Question : If $x+y=4, x^{2}+y^{2}=14$ and $x>y$, then the correct value of $x$ and $y$ is:

Option 1: $2+\sqrt{3} \text{ and } 2-\sqrt{3}$

Option 2: $2-\sqrt{2} \text{ and } \sqrt{3}$

Option 3: $3 \text{ and } 1$

Option 4: $2+\sqrt{3} \text{ and } 2\sqrt{2}$

Team Careers360 20th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $2+\sqrt{3} \text{ and } 2-\sqrt{3}$


Solution : Given: $x^{2}+y^{2}=14$ -----------(i)
⇒ $x+y=4$ ----------------(ii)
Squaring on both sides of equation (ii),
$(x+y)^{2} = 4^{2}$
⇒ $x^{2}+y^{2}+2xy = 16$
⇒ $14+2xy = 16$
⇒ $2xy = 2$
Subtracting $2xy$ on both sides from equation (i)
$x^{2}+y^{2}-2xy = 14-2xy$
⇒ $(x-y)^{2}

Question : $\triangle$XYZ is right angled at Y. If $\cos X=\frac{3}{5}$, then what is the value of $\operatorname{cosec}Z$?

Option 1: $\frac{3}{4}$

Option 2: $\frac{5}{3}$

Option 3: $\frac{4}{5}$

Option 4: $\frac{4}{3}$

Team Careers360 17th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\frac{5}{3}$


Solution :
Given: $\triangle$XYZ is right-angled at Y and $\cos X=\frac{3}{5}$
Since $\triangle$XYZ is right-angled at Y,
So, X + Z = 90°
⇒ X = 90° – Z
Now, $\cos X=\frac{3}{5}$
⇒ $\cos(90°–Z)=\frac{3}{5}$
⇒ $\sin Z=\frac{3}{5}$
$\therefore\operatorname{cosec}Z=\frac{5}{3}$ [$\because$ $\operatorname{cosec}Z=\frac{1}{\sin Z}$]
Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{5}{3}$.
