Question : A man can row 10 km/hr in still water. When the river is running at a speed of 4.5 km/hr, then it takes him 2 hours to row to a place and comes back to the initial point. How far is the place (in km) (rounded off to two decimal places)?

Option 1: 5.50

Option 2: 8.98

Option 3: 7.98

Option 4: 6.25

Team Careers360 20th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 7.98


Solution : Downstream speed = (10 + 4.5) = 14.5 km/hr
Upstream speed = (10 – 4.5) = 5.5 km/hr
Let the distance be $x$ km.
According to the question,
$\frac{x}{14.5}+\frac{x}{5.5}=2$
⇒ $\frac{10x}{145}+\frac{10x}{55}=2$
⇒ $550x+1450x=2×145×55$
⇒ $2000x=2×145×55$
⇒ $x=\frac{2×145×55}{2000}$
⇒ $x= 7.975 \approx 7.98$ km
Hence, the

Question : The expression $\frac{\tan ^6 \theta-\sec ^6 \theta+3 \sec ^2 \theta \tan ^2 \theta}{\tan ^2 \theta+\cot ^2 \theta+2}, 0^{\circ}<\theta<90^{\circ}$, is equal to:

Option 1: $\sec ^2 \theta \operatorname{cosec}^2 \theta$

Option 2: $-\sec ^2 \theta \operatorname{cosec}^2 \theta$

Option 3: $\cos ^2 \theta \sin ^2 \theta$

Option 4: $-\cos ^2 \theta \sin ^2 \theta$

Team Careers360 21st Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $-\cos ^2 \theta \sin ^2 \theta$


Solution : $\frac{\tan ^6 \theta-\sec ^6 \theta+3 \sec ^2 \theta \tan ^2 \theta}{\tan ^2 \theta+\cot ^2 \theta+2}$
Since $0^{\circ}<\theta<90^{\circ}$, putting $\theta=45^{\circ}$
$\frac{\tan ^6 45^{\circ}-\sec ^6 45^{\circ}+3 \sec ^2 45^{\circ} \tan ^2 45^{\circ}}{\tan ^2 45^{\circ}+\cot ^245^{\circ}+2}$
$=\frac{1-(\sqrt2)^6+ 3\times (\sqrt2)^2\times 1}{1+1+2}$
$=\frac{1-8+6}{1+1+2}=-\frac{1}{4}$

Question : Simplify the given expression.
$
\frac{432 \times 432+247 \times 247-432 \times 247}{432 \times 432 \times 432+247 \times 247 \times 247}
$

Option 1: $\frac{1}{259}$

Option 2: $\frac{1}{185}$

Option 3: $\frac{1}{679}$

Option 4: $\frac{1}{450}$

Team Careers360 15th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\frac{1}{679}$


Solution : $\frac{432^2+247^2-432 \times 247}{432^3+247^3}$
Using identity $x^3+y^3 = (x+y)(x^2+y^2-x \times y)$, 
$\frac{432^2+247^2-432 \times 247}{(432+247)(432^2+247^2-432 \times 247)}$
$=\frac{1}{(432+247)}$
$= \frac{1}{679}$
Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{1}{679}$.
