Question : If $\tan A=\frac{2}{5}$, then find the value of $\frac{\sec ^2 A}{\operatorname{cosec}^2 A}$.

Option 1: $\frac{2}{5}$

Option 2: $\frac{4}{25}$

Option 3: $\frac{9}{25}$

Option 4: $\frac{3}{5}$

Team Careers360 20th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\frac{4}{25}$


Solution : Given: $\tan A=\frac{2}{5}$
⇒ $\cot A=\frac{5}{2}$
Now, $\sec^2 A = 1+ \tan^2 A$
⇒ $\sec^2 A = 1+ (\frac{2}{5})^2$
⇒ $\sec^2 A = 1+ (\frac{4}{25})$
⇒ $\sec^2 A = (\frac{29}{25})$
Also, $\operatorname{cosec}^2 A = 1+ \cot^2 A$
⇒ $\operatorname{cosec}^2 A = 1+ (\frac{5}{2})^2$
⇒ $\operatorname{cosec}^2

Question : In a triangle, ABC, BC is produced to D so that CD = AC. If $\angle BAD=111^{\circ}$ and $\angle ACB=80^{\circ}$, then the measure of $\angle ABC$ is:

Option 1: 31°

Option 2: 33°

Option 3: 35°

Option 4: 29°

Team Careers360 11th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 29°


Solution :
Given: AC = CD, $\angle$BAD = 111°, and $\angle$ACB = 80°
So, $\angle$ACD = 180° – 80° = 100°
In isosceles $\triangle$ACD,
$\angle$ACD + $\angle$CAD + $\angle$ADC = 180°
⇒ 2$\angle$CAD = 180° – 100°
⇒ $\angle$CAD = 40°
⇒ $\angle$CAB = 111° – 40°
