Question : An article was sold at a certain price. Had it been sold at $\frac{4}{5}$ of that price, there would have been a loss of 10%. At what profit percentage was the article sold initially?
Option 1: 10.5
Option 2: 15
Option 3: 12.5
Option 4: 10
Correct Answer: 12.5
Solution : Let the initial selling price = 100 New selling price = $\frac{4}{5} × 100$ = 80 So, according to the question, cost price = $\frac{100}{90}$ × 80 = $\frac{800}{9}$ Profit percentage = $\frac{\text{selling price - cost price}}{\text{cost price}}$ × 100 = $\frac{100 - \frac{800}{9}}{\frac{800}{9}}$ ×
Question : Which of the following is the value of $\sqrt{\frac{1-\sin 45^{\circ}}{1+\sin 45^{\circ}}}$?
Option 1: $\cos 45^{\circ} - \tan 45^{\circ}$
Option 2: $\tan 45^{\circ} - \sec 45^{\circ}$
Option 3: $\tan 45^{\circ}$
Option 4: $\sec 45^{\circ} - \tan 45^{\circ}$
Correct Answer: $\sec 45^{\circ} - \tan 45^{\circ}$
Solution : $\sqrt{\frac{1-\sin 45^{\circ}}{1+\sin 45^{\circ}}}$ = $\sqrt{\frac{(1-\sin 45^{\circ})^2}{(1+\sin 45^{\circ})(1-\sin 45^{\circ})}}$ = $\sqrt{\frac{(1-\sin 45^{\circ})^2}{(1-\sin^2 45^{\circ})}}$ = $\sqrt{\frac{(1-\sin 45^{\circ})^2}{\cos^2 45^{\circ}}}$ = $\frac{1-\sin 45^{\circ}}{\cos 45^{\circ}}$ = $\sec 45^{\circ} - \tan 45^{\circ}$ Hence, the correct answer is $\sec 45^{\circ} - \tan 45^{\circ}$.
