Question : $\triangle PQR$ is a right-angled triangle. $\angle Q = 90^\circ$, PQ = 12 cm, and QR = 5 cm. What is the value of $\operatorname{cosec}P+\sec R$?

Option 1: $\frac{26}{5}$

Option 2: $\frac{13}{5}$

Option 3: $\frac{18}{5}$

Option 4: $\frac{14}{5}$

Team Careers360 17th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\frac{26}{5}$


Solution :
As $PR^2=PQ^2+QR^2$
⇒ $PR^2=12^2+5^2$
⇒ $PR^2=144+25$
⇒ $PR^2=169$
⇒ $PR=\sqrt{169}$
⇒ $PR=13$ cm
Now, $\operatorname{cosec} \ P=\frac{PR}{QR}=\frac{13}{5}$
and $\sec R=\frac{PR}{QR}=\frac{13}{5}$
$\therefore \operatorname{cosec} \ P+\sec R=\frac{13}{5}+\frac{13}{5}=\frac{26}{5}$
Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{26}{5}$.

Question : Which of the following equations has 7 as a root?

Option 1: $3x^2-6x+2=0$

Option 2: $x^2-9x+14=0$

Option 3: $x^2-7x+10=0$

Option 4: $x^2+3x-12=0$

Team Careers360 21st Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $x^2-9x+14=0$


Solution : Given:
Option 1:
$3x^2-6x+2=0$
Using the quadratic formula, we get,
$⇒x=\frac{6\pm\sqrt{(-6)^2-4.3.2}}{2.3}$
So, $x=\frac{\sqrt3+3}{3}$ or $x=\frac{-\sqrt{3}+3}{3}$
So, the value of $x\neq7$.
Option 2:
$x^2-9x+14=0$
$⇒x^2-7x-2x+14=0$
$⇒(x-7)(x-2)=0$
$\therefore x = 7$ or $x = 2$
Here, the value of $x=7$.
Hence, the correct answer is $x^2-9x+14=0$.
