Question : $\cos 2 \theta=$________.
Option 1: $1-2 \cos^2 \theta$
Option 2: $2 \cos^2 \theta-1$
Option 3: $2 \sin^2 \theta-1$
Option 4: $1-\sin^2 \theta$
Correct Answer: $2 \cos^2 \theta-1$
Solution : $\cos2\theta = \cos^2\theta-\sin^2\theta$ $= \cos^2\theta-(1-\cos^2\theta)$ $= 2\cos^2\theta-1$ Hence, the correct answer is $2\cos^2\theta-1$.

Question : The diameter of a circle is 20 cm. The length of a chord AB is 10 cm. What will be the angle made by this chord at the centre of this circle?
Option 1: 75°
Option 2: 45°
Option 3: 60°
Option 4: 90°
Correct Answer: 60°
Solution : Radius = $\frac{\text{Diameter}}{2}$ In an equilateral triangle, since the three sides are equal the three angles opposite to the equal sides, are equal in measure. OA = OB = AB = 10 cm ⇒ $\triangle$OAB is an equilateral triangle. So, $\angle$OAB = $\angle$OBA = $\angle$AOB

Question : If $\left(\mathrm{k}+\frac{1}{\mathrm{k}}\right)^2=9$, then what is the value of $\mathrm{k}^3+\frac{1}{\mathrm{k}^3} ?$
Option 1: 27
Option 2: 18
Option 3: 15
Option 4: 21
Correct Answer: 18
Solution : $\left(\mathrm{k}+\frac{1}{\mathrm{k}}\right)^2=9$ $⇒\left(\mathrm{k}+\frac{1}{\mathrm{k}}\right) = 3$ $⇒\left(\mathrm{k}+\frac{1}{\mathrm{k}}\right)^3 = 3^3$ $⇒\mathrm{k}^3+ \frac{1}{\mathrm{k}^3}+3×\mathrm{k}×\frac{1}{\mathrm{k}}(\mathrm{k}+\frac{1}{\mathrm{k}})=27$ $⇒ \mathrm{k}^3 + \frac{1}{\mathrm{k}^3}=27- 3(\mathrm{k} + \frac{1}{\mathrm{k}} )$ $⇒\mathrm{k}^3 + \frac{1}{\mathrm{k}^3} = 27 - 3\times3$ $⇒\mathrm{k}^3 + \frac{1}{\mathrm{k}^3}=18$ Hence, the correct answer is 18.
