Question : The value of $\frac{\sqrt{72}\times \sqrt{363}\times \sqrt{175}}{\sqrt{32}\times \sqrt{147}\times \sqrt{252}}$ is:

Option 1: $\frac{55}{42}$

Option 2: $\frac{45}{56}$

Option 3: $\frac{45}{28}$

Option 4: $\frac{55}{28}$

Team Careers360 21st Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\frac{55}{28}$


Solution : $\frac{\sqrt{72}\times \sqrt{363}\times \sqrt{175}}{\sqrt{32}\times \sqrt{147}\times \sqrt{252}}$
$=\sqrt{\frac{72}{32}} \times \sqrt{\frac{363}{147}} \times \sqrt{\frac{175}{252}}$
Simplifying each square root,
$=\sqrt{\frac{9}{4}} \times \sqrt{\frac{121}{49}} \times \sqrt{\frac{25}{36}}$
$=\frac{3}{2} \times \frac{11}{7} \times \frac{5}{6} = \frac{55}{28}$
Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{55}{28}$.

Question : Find the value of $\frac{\cos^{2}25^\circ-\sin^{2}65^\circ}{\cos^{2}25^\circ+\sin^{2}65^\circ}$

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

Option 2: $1$

Option 3: $–1$

Option 4: $0$

Team Careers360 12th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $0$


Solution : Given:
$\frac{\cos^{2}25^\circ-\sin^{2}65^\circ}{\cos^{2}25^\circ+\sin^{2}65^\circ}$
= $\frac{\cos^{2}25^\circ-\sin^{2}(90^\circ-25^\circ)}{\cos^{2}25^\circ+\sin^{2}(90^\circ-25^\circ)}$
= $\frac{\cos^{2}25°-\cos^{2}25°}{\cos^{2}25°+\cos^{2}25°}$
= $\frac{0}{2\cos^{2}25^\circ}$
= $0$
Hence, the correct answer is $0$.

Question : Which of the following statements is true?
I. $\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{6}+\frac{1}{12}+\ldots \ldots \frac{1}{110}<\frac{5}{6}$
II. $\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{15}+\frac{1}{35}+\ldots \ldots \frac{1}{143}>\frac{7}{13}$

Option 1: Only I

Option 2: Both I and II

Option 3: Only II

Option 4: Neither I nor II

Team Careers360 24th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Neither I nor II


Solution : Statement I:
$\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{6}+\frac{1}{12}+\ldots \ldots \frac{1}{110}<\frac{5}{6}$
Expand LHS
$⇒\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2\times{3}}+\frac{1}{3\times{4}}+\ldots \ldots \frac{1}{10\times{11}}<\frac{5}{6}$
$⇒\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{3}-\frac{1}{4}+\ldots \ldots \frac{1}{10}-\frac{1}{11}<\frac{5}{6}$
$⇒1-\frac{1}{11}<\frac{5}{6}$
$⇒\frac{10}{11}<\frac{5}{6}$
which is wrong,
So, statement I is incorrect.
Statement II:
$\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{15}+\frac{1}{35}+\ldots \ldots \frac{1}{143}>\frac{7}{13}$
$⇒\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{3\times5}+\frac{1}{5\times7}+\ldots \ldots \frac{1}{11\times13}>\frac{7}{13}$
$⇒\frac{1}{3}+\frac{2}{2}[\frac{1}{3\times5}+\frac{1}{5\times7}+\ldots \ldots \frac{1}{11\times13}]>\frac{7}{13}$
$⇒\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{2}[\frac{1}{3}-\frac{1}{5}+\frac{1}{5}-\frac{1}{7}+\ldots \ldots \frac{1}{11}-\frac{1}{13}]>\frac{7}{13}$
$⇒\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{2}[\frac{1}{3}-\frac{1}{13}]>\frac{7}{13}$
$⇒\frac{1}{3}+\frac{5}{39}>\frac{7}{13}$
$⇒\frac{6}{13}>\frac{7}{13}$
which is
