Question : What is the value of $\frac{\sin \theta+\cos \theta}{\sin \theta-\cos \theta}+\frac{\sin \theta-\cos \theta}{\sin \theta+\cos \theta}$?

Option 1: $\frac{1}{\left(\sin ^2 \theta-\cos ^2 \theta\right)}$

Option 2: $2\left(\sin ^2 \theta-\cos ^2 \theta\right)$

Option 3: $\frac{2}{\left(\sin ^2 \theta-\cos ^2 \theta\right)}$

Option 4: $\sin ^2 \theta-\cos ^2 \theta$

Team Careers360 15th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\frac{2}{\left(\sin ^2 \theta-\cos ^2 \theta\right)}$


Solution : $\frac{\sin \theta+\cos \theta}{\sin \theta-\cos \theta}+\frac{\sin \theta-\cos \theta}{\sin \theta+\cos \theta}$
Taking the LCM of the denominators:
= $\frac{(\sin \theta+\cos \theta)^2 + (\sin \theta-\cos \theta)^2}{\sin^2 \theta-\cos^2 \theta}$
= $\frac{(\sin^2 \theta+\cos^2 \theta+2\sin \theta \cos \theta) + (\sin^2 \theta+\cos^2 \theta-2\sin \theta \cos \theta)}{\sin^2 \theta-\cos^2 \theta}$

Question : If $\sin A=\frac{3}{5}$, calculate the value of $\cos A+\tan A-1$.

Option 1: $\frac{21}{20}$

Option 2: $\frac{11}{20}$

Option 3: $\frac{13}{20}$

Option 4: $2$

Team Careers360 7th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\frac{11}{20}$


Solution : $\sin A=\frac{3}{5}$
$⇒\cos A = \sqrt{1-\sin^2A}$
$⇒\cos A = \sqrt{1-(\frac{3}{5})^2}$
$⇒\cos A = \sqrt{\frac{25-9}{25}}$
$⇒\cos A = \sqrt{\frac{16}{25}}$
$⇒\cos A = \frac{4}{5}$
We know, $\tan A = \frac{\sin A}{\cos A}$
$⇒\tan A = \frac{\frac{3}{5}}{\frac{4}{5}}$
$⇒\tan A = \frac{3}{4}$
So, $\cos A+\tan A-1 = \frac{4}{5} +

Question : If a number is increased by 25% and the resulting number is decreased by 25%, then the percentage increase or decrease finally is:

Option 1: no change

Option 2: decreased by $6\tfrac{1}{4}$%

Option 3: increased by $6\tfrac{1}{4}$%

Option 4: increased by $6$%

Team Careers360 21st Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: decreased by $6\tfrac{1}{4}$%


Solution : Given: A number is increased by 25%.
The resulting number is decreased by 25%.
Let the number be 100.
Increased by 25% = (100 + 25) = 125
125 is decreased by 25%, then it becomes = $125×\frac{75}{100}$ = $\frac{375}{4}$
So, the required

Question : What is the value of $\frac{1+\mathrm{x}}{1-\mathrm{x}^2} \div \frac{1+\mathrm{x}}{1-\mathrm{x}^4}-\frac{1-\mathrm{x}^4}{1-\mathrm{x}} \times \frac{1+\mathrm{x}}{1-\mathrm{x}^2}$?

Option 1: $\frac{2 \mathrm{x}\left(1+\mathrm{x}^2\right)}{(1-\mathrm{x})}$

Option 2: $\frac{2 \mathrm{x}\left(1+\mathrm{x}^2\right)}{(\mathrm{x}-1)}$

Option 3: $(1-\mathrm{x})^2$

Option 4: $\left(1+\mathrm{x}^2\right)$

Team Careers360 5th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\frac{2 \mathrm{x}\left(1+\mathrm{x}^2\right)}{(\mathrm{x}-1)}$


Solution : Given expression,
$\frac{1+\mathrm{x}}{1-\mathrm{x}^2} \div \frac{1+\mathrm{x}}{1-\mathrm{x}^4}-\frac{1-\mathrm{x}^4}{1-\mathrm{x}} \times \frac{1+\mathrm{x}}{1-\mathrm{x}^2}$
$=\frac{\frac{1+\mathrm{x}}{1-\mathrm{x}^2}}{\frac{1+\mathrm{x}}{1-\mathrm{x}^4}}-\frac{(1-\mathrm{x}^2)(1+\mathrm{x}^2)\times(1+\mathrm{x})}{(1-\mathrm{x})\times(1-\mathrm{x}^2)}$
$=\frac{(1+\mathrm{x})(1-\mathrm{x}^4)}{(1-\mathrm{x}^2)(1+\mathrm{x})}-\frac{(1+\mathrm{x}^2)(1+\mathrm{x})}{1-\mathrm{x}}$
$=\frac{(1+\mathrm{x})(1-\mathrm{x^2})(1+\mathrm{x^2})}{(1-\mathrm{x^2})(1+\mathrm{x})}-\frac{(1+\mathrm{x}^2)(1+\mathrm{x})}{1-\mathrm{x}}$
$=\small 1+\mathrm{x^2}-\frac{(1+\mathrm{x}^2)(1+\mathrm{x})}{1-\mathrm{x}}$
$=\small (1+\mathrm{x^2})\times\frac{1-\mathrm{x}-1-\mathrm{x}}{1-\mathrm{x}}$
$=\frac{-2\mathrm{x}(1+\mathrm{x^2})}{1-\mathrm{x}}$
$=\frac{2\mathrm{x}(1+\mathrm{x^2})}{\mathrm{x}-1}$
Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{2\mathrm{x}(1+\mathrm{x^2})}{\mathrm{x}-1}$.
