Question : If $x+3y=-3x+y$, then $\frac{x^{2}}{2y^{2}}$ is equal to:

Option 1: $\frac{1}{8}$

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

Option 3: $\frac{1}{4}$

Option 4: $4$

Team Careers360 19th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\frac{1}{8}$


Solution : Given:
$x+3y=-3x+y$
Solution:
⇒ $x+3y+3x-y=0$
⇒ $4x+2y=0$
⇒ $2(2x+y)=0$
⇒ $2x+y=0$
⇒ $y=–2x$
Put the value of $y$ in $\frac{x^{2}}{2y^{2}}$
= $\frac{x^{2}}{2(–2x)^{2}}$
= $\frac{x^{2}}{8x^{2}}$
= $\frac{1}{8}$
Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{1}{8}$.

Question : If $\cot A=1, \sin B=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$, find the value of $\sin (A+B)-\cot (A+B)$.

Option 1: $1-\sqrt{2}$

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

Option 3: $0$

Option 4: $1$

Team Careers360 15th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $1$


Solution : $\cot A = 1= \cot 45°$
$\therefore A = 45°$
$\sin B = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}=\sin45°$
$\therefore B = 45°$
$\sin (A+B) = \sin 90° = 1$
$\cot (A+B) = \cot 90° = 0$
$\therefore \sin (A+B) -\cot (A+B) =1-0= 1$
Hence, the correct answer is $1$.

Question : The volume of a hemisphere is $2425 \frac{1}{2} \mathrm{~cm}^3$. Find its radius.
$\left(\right.$ Take $\left.\pi=\frac{22}{7}\right)$

Option 1: 12 cm

Option 2: 10 cm

Option 3: 10.5 cm

Option 4: 9.5 cm

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 10.5 cm


Solution : The volume of hemisphere = $2425 \frac{1}{2} \mathrm{~cm}^3$
Volume of Hemisphere = $\frac{2}{3} × \pi r^3$
⇒ $\frac{2}{3} × \frac{22}{7} × r^3 =  \frac{4851}{2} \mathrm{~cm}^3$
⇒ $r^3 = 1157.63$
⇒ $r = 10.5$ cm
$\therefore$ The correct answer is 10.5 cm.
Hence, the correct

Question : If $α$ is an acute angle, $\tan (4α − 50°) = \cot (50° − α)$, then find the value of $α$ (in degrees).

Option 1: 60

Option 2: 45

Option 3: 30

Option 4: 90

Team Careers360 17th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 30


Solution : $\tan (4α − 50°)$ = $\cot (50° − α)$ = $\tan(90°–(50° − α))$
⇒ $\tan (4α − 50°)$ = $\tan(90°–(50° − α))$
⇒ $(4α − 50°) = 90°–(50° − α)$
⇒ $4α − 50° = 40°+α$
⇒ $3α = 90°$
⇒ $α = 30°$
Hence,

Question : If $\left(x+\frac{1}{x}\right)=5 \sqrt{2}$, then what is the value of $\left(x^4+x^{-4}\right)$?

Option 1: 2542

Option 2: 2650

Option 3: 2452

Option 4: 2302

Team Careers360 11th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 2302


Solution : Given: $\left(x+\frac{1}{x}\right)=5 \sqrt{2}$
Squaring both sides, we get,
⇒ $(x+\frac{1}{x})^2=(5 \sqrt{2})^2$
⇒ $x^2+\frac{1}{x^2}+2=50$
⇒ $x^2+\frac{1}{x^2}=48$
Again squaring both sides, we get:
⇒ $(x^2+\frac{1}{x^2})^2=48^2$
⇒ $x^4+\frac{1}{x^4}+2=2304$
$\therefore x^4+\frac{1}{x^4}=2302$
Hence, the correct answer is 2302.
