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

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

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 : 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: $4$

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

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

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

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 $\frac{3}{2}$.
