Question : $2\ \text{cosec}^{2}\: 23°\cot^{2}67°-\sin^{2}23°-\sin^{2}67°-\cot^{2}67°$ is equal to:

Option 1: $1$

Option 2: $\sec^{2}23°$

Option 3: $\tan^{2}23°$

Option 4: $0$

Team Careers360 20th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\sec^{2}23°$


Solution : $2\ \text{cosec}^{2}\: 23°\cot^{2}67°-\sin^{2}23°-\sin^{2}67°-\cot^{2}67°$
$=2\: \frac{1}{\sin^{2}\: 23°}\tan^{2}23°-\sin^{2}23°-\cos^{2}23°-\tan^{2}23°$
$=2\: \frac{1}{\cos^{2}23°}-(\sin^{2}23°+\cos^{2}23°)-\frac{\sin^{2}23°}{\cos^{2}23°}$
$=2\: \frac{1}{\cos^{2}23°}-1-\frac{\sin^{2}23°}{\cos^{2}23°}$
$=\frac{2-\cos^2 23° - \sin^223°}{\cos^2 23°}$
$=\frac{2-1}{\cos^2 23°}$
$=\sec^2 23°$
Hence, the correct answer is $\sec^2 23°$.

Question : The greatest number among the following
$\frac{4}{9},\sqrt{\frac{9}{49}},0.\overline{47},(0.7)^{2}$ is:

Option 1: $\frac{4}{9}$

Option 2: $\sqrt{\frac{9}{49}}$

Option 3: $0.\overline{47}$

Option 4: $(0.7)^{2}$

Team Careers360 21st Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $(0.7)^{2}$


Solution : $\frac{4}{9} = 0.44$
$\sqrt{\frac{9}{49}} = \frac{3}{7} = 0.42$
$0.\overline{47} = 0.4747........$
$(0.7)^{2} = 0.49$
So, the largest number among these is $(0.7)^{2}$.
Hence, the correct answer is $(0.7)^{2}$.

Question : In right angled triangle ABC, if $\angle \mathrm{A}=30^{\circ}$, find the value of $3 \sin \mathrm{A}-4 \sin ^3 \mathrm{~A}$.

Option 1: 2

Option 2: –1

Option 3: –2

Option 4: 1

Team Careers360 21st Jan, 2024

Solution : Given that $\angle A = 30^{\circ}$
We know that, $\sin A = \sin 30°= \frac{1}{2}$
Now, Substitute $\sin A = \frac{1}{2}$ into the expression $3 \sin A - 4 \sin^3 A$:
$3 \sin A - 4 \sin^3 A = 3 \times \frac{1}{2} - 4 \times
