Question : In an equilateral triangle ABC, P is the centroid of this triangle. Side of $\triangle A B C$ is $16 \sqrt{3} \ \text{cm}$. What is the distance of point P from side BC?

Option 1: 8 cm

Option 2: 12 cm

Option 3: 9 cm

Option 4: 10 cm

Team Careers360 21st Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 8 cm


Solution :
Height $=$ AD $=\frac{\sqrt3}{2}\times \text{side} = \frac{\sqrt3}{2}\times 16\sqrt{3} = 24$ cm
Now, AP : PD = 2 : 1
Let AP = $2x$ and PD = $x$, Then, PD = $3x$
Here, $3x=24$
⇒ $x=8$ cm
Hence, the correct answer is 8 cm.

Question : If $x=\operatorname{cosec \theta}-\sin\theta$ and $y=\sec\theta-\cos\theta$, then the relation between $x$ and $y$ is:

Option 1: $x^{2}+y^{2}+3=1$

Option 2: $x^{2}y^{2}\left ( x^{2}+y^{2}+3 \right )=1$

Option 3: $x^{2}\left ( x^{2}+y^{2}-5 \right )=1$

Option 4: $y^{2}\left ( x^{2}+y^{2}-5 \right )=1$

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $x^{2}y^{2}\left ( x^{2}+y^{2}+3 \right )=1$


Solution : $x=\operatorname{cosec \theta}-\sin\theta$
⇒ $x=\frac{1}{\sin\theta}-\sin\theta=\frac{1-\sin^2\theta} {\sin\theta}=\frac{\cos^2\theta}{\sin\theta}$
Also, $x^2=(\frac{\cos^2\theta}{\sin\theta})^2$_____ (i)
$y=\sec\theta-\cos\theta$
⇒ $y=\frac{1}{\cos\theta}-\cos\theta=\frac{1-\cos^2\theta}{\cos\theta}=\frac{\sin^2\theta}{\cos\theta}$
⇒ $y^2=(\frac{\sin^2\theta}{\cos\theta})^2$_____ (ii)
So, $x^2+y^2=(\frac{\cos^2\theta}{\sin\theta})^2+(\frac{\sin^2\theta}{\cos\theta})^2$
⇒ $x^2+y^2=\frac{\cos^4\theta}{\sin^2\theta}+\frac{\sin^4\theta}{\cos^2\theta}$
⇒ $x^2+y^2=\frac{\cos^6\theta+\sin^6\theta}{\sin^2\theta\cos^2\theta}$
Add 3 to both sides, we get,
⇒ $x^2+y^2+3=\frac{\cos^6\theta+\sin^6\theta}{\sin^2\theta\cos^2\theta}+3$
⇒ $x^2+y^2+3=\frac{\cos^6\theta+\sin^6\theta+3\sin^2\theta\cos^2\theta(\sin^2\theta+\cos^2\theta)}{\sin^2\theta\cos^2\theta}$
⇒ $x^2+y^2+3=\frac{(\cos^2\theta+\sin^2\theta)^3}{\sin^2\theta\cos^2\theta}$
⇒ $x^2+y^2+3=\frac{1}{\sin^2\theta\cos^2\theta}$
⇒ $x^2+y^2+3=\frac{\sin^2\theta\cos^2\theta}{\sin^4\theta\cos^4\theta}$
⇒ $x^2+y^2+3=\frac{1}{(\frac{\cos^2\theta}{\sin\theta})^2×(\frac{\sin^2\theta}{\cos\theta})^2}$
From equation
