Question : Other things being equal, a decrease in the quantity demanded of a commodity can be caused by:
Option 1: a rise in the price of the commodity.
Option 2: a rise in the income of the consumer.
Option 3: a fall in the price of a commodity.
Option 4: a fall in the income of the consumer.

Question : If $\sqrt{3} \tan ^2 \theta-4 \tan \theta+\sqrt{3}=0$, then what is the value of $\tan ^2 \theta+\cot ^2 \theta$?
Option 1: $\frac{4}{3}$
Option 2: $\frac{10}{3}$
Option 3: $3$
Option 4: $\frac{6}{5}$
Correct Answer: $\frac{10}{3}$
Solution : $\sqrt{3} \tan ^2 \theta-4 \tan \theta+\sqrt{3}=0$ Multiplying by $\sqrt{3}$ on both sides, we get, $3\tan^2\theta−4\sqrt{3}\tan \theta+3=0$ ⇒ $3\tan^2\theta−3\sqrt{3}\tan\theta−\sqrt{3}\tan\theta+3=0$ ⇒ $3\tan\theta(\tan\theta−\sqrt{3})−\sqrt{3}(\tan\theta−\sqrt{3})=0$ ⇒ $(3\tan\theta−\sqrt{3})(\tan\theta−\sqrt{3})=0$ ⇒ $\tan\theta=\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$ or, $\tan\theta=\sqrt{3}$ ⇒ $\theta=30°$ or, $\theta=60°$ So, $\tan ^2 \theta+\cot ^2 \theta$ $=\tan^2 30° + \cot^2 30°$ $=\frac{1}{3}+3$ $=\frac{10}{3}$ Hence, the
Question : Directions: Two positions of a dice are given below. What will come on the face opposite to the face containing R on it?
Option 1: Q
Option 2: P
Option 3: A
Option 4: H
Correct Answer: P
Solution : Let the sixth face of the dice be B. Taking dice positions 1 and 2 with A as the common face –
Moving clockwise from the common face with A –
So, the opposite faces of the dice are –
So, the face opposite to

Option 3: (3)
Option 4: (4)
Correct Answer: (3)
Solution : The third option is the correct answer.

Question : $\triangle \mathrm{EFG}$ is a right angled triangle. $\angle \mathrm{F}=90°$, $\mathrm{EF}=10 \mathrm{~cm}$ and $\mathrm{FG}=15 \mathrm{~cm}$. What is the value of cosec $\mathrm{G}$?
Option 1: $\frac{\sqrt{13}}{2}$
Option 2: $\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}$
Option 3: $\frac{\sqrt{13}}{10}$
Option 4: $\frac{10}{\sqrt{3}}$
Correct Answer: $\frac{\sqrt{13}}{2}$
Solution : $\angle$F = 90°, EF = 10 cm, FG = 15 cm By Pythagoras theorem, Hypotenuse2 = Base2 + Perpendicular2 EG2 = EF2 + FG2 ⇒ EG2 = 102 + 152 ⇒ EG2 = 100 +
