Question : If $\operatorname{cosec B} = \frac{3}{2}$, then what is the value of $\mathrm{\cot B \sin B} $?

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

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

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

Option 4: $\frac{2 \sqrt{5}}{3}$

Team Careers360 15th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\frac{\sqrt{5}}{3}$


Solution : Given that $\operatorname{cosec B} = \frac{3}{2}$.
$\mathrm{\sin B = \frac{2}{3}}$
$⇒\mathrm{\cos B = \sqrt{1 - \sin^2 B} = \sqrt{1 - \left(\frac{2}{3}\right)^2} = \sqrt{1 - \frac{4}{9}} = \sqrt{\frac{5}{9}} = \frac{\sqrt{5}}{3}}$
$⇒\mathrm{\cot B = \frac{\cos B}{\sin B} = \frac{\frac{\sqrt{5}}{3}}{\frac{2}{3}} = \frac{\sqrt{5}}{2}}$
$\therefore \mathrm{\cot B \sin B =

Question : If $\cos^{4}\theta-\sin^{4}\theta=\frac{2}{3}$, then the value of $1-2\sin^{2}\theta$ is:

Option 1: $\frac{2}{3}$

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

Option 3: $1$

Option 4: $0$

Team Careers360 18th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\frac{2}{3}$


Solution : $\cos^{4}\theta-\sin^{4}\theta=\frac{2}{3}$
⇒ $(\cos^{2}\theta-\sin^{2}\theta)(\cos^{2}\theta+\sin^{2}\theta) = \frac{2}{3}$
We know that, $\cos^{2}\theta+\sin^{2}\theta= 1$
⇒ $(\cos^{2}\theta-\sin^{2}\theta)=\frac{2}{3}$
Putting the value of $\cos^{2}\theta = 1-\sin^{2}\theta$
⇒ $(1-\sin^{2}\theta-\sin^{2}\theta)=\frac{2}{3}$
$\therefore(1-2\sin^{2}\theta)=\frac{2}{3}$
Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{2}{3}$.

Question : $\triangle\mathrm{ABC}$ is a right angled triangle. $\angle \mathrm{A}=90°$, $AB = 4$ cm, and $BC = 5$ cm. What is the value of $\cos B + \cot C$?

Option 1: $\frac{17}{20}$

Option 2: $\frac{29}{20}$

Option 3: $\frac{23}{20}$

Option 4: $\frac{31}{20}$

Team Careers360 17th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\frac{31}{20}$


Solution :
Using the Pythagoras theorem we get, 
$AC^2=BC^2-AB^2$
⇒ $AC=\sqrt{5^2-4^2}$
⇒ $AC=3$ cm
Now, $\cos B=\frac{4}{5}$ and $\cot C=\frac{3}{4}$
So, $\cos B + \cot C=\frac{4}{5}+\frac{3}{4}=\frac{31}{20}$
Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{31}{20}$.

Question : Directions:
The expenditure of a family in a month is represented by a pie chart. Read it carefully to answer the question.


The % of money spent on food compared to house rent is:

Option 1: 25%

Option 2: 12.5%

Option 3: 50%

Option 4: none

Team Careers360 19th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 25%


Solution : Money spent on food = 150°
Percentage of money spent on food $=\frac{150}{360}×100=41.67$
Money spent on house rent = 120°
Percentage of money spent on food $=\frac{120}{360}×100=33.33$
Difference of percentage = 41.67 – 33.33 = 8.34%
$\therefore$ The % of money spent on food compared

Question : The pie chart given here shows the spending of a country on various sports during a year. Study the graph carefully to answer these questions.

If the total amount spent on sports during the year was INR 1,50,00,000, then the amount spent on Cricket and hockey together was:

Option 1: INR 60,00,000

Option 2: INR 75,00,000

Option 3: INR 50,00,000

Option 4: INR 37,50,000

Team Careers360 16th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: INR 60,00,000


Solution : The total amount spent on sports during the year was INR 1,50,00,000.
Percentage of amount spent on Cricket and hockey together = 20% + 20% = 40%
So, the amount spent on Cricket and hockey together = $\frac{40}{100}\times 15000000$ = 60,00,000
Hence, the correct
