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: $\frac{12}{37}$

Team Careers360 15th Jan, 2024

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

Team Careers360 15th Jan, 2024

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

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

Team Careers360 17th Jan, 2024

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.
