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: $\frac{3}{\sqrt{2}}$
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
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, $\frac{x^2}{(y z)}+\frac{y^2}{(x z)}+\frac{z^2}{(x y)}$ $=\frac{x^2(xz)(xy)+y^2(yz)(xy)+z^2(yz)(xz)}{(yz)(xz)(xy)}$
