Question : If $\operatorname{cosec} A+\cot A=a \sqrt{b}$, then find the value of $\frac{\left(a^2 b-1\right)}{\left(a^2 b+1\right)}$.

Option 1: $\cos A$

Option 2: $\tan A$

Option 3: $\frac{1}{\sin A}$

Option 4: $\frac{1}{\cot A}$

Team Careers360 24th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\cos A$


Solution : Consider, $\operatorname{cosec} A+\cot A=a \sqrt{b}$
Squaring both sides, we get,
⇒ $(\operatorname{cosec} A+\cot A)^2=a^2b$
⇒ $\operatorname{cosec^2 }A+\cot^2A+2\operatorname{cosec} A\cot A = a^2b$
⇒ $a^2b=\frac{1}{\sin^2 A}+\frac{\cos^2A}{\sin^2 A}+2\frac{1}{\sin A}\frac{\cos A}{\sin A}$
⇒ $a^2b=\frac{1+\cos^2A+2\cos A}{\sin^2 A}$
⇒ $a^2b=\frac{(1+\cos A)^2}{\sin^2A}$
⇒ $a^2b=\frac{(1+\cos A)^2}{1-\cos^2A}$ [As $\cos^2A+\sin^2A=1$]
⇒ $a^2b=\frac{(1+\cos A)^2}{(1-\cos A)(1+\cos

Question : Simplify the following.
$\frac{3 a+b}{2}-\frac{a-3 b}{3}+2b$

Option 1: $\frac{5(a+3b)}{6}$

Option 2: $\frac{7a+3b}{6}$

Option 3: $\frac{7(a+3b)}{6}$

Option 4: $\frac{a+3b}{6}$

Team Careers360 23rd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\frac{7(a+3b)}{6}$


Solution : Given: $\frac{3a+b}{2}-\frac{a-3b}{3}+2b$
= $\frac{9a+3b-(2a-6b)}{6}+2b$
= $\frac{7a+9b}{6}+2b$
= $\frac{7a+9b + 12b}{6}$
= $\frac{7a+21b }{6}$
= $\frac{7(a+3b) }{6}$
Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{7(a+3b) }{6}$.

Option 1: $35\%$

Option 2: $46 \frac{2}{3}\%$

Option 3: $45 \frac{1}{3}\%$

Option 4: $40\%$

Team Careers360 11th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $46 \frac{2}{3}\%$


Solution : According to the question,
Correctly answered in first 80 questions = 0.7 × 80 = 56
Remaining questions = 140 − 80 = 60
Target correct answers = 0.6 × 140 = 84
