Question : If A = $\frac{1}{7}$ and B = $\frac{1}{8}$ and the average of A, B and C is $\frac{1}{13}$, then the value of C is:
Option 1: $-\frac{31}{728}$
Option 2: $-\frac{27}{728}$
Option 3: $-\frac{89}{728}$
Option 4: $-\frac{49}{728}$
Correct Answer: $-\frac{27}{728}$
Solution : Given: A = $\frac{1}{7}$ and B = $\frac{1}{8}$ The average of A, B, and C = $\frac{1}{13}$ Total of A, B, and C = $\frac{1}{13}×3=\frac{3}{13}$ C = $\frac{3}{13}-(\frac{1}{7}+\frac{1}{8})$ ⇒ C = $\frac{3}{13}-\frac{15}{56}$ $\therefore$ C = $-\frac{27}{728}$ Hence, the correct answer is $-\frac{27}{728}$.

Question : What is the value of $\frac{1+\sin A}{\cos ^2 A}$?
Option 1: $\frac{1}{1-\sin A}$
Option 2: $\frac{1}{1+\sin A}$
Option 3: $\frac{1}{1+\cos A}$
Option 4: $\frac{1}{1-\cos A}$
Correct Answer: $\frac{1}{1-\sin A}$
Solution : $\frac{1+\sin A}{\cos ^2 A}$ = $\frac{1+\sin A}{1-\sin^2 A}$ = $\frac{1+\sin A}{(1-\sin A)(1+\sin A)}$ = $\frac{1}{1-\sin A}$ Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{1}{1-\sin A}$.

Option 1: 2.8
Option 2: 0.7
Option 3: 25.2
Option 4: 6.4
Correct Answer: 25.2
Solution : Assume the fourth proportion be $x$ So, $\frac{1.4}{8.4}$ = $\frac{4.2}{x}$ ⇒ $x$ = 8.4 × 3 ⇒ $x$ = 25.2 Hence, the correct answer is 25.2.
