Question : If $\tan \alpha=\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$ and $\tan \beta=\sqrt{3}$ then what is the value of $\cos (\alpha+\beta)$?

Option 1: 0.2

Option 2: 0

Option 3: 0.5

Option 4: 1

Team Careers360 24th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 0


Solution : $\tan \alpha=\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$
⇒ $\alpha = 30^{\circ}$
$\tan \beta=\sqrt{3}$
⇒ $ \beta = 60^{\circ}$
So, $\cos (\alpha+\beta)$
= $\cos (30^{\circ}+60^{\circ})$
= $\cos (90^{\circ}) = 0$
Hence, the correct answer is 0.

Question : The marked price of an item was Rs. 480 but the shopkeeper offered a discount of 5%. At what price does he finally sell the item?

Option 1: Rs. 435

Option 2: Rs. 450

Option 3: Rs. 466

Option 4: Rs. 456

⇒ Selling price = Rs. 456
Therefore, the item is finally sold at Rs. 456.
Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 456.

Question : What is the value of $\frac{\frac{5}{6} \text { of } \frac{1}{3} \times \frac{12}{25}-\frac{1}{3} \text { of } \frac{5}{6} \times \frac{18}{25}}{\frac{25}{12} \text { of } \frac{1}{6} \times \frac{2}{5}+\frac{3}{8} \text { of } \frac{12}{25} \times \frac{5}{6}}$?

Option 1: $-\frac{3}{13}$

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

Option 3: $-\frac{8}{25}$

Option 4: $-\frac{3}{25}$

Team Careers360 24th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $-\frac{3}{13}$


Solution : Given: $\frac{\frac{5}{6} \text { of } \frac{1}{3} \times \frac{12}{25}-\frac{1}{3} \text { of } \frac{5}{6} \times \frac{18}{25}}{\frac{25}{12} \text { of } \frac{1}{6} \times \frac{2}{5}+\frac{3}{8} \text { of } \frac{12}{25} \times \frac{5}{6}}$
$=\frac{\frac{5}{18}\times \frac{12}{25}- \frac{5}{18} \times \frac{18}{25}}{\frac{25}{72} \times \frac{2}{5}+\frac{9}{50} \times \frac{5}{6}}$
$=\frac{\frac{2}{15}-\frac{1}{5}}{\frac{5}{36}+\frac{3}{20}}$
$=\frac{\frac{2-3}{15}}{\frac{25+27}{180}}$
$=\frac{-1}{15}\times \frac{180}{52}$
$=-\frac{3}{13}$
Hence,

Question : The sum of all internal angles of a regular polygon whose one external angle is $20^\circ$ is:

Option 1: $6400^\circ$

Option 2: $3200^\circ$

Option 3: $2880^\circ$

Option 4: $1440^\circ$

Team Careers360 23rd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $2880^\circ$


Solution : The number of sides $(n)$ in a regular polygon,
$⇒n = \frac{360^\circ}{E}$
where $E$ is the external angle.
Substituting $E = 20^\circ$ into the equation.
$⇒n = \frac{360^\circ}{20^\circ} = 18$
The polygon has 18 sides.
The sum $(S)$ of all internal angles of a polygon,
