Question : If $\sin\theta+\operatorname{cosec}\theta=2$, the value of $\sin^{n}\theta+\operatorname{cosec}^{n}\theta$ is:
Option 1: $2^{n}$
Option 2: $2^{\frac{1}{n}}$
Option 3: $2$
Option 4: $0$
Correct Answer: $2$
Solution : Given: $\sin\theta+\operatorname{cosec}\theta=2$ Squaring both sides, we get: $(\sin\theta+cosec\theta)^{2}=2^{2}$ ⇒ $\sin^{2}\theta+\operatorname{cosec}^{2}\theta+2\sin\theta×\operatorname{cosec}\theta=4$ ⇒ $\sin^{2}\theta+\operatorname{cosec}^{2}\theta=4–2$ ⇒ $\sin^{2}\theta+\operatorname{cosec}^{2}\theta=2$ Similarly, $(\sin\theta+\operatorname{cosec}\theta)^{3}=2^{3}$ ⇒ $\sin^{3}\theta+\operatorname{cosec}^{3}\theta+\sin\theta×\operatorname{cosec}\theta×(\sin\theta+\operatorname{cosec}\theta)=8$ ⇒ $\sin^{3}\theta+\operatorname{cosec}^{3}\theta+3×2=8$ ⇒ $\sin^{3}\theta+\operatorname{cosec}^{3}\theta=2$ Similarly, we can say the value of $\sin^{n}\theta+\operatorname{cosec}^{n}\theta$ will be 2. Hence, the correct answer is $2$.
Question : A merchant marked the price of an article by increasing its production cost by 40%. Now he allows a 20% discount and gets a profit of Rs. 48 after selling it. The production cost is:
Option 1: Rs. 320
Option 2: Rs. 360
Option 3: Rs. 400
Option 4: Rs. 440
Correct Answer: Rs. 400
Solution : Let the production cost of the article be Rs. $y$. Here, $a$ = 40%, $b$ = –20% Effective percentage = $a+b+\frac{ab}{100}$% $\therefore$ Effective percentage = $40 − 20 −\frac{40\times 20}{100}$% = (20 – 8)% = 12% According to the question, 12% of $y$ =
