Q:

Consider the following for real numbers α, β, γ and δ ?

1) sec α = 1/4

2) tan β = 20

3) cosec γ = 1/2

4) cos δ = 2

How many of the above statements are not possible?

A) one	B) two
C) three	D) four

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) three

Explanation:

Sec of any number can never be less than 1

tan can take any value from -∞ to + ∞

cosec of any number can never be less than 1

cos of any number can never be greater than 1

so option 1,3,4 are not possible

Q:

If 3 tan θ = cot θ where $0 < θ < π / 2$ , then what is the value of θ ?

A) π/6	B) π/4
C) π/2	D) 1

Answer & Explanation Answer: A) π/6

Explanation:

3tan θ = cot θ

3tan θ = 1/tan θ

tan2θ = 1/3

tan θ = 1/√3

θ = π/6

Q:

There are two parallel streets each directed north to south. A person in the first street travelling from south to north wishes to take the second street which is on his right side. At some place, he makes a 150 deg turn to the right and he travels for 15 minutes at the speed of 20 km/hr. After that he takes a left turn of 60 deg and travels for 20 minutes at the speed of 30 km/hr in order to meet the second street. What is the distance between the two streets?

A) 7.5 km	B) 10.5 km
C) 12.5 km	D) 15 km

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 12.5 km

Explanation:

Initially the person is travelling from south to north i.e. D to A

He takes 150 deg right turn and moves AB distance and then he takes 60 deg left turn travels BC

AB = 20km/hr * 15/60 hr = 5km

BC = 30 * 20/60 = 10 km

We know that distance between both the streets is DC = DB + BC

DB = AB cos 60o= 5. ½ =2.5 km

So the distance between streets = 12.5 km
