Question : A vendor loses the selling price of 4 oranges on selling 36 oranges. His loss percent is:

Option 1: $12\frac{1}{2}\%$

Option 2:

$9\%$

Option 3:

$10\%$

Option 4:

$11\frac{1}{2}\%$

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer:

$10\%$


Solution : Let the selling price of one orange = Re. 1
The selling price of 36 oranges = Rs. 36
Loss on 36 oranges = Rs. 4
The cost price of 36 oranges = 36 + 4 = Rs. 40
Loss percentage = $\frac{\text{Loss}}{\text {Cost Price}}$

Question : Directions: Select the number from among the given options that can replace the question mark (?) in the following series.
183, 173, 153, 123, 83, ?

Option 1: 43

Option 2: 33

Option 3: 23

Option 4: 53

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 33


Solution : Given:
183, 173, 153, 123, 83, ?

Subtract multiples of 10 to the previous number to obtain the next number.
183 – 10 = 173, 173 – 20 = 153, 153 – 30 = 123, 123 – 40 = 83, 83 – 50 = 33

Question : Let ABC be a triangle right-angled at B. If $\tan A = \frac{12}{5}$, then find the values of $\operatorname{cosec A}$ and $\sec A$, respectively.

Option 1: $\frac{13}{10}, \frac{5}{13}$

Option 2: $\frac{13}{12},\frac{13}{5}$

Option 3: $\frac{10}{13}, \frac{5}{13}$

Option 4: $\frac{12}{13}, \frac{5}{13}$

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\frac{13}{12},\frac{13}{5}$


Solution : Given, $\tan A=\frac{12}{5}$
$\tan A = \frac{\text{perpendicular}}{\text{base}}$
Using pythagoras theorem,
$\small\text{Hypotenuse}^2=\text{Base}^2+\text{Perpendicular}^2$
⇒ $h^2=5^2+12^2$
⇒ $h^2=25+144$
⇒ $h^2=169$
⇒ $h=13$
$\therefore$ $\operatorname{cosec A}=\frac{\text{Hypotenuse}}{\text{Perpendicular}}=\frac{13}{12}$
And, $\sec A=\frac{\text{Hypotenuse}}{\text{Base}}=\frac{13}{5}$
Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{13}{12},\frac{13}{5}$.

Question : If $\theta$ is a positive acute angles and $\operatorname{cosec}\theta =\sqrt{3}$, then the value of $\cot \theta -\operatorname{cosec}\theta$ is:

Option 1: $\sqrt2-\sqrt3$

Option 2: $\frac{\sqrt{2}(3+\sqrt{3})}{3}$

Option 3: $\frac{\sqrt{2}(3-\sqrt{3})}{3}$

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

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\sqrt2-\sqrt3$


Solution : Given: $\operatorname{cosec}\theta=\sqrt3$
$⇒\frac{1}{\sin\theta}=\sqrt3$
$⇒\sin\theta=\frac{1}{\sqrt3}$
We know that,
$\cos\theta = \sqrt{1-\sin^2\theta}=\sqrt{1-(\frac{1}{\sqrt3})^2}=\sqrt{1-\frac{1}{3}}=\sqrt\frac{2}{3}$
So, $\cot\theta-\operatorname{cosec}\theta$
$=\frac{\cos\theta}{\sin\theta}-\operatorname{cosec}\theta$
$=\frac{\sqrt\frac{2}{3}}{\frac{1}{\sqrt3}}-\sqrt3$
$=\sqrt\frac{2}{3}×\sqrt3-\sqrt3$
$=\sqrt2-\sqrt3$
Hence, the correct answer is $\sqrt2-\sqrt3$.
