Question : Find the value of the following expression $2(\tan ^2 A \cos ^2 A+\cos ^2 A)$.

Option 1: 4

Option 2: 1

Option 3: 3

Option 4: 2

Team Careers360 22nd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 2


Solution : $2(\tan ^2 A \cos ^2 A+\cos ^2 A)$
= $2\cos ^2 A(\tan ^2 A + 1)$
= $2\cos ^2 A×\operatorname{sec}^2A$
= $2\cos ^2 A×\frac{1}{\cos^2A}$
= $2$
Hence, the correct answer is 2.

Question : If $l+m+n=0$, then what will be the value of $(\frac{l^2}{mn}+\frac{m^2}{nl}+\frac{n^2}{lm})^2$?

Option 1: 9

Option 2: 16

Option 3: 4

Option 4: 1

Team Careers360 22nd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 9


Solution : Given, $l+m+n=0$
$(\frac{l^2}{mn}+\frac{m^2}{nl}+\frac{n^2}{lm})^2$
$= (\frac{l^3+m^3+n^3}{lmn})^2$
We know, if $l+m+n=0$, then $l^3+m^3+n^3=3lmn$
$= (\frac{3lmn}{lmn})^2$
$= 9$
Hence, the correct answer is 9.
