Question : In a cyclic quadrilateral MNOP, $\angle$M is opposite to $\angle$O, If 2$\angle$O = 3$ \angle$M, then what is the value of $\angle$M?
Option 1: 88°
Option 2: 108°
Option 3: 72°
Option 4: 96°
Correct Answer: 72°
Solution : In a cyclic quadrilateral, the sum of a pair of opposite angles is 180°. ⇒ $\angle$M + $\angle$O = 180° Given that 2$\angle$O = 3$ \angle$M, ⇒ $\angle$O = 1.5$ \angle$M Substituting this into the formula $\angle$M + $\angle$O = 180°, ⇒ $\angle$M + 1.5$\angle$M

Solution : As per mirror image properties, closer things appear closer to the mirror in reflection. If a mirror is placed on line MN according to the given figure, the top and bottom sides of the figure will swap positions. Therefore, what was once on the top side
Question : If $a+b+c=13$ and $a b+b c+c a=45$, find $a^2+b^2+c^2$.
Option 1: 79
Option 2: 65
Option 3: 57
Option 4: 85
Correct Answer: 79
Solution : Given: $a+b+c=13$ and $ab+bc+ca=45$ $a^2 + b^2 + c^2 = (a + b + c)^2 - 2 (ab + bc + ca)$ $= 13^2-2\times 45$ $= 169-90 = 79$ Hence, the correct answer is 79.

Question : The energy that can harness heat stored below the earth's surface is known as:
Option 1: thermal energy
Option 2: nuclear energy
Option 3: tidal energy
Option 4: geothermal energy
Correct Answer: geothermal energy
Solution : The correct option is geothermal energy.
Geothermal energy is energy that can be produced by using heat that is stored under the earth's surface. This type of energy is obtained from the Earth's interior's inherent heat, which comes from the radioactive decay of minerals
Question : The value of $\left(\operatorname{cosec}^2 B-1\right)\left(\sec ^2 B-1\right)$ is:
Option 1: 4
Option 2: 3
Option 3: 2
Option 4: 1
Correct Answer: 1
Solution : Given: $\left(\operatorname{cosec}^2 B-1\right)\left(\sec ^2 B-1\right)$ We know that $\operatorname{cosec}^2 B = 1 + \cot^2 B$ $\sec^2 B = 1 + \tan^2 B$ $\left(\operatorname{cosec}^2 B-1\right)\left(\sec ^2 B-1\right) = \cot^2 B\times\tan^2 B$. $=\cot^2 B \times \tan^2 B = \frac{1}{\tan^2 B}\times\tan^2 B = 1$ Hence, the correct answer
