Question : The value of $23\operatorname{cosec}^2 A-23\cot^2A$ is:
Option 1: 23
Option 2: 1
Option 3: 27
Option 4: 0
Correct Answer: 23
Solution : $23\operatorname{cosec}^2 A-23\cot^2A$ = $23(\operatorname{cosec}^2 A-\cot^2A)$ = $23$ [As $\operatorname{cosec}^2 A-\cot^2A=1$] Hence, the correct answer is 23.

Question : A pole stands vertically on a road, which goes in the north-south direction. P and Q are two points towards the north of the pole, such that $P Q=b$, and the angles of elevation of the top of the pole at $P, Q$ are $\alpha, \beta$ respectively. Then the height of the pole is:
Option 1: $\frac{b}{\tan \beta+\tan \alpha}$
Option 2: $\frac{b}{\tan \beta-\tan \alpha}$
Option 3: $\frac{b}{\cot \beta-\cot \alpha}$
Option 4: $\frac{\mathrm{b} \tan \alpha}{\tan \beta}$
Correct Answer: $\frac{b}{\cot \beta-\cot \alpha}$
Solution : Let the height of the pole be $h$ cm. $PQ = b$ In $\triangle ABQ$ ⇒ $\tan \beta = \frac{AB}{BQ}$ ⇒ $\tan \beta = \frac{h}{BQ}$ ⇒ $BQ = \frac{h}{\tan \beta}$ ⇒ $BQ = h \cot \beta$ In $\triangle ABP$ ⇒ $\tan \alpha =
Question : From an aeroplane just over a straight road, the angles of depression of two consecutive kilometre stones situated at opposite sides of the aeroplane were found to be 60° and 30°, respectively. The height (in km) of the aeroplane from the road at that instant, is:
Option 1: $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$
Option 2: $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{3}$
Option 3: $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}$
Option 4: $\sqrt{3}$
Correct Answer: $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}$
Solution : Let the aeroplane be at point A at a height $h$ above ground level. Let B and C be two consecutive kilometre stones with angles of depression $60°$ and $30°$, respectively. Now, $\tan 60°=\frac{h}{BD}$ and $\tan 30°=\frac{h}{CD}$ ⇒ $BD=h\cot 60°$ and $CD=h\cot 30°$ $\because BD+CD=1$

Option 1: 1
Option 2: 2
Option 3: 3
Option 4: 4
Correct Answer: 1
Solution : The error lies in the first part of the sentence.
The phrase "were living" should be replaced with "lived" to convey the intended meaning. The sentence discusses a past action, and the past continuous tense "were living" suggests ongoing or continuous action in the past
Question : The value of $\tan ^2 48^{\circ}-\operatorname{cosec}^2 42^{\circ}+\operatorname{cosec}\left(67^{\circ}+\theta\right)-\sec \left(23^{\circ}-\theta\right)$ is:
Option 1: $-1$
Option 2: $0$
Option 3: $1$
Option 4: $-2$
Correct Answer: $-1$
Solution : Given: $\tan ^2 48^{\circ}-\operatorname{cosec}^2 42^{\circ}+\operatorname{cosec}\left(67^{\circ}+\theta\right)-\sec \left(23^{\circ}-\theta\right)$ = $\tan ^2 48^{\circ}-\sec^2 (90^{\circ}-42^{\circ})+\sec(90^{\circ}-(67^{\circ}+\theta))-\sec \left(23^{\circ}-\theta\right)$ = $\tan ^2 48^{\circ}-\sec^2 48^{\circ}+\sec(23^{\circ}-\theta)-\sec \left(23^{\circ}-\theta\right)$ = $-1$ Hence, the correct answer is $-1$.
