Question : The value of $\frac{\sin ^2 30^{\circ}+\cos ^2 60^{\circ}-\sec 35^{\circ} \cdot \sin 55^{\circ}}{\sec 60^{\circ}+\operatorname{cosec} 30^{\circ}}$ is equal to:

Option 1: $\frac{1}{8}$

Option 2: $-\frac{1}{4}$

Option 3: $\frac{1}{4}$

Option 4: $-\frac{1}{8}$

Team Careers360 19th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $-\frac{1}{8}$


Solution : Given: $\frac{\sin ^2 30^{\circ}+\cos ^2 60^{\circ}-\sec 35^{\circ} \cdot \sin 55^{\circ}}{\sec 60^{\circ}+\operatorname{cosec} 30^{\circ}}$
= $\frac{(\frac{1}{2})^2+(\frac{1}{2})^2 - \sec 35^{\circ} \cdot \sin (90-35)^{\circ}}{2+2}$
= $\frac{(\frac{1}{4})+(\frac{1}{4}) - \sec 35^{\circ} \cdot \cos 35^{\circ}}{2+2}$
= $\frac{(\frac{2}{4}) - (\frac{1}{ \cos 35^{\circ}}) \cdot \cos 35^{\circ}}{4}$
= $\frac{(\frac{2}{4}) - 1}{4}$
= $-\frac{1}{8}$
Hence, the

Question : Directions: If 1 / 4 / 3 = 254 and 3 / 6 / 8 = 479, then 5 / 2 / 7 = ?

Option 1: 416

Option 2: 461

Option 3: 368

Option 4: 638

Team Careers360 17th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 638


Solution : Given:
1 / 4 / 3 = 254; 3 / 6 / 8 = 479

1 / 4 / 3→1 + 1 = 2; 4 + 1 = 5; 3 + 1 = 4→254
3 / 6 / 8→3 + 1 = 4; 6 +

Question : If the hypotenuse of an isosceles right-angled triangle is 10 cm, then the other two sides (in cm) are __________.

Option 1: $10\sqrt{2}$ and $10\sqrt{2}$

Option 2: $8\sqrt{2}$ and $8\sqrt{2}$

Option 3: $6\sqrt{2}$ and $6\sqrt{2}$

Option 4: $5\sqrt{2}$ and $5\sqrt{2}$

Team Careers360 23rd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $5\sqrt{2}$ and $5\sqrt{2}$


Solution : Given: Hypotenuse of the isosceles right-angled triangle = 10 cm
Let the other two equal sides be $x$ cm.
Now applying the Pythagoras theorem, we get,
$x^2+x^2=10^2$
⇒ $2x^2=100$
$\therefore x=\sqrt{50}=5\sqrt{2}$
Hence, the correct answer is $5\sqrt{2}$ and $5\sqrt{2}$.

Question : Pipes A and B can fill a tank in 16 hours and 24 hours, respectively, whereas pipe C can empty the full tank in 40 hours. All three pipes are opened together, but pipe A is closed after 10 hours. After how many hours will the remaining part of the tank be filled?

Option 1: $12 \frac{1}{2}$

Option 2: $10$

Option 3: $20$

Option 4: $15\frac{1}{2}$

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $12 \frac{1}{2}$


Solution : Pipe A can fill in 1 hour = $\frac{1}{16}$
Pipe B can fill in 1 hour = $\frac{1}{24}$
Pipe C can empty in 1 hour = $\frac{1}{40}$
Together they can fill in 1 hour $=\frac{1}{16} + \frac{1}{24} – \frac{1}{40}=\frac{19}{240}$
Together they can fill in
