Question : If $7\sin^{2}\theta+3\cos^{2}\theta=4$, and $0^{\circ}< \theta< 90^{\circ}$, then the value of $\tan\theta$ is:

Option 1: $\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$

Option 2: $\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$

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

Option 4: $1$

Team Careers360 21st Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$


Solution : We know that $\sin^{2}\theta + \cos^{2}\theta = 1$
$7\sin^{2}\theta+3\cos^{2}\theta=4$
⇒ $7\sin^{2}\theta+3(1-\sin^{2}\theta)=4$
⇒ $4\sin^{2}\theta=1$
⇒ $\sin\theta = \sqrt{\frac{1}{4}}$ or $\sin\theta = -\sqrt{\frac{1}{4}}$
Since $0^{\circ}< \theta< 90^{\circ}$, $\sin\theta$ is positive.
⇒ $\sin\theta = \frac{1}{2}$
⇒ $\theta = 30^{\circ}$
⇒ $\tan\theta = \tan30^{\circ} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$
Hence, the correct

Question : At 129 m away from the foot of a cliff on level ground, the angle of elevation of the top of the cliff is 30°. The height of this cliff is:

Option 1: $50\sqrt{3}$ m

Option 2: $45\sqrt{3}$ m

Option 3: $43\sqrt{3}$ m

Option 4: $47\sqrt{3}$ m

Team Careers360 18th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $43\sqrt{3}$ m


Solution :
Let h be the height of the cliff.
From the figure we get,
$\tan 30°=\frac{h}{129}$
⇒ $\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}=\frac{h}{129}$
⇒ $h=\frac{129}{\sqrt{3}}$
$\therefore h=43\sqrt{3}$ m
Hence, the correct answer is $43\sqrt{3}$ m.

Question : Solve the following to find its value in terms of trigonometric ratios.
$(\sin A + \cos A)(1 - \sin A \cos A)$

Option 1: $\sin^3A+\cos^3A$

Option 2: $\sin^2A-\cos^2A$

Option 3: ${[\cos A-\sin A]\left[\sin ^2 A+\cos ^2 A\right]}$

Option 4: $\sin^3A-\cos^3A$

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\sin^3A+\cos^3A$


Solution : Given expression, $(\sin A + \cos A)(1 – \sin A \cos A)$
$\sin A+\cos A−\sin^2A\cos A-\sin A\cos^2A$
We know, $\sin^2A=1−\cos^2A$ and $\cos^2A=1−\sin^2A$
Now, $\sin A+\cos A−\sin^2A\cos A−\sin A\cos^2A$
= $\sin A+\cos A−(1−\cos^2A)\cos A−\sin A(1−\sin^2A)$
= $\sin A+\cos A−\cos A+\cos^3A−\sin A+\sin^3A$
= $\sin^3A+\cos^3A$
Hence, the correct

Question : A loan is to be returned in two equal yearly instalments. If the rate of interest is 10% p.a. compounded annually and each instalment is INR 5,808, then 60% of the total interest (nearest to INR) charged in this scheme is:

Option 1: 917

Option 2: 911

Option 3: 922

Option 4: 913

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 922


Solution : Let the loan amount be P.
Then using
P = $\frac{\text{A}}{(1 +\frac{\text{R}}{100})^T}$, where A is amount due at R% rate of interest for $T$ years
⇒ P = $\frac{5808}{(1+\frac{10}{100})}$ + $\frac{5808}{(1+\frac{10}{100})^{2}}$ 
= $\frac{5808}{\frac{11}{10}}$ + $\frac{5808}{\frac{121}{100}}$ 
= $\frac{58080}{11}$ + $\frac{580800}{121}$ 
= 5280 + 4800
= 10080

Question : The curved surface area of a solid hemisphere is 22 cm2. What is the total surface area of the hemisphere? (use $\pi=\frac{22}{7}$)

Option 1: 66 cm2

Option 2: 44 cm2

Option 3: 33 cm2

Option 4: 30 cm2

Team Careers360 22nd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 33 cm2


Solution : Given: The curved surface area of a solid hemisphere is 22 cm2.
The curved surface area of the hemisphere = $2\pi r^2$
The total surface area of the hemisphere = $3\pi r^2$
where $r$ is the radius.
