Question : If $\sin \theta \cos \theta=\frac{\sqrt{2}}{3}$,then the value of $\left(\sin ^6 \theta+\cos ^6 \theta\right)$ is:

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

Option 2: $\frac{4}{3}$

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

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

Team Careers360 23rd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\frac{1}{3}$


Solution : Given: $\sin \theta \cos \theta=\frac{\sqrt{2}}{3}$
$\left(\sin ^6 \theta+\cos ^6 \theta\right)=(\sin^2 \theta +\cos^2 \theta)(\sin^4 \theta + \cos^4 \theta-\sin^2 \theta\cos^2 \theta)$
⇒ $\left(\sin ^6 \theta+\cos ^6 \theta\right)=(\sin^2 \theta +\cos^2 \theta)((\sin^2 \theta + \cos^2 \theta)^2-3\sin^2 \theta\cos^2 \theta)$
⇒ $\left(\sin ^6 \theta+\cos ^6 \theta\right)=(1)((1)^2-3(\frac{\sqrt{2}}{3})^2)$
⇒ $\left(\sin ^6 \theta+\cos ^6

Question : If $\sec \beta+\tan \beta=2$, then what is the value of $\cot \beta$?

Option 1: $\frac{5}{3}$

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

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

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

Team Careers360 19th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\frac{4}{3}$


Solution : Given: $\sec \beta+\tan \beta=2$..........(1)
We know that $\sec^2 \beta-\tan^2 \beta=1$
⇒ $(\sec \beta-\tan \beta)(\sec \beta+\tan \beta)=1$
⇒ $(\sec \beta-\tan \beta)=\frac{1}{2}$...............(2)
Subtracting equation (2) from equation (1), we get:
⇒ $2\tan\beta=2-\frac{1}{2}=\frac{3}{2}$
⇒ $\tan\beta= \frac{3}{4}$
$\therefore \cot\beta=\frac{4}{3}$
Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{4}{3}$.

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 23 : 72


Solution : Given:
7 : 24 :: ? : ?

Like, 7: 24→(7 × 3) + 3= 21 + 3 = 24
Let's check the options –
First option: 30 : 100; (30 × 3) + 3 = 90 + 3 = 93 ≠ 100

Question : If p + q = 12 and pq = 14, then find the value of p– pq + q2.

Option 1: 192

Option 2: 181

Option 3: 102

Option 4: 144

Team Careers360 19th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 102


Solution : Given: $p + q = 12$ and $pq = 14$
Squaring both sides, we get,
$(p + q)^2 = 12^2$
⇒ $p^2 + 2pq + q^2=144$
⇒ $p^2 + 2\times14 + q^2=144$
⇒ $p^2 + q^2 =144- 28$
⇒ $p^2 + q^2 =116$
$\therefore p^2+q^2-pq=116-14=102$

Option 4: Adiabatic process

Team Careers360 16th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Isobaric process


Solution : The correct option is the Isobaric process.

When air is blown through an open pipe, it represents an isobaric process. This is because the open end maintains an equal pressure inside and outside, which ensures constant pressure. Although the volume changes as the
