Question : A shopkeeper marked the price 18% more than its cost price. If he allows a discount of 24%, then find his loss percent.
Option 1: 16.43%
Option 2: 15.75%
Option 3: 10.32%
Option 4: 12.25%
Correct Answer: 10.32%
Solution : Let the cost price ($CP$) be 100. Marked price ($MP$) after 18% profit, $MP=\frac{100\times (100+18)}{100}$ = 118 Selling price after 24% discount = $\frac{118\times(100-24)}{100}$ = $\frac{(118\times76)}{(100\times100)}$ = 89.68 Hence, loss percentage = $\frac{(CP-SP)}{CP}\times 100$ = $\frac{100 - 89.68}{100}\times 100$ = 10.32% Hence, the correct answer

Question : Simplify the given equation: $(1+\tan ^2 A)(1+\cot ^2 A)=?$
Option 1: $\frac{1}{\cos ^2 A\left(1+\sin ^2 A\right)}$
Option 2: $\frac{1}{\sin ^2 A\left(1-\sin ^2 A\right)}$
Option 3: $\frac{1}{\sin ^2 A+\operatorname{cosec}^2 A}$
Option 4: $\frac{1}{\sin ^2 A\left(1+\cos ^2 A\right)}$
Correct Answer: $\frac{1}{\sin ^2 A\left(1-\sin ^2 A\right)}$
Solution : $(1+\tan ^2 A)(1+\cot ^2 A)$ = $\sec^2 A × \operatorname{cosec}^2 A$ = $\frac{1}{\cos^2 A} × \frac{1}{\sin^2 A}$ = $\frac{1}{\sin^2 A(1-\sin^2 A)}$ Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{1}{\sin^2 A(1-\sin^2 A)}$.
