Option 1: $3\frac{3}{13}$%

Option 2: $4$%

Option 3: $4\frac{1}{13}$%

Option 4: $3\frac{11}{13}$%

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $3\frac{11}{13}$%


Solution : Let the volume of liquid be 100.
After freezing, it increases by 4% = 104
After melting, it decreases by = $\frac{4}{104} × 100$ = $3\frac{22}{26}$ = $3\frac{11}{13}$%
Hence, the correct answer is $3\frac{11}{13}$%.

Question : In $\triangle \mathrm{PQR}, \angle \mathrm{P}=46^{\circ}$ and $\angle \mathrm{R}=64^{\circ}$.If $\triangle \mathrm{PQR}$ is similar to $\triangle \mathrm{ABC}$ and in correspondence, then what is the value of $\angle \mathrm{B}$?

Option 1: 70°

Option 2: 90°

Option 3: 100°

Option 4: 110°

Team Careers360 14th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 70°


Solution : $\angle$P = 46$^{\circ}$
$\angle$R = 64$^{\circ}$
In correspondence with $\triangle$PQR, we have $\triangle$ABC. Let's denote the corresponding angles of $\triangle$ABC as $\angle$A, $\angle$B, and $\angle$C.
According to the property of similar triangles, the corresponding angles of similar triangles are equal. So,
$\angle$P = $\angle$A
$\angle$Q

Question : If $\small p^{3}-q^{3}=\left (p-q \right )\left \{ \left (p-q \right)^{2}-xpq \right \}$, then find the value of $x$.

Option 1: 3

Option 2:  –3

Option 3: 1

Option 4:  –1

Team Careers360 12th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer:  –3


Solution : As we know $p^3 - q^3 = (p - q)(p^2 + pq + q^2)$
Comparing $\small p^{3}-q^{3}=\left (p-q \right )\left \{ \left (p-q \right)^{2}-xpq \right \}$ with the above identity, we get,
$p^2 + pq + q^2 = (p-q)^2-xpq$
⇒ $p^2 + pq + q^2

Question : If $\sin \theta=\frac{5}{13}$, then what is the value of $\frac{\cos ^{2} \theta-\sin ^{2} \theta}{2 \cos \theta \cdot \sin \theta}?$

Option 1: $\frac{117}{136}$

Option 2: $\frac{113}{120}$

Option 3: $\frac{115}{126}$

Option 4: $\frac{119}{120}$

Team Careers360 23rd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\frac{119}{120}$


Solution : Given,
$\sin \theta=\frac{5}{13}$
We know, $\cos\theta=\sqrt{1-\sin^2\theta}$
⇒ $\cos\theta=\sqrt{1-\frac{5^2}{13^2}}$
⇒ $\cos\theta=\sqrt{\frac{13^2-{5^2}}{13^2}}$
⇒ $\cos\theta=\frac{\sqrt{13^2-5^2}}{13}$
⇒ $\cos\theta=\frac{\sqrt{169-25}}{13}$
⇒ $\cos\theta=\frac{12}{13}$
$\therefore\frac{\cos ^{2} \theta-\sin ^{2} \theta}{2 \cos \theta \cdot \sin \theta}=\frac{\frac{12^2}{13^2}-\frac{5^2}{13^2}}{2\times\frac{12}{13}\times\frac{5}{13}}=\frac{144-25}{2\times12\times5}=\frac{119}{120}$
Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{119}{120}$.
