Question : What is the present value of the sum if the interest compounded at the rate of 18% per annum for two years is 981?
Option 1: INR 2,800
Option 2: INR 2,500
Option 3: INR 3,600
Option 4: INR 2,400
Correct Answer: INR 2,500
Solution : Given: Compound interest = 981 $r=18$% $t=2$ years Solve by using the formula: Compound interest = $P[(1+\frac{r}{100})^{t}–1]$ to get the desired value where $P$ is principal, $r$ is the rate of interest and $t$ is the time in years. Putting the value in the
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: $\frac{2}{5}$
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 : Directions: Identify the correct response from the given premises stated according to the symbols. In a certain code language, – represents ×, ÷ represents +, + represents ÷ and × represents –. Find out the answer to the following equation. 19 ÷ 2 – 35 + 10 × 6 = ?
Option 1: 20
Option 2: 14
Option 3: 32
Option 4: 27
Correct Answer: 20
Solution : Given: 19 ÷ 2 – 35 + 10 × 6 = ?
After replacing the signs as per the direction given in the question, the equation becomes – 19 + 2 × 35 ÷ 10 – 6 = 19 + 2 × 3.5 – 6
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: $1$
Correct Answer: $0$
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: $4$
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 $\frac{1}{16}$.
