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: $\sin ^2 \theta-\cos ^2 \theta$
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 : Ozone layer above the surface of the Earth provides a shield against
Option 1: X- Rays
Option 2: Ultra-violet rays
Option 3: Gamma rays
Option 4: Infra-red Rays
Correct Answer: Ultra-violet rays
Solution : The correct option is - Ultra-violet rays
The ozone layer above the surface of the Earth provides a shield against harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun. It specifically filters out the majority of the sun's harmful ultraviolet rays. This protection is crucial for
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: $2$
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 : Directions: A word is represented by only one set of numbers as given in any one of the alternatives. The sets of numbers given in the alternatives are represented by two classes of alphabets as in the two matrices, given below. The columns and rows of Matrix (I) are numbered from 0 to 4 and those of Matrix (II) are numbered from 0, 5 to 8. A letter from these matrices can be represented first by its row and next by its column, e.g. D can be represented by 03, 10, etc., and J can be represented by 56, 65, etc. Similarly, you have to identify the set for the word.

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 $6$%
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: $\left(1+\mathrm{x}^2\right)$
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 $\frac{2\mathrm{x}(1+\mathrm{x^2})}{\mathrm{x}-1}$.
