Question : If $\cos\theta = \frac{35}{37}$, then what is the value of $\cot \theta$?
Option 1: $\frac{12}{35}$
Option 2: $\frac{35}{12}$
Option 3: $\frac{37}{12}$
Option 4: $\frac{12}{37}$
Correct Answer: $\frac{35}{12}$
Solution : Given: $\cos \theta = \frac{35}{37}$, $\cos\theta = \frac{\text{Base}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}$ Let base = 35k and hypotenuse = 37k Using Pythagoras theorem, $AB =\sqrt{(37k)^{2}-(35k)^{2}} = 12k$ $\therefore\cot \theta = \frac{\text{Base}}{\text{Perpendicular}}$ = $\frac{35}{12}$ Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{35}{12}$.
Question : 24 men can do a piece of work in 17 days. How many men will be able to do it in 51 days?
Option 1: 8
Option 2: 10
Option 3: 12
Option 4: 6
Correct Answer: 8
Solution : $M_{1}D_{1}=M_{2}D_{2},$ where $M =$ Number of people doing the work and $D =$ Number of days taken to do the work. So, $24 \times 17=M_{2} \times 51$ $⇒M_{2} =\frac{24 \times 17}{51} = 8$ men Hence, the correct answer is 8.
Question : If $\frac{3}{(x+2)(2x+1)}=\frac{a}{2x+1}+\frac{b}{x+2}$ is an identity, the value of $b$ is:
Option 1: 0
Option 2: –1
Option 3: 2
Option 4: 3
Correct Answer: –1
Solution : Given: $\frac{3}{(x+2)(2x+1)}=\frac{a}{2x+1}+\frac{b}{x+2}$ $⇒\frac{3}{(x+2)(2x+1)}=\frac{a(x+2)+b(2x+1)}{(2x+1)(x+2)}$ $⇒3=a(x+2)+b(2x+1)$ To eliminate the term '$a$' we have to put $x = -2$, $⇒3=a(–2+2)+b(2×(–2)+1)$ $⇒3=–3b$ $⇒b=–1$ Hence, the correct answer is –1.
