Question : Solve the following equation. $\sec ^2 \theta\left(\sqrt{1-\sin ^2 \theta}\right)= $ __________.
Option 1: $\tan \theta$
Option 2: $\operatorname{cosec \theta}$
Option 3: $\sec \theta$
Option 4: $1$
Correct Answer: $\sec \theta$
Solution : The given equation is: We know that $\cos^2 \theta = 1-\sin^2 \theta $. $\sec ^2 \theta\left(\sqrt{1-\sin ^2 \theta}\right)$ $=\sec ^2 \theta\left(\sqrt{\cos^2 \theta}\right)$ $=\sec ^2 \theta\cos \theta$ $=\sec \theta $ Hence, the correct answer is $\sec \theta $.
Question : In the following table year year-wise ratio of the number of taxable and non-taxable products produced by a company has been shown. The total production of the company increases by 10% every year.

Question : Two bodies kept at a certain distance feel a great gravitational force F to each other. If the distance between them is double the former distance, the force will be:
Option 1: 2F
Option 2: 1/2 F
Option 3: 4F
Option 4: 1/4 F
Correct Answer: 1/4 F
Solution : The correct option is 1/4 F.
When two bodies are twice as far apart, the gravitational force that attracts them is reduced to one-fourth of its initial amount. This is because the gravitational pull between two bodies is inversely proportional to their squared
Question : The LCM of 165, 176, 385 and 495 is k. When k is divided by the HCF of the numbers, the quotient is p. What is the value of p?
Option 1: 2520
Option 2: 5040
Option 3: 6720
Option 4: 3360
Correct Answer: 5040
Solution : LCM of 165, 176, 385 and 495 = 55440 Thus, k = 55440 HCF of 165, 176, 385 and 495 = 11 $\therefore$ p = $\frac{55440}{11}$ = 5040 Hence, the correct answer is 5040.
