Question : A sum of INR 1,50,000 is distributed among three persons - A, B, and C - so that they receive 20%, 30% and 50%, respectively. A receives the same amount from another sum of money which is distributed among them so that they receive 50%, 30%, and 20%, respectively. Find the total amount received from both sums of money, by B.
Option 1: INR 58,000
Option 2: INR 60,000
Option 3: INR 55,000
Option 4: INR 63,000
Correct Answer: INR 63,000
Solution : Given: A sum of INR 1,50,000 is distributed among three persons - A, B, and C - so that they receive 20%, 30%, and 50%, respectively. A receive the amount = $\frac{20}{100}\times 150000=$ INR 30,000. B receive the amount = $\frac{30}{100}\times 150000=$ INR 45,000.

Question : Which of the following numbers is divisible by 99?
Option 1: 31548
Option 2: 60687
Option 3: 44775
Option 4: 84456
Correct Answer: 60687

Question : If $(2+\sqrt{3})a=(2-\sqrt{3})b=1$, then the value of $\frac{1}{a}+\frac{1}{b}$ is:
Option 1: $1$
Option 2: $2$
Option 3: $2\sqrt{3}$
Option 4: $4$
Correct Answer: $4$
Solution : $(2+\sqrt{3})a=(2-\sqrt{3})b=1$ $(2+\sqrt{3})a=1$ $⇒ a = \frac{1}{2+\sqrt{3}}$ $⇒ \frac{1}{a} = 2-\sqrt{3}$ Again, $(2-\sqrt{3})b=1$ $⇒ b = \frac{1}{2-\sqrt{3}}$ $⇒ \frac{1}{b} = 2+\sqrt{3}$ $\frac{1}{a} + \frac{1}{b}=2-\sqrt{3}+2+\sqrt{3}$ $\frac{1}{a} + \frac{1}{b}=4$ Hence, the correct answer is $4$.

Question : If $\operatorname{cosec}\theta+\sin\theta=\frac{5}{2}$, then the value of $(\operatorname{cosec}\theta-\sin\theta)$ is:
Option 1: $-\frac{3}{2}$
Option 2: $\frac{3}{2}$
Option 3: $-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$
Option 4: $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$
Correct Answer: $\frac{3}{2}$
Solution : Given: $\operatorname{cosec}\theta+\sin\theta=\frac{5}{2}$ ⇒ $\frac{1}{\sin\theta}+\sin\theta=\frac{5}{2}$ ⇒ $\frac{1+\sin^{2}\theta}{\sin\theta}=\frac{5}{2}$ ⇒ $2\sin^{2}\theta-5\sin\theta+2=0$ ⇒ $2\sin^{2}\theta-4\sin\theta-1\sin\theta+2=0$ ⇒ $2\sin\theta (\sin\theta-2)-1(\sin\theta-2)=0$ ⇒ $(\sin\theta-2)(2\sin\theta-1)=0$ ⇒ $\sin\theta= 2,\frac{1}{2}$ $\sin\theta$'s value can't be 2. So, $\sin\theta=\frac{1}{2}=\sin30^{\circ}$ ⇒ $\theta=30^{\circ}$ $\operatorname{cosec}\theta-\sin\theta$ $=\operatorname{cosec}30^{\circ}-\sin30^{\circ}$ $= 2-\frac{1}{2}$ $=\frac{3}{2}$ Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{3}{2}$.
