Question : The expression $\frac{\cos ^4 \theta-\sin ^4 \theta+2 \sin ^2 \theta+3}{(\operatorname{cosec} \theta+\cot \theta+1)(\operatorname{cosec} \theta-\cot \theta+1)-2}, 0^{\circ}<\theta<90^{\circ}$, is equal to:

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

Option 2: $2 \sin \theta$

Option 3: $\sec \theta$

Option 4: $2\operatorname{cosec} \theta$

Team Careers360 22nd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $2 \sin \theta$


Solution : $\frac{\cos ^4 \theta-\sin ^4 \theta+2 \sin ^2 \theta+3}{(\operatorname{cosec} \theta+\cot \theta+1)(\operatorname{cosec} \theta-\cot \theta+1)-2}, 0^{\circ}<\theta<90^{\circ}$
$=\frac{(cos^2\theta)^2-(\sin^2\theta)^2+2 \sin ^2 \theta+3}{(\operatorname{cosec} \theta+1+\cot \theta)(\operatorname{cosec} \theta+1-\cot \theta)-2}$
$=\frac{(cos^2+\sin^2\theta)(cos^2-\sin^2\theta)+2 \sin ^2 \theta+3}{[(\operatorname{cosec} \theta+1)^2-\cot^2 \theta]-2}$
$=\frac{cos^2+\sin^2\theta +3}{[\operatorname{cosec^2} \theta+1+2\operatorname{cosec \theta}-\cot^2 \theta]-2}$
$=\frac{4}{2+2\operatorname{cosec} \theta-2}$
$=\frac{4}{2\operatorname{cosec} \theta}$
$=2 \sin \theta$
Hence, the correct answer

Question : (91 + 92 + 93 + ... + 110) is equal to:

Option 1: 4020

Option 2: 2010

Option 3: 6030

Option 4: 8040

Team Careers360 18th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 2010


Solution : First term, $a$ = 91
Last term, $l$ = 110
Number of terms, $n$ = 20
The sum of n terms of series = $\frac{n}{2}(a+l)$
The sum of 20 terms of series = $\frac{20}{2}(91+110)=10(91+110)=2010$
Hence, the correct answer is 2010.

Question : A batsman scores 87 runs in the 21st match of his career. His average runs per match increases by 2. What was his average before the 21st match?

Option 1: 45

Option 2: 46

Option 3: 44

Option 4: 43

Team Careers360 23rd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 45


Solution : Let his average before the 21st match be $x$.
New average after 21st match = $(x + 2)$
Total runs before the 21st match = $20x$
Runs scored in the 21st match = 87
⇒ $x + 2$ = $\frac{87 +

Question : Direction: In the given question, select the related letter from the given alternatives.

AG : IO :: EK : ?

Option 1: LR

Option 2: MS

Option 3: PV

Option 4: SY

Team Careers360 23rd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: MS


Solution : Given:

AG : IO :: EK : ?

A + 8 = I ; G + 8 = O; 

Similarly, E + 8 = L ; K + 8 = R

Therefore, LR is the related word.

Hence, the first option is correct.

Question : If the LCM and the HCF of two numbers are 12 and 2 respectively, then find the mean proportional of these numbers.

Option 1: $2 \sqrt{6}$

Option 2: $\sqrt{14}$

Option 3: $2$

Option 4: $\sqrt{6}$

Team Careers360 12th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $2 \sqrt{6}$


Solution : We know that LCM × HCF = Product of two numbers
Now Mean proportion = $\sqrt{\text{Product of two numbers}}$
Given:
LCM = 12
HCF = 2
$\therefore$ Product of two numbers $= 12 \times 2 = 24$
Mean proportion $=\sqrt{24} = \sqrt{4\times 6}=2\sqrt{6}$
Hence
