Question : If $2 \sec ^2 \theta-9 \sec \theta+7=0$, then what is the value of $\cos ^2 \theta+\sec ^2 \theta$?
Option 1: 2
Option 2: 3
Option 3: 5
Option 4: 1
Correct Answer: 2
Solution : Given: $2 \sec ^2 \theta-9 \sec \theta+7=0$ Let $\sec\theta = x$ Now, $2x ^2-9x+7=0$ ⇒ $2x ^2-9x+7=0$ ⇒ $2x ^2-2x-7x+7=0$ ⇒ $2x(x-1)-7(x-1)=0$ $\therefore x = 1, \frac{7}{2}$ Now, $\cos ^2 \theta+\sec ^2 \theta$ $=\frac{1}{\sec ^2 \theta}+\sec ^2 \theta$ $=\frac{1}{x^2}+x^2 $ Putting the value of $x=1$,

Question : What is the value of x? If x = 0.05 × 0.36 ÷ 0.4 + 0.055 + 1.50 ÷ 0.03
Option 1: 45.9
Option 2: 50.1
Option 3: 55.1
Option 4: 49.9
Correct Answer: 50.1
Solution : x = 0.05 × 0.36 ÷ 0.4 + 0.055 + 1.50 ÷ 0.03 ⇒ x = 0.05 × 0.9 + 0.055 + 50 ⇒ x = 0.045 + 0.055 + 50 ⇒ x = 50.1 Hence, the correct answer is 50.1.
Question : The cost of 4 rings and 2 bangles of gold is INR 40,000. What is the cost of 10 rings and 5 bangles?
Option 1: INR 1,00,000

Option 3: INR 1,20,000
Option 4: INR 90,000
Correct Answer: INR 1,00,000
Solution : Let the cost price of 1 ring and 1 bangle be Rs.$x$ and Rs.$y$, respectively. According to the question, $4x + 2y = 40000$ $⇒2.5 (4x + 2y) = 2.5 \times 40000$ $\therefore5x + 10y =100000$ Hence, the correct answer is INR 1,00,000.
