Question : If $\theta$ is an acute angle and $\cos\theta=\frac{11}{17}$, what is the value of $\tan\theta$?
Option 1: $\frac{4 \sqrt{10}}{11}$
Option 2: $\frac{13}{11}$
Option 3: $\frac{2 \sqrt{42}}{11}$
Option 4: $\frac{2 \sqrt{42}}{17}$
Correct Answer: $\frac{2 \sqrt{42}}{11}$
Solution : Given: $\cos\theta=\frac{11}{17}$ Let the Base = 11 units and the Hypotenuse = 17 units We know, $\text{Perpendicular} = \sqrt{(\text{Hypotenuse})^2–(\text{Base})^2}$ So, $\text{Perpendicular} = \sqrt{17^2–11^2}=\sqrt{289–121}=\sqrt{168}=2\sqrt{42}$ units Therefore, $\tan\theta=\frac{\text{Perpendicular}}{\text{Base}}=\frac{2\sqrt{42}}{11}$ Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{2\sqrt{42}}{11}$.

Question : The ratio of two positive numbers is 3 : 4. The sum of their squares is 400. What is the sum of the numbers?
Option 1: 28
Option 2: 22
Option 3: 24
Option 4: 26
Correct Answer: 28
Solution : Let the numbers be $3x$ and $4x$. Squares of the numbers are $9x^2$ and $16x^2$. According to the question, $9x^2 + 16x^2 = 400$ ⇒ $25x^2= 400$ ⇒ $x^2 = 16$ $\therefore x = 4$ The numbers are $(3 × 4) = 12$ and $(4
