Question : What is the value of $\frac{4}{3}\left(\sin ^2 35^{\circ}+\sin ^2 55^{\circ}\right) ?$

Option 1: $\frac{2}{3}$

Option 2: $\frac{4}{3}$

Option 3: $\frac{8}{9}$

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

Question : $P(4,2)$ and $R(–2,0)$ are vertices of a rhombus $PQRS$. What is the equation of diagonal $QS$?

Option 1: $x–3y=–2$

Option 2: $3x+y=4$

Option 3: $3x+y=–4$

Option 4: $x–3y=2$

Team Careers360 19th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $3x+y=4$


Solution :
$QS$ perpendicularly bisects the diagonal joining $P(4,2)$ and $R(–2,0)$ at $O$, thus $O$ is the mid-point of $PR$ and $QS$.
Co-ordinates of point $O$ = $(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2},\frac{y_1+y_2}{2})$
= $(\frac{4–2}{2},\frac{2+0}{2})=(1,1)$
The slope of the straight line $PR$
= $\frac{y_2–y_1}{x_2–x_1}=\frac{0–2}{–2–4}$
= $\frac{–2}{–6}=\frac{1}{3}$
We know that $m_1m_2=–1$ $(\because PR\perp
