Question : If $\sin t+\cos t=\frac{4}{5}$, then find $\sin t.\cos t$.
Option 1: $\frac{9}{50}$
Option 2: $-\frac{9}{50}$
Option 3: $\frac{9}{25}$
Option 4: $-\frac{9}{25}$
Correct Answer: $-\frac{9}{50}$
Solution : Given: $\sin t+\cos t=\frac{4}{5}$ Squaring both sides, we have, ⇒ $(\sin t+\cos t)^{2}=(\frac{4}{5})^{2}$ ⇒ $\sin^{2} t+\cos^{2} t+2\sin t.\cos t=\frac{16}{25}$ We know that $\sin^{2} t+\cos^{2}=1$ ⇒ $1+2\sin t.\cos t=\frac{16}{25}$ ⇒ $2\sin t.\cos t=\frac{16}{25}–1$ ⇒ $2\sin t.\cos t=-\frac{9}{25}$ ⇒ $\sin t.\cos t=-\frac{9}{50}$ Hence, the correct answer is
Question : Directions: In the following question, some parts of the sentence have errors, and some are correct. Find out which part of the sentence has an error. The number of that part is the answer. If a sentence is error-free, your answer is "No error".
I would appreciate if readers (1) / would write to me (2) / about how they meditate. (3) / No error (4)
Option 1: (1)
Option 2: (2)
Option 3: (3)
Option 4: (4)
Correct Answer: (2)
Solution : The error lies in the second part of the sentence.
The rules of the first conditional should be applied here, and the modal would should be used in the sentence to express a polite request. As per the first conditional, the condition must be in
Question : A solid metallic sphere of radius 13 cm is melted and recast into a cone having a diameter of the base as 13 cm. What is the height of the cone?
Option 1: 246 cm
Option 2: 152 cm
Option 3: 174 cm
Option 4: 208 cm
Correct Answer: 208 cm
Solution : We know, The volume of a cone = $\frac{1}{3}πr^2h$, where r is the radius of the cone The volume of a sphere = $\frac{4}{3}πR^3$, where r is the radius of the sphere According to the question, $\frac{4}{3}πR^3 = \frac13πr^2h$ Let the height of the
Question : Directions: In the following question, select the number that can be placed at the sign of the question mark (?) from the given alternatives.
Option 1: 54
Option 2: 60
Option 3: 62
Option 4: 66
Correct Answer: 66
Solution : Add the multiplication of numbers given in diagonal blocks, to get the number of centre blocks.
In the first figure – (4 × 3) + (5 × 2) = 12 + 10 = 22 In the second figure – (1 × 2) + (7
Question : A vessel contains 20 L of acid. 4 L of acid is taken out of the vessel and replaced by the same quantity of water. Next, 4 L of the mixture is withdrawn and again the vessel is filled with the same quantity of water. The ratio of the quantity of acid left in the vessel with the quantity of acid initially in the vessel is:
Option 1: 4 : 5
Option 2: 4 : 25
Option 3: 16 : 25
Option 4: 1 : 5
Correct Answer: 16 : 25
Solution : Here, Remaining acid = Initial quantity × $(1–\frac{\text{Quantity taken out}}{\text{Original quantity}})^{\text{number of times removed}}$ ⇒ Remaining acid $=20×(1-\frac{4}{20})^2=20×\frac{4}{5}×\frac{4}{5}= 12.8$ L So, the required ratio = (12.8) : (20) = 128 : 200 = 16 : 25 Hence, the correct answer is 16 :
Question : Directions: Select the correct combination of mathematical signs that can sequentially replace the * signs and balance the given equation. 55 * 63 * 9 * 8 * 3 = 38
Option 1: ÷, ×, –, +
Option 2: ×, ÷, +, –
Option 3: +, –, ×, ÷
Option 4: +, ÷, –, ×
Correct Answer: +, ÷, –, ×
Solution : Given: 55 * 63 * 9 * 8 * 3 = 38
Let's check the given options – First option: ÷, ×, –, + ⇒ 55 ÷ 63 × 9 – 8 + 3 = 38 Solving the L.H.S. of the equation

Option 3: 137th Session held in Lausanne
Option 4: 140th Session held in India
Correct Answer: 138th Session held in Tokyo
Solution : The correct option is the 138th Session held in Tokyo.
Brisbane was chosen to host the 2032 Olympics and Paralympics at the 138th Session of the IOC Executive Board Meeting on July 21, 2021, in Tokyo, Japan. The
Question : The length of the common chord of two circles of radii 15 cm and 13 cm, whose centres are 14 cm apart, is:
Option 1: 14 cm
Option 2: 12 cm
Option 3: 15 cm
Option 4: 24 cm
Correct Answer: 24 cm
Solution : The radii of the circles are 15 cm and 13 cm. Distance between the centres = 14 cm AB = 15 cm and BC = 13 cm, and AC = 14 cm Let OC = $x$ and AO = $(14 - x)$ Now in
Question : The initial profit percentage on the sale of an item was 55%. If the item's cost price went up by 24%, but the selling price remained the same, what would be the new profit percentage?
Option 1: 36%
Option 2: 25%
Option 3: 28%
Option 4: 33%
Correct Answer: 25%
Solution : Let the cost price of an article be 100. ⇒ profit = 100 × 55% = 55 Now, selling price = 100 + 55 = 155 New cost price = 100 + 100 × 24% = 124 So, new profit = 155 – 124 =
