Question : If $\small x+3y-\frac{2z}{4}=6, \; x+\frac{2}{3}(2y+3z)=33$ and $\frac{1}{7}(x+y+z)+2z=9,$ then what is the value of $46x+131y$?

Option 1: 414

Option 2: 364

Option 3: 384

Option 4: 464

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 414


Solution : Given:
$x+3y-\frac{2z}{4} = 6$, $x+\frac{2}{3}(2y+3z) = 33\;$ and $\frac{1}{7}(x+y+z)+2z = 9$
Solution:
$4x+12y-2z = 24......(i)$
$3x+4y+6z = 99.......(ii)$
$x+y+15z = 63........(iii)$
Multiplying equation (i) by 3, we get,
$12x+36y-6z = 72......(iv)$
Now adding equation (ii) and (iv) we get,
$15x+40y = 171.......(v)$
Multiplying equation (ii)

Question : If $ \frac{k-k \cot ^2 30^{\circ}}{1+\cot ^2 30^{\circ}}=\sin ^2 60^{\circ}+4 \tan ^2 45^{\circ}-\operatorname{cosec}^2 60^{\circ}$, then the value of k (correct to two decimal places) is:

Option 1: 5.55

Option 2: – 6.83

Option 3: – 5.58

Option 4: 6.83

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: – 6.83


Solution : Computing RHS,
$\sin ^2 60^{\circ}+4 \tan ^2 45^{\circ}-\operatorname{cosec}^2 60^{\circ} = (\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2})^2+4\times1^2-(\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}})^2$
⇒ $\sin ^2 60^{\circ}+4 \tan ^2 45^{\circ}-\operatorname{cosec}^2 60^{\circ} = \frac{3}{4}+4-\frac{4}{3}$
⇒ $\sin ^2 60^{\circ}+4 \tan ^2 45^{\circ}-\operatorname{cosec}^2 60^{\circ} = \frac{41}{12}$
Computing LHS,
$ \frac{k-k \cot ^2 30^{\circ}}{1+\cot ^2 30^{\circ}} = k(\frac{1- (\sqrt{3})^2}{1+(\sqrt{3})^2})$
