Question : Which of the following set of angles forms a triangle?
Option 1: 60°, 70°, 80°
Option 2: 60°, 70°, 30°
Option 3: 60°, 40°, 80°
Option 4: 60°, 50°, 80°
Correct Answer: 60°, 40°, 80°
Solution : The sum of all angles of the triangle should be 180°. From the above-given options, only option 2 satisfies the condition. Option 2: 60°, 40°, 80° Sum of angles = 60° + 40° + 80° = 180° Hence, the correct answer is 60°,
Question : Simplify the given expression: $\frac{\sin^2 32^{\circ}+\sin^2 58^{\circ}}{\cos^2 32^{\circ}+\cos^2 58^{\circ}}+\sin^2 53^{\circ}+\cos 53^{\circ} \sin 37^{\circ}$
Option 1: 2
Option 2: –1
Option 3: –2
Option 4: 1
Correct Answer: 2
Solution : We know: $\sin (90^{\circ} -A) = \cos A$ and $\sin^2 A+\cos^2 A = 1$ $\frac{\sin^2 32^{\circ}+\sin^2 58^{\circ}}{\cos^2 32^{\circ}+\cos^2 58^{\circ}}+\sin^2 53^{\circ}+\cos 53^{\circ} \sin 37^{\circ}$ = $\frac{\sin^2 32^{\circ}+\sin^2 (90-32)^{\circ}}{\cos^2 32^{\circ}+\cos ^2 (90-32)^{\circ}}+\sin^2 53^{\circ}+\cos 53^{\circ} \sin (90-53)^{\circ}$ = $\frac{\sin^2 32^{\circ}+\cos^2 32^{\circ}}{\cos^2 32^{\circ}+\sin^2 32^{\circ}}+\sin^2 53^{\circ}+\cos 53^{\circ} \cos 53^{\circ}$ =
Question : If $x:y= 5:2$, then $\frac{8x+9y}{8x +2y}=?$
Option 1: 22 : 29
Option 2: 26 : 61
Option 3: 29 : 22
Option 4: 61 : 26
Correct Answer: 29 : 22
Solution : Given: $\frac{x}{y} = \frac{5}{2}$ ⇒ $x= \frac{5y}{2}$ We have to find $\frac{8x+9y}{8x +2y}$ Putting the value of x in the above equation, $\frac{8\times \frac{5y}{2}+9y}{8\times \frac{5y}{2} +2y} = \frac{4\times 5y+9y}{4\times 5y +2y} = \frac{20y+9y}{20y +2y}=\frac{29y}{22y} = \frac{29}{22}$ $\therefore$ The ratio is 29 : 22
Question : Choose a sentence with no spelling errors.
Option 1: They were iresponsible in performing their dutes.
Option 2: They were irresponcible in perfroming their duties.
Option 3: They were irresponsible in performing ther dutys.
Option 4: They were irresponsible in performing their duties.
Correct Answer: They were irresponsible in performing their duties.
Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option.
The sentence with no spelling error is: They were irresponsible in performing their duties.
