Question : If $\sin \mathrm{C}=\frac{9}{10}$, then what is the value of $\cos ^2 \mathrm{C}$?

Option 1: $\frac{19}{100}$

Option 2: $\frac{81}{\sqrt{19}}$

Option 3: $\frac{19}{10}$

Option 4: $\frac{\sqrt{19}}{100}$

Team Careers360 13th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\frac{19}{100}$


Solution : We know,
$\sin^2 \mathrm{C} + \cos^2 \mathrm{C} = 1$
$⇒\cos^2 \mathrm{C} = 1 - \sin^2 \mathrm{C}$
Substituting $\sin \mathrm{C} = \frac{9}{10}$,
$⇒\cos^2 \mathrm{C} = 1 - \left(\frac{9}{10}\right)^2 = 1 - \frac{81}{100} = \frac{19}{100}$
Hence, the correct answer is $ \frac{19}{100}$.

Question : In an isosceles right-angled triangle, the perimeter is 30 m. Find its area (in m2). (Rounded off to the nearest integral value)

Option 1: 41

Option 2: 36

Option 3: 39

Option 4: 34

Team Careers360 24th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 39


Solution : The perimeter of right-angled isosceles triangle = 30 m
Let the equal sides of the isosceles triangle be $a$ m.
Hence, hypotenuse of the isosceles right angled triangle = $\sqrt{a^2+a^2}=\sqrt2a$
According to the question,
$a+a+\sqrt2a=30$
⇒ $a=\frac{30}{2+\sqrt2}$
⇒ $a=15(2-\sqrt2)$
Area of isosceles right angle triangle

Question : If $\sin (\theta+30°)=\cos 5 \theta$, then what is the value of $\theta$?

Option 1: 30°

Option 2: 10°

Option 3: 15°

Option 4: 20°

Team Careers360 10th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 10°


Solution : Given,
$\sin (\theta+30°)=\cos 5 \theta$
We know, $\sin\theta=\cos(90°-\theta)$
⇒ $\sin (\theta+30°)=\sin(90°-5\theta)$
⇒ $\theta+30°=90°-5\theta$
⇒ $6\theta=60°$
⇒ $\theta=10°$
Hence, the correct answer is 10°.
