Question : If $\sin \theta+\cos \theta=\frac{1}{29}$, then find the value of $\frac{\operatorname{sin} \theta+\operatorname{cos} \theta}{\operatorname{sin} \theta-\operatorname{cos} \theta}$.
Option 1: $\frac{1}{41}$
Option 2: $\frac{43}{29}$
Option 3: $\frac{41}{29}$
Option 4: $\frac{1}{43}$
Correct Answer: $\frac{1}{41}$
Solution : Given: $\sin \theta+\cos \theta=\frac{1}{29}$ We know that $\sin \theta+\cos \theta=\frac{1}{29}$ Squaring both sides, $(\sin \theta+\cos \theta)^2=\frac{1}{29^2}$ ⇒ $1+2\sin \theta\cos \theta=\frac{1}{841}$ ⇒ $2\sin \theta\cos \theta=\frac{1}{841}-1=-\frac{840}{841}$...(i) Now, $(\sin \theta-\cos \theta)^2=1-2\sin \theta\cos \theta$ From equation (i) $(\sin \theta-\cos \theta)^2=1-(-\frac{840}{841})=\frac{1681}{841}$ ⇒ $(\sin \theta-\cos \theta)=\sqrt{(\frac{1681}{841})}=\frac{41}{29}$ ⇒ $(\sin \theta-\cos \theta) =\frac{41}{29}$

Question : If the heights of two cylinders are in the ratio of 2 : 3 and their radii are in the ratio of 6 : 5, then what is the ratio of the volumes of the cylinders?
Option 1: 24 : 29
Option 2: 21 : 31
Option 3: 24 : 25
Option 4: 28 : 31
Correct Answer: 24 : 25
Solution : Let the heights of the cylinders be $2x$ and $3x$ and radii be $6y$ and $5y$ respectively. Volume of 1st cylinder : Volume of 2nd cylinder $=\pi r_1^2h_1:\pi r_2^2h_2$ $=\pi \times (6y)^2\times 2x:\pi \times(5y)^2\times3x$ $=36y^2\times 2x:25y^2\times3x$ $=72:75$ $=24 : 25$ Hence, the correct
