Option 1: $\frac{1}{\sqrt2}$

Option 2: $\frac{1}{2}$

Option 3: $\frac{\sqrt3}{2}$

Option 4: $1$

Team Careers360 21st Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\frac{1}{2}$


Solution : Given: $\sin(60^{\circ}-x)=\cos(y+60^{\circ})$
⇒ $\cos(90^{\circ}-60^{\circ}+x)=\cos(y+60^{\circ})$
⇒ $30^{\circ}+x=y+60^{\circ}$
⇒ $x-y=30^{\circ}$
Now, $\sin(x-y)$
= $\sin(30^{\circ})$
= $\frac{1}{2}$
Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{1}{2}$.

Question : If ${P}+\frac{1}{{P}}=5$, then what is the value of ${P}^3+\frac{1}{{P}^3}$?

Option 1: 110

Option 2: 95

Option 3: 125

Option 4: 120

Team Careers360 16th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 110


Solution : ${P}+\frac{1}{{P}}=5$
Cubing both sides, we get,
$(a+b)^3 = a^3 + b^3 + 3ab(a+b)$
⇒ $({P}+\frac{1}{{P}})^3=5^3$
⇒ $P^3 + \frac{1}{P^3} + 3(P+\frac{1}{P})=125$
⇒ $P^3 + \frac{1}{P^3} + 3(5)= 125$
⇒ $P^3+\frac{1}{P^3}= 125-15$
⇒ $P^3 + \frac{1}{P^3} = 110$
Hence, the correct answer is 110.
