Option 4: 21,000

Team Careers360 15th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 20,000


Solution : Let $x$ be the total number of votes.
Number of votes casted = 80% of $x$ = $\frac{80}{100}×x$
Number of invalid votes = 2% of votes cast 
Number of valid votes = 98% of votes cast= $\frac{98}{100}×\frac{80}{100}×x$

Question : If $\cos\theta+\sin\theta=m$ and $\sec\theta+\operatorname{cosec \theta}=n$, then the value $n\left ( m^{2}-1 \right )$ is equal to:

Option 1: $2m$

Option 2: $mn$

Option 3: $4mn$

Option 4: $2n$

Team Careers360 14th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $2m$


Solution : We know that $\cos\theta+\sin\theta=m$ and $\sec\theta+\operatorname{cosec \theta}=n$.
$⇒n\left ( m^{2}-1 \right ) = \left(\frac{1}{\cos\theta}+\frac{1}{\sin\theta}\right)\left((\cos\theta+\sin\theta)^{2}-1\right)$
$⇒n\left ( m^{2}-1 \right ) = \left(\frac{1}{\cos\theta}+\frac{1}{\sin\theta}\right)\left(\cos^{2}\theta+2\sin\theta\cos\theta+\sin^{2}\theta-1\right)$
We know that $\cos^{2}\theta+\sin^{2}\theta=1$,
$⇒n\left ( m^{2}-1 \right ) = \left(\frac{1}{\cos\theta}+\frac{1}{\sin\theta}\right)\left(2\sin\theta\cos\theta\right)$
$⇒n\left ( m^{2}-1 \right ) = 2\sin\theta\cos\theta\left(\frac{1}{\cos\theta}+\frac{1}{\sin\theta}\right)$
$⇒n\left ( m^{2}-1 \right ) =
