Question : The hypotenuse of a right-angled triangle is 39 cm and the difference of the other two sides is 21 cm. Then, the area of the triangle is:
Option 1: 270 cm2
Option 2: 450 cm2
Option 3: 540 cm2
Option 4: 180 cm2
Correct Answer: 270 cm2
Solution : Let the two sides of the right-angled triangle as $a$ and $b$, where $a > b$. Given that the hypotenuse is 39 cm and the difference of the other two sides is 21 cm. $⇒a^2 + b^2 = 39^2$ $⇒a^2 + b^2 =

Question : The product of the digits of a 2-digit number is 24. If we add 45 to the number, the new number obtained is a number formed by interchanging the digits. What is the original number?
Option 1: 54
Option 2: 83
Option 3: 38
Option 4: 45
Correct Answer: 38
Solution : Let the unit digit of the number be y and the tens digit be $x$. Number = $10x + y$ Product of digits = $x × y = 24$ ------(i) According to the question, $10x + y + 45 = 10y + x$ $9y -

Question : If $\operatorname{cosec} \theta+\cot \theta=\mathbf{s}$, then what is the value of $\cos \theta$?
Option 1: $\frac{s^2-1}{s^2+1}$
Option 2: $\frac{s^2+1}{s^2-1}$
Option 3: $\frac{s^2-1}{2 s}$
Option 4: $\frac{2 s}{s^2+1}$
Correct Answer: $\frac{s^2-1}{s^2+1}$
Solution : Given, $\operatorname{cosec} \theta+\cot \theta=\mathbf{s}$ We know, $\cot\theta = \frac{\cos\theta}{\sin\theta}$ and $\operatorname{cosec} \theta=\frac{1}{\sin\theta}$ ⇒ $\frac{1}{\sin\theta}+\frac{\cos\theta}{\sin\theta}=s$ ⇒ $\frac{1+\cos\theta}{\sin\theta}=s$ Squaring both sides, we get ⇒ $\frac{(1+\cos\theta)^2}{\sin^2\theta}=s^2$ We know, $\cos^2\theta+\sin^2\theta=1$ ⇒ $\frac{1+\cos^2\theta+2\cos\theta}{1-\cos^2\theta}=s^2$ Applying componendo and dividendo, ⇒ $\frac{1+\cos^2\theta+2\cos\theta+1-\cos^2\theta}{1+\cos^2\theta+2\cos\theta-(1-\cos^2\theta)}=\frac{s^2+1}{s^2-1}$ ⇒ $\frac{1+\cos^2\theta+2\cos\theta+1-\cos^2\theta}{1+\cos^2\theta+2\cos\theta-1+\cos^2\theta}=\frac{s^2+1}{s^2-1}$ ⇒ $\frac{2+2\cos\theta}{2\cos^2\theta+2\cos\theta}=\frac{s^2+1}{s^2-1}$ ⇒ $\frac{2(1+\cos\theta)}{2\cos\theta(\cos\theta+1)}=\frac{s^2+1}{s^2-1}$ ⇒ $\frac{1}{\cos\theta}=\frac{s^2+1}{s^2-1}$ ⇒ $\cos\theta=\frac{s^2-1}{s^2+1}$ Hence,
Question : The following table gives the sales of shirts manufactured by companies C1, C2, C3, and C4 over five weeks. Study the table and answer the question that follows.
Which company sold the most shirts in these five weeks?
Option 1: C1
Option 2: C4
Option 3: C2
Option 4: C3
