ}<\left(2 \theta+54^{\circ}\right)<90^{\circ}$, then what is the value of $\frac{1}{\tan 5 \theta+\operatorname{cosec} \frac{5 \theta}{2}}$?

Option 1: $3\sqrt2$

Option 2: $2-\sqrt{3}$

Option 3: $2\sqrt3$

Option 4: $2+\sqrt{3}$

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $2-\sqrt{3}$


Solution : Given that $\cos \left(2 \theta+54^{\circ}\right)=\sin \theta$ and $0^{\circ}<\left(2 \theta+54^{\circ}\right)<90^{\circ}$
$⇒\cos \left(2 \theta+54^{\circ}\right)=\cos(90^{\circ}-\theta)$
Solving for $\theta$,
$⇒ \left(2 \theta+54^{\circ}\right)= (90^{\circ}-\theta)$
$⇒3 \theta=36^{\circ}$
$⇒\theta=12^{\circ}$
$⇒\tan 5 \theta=\tan \left(60^{\circ}\right)=\sqrt{3}$
$⇒\operatorname{cosec} \frac{5 \theta}{2}=\operatorname{cosec} \left(30^{\circ}\right)=2$
Now, $\frac{1}{\tan 5 \theta+\operatorname{cosec}\frac{5 \theta}{2}}$
$=\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}+2}$
$=\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}+2}\times\frac{2-\sqrt{3}}{2-\sqrt{3}}$
$=2-\sqrt{3}$
Hence, the correct answer is $2-\sqrt{3}$.

Question : If $x^{2}+y^{2}+2x+1=0$, then the value of $x^{31}+y^{35}$ is:

Option 1: –1

Option 2: 0

Option 3: 1

Option 4: 2

Team Careers360 18th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: –1


Solution : Given:
$x^{2}+y^{2}+2x+1=0$
⇒ $x^{2}+2x+1+y^{2}=0$
⇒ $(x+1)^2+y^2=0$
Since the addition of the squares of the two terms is zero,
So, both the terms are individually zero.
Therefore, $(x+1)^2=0$ and $y^2=0$.
⇒ $x=-1$ and $y=0$
Now, $x^{31}+y^{35}$
= $(-1)^{31}+(0)^{35}$
= –1
Hence, the correct answer is –1.
