Question : Simplify the following expression. $\frac{(0.96 \times 0.96 \times 0.96+0.04 \times 0.04 \times 0.04)}{(0.96 \times 0.96-0.96 \times 0.04+0.04 \times 0.04)}$
Option 1: 0
Option 2: 0.82
Option 3: 2
Option 4: 1
Correct Answer: 1
Solution : According to the question, $\frac{(0.96 \times 0.96 \times 0.96+0.04 \times 0.04 \times 0.04)}{(0.96 \times 0.96-0.96 \times 0.04+0.04 \times 0.04)}$ Let $0.96=a, 0.04=b$ So, the equation = $\frac{a^3+b^3}{a^2-ab+b^2}=\frac{(a+b)(a^2-ab+b^2)}{a^2-ab+b^2}=(a+b)$ Putting the value of $a,b$, we get $(0.96+0.04)=1$ Hence, the correct answer is 1.

Question : If $\sec x + \tan x = 5$ and $cosec\; y - \cot y = \frac{1}{3}$, then find the value of $(\sec x + cosec \;y) -(\tan x - \cot y)$.
Option 1: 4.2
Option 2: 3.2
Option 3: 2.2
Option 4: 3.1
Correct Answer: 3.2
Solution : $\sec x + \tan x = 5$ $\sec^2x - \tan^2x = 1$ $⇒ (\sec x + \tan x)(\sec x - \tan x) = 1$ $⇒ 5 \times (\sec x - \tan x) = 1$ $⇒ (\sec x - \tan x) = \frac{1}{5}$ Now, $\operatorname{cosec}y -
