Question : Etika purchased a set of wallpapers for INR 700 and the marked price of a set was INR 850. The approximate rate of discount was:

Option 1: 25.34%

Option 2: 12.65%

Option 3: 22.5%

Option 4: 17.64%

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 17.64%


Solution : Selling price = INR 700 and the marked price = INR 850
Discount = 850 – 700 = 150
$\therefore$ Rate of discount = $\frac{150}{850}\times 100 = 17.64\%$
Hence, the correct answer is 17.64%.

Question : If $\sqrt{2} \sec ^2 \theta-4 \sec \theta+2 \sqrt{2}=0$, then what is the value $\sin ^2 \theta+\tan ^2 \theta$?

Option 1: $\frac{1}{2}$

Option 2: $\frac{2}{3}$

Option 3: $\frac{5}{2}$

Option 4: $\frac{3}{2}$

Team Careers360 21st Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\frac{3}{2}$


Solution : $\sqrt{2} \sec ^2 \theta-4 \sec \theta+2 \sqrt{2}=0$
$⇒\sqrt{2} \sec ^2 \theta-2 \sec \theta-2 \sec \theta+2 \sqrt{2}=0$
$⇒\sqrt{2} \sec \theta( \sec \theta-\sqrt2)-2( \sec \theta- \sqrt{2})=0$
$⇒( \sec \theta-\sqrt2)(\sqrt{2} \sec \theta-2)=0$
$⇒( \sec \theta-\sqrt2)=0$
$⇒ \sec \theta=\sqrt2=\sec 45^\circ$
$⇒ \theta=45^\circ$
$\therefore\sin ^2 \theta+\tan ^2 \theta=\sin ^2 45^\circ+\tan

Question : What is the remainder when $3^8$ is divided by 7?

Option 1: 5

Option 2: 4

Option 3: 6

Option 4: 2

Team Careers360 17th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 2


Solution : To find: The remainder when $3^8$ is divided by 7
= remainder ($\frac{3^8}{7}$)
= remainder ($\frac{(3^2)^4}{7}$)
= remainder ($\frac{(9)^4}{7}$)
9 divided by 7 will leave the remainder of 2.
So, remainder = remainder ($\frac{2^4}{7})$
= remainder ($\frac{16}{7}$)
= 2
Hence, the correct answer is 2.
