Question : What is the value of $\frac{\cot \theta+\operatorname{cosec} \theta-1}{\cot \theta-\operatorname{cosec} \theta+1}$?

Option 1: $2 \sec \theta$

Option 2: $2 \operatorname{cosec} \theta$

Option 3: $2 \cot \theta$

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

Team Careers360 16th Jan, 2024

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


Solution : Given, $\frac{\cot \theta+\operatorname{cosec} \theta-1}{\cot \theta-\operatorname{cosec} \theta+1}$
We know, $\operatorname{cosec^2}θ−\cot^2θ=1$
$=\frac{\cot \theta+\operatorname{cosec} \theta-(\operatorname{cosec^2}θ−\cot^2θ)}{\cot \theta-\operatorname{cosec} \theta+1}$
$=\frac{\cot \theta+\operatorname{cosec} \theta-(\operatorname{cosec}θ−\cotθ)(\operatorname{cosec}θ+\cotθ)}{\cot \theta-\operatorname{cosec} \theta+1}$
$=\frac{(\operatorname{cosec}θ+\cotθ)[1-(\operatorname{cosec}θ-\cotθ)]}{\cot \theta-\operatorname{cosec} \theta+1}$
$=\frac{(\operatorname{cosec}θ+\cotθ)[1-\operatorname{cosec}θ+\cotθ)]}{\cot \theta-\operatorname{cosec} \theta+1}$
$=\operatorname{cosec}θ+\cotθ$
Hence, the correct answer is $\operatorname{cosec}θ+\cotθ$.

Question : Find out the wrong number in the sequence: 40960, 10240, 2560, 640, 200, 40, 10.

Option 1: 2560

Option 2: 200

Option 3: 640

Option 4: 40

Team Careers360 10th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 200


Solution : Given series: 40960, 10240, 2560, 640, 200, 40, 10
The pattern is:
40960 ÷ 4 = 10240
10240 ÷ 4 = 2560
2560 ÷ 4 = 640
640 ÷ 4 = 160 ≠ 200
200 is the wrong number.
The correct number is 160.
