Option 3: 18,000

Option 4: 19,000

Team Careers360 24th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 18,270


Solution : Bhushan's monthly income = INR 45,000
Bhushan's monthly expenditure = INR 33,000
Monthly income after 22% increase = 45,000 × $\frac{122}{100}$ = INR 54,900
Monthly expenditure after 11% increase = 33,000 × $\frac{111}{100}$ = INR 36,630
New monthly savings = INR (54,900 – 36,630) =

Question : If $\cos \theta=\frac{9}{13}$, then what is the value of $\operatorname{cosec} \theta$?

Option 1: $\frac{13}{\sqrt{22}}$

Option 2: $\frac{13 \sqrt{22}}{44}$

Option 3: $\frac{2 \sqrt{22}}{13}$

Option 4: $\frac{\sqrt{22}}{13}$

Team Careers360 13th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\frac{13 \sqrt{22}}{44}$


Solution : Given,
$\cos\theta = \frac{9}{13}$
We know, $\sin^2\theta+\cos^2\theta=1$
⇒ $\sin θ = \sqrt{(1 - \cos^2θ)}$
⇒ $\sin θ = \sqrt{(1 - (\frac{9}{13})^2)}$
⇒ $\sin θ = \sqrt{1 - \frac{81}{169}}$
⇒ $\sin θ = \sqrt{\frac{88}{169}}=\frac{2\sqrt{22}}{13}$
⇒ $\operatorname{cosec} θ = \frac{1}{\sin θ}=\frac{13}{2\sqrt{22}} = \frac{13\sqrt{22}}{44}$
Hence, the correct
