Question : If $\cos ^4 \alpha-\sin ^4 \alpha=\frac{5}{6}$, then the value of $2 \cos ^2 \alpha-1$ is:

Option 1: $\frac{11}{6}$

Option 2: $\frac{5}{6}$

Option 3: $\frac{6}{11}$

Option 4: $\frac{6}{5}$

Team Careers360 19th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\frac{5}{6}$


Solution : Given: $\cos ^4 \alpha-\sin ^4 \alpha=\frac{5}{6}$
⇒ $(\cos ^2 \alpha)^2-(\sin ^2 \alpha)^2=\frac{5}{6}$
⇒ $(\cos ^2 \alpha-\sin ^2 \alpha)(\cos ^2 \alpha+\sin ^2 \alpha)=\frac{5}{6}$
⇒ $(\cos ^2 \alpha-\sin ^2 \alpha)=\frac{5}{6}$ [As $\cos ^2 \alpha+\sin ^2 \alpha=1$]
⇒ $\cos^2\alpha - 1+\cos^2\alpha=\frac{5}{6}$ [As $\sin^2\alpha=1-\cos^2\alpha$]
$\therefore2\cos ^2 \alpha-1=\frac{5}{6}$
Hence, the

Question : If $(\frac{x}{y})^{5a-3}=(\frac{y}{x})^{17-3a}$, then what is the value of $a$?

Option 1: –7

Option 2: –5

Option 3: 0

Option 4: 3

Team Careers360 8th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: –7


Solution : Given: $(\frac{x}{y})^{5a-3}=(\frac{y}{x})^{17-3a}$
Making the same base for comparison,
⇒ $(\frac{x}{y})^{5a–3}=(\frac{x}{y})^{-(17-3a)}$
⇒ $5a-3=-(17-3a)$
⇒ $2a=-14$
$\therefore a=-7$
Hence, the correct answer is –7.
