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: $0$
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 : Directions: Select the combination of letters that when sequentially placed in the blanks of the given series will complete the series. Z_XW_ZYXXW_YYXW_
Option 1: ZYWZ
Option 2: YWZZ
Option 3: ZZYY
Option 4: WYZY
Correct Answer: YWZZ
Solution : Given: Z_XW_ZYXXW_YYXW_
To fill the series we have to divide the series – Z_XW / _ZYX / XW_Y / YXW_ Let's check each option – First option: ZYWZ; ZZXW / YZYX / XWWY / YXWZ (No repeated pattern has
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: $(0.7)^{2}$
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
Correct Answer: 1
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
