If acosθ+bsinθ=m and bcosθ−asinθ=n, then what will be the value of a2+b2?
Given, a cosθ+b sinθ=m ...(i) : and a cosθ−b sinθ=n (ii) On squaring and adding
Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get (a cosθ+b sinθ)2+(b cosθ−a sinθ)2 = m2 + n2 i.e., a2cos2θ + b2sin2θ + 2ab sinθ⋅cosθ + b2cos2θ + a2sin2θ −2 ab sinθ⋅cosθ =m2+n2 (a2+b2) cos2θ+(a2+b2) sin2θ = m2+n2 ⇒ (a2+b2) (cos2θ+sin2θ) = m2 + n2i.e., a2 + b2 = m2 + n2
If the sum and the product of 1st 3 terms of an AP series is 42 and 2240 respectively, what are the terms of the series?
(a−d)+a+(a+d)=42⇒a=14 ⇒
(a−d)×a×(a+d)=(14−d)×14×(14+d)=2240 ⇒ (142−d2)=160 ⇒
d2=196−160=36 ∴ d=±6
If one root of the equation x2+6mx+64=0 is the square of the other, the value of m is
Let α and α2 be the roots of the equation. x2+6mx+64 = 0 then, product of roots
= c/a = α × α2 = α3= 64 ⇒ α=4 So, the roots are 4 and 16. Sum of the roots
4 friends went to fair. They found only two tickets available at the counter. For the 2 more tickets they had to pay Rs.50 more each ticket, then the actual cost. If at the end they found the per head cost to be Rs.60, what was the actual price of the ticket?
Actually cost per ticket = Rs. x Increased cost = (x+50) i.e., (x+x)+2(x+50) = Total amount paid i.e.
=Rs60 i.e., x+25=60 ∴ x=35= Actual cost of ticket

⇒ x(0.331−0.3) = 46.5 ⇒ x=
A and B can do a work in 72 days. B and C in 120 days, A and C in 90 days. In how many days can A alone do the work?
Work done by (A+B) in 1 day =1/72 Work done by (B+C) in 1 day =1/120 Work done by (C+A)
in 1 day =1/90 Work done by (A+B+C) n 1 day =
= 1/60 Work done by A in 1 day =
So, A alone will do in 120 days.
The ratio of the volume of a cube to that of a sphere, which will fit inside the sphere is
We know that, Diagonal of cube = Diameter of sphere i.e., We know that Diagonal of cube = Diameter of sphere i.e., a √3 = 2r ⇒ a = 2/√3⋅r
∴ Required volume ratio =Volumeofcube/Volumeofsphere =
Two trains of equal length are running on parallel lines in the same direction at the rate of 46 km/h and 36 km/h. The faster train passes the slower train in 36 s. The length of each train is
Speed of faster train relative to slower one = (46−36)km/h = 
Distance covered in 36s = 
= 100m ∴ 2 (length of each train) = 100 m ∴ length of each train = 50 m

The average of two numbers increases by 20 when one of the numbers is doubled and increases by 25 when the other number is doubled. What must be the original average?
Let the tow numbers be x and y. and its average = 1/2 (x+y) No, by condition, 1/2 {2x+25) + 2y} = 1/2 (x+y) + 20 ⇒ 2x+2y+25 = x+y+60 ⇒ x+y =15 ⇒ 1/2 (x+y) = 7.5 ∴ Required average = 7.5
A candidate who gets 20% marks in an examination fails by 30 marks but another candidate who gets 32%, gets 42 marks more than the pass marks. Then, the percentage of pass marks is

= 25%
If the commission of 10% is given on marked price, the gain is 60%. If the commission of 20% is given, the gain would be
Let marked price = x Price after commission =90/100⋅x Profit = 60% 
When commission = 20% SP = 
Profit percentage 
The incomes of A, B and C are in the ratio 7 : 9 : 12 and their spendings are in the ratio 8 : 9 : 15. If A saves 1/4 of his income, then the savings of A, B and C are in the ratio
By given condition, if 7 x be the income of A, then 1/4 × 7x is the savings. ⇒ 7x − 8y = 7/4⋅x ⇒ 
∴ Savings of B = 9x − 9y = 9 (x−y) = 
and saving of C = 12x − 15y = 
∴ Required ratio = 
= 56:99:69
If a, b, c,..., x, y, z are 26 natural numbers, then the value of (x−a) (x−b) (x−c)... (x−y) (x−z) is
If a,b,c,...,x,y,z are 26 natural number then (x−a) (x−b) ... (x−x) (x−y) (y−z) = (x−a) x−b)...0 (x−y) (x−z) = 0
If 721 and n are integers and 
which of the following cannot be a value of m+n?
= 10 So, mn=100 ∴ (m, n) can be (1, 100), (2, 50), (4, 25), (10, 10). So, (m + n) can be 101, 52, 29, 25 and 20. Hence, 50 cannot be the value of (m + n).
