SSC CPO 2019 PYQ — Question 133

SSC CPO Tier I - 12th December 2019 - Shift 1 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q133

If cosec Θ = 1.25 then, (4tanΘ - 5cosΘ + 1) ÷ (secΘ + 4cotΘ - 1) = ? 

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. 10/11

Application

Given that cosecΘ = 1.25 = 5/5

So sin Θ = 4/5

Then cosΘ = 3/5 and tanΘ = 4/3 , cotΘ = 3/4

Hence (4tanΘ - 5cosΘ + 1) ÷ (secΘ + 4cotΘ - 1) = 

(4 × 4/3 - 5 × 3/5 + 1) ÷ (5/3 + 4 × 3/4 - 1)

(16 -6)/(5 + 6) = 10/11
