Question : $\triangle \mathrm{RMS}$ is right-angled at M. The length of the base, RM = 4 cm and the length of perpendicular MS = 3 cm. Find the value of $\sec R$.

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

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

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

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

Team Careers360 17th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\frac{5}{4}$


Solution :
$\triangle \mathrm{RMS}$ is a right-angled triangle
⇒ $SR^2=SM^2+MR^2$
⇒ $SR^2=3^2+4^2=9+16=25$
⇒ $SR=\sqrt{25}=5$
$\therefore$ $\sec R =\frac{SR}{MR}=\frac{5}{4}$
Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{5}{4}$.

Question : Find the value of $\tan (50°+\theta)-\operatorname{cot}(40°-\theta)$.

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

Option 2: $-1$

Option 3: $0$

Option 4: $1$

Team Careers360 16th Jan, 2024

Solution : $\tan (50°+\theta)-\cot(40°-\theta)$
We know, $\cot(90°-x)=\tan x$
$=\tan(50°+\theta)-\cot(90°-(50°+\theta))$
$=\tan(50°+\theta)-\tan(50°+\theta)$
$=0$
Hence, the correct answer is $0$.

Question : If $\sqrt{y}=4x$, then $\frac{x^{2}}{y}$ is:

Option 1: $2$

Option 2: $\frac{1}{16}$

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

Option 4: $4$

Team Careers360 18th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\frac{1}{16}$


Solution : Given: $\sqrt{y}=4x$
Squaring on both sides,
⇒ $y = (4x)^2 = 16x^2$
⇒ $\frac{x^2}{y}$ = $\frac{1}{16}$
Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{1}{16}$.
