If x + y = 90 simplify \((sinx + siny)^2\)−2sinxsiny
1
0
2
-1
Correct answer is A
Given: \(x + y = 90° ... (1)\)
\((\sin x + \sin y)^{2} - 2\sin x \sin y = \sin^{2} x + \sin^{2} y + 2\sin x \sin y - 2\sin x \sin y\)
= \(\sin^{2} x + \sin^{2} y ... (2)\)
Recall: \(\sin x = \cos (90 - x) ... (a)\)
From (1), \(y = 90 - x ... (b)\)
Putting (a) and (b) in (2), we have
\(\sin^{2} x + \sin^{2} y \equiv \cos^{2} (90 - x) + \sin^{2} (90 - x)\)

Find the total surface area of a cylinder of base radius 5cm and length 7cm ( π = 3.14)
17.8cm2
15.8cm2
75.4cm2
54.7cm2
\(377.0cm^{2}\)
Correct answer is E
The total surface area of a cylinder = 2πrl + 2πr2
= 2πr(l + r)
= 2 × 3.14 x 5(7+5)
2 × 3.14 × 12 x 5
= 377.1cm (1DP)
Simplify log101.5 + 3 log102 − log100.3
log104
log1040
log10-40
log104-
Correct answer is B
log101.5 + 3 log102 − log100.3
log101.5 + log1023 − log100.3
[log10(1.5 × 23) ÷ log100.3]
[log10(15/10 × 8 ) ÷ log10( 3/10)]
log10(15/10 × 8 × 10/3 )
log1040
Find the x and z intercepts of the graph of 3x - z \(\leq\) 9
(3, -9)
(-3, 9)
(-3, -9)
(-3, 0)
Correct answer is A
Starting from 3x − z \(\leq\) 9
x = 0, substitute the value of x (i.e. x = 0) into the equation 3x − z \(\leq\) 9
3(0) − z \(\leq\) 9
z \(\leq\) − 9
If z = 0
Then, 3x − 0 \(\leq\) 9
3x \(\leq\) 9
x \(\leq\) 3
Intercept of x and z i.e (x,z)
= (3, -9)
X and Y are two sets such that n(X) = 15, n(Y) = 12 and n{X ∩ Y} = 7. Find ∩{X ∪ Y}
21
225
15
20
Correct answer is D
n(X ∪ Y) = n(X) + n(Y) − n(X ∩ Y) = 15 + 12 − 7 ∴ n(X ∪ Y) = 20
