Question : If Q = net charge, t = time, then which of the following equations is correct?
Option 1: t =Q × I
Option 2: I = Q/t
Option 3: Q = A/t
Option 4: I = Q× t
Correct Answer: I = Q/t
Solution : The correct answer is I = Q/t.
In the specified time interval t, the total charge moving over the region in a forward direction is Q=Q+ - Q-. If the current is constant, then Q is equal to t.
Question : The value of $\sqrt{\frac{1+\cos A}{1-\cos A}}$ is:
Option 1: $\sec A – \tan A$
Option 2: $\operatorname{cosec} A + \cot A$
Option 3: $\sec A + \tan A$
Option 4: $\operatorname{cosec} A – \cot A$
Correct Answer: $\operatorname{cosec} A + \cot A$
Solution : Given, $\sqrt{\frac{1+\cos A}{1-\cos A}}$ $=\sqrt{\frac{1+\cos A}{1-\cos A}\times \frac{1+\cos A}{1+\cos A}}$ $=\sqrt{\frac{(1+\cos A)^2}{(1-\cos A)(1+\cos A)}}$ $=\sqrt{\frac{(1+\cos A)^2}{1-\cos^2A}}$ [Using $\small(a-b)(a+b)=a^2-b^2$] $=\sqrt{\frac{(1+\cos A)^2}{\sin^2A}}$ $=\frac{1+\cos A}{\sin A}$ $=\frac{1}{\sin A}+\frac{\cos A}{\sin A}$ $=\operatorname{cosec}A+\cot A$ Hence, the correct answer is $\operatorname{cosec}A+\cot A$.
Question : Directions: In the following question, a sentence is given with a blank that is to be filled in with an appropriate word. Four alternatives are suggested; choose the correct alternative out of them as your answer.
The smell of the sea called ____________ memories of her childhood.

Option 1: 455
Option 2: 465
Option 3: 565
Option 4: 568
Correct Answer: 568
Solution : Given: 124, 235, 346, 457, ?
In the given series, add 111 to the previous number to obtain the next number. 124 + 111 = 235; 235 + 111 = 346; 346 + 111 = 457; 457 + 111 = 568
So, 568 is the
As they climb (1) / higher, the air (2) / became cooler. (3) / No Error (4)
Option 1: (1)
Option 2: (2)
Option 3: (3)
Option 4: (4)
