Question : If $\cos A=\frac{1}{11}$, then find the value of cot A.

Option 1: $\frac{2 \sqrt{30}}{11}$

Option 2: $2 \sqrt{30}$

Option 3: $\frac{1}{2 \sqrt{30}}$

Option 4: $\frac{11}{2 \sqrt{30}}$

Team Careers360 18th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\frac{1}{2 \sqrt{30}}$


Solution : Given,
$\cos A=\frac{1}{11}$
We know, $\sin^2\theta+\cos^2\theta=1$
⇒ $\sin^2A+\cos^2A=1$
⇒ $\sin^2A+\frac{1}{11^2}=1$
⇒ $\sin^2A=1-\frac{1}{121}$
⇒ $\sin^2A=\frac{121-1}{121}$
⇒ $\sin^2 A=\frac{120}{121}$
⇒ $\sin A=\sqrt{\frac{120}{121}}$
⇒ $\sin A=\frac{2\sqrt{30}}{11}$
⇒ $\cot A = \frac{\cos A}{\sin A}$
⇒ $\cot A = \frac{\frac{1}{11}}{\frac{2\sqrt{30}}{11}}$
⇒ $\cot A=\frac{1}{2\sqrt{30}}$
Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{1}{2\sqrt{30}}$.

Question : What will be the net discount (in percentage) after the two successive discounts of 40% and 20%?

Option 1: 60%

Option 2: 68%

Option 3: 52%

Option 4: 42%

Team Careers360 15th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 52%


Solution : Given: First discount = 40% and second discount = 20%
Net discount = $(x+y-\frac{xy}{100})$%, where $x$ and $y$ are two successive discounts.
= $40+20-\frac{\text{40×20}}{100}$
= $60-\frac{\text{800}}{100}$
= $60-8$
= $52$
So, the net discount = 52%
Hence, the correct answer is 52%.
