Question : If $K+\frac{1}{K}=-3$, then what is the value of $\left(\frac{K^6+1}{K^3}\right)+\left(\frac{K^4+1}{K^2}\right)$?

Option 1: 27

Option 2: – 29

Option 3: 29

Option 4: – 27

Team Careers360 24th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: – 29


Solution : Given equation,
$K+\frac{1}{K}=-3$ ..........(1)
Squaring the equation, we get,
$(K+\frac{1}{K})^2=(-3)^2$
$K^2 + \frac{1}{K^2} + 2 = 9$
⇒ $K^2 + \frac{1}{K^2} = 7$ ...........(2)
Cubing equation (1), we get
$(K+\frac{1}{K})^3 = (-3)^3$
⇒ $K^3 + \frac{1}{K^3} + 3\cdot K\cdot\frac{1}{K}(K+\frac{1}{K}) = -27$
⇒ $K^3+\frac{1}{K^3}+3(-3) =

Question : If in a right-angled $\triangle P Q R$, $\tan Q=\frac{5}{12}$, then what is the value of $\cos Q$?

Option 1: $\frac{12}{5}$

Option 2: $\frac{13}{5}$

Option 3: $\frac{12}{13}$

Option 4: $\frac{5}{13}$

Team Careers360 24th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\frac{12}{13}$


Solution :
Given, $\tan Q = \frac{5}{12}$
We know, $\tan\theta = \frac{\text{Perpendicular}}{\text{Base}}$
Applying Pythagoras theorem,
$\small\text{Hypotenuse}^2 = \text{Perpendicular}^2+\text{Base}^2$
⇒ $\text{H}^2=5^2+12^2$
⇒ $\text{H}^2 = 25 + 144$
⇒ $\text{H}=\sqrt{169}$
⇒ $\text{H} = 13\ \text{units}$
Now, $\cos\theta = \frac{\text{Base}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}$
⇒ $\cos Q = \frac{12}{13}$
Hence, the correct answer is

Question : In a triangle $PQR$, $QR$ is produced to $S$. If $\angle PRS=(9x-15^{\circ}), \angle RPQ=2x$ and $\angle PQR = (4{x}+15^{\circ})$, what is the value of $x$?

Option 1: 55

Option 2: 20

Option 3: 10

Option 4: 75

Team Careers360 24th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 10


Solution :
Given: $\angle PRS=(9x-15^{\circ}), \angle RPQ=2x$ and $\angle PQR=(4{x}+15^{\circ})$
Applying exterior angle property, we get:
$\angle PRS=\angle RPQ+\angle PQR$
⇒ $(9x-15^{\circ}) = 2x+(4{x}+15^{\circ})$
⇒ $3x=30^{\circ}$
⇒ $x=10^{\circ}$
Hence, the correct answer is 10.

Question : If a number is as much greater than 31 as it is less than 75, then the number is:

Option 1: 106

Option 2: 44

Option 3: 74

Option 4: 53

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 53


Solution : Let the number be X.
Then, according to the question,
X – 31 = 75 – X
⇒ 2X = 75 + 31
⇒ 2X = 106
⇒ X = $\frac{106}{2}$
⇒ X = 53
Hence, the correct answer is 53.
