Question : A, B and C can work separately in 18, 36 and 54 days. They started the work together, but B and C left 5 days and 10 days, respectively, before the completion of the work. In how many days was the work finished?
Option 1: 15 days
Option 2: 13 days
Option 3: 14 days
Option 4: 12 days
Correct Answer: 13 days
Solution : A, B, and C can do work separately in 18, 36, and 54 days Let the total work = LCM (18, 36, and 54) = 108 units Efficiency = $\frac{\text{Total work}}{\text{Number of days}}$ So, Efficiency of A = $\frac{108}{16}$ = 6 Efficiency of B

Solution : Given: IMPROVEMENT
Let's compare all the option words with the word IMPROVEMENT – First option: ROPE; All the letters of ROPE are present in the word IMPROVEMENT. Second option: TRIM; All the letters of TRIM are present in the word IMPROVEMENT. Third option: IMPORTANT; Only
Question : If $\cos 21^{\circ}=\frac{x}{y}$, then $(\operatorname{cosec21^{\circ}}-\cos 69^{\circ})$ is equal to:
Option 1: $\frac{x^{2}}{y\sqrt{y^{2}-x^{2}}}$
Option 2:
$\frac{y^{2}}{x\sqrt{y^{2}-x^{2}}}$
Option 3:
$\frac{y^{2}}{x\sqrt{x^{2}-y^{2}}}$
Option 4: $\frac{x^{2}}{y\sqrt{x^{2}-y^{2}}}$
Correct Answer: $\frac{x^{2}}{y\sqrt{y^{2}-x^{2}}}$
Solution : Given: $\cos 21^{\circ}=\frac{x}{y}$ So, $\cos 69^{\circ}=\cos (90^{\circ}-21^{\circ})=\sin 21^{\circ}= \sqrt{1-\cos^2 21º}=\sqrt{1-\frac{x^2}{y^2}}=\frac{\sqrt{y^2-{x^2}}}{y}$ Also, $\operatorname{cosec21^{\circ}}=\frac{1}{\sin 21^{\circ}}=\frac{y}{\sqrt{y^2-{x^2}}}$ Now, $(\operatorname{cosec21^{\circ}}-\cos 69^{\circ})=\frac{y}{\sqrt{y^2-{x^2}}}-\frac{\sqrt{y^2-{x^2}}}{y}$ ⇒ $(\operatorname{cosec21^{\circ}}-\cos 69^{\circ})=\frac{y^2-(y^2-x^2)}{y\sqrt{y^2-{x^2}}}=\frac{x^{2}}{y\sqrt{y^{2}-x^{2}}}$ Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{x^{2}}{y\sqrt{y^{2}-x^{2}}}$.

Consists is the most appropriate word here because it means to be made up of, and the sentence discusses the components of the human psyche, which consist of the ego, superego, and id.
The meanings of other options
Question : PQ is a tangent of a circle at T. If TR = TS where R and S are points on the circle and $\angle RST=65^{\circ}$, the $\angle PTS=?$
Option 1: $65^{\circ}$
Option 2: $130^{\circ}$
Option 3: $115^{\circ}$
Option 4: $55^{\circ}$
Correct Answer: $115^{\circ}$
Solution :
In $\triangle TRS$ $TR=TS$ $\therefore \angle TRS= \angle RST$ Thus, $\angle TRS=65^\circ$ Now, $\angle STQ$ is the angle between the tangent $PTQ$ and chord $TS$ $\therefore \angle STQ=\angle TRS = 65^\circ$ Tangent $PTQ$ is a straight line, $\therefore \angle PTS+\angle STQ=180^\circ$ ⇒ $\angle PTS+65^\circ=180^\circ$ ⇒
