Question : If $x\sin^{3}\theta +y\cos^{3}\theta=\sin\theta\cos\theta$ and $x\sin\theta-y\cos\theta=0$, then the value of $\left ( x^{2}+y^{2} \right )$ equals:
Option 1: $1$
Option 2: $\frac{1}{2}$
Option 3: $\frac{3}2$
Option 4: $2$
Correct Answer: $1$
Solution : Given: $x\sin\theta=y\cos\theta$ And, $x\sin^{3}\theta +y\cos^{3}\theta=\sin\theta\cos\theta$ ⇒ $x\sin\theta(\sin^{2}\theta) +y\cos\theta(\cos^{2}\theta)=\sin\theta\cos\theta$ Since, $x\sin\theta=y\cos\theta$ and $\sin^{2}\theta+\cos^{2}\theta=1$, So, $x\sin\theta=y\cos\theta=\sin\theta\cos\theta$ ⇒ $x=\cos\theta$ and $y=\sin\theta$ So, $x^{2}+y^{2}=\sin^{2}\theta+\cos^{2}\theta=1$ Hence, the correct answer is 1.
Question : If $\frac{2 p}{p^2-5 p+1}=\frac{1}{10}, p \neq 0$, then the value of $\left(p+\frac{1}{p}\right)$ is:
Option 1: 10
Option 2: 25
Option 3: 1
Option 4: 15
Correct Answer: 25
Solution : $\frac{2 p}{p^2-5 p+1}=\frac{1}{10}$ ⇒ $p^2-5 p+1$ = $20p$ ⇒ $p^2-25 p+1$ = $0$ ⇒ $p+\frac{1}{p}-25$ = $0$ ⇒ $p+\frac{1}{p}$ = $25$ Hence, the correct answer is 25.
Question : The Vedic Aryans lived in the area called Sapt-Sindhu, which means area drained by seven rivers. One of the rivers among the seven is Jhelum. What was its ancient name?

Question : A man does double the work done by a boy at the same time. The number of days that 3 men and 4 boys will take to finish a work that can be done by 10 men in 8 days is:
Option 1: $4$
Option 2: $16$
Option 3: $7\frac{3}{11}$
Option 4: $8\frac{4}{5}$
Correct Answer: $16$
Solution : Let the efficiency of 1 man and 1 boy be m and b respectively. m = 2b m : b = 2 : 1 We know that, work = efficiency × time So, work done by 10 men in 8 days = 2 × 10
