Question : The value of $\frac{\cos65^\circ}{\sin25^\circ}+\frac{\cos55^\circ}{\sin35^\circ}-\tan50^\circ\cot50^\circ$ is equal to:
Option 1: 2
Option 2: 0
Option 3: –1
Option 4: 1
Correct Answer: 1
Solution : Given: $\frac{\cos65^\circ}{\sin25^\circ}+\frac{\cos55^\circ}{\sin35^\circ}-\tan50^\circ\cot50^\circ$ = $\frac{\cos65^\circ}{\sin(90^\circ-65^\circ)}+\frac{\cos55^\circ}{\sin(90^\circ-55^\circ)}-\tan50^\circ\frac{1}{\tan50^\circ}$ = $\frac{\cos65^\circ}{\cos65^\circ}+\frac{\cos55^\circ}{\cos55^\circ}-1$ = $1+1-1$ = $1$ Hence, the correct answer is 1.

Question : Refer to the below data table and answer the following question.
If 400 calories are burnt by jogging 5 km, how many calories were burnt in the given week?
Option 1: 1410 calories
Option 2: 1360 calories
Option 3: 1310 calories
Option 4: 1260 calories
Correct Answer: 1360 calories
Solution : Jogging for 5 km burns 400 calories. ⇒ 1 km of jogging burns $\frac{400}{5}=80$ calories ⇒ The total distance covered in a week = 2.5 + 4 + 2.5 + 3.5 + 0.5 + 2.5 + 1.5 = 17 km $\therefore$ 17 km of

Question : The value of $\frac{\sin 25^{\circ}\cos 65^{\circ}+\cos 25^{\circ}\sin 65^{\circ}}{\tan ^{2}70^{\circ}-cosec^{2}20^{\circ}}$ is:
Option 1: –1
Option 3: 1
Option 4: 2
Correct Answer: –1
Solution : $\frac{\sin 25^{\circ}\cos 65^{\circ}+\cos 25^{\circ}\sin 65^{\circ}}{\tan ^{2}70^{\circ}-\operatorname{cosec}^{2}20^{\circ}}$ $=\frac{\sin 25^{\circ}\sin 25^{\circ}+\cos 25^{\circ}\cos 25^{\circ}}{\tan ^{2}70^{\circ}-\operatorname{cosec}^{2}20^{\circ}}$ $= \frac{\sin^2 25^{\circ}+\cos^225^{\circ}}{\tan^{2}70^{\circ}-\sec^{2}70^{\circ}}$ $= \frac{1}{-(\sec^ {2}70^{\circ}-\tan^ {2}70^{\circ})}$ $= -1$ Hence, the correct answer is –1.
