Question : What is the value of $\sin 75^{\circ}+\sin 15^{\circ}$?

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

Option 2: $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$

Option 3: $\sqrt{\frac{3}{2}}$

Option 4: $\frac{3}{\sqrt{2}}$

Team Careers360 18th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\sqrt{\frac{3}{2}}$


Solution : Let $t=\sin 15^\circ+\sin75^\circ$
Now, $t=\sin 15^\circ+\cos (90-75)^\circ$
$⇒t=\sin 15^\circ+\cos 15^\circ$
Squaring on both sides, we get,
$t^2=\sin^2 15^\circ+\cos^2 15^\circ+2\sin15^\circ \cos15^\circ$
$⇒t^2=1+\sin 30^\circ$
$⇒t^2=1+\frac{1}{2}$
$\therefore t=\sqrt{\frac{3}{2}}$
Hence, the correct answer is $\sqrt{\frac{3}{2}}$.

Question : If $x+y+z=0$, then what is the value of $\frac{x^2}{(y z)}+\frac{y^2}{(x z)}+\frac{z^2}{(x y)}$?

Option 1: 1

Option 2: 0

Option 3: 2

Option 4: 3

Team Careers360 17th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 3


Solution : Given: $x+y+z=0$
Cubing both sides, we get,
$⇒(x+y+z)^3=0$
$⇒x^3 + y^3 + z^3 + 3(x+y)(y+z)(z+x)=0$
$⇒x^3+y^3+z^3 = -3(x+y)(y+z)(z+x)$ ......(1)
From the given equation ($x+y+z=0$), we can get,
$x+y=-z,$ $y+z=-x$ and $z+x=-y$
Putting in (1), we get,
$x^3+y^3+z^3 = -3(-z)(-x)(-y)=3xyz$
Consider, $\frac{x^2}{(y z)}+\frac{y^2}{(x z)}+\frac{z^2}{(x y)}$
$=\frac{x^2(xz)(xy)+y^2(yz)(xy)+z^2(yz)(xz)}{(yz)(xz)(xy)}$
