Question : If water is frozen to become ice, its volume is increased by 10%, then if the ice is melted to water again, its volume will be decreased by:

Option 1: $9$%

Option 2: $9\frac{1}{11}$%

Option 3: $8$%

Option 4: $9\frac{1}{2}$%

Team Careers360 23rd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $9\frac{1}{11}$%

Question : If 7 divides the integer n, then the remainder is 2. What will be the remainder if 9n is divided by 7?

Option 1: 3

Option 2: 5

Option 3: 1

Option 4: 4

Team Careers360 9th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 4


Solution : Let $x$ be the quotient when n is divided by 7.
$n = 7x+2$
When $9n$ is divided by $7$,
$\frac{9n}{7} =\frac{9(7x+2)}{7} = \frac{63x+18}{7} = (9x+2)+\frac{4}{7}$
So, the remainder when $9n$ is divided by $7$ is $4$.
Hence, the correct answer is 4.

Question : Simplify the given expression.
$\sqrt{\frac{1+\cos P}{1-\cos P}}$

Option 1: $\operatorname{cosec}P-\cot P$

Option 2: $\sec P-\tan P$

Option 3: $\sec P+\tan P$

Option 4: $\operatorname{cosec} P+\cot P$

Team Careers360 12th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\operatorname{cosec} P+\cot P$


Solution : Given: $\sqrt{\frac{1+\cos P}{1-\cos P}}$
Multiply the numerator and denominator by $1+\cos P$
$=\sqrt{\frac{(1+\cos P)^2}{(1-\cos P)(1+\cos P)}}$
$=\sqrt{\frac{(1+\cos P)^2}{(1-\cos^2 P)}}$
$=\sqrt{\frac{(1+\cos P)^2}{(\sin^2 P)}}$
$=\frac{(1+\cos P)}{(\sin P)}$
$=\operatorname{cosec}P + \cot P$
Hence, the correct answer is $\operatorname{cosec}P + \cot P$.
