Question : If $\sin (A-B)=\frac{1}{2}$ and $\sin (A+B)=1$, where A and B are positive acute angles and $ A \geq B$ then A and B are respectively:

Option 1: 80° and 10°

Option 2: 60° and 30°

Option 3: 70° and 20°

Option 4: 50° and 40°

Team Careers360 10th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 60° and 30°


Solution : $\sin (A-B)=\frac{1}{2}$
⇒ $\sin (A-B)=\sin 30^\circ$
⇒ $(A - B) = 30^\circ$
⇒ $A = 30^\circ + B$
And
$\sin (A+B)=1$
⇒ $\sin (A+B)=\sin 90^\circ$
⇒ $(A+B) = 90^\circ$
⇒ $30^\circ + B + B = 90^\circ$
⇒ $2B = 60^\circ$
⇒ $B

Question : A vessel initially contains 60 litres of milk. First, 12 litres of milk is taken out from the vessel and replaced with water. The process is repeated a second time by taking out the same amount of milk and replacing it with water. What is the final ratio of milk to water in the resultant mixture?

Option 1: 15 : 10

Option 2: 16 : 9

Option 3: 9 : 5

Option 4: 16 : 10

Team Careers360 10th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 16 : 9


Solution : Given: A vessel contains 60 litres of milk.
Remaining milk = $x\left ( 1-\frac{r}{100} \right )^{n}$, Where $x$ is the total quantity, $r$ is the replacement quantity and $n$ is the number of replacements.
= $60\left ( 1-\frac{12}{60} \right )^{2}$
= $60\times \left

Option 2: 25 cm

Option 3: 45 cm

Option 4: 30 cm

Team Careers360 10th Jan, 2024
