Verified Correct Answer: Option D
Step-by-Step Mathematical Solution
\(\int\) cos4 x dx
let u = 4x
\(\frac{dy}{dx}\) = 4
dx = \(\frac{dy}{4}\)
\(\int\)cos u. \(\frac{dy}{4}\) = \(\frac{1}{4}\)\(\int\)cos u du
= \(\frac{1}{4}\) sin u + k
= \(\frac{1}{4}\) sin4x + k

medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option A
Step-by-Step Mathematical Solution
Let the numbers be a, a + 1, a + 2, a + 3
a + a + 1 + a + 2 + a + 3 = 34
4a = 34 - 6
4a = 28
a = \(\frac{28}{4}\)
= 7
The least of these numbers is a = 7

\(\bar{x}\) = \(\frac {\sum fx}{\sum f}\)
= \(\frac {8 + 14 + 20}{2 + 2 + 2}\)
= \(\frac{42}{6}\)
\(\bar{x}\) = 7
S.D = \(\sqrt\frac{\sum f(x - \bar{x})^2}{\sum f}\)
= \(\sqrt\frac{18 + 0 + 18}{6}\)
= \(\sqrt\frac{36}{6}\)

Verified Correct Answer: Option C
Step-by-Step Mathematical Solution
Prime numbers = (43,47,53,59)
N = (43, 44, 45,..., 60)
The universal set contains 18 numbers.
The prime numbers between 43 and 60 are 4
Probability of picking a prime number = \(\frac{4}{18}\)
= \(\frac{2}{9}\)

Step-by-Step Mathematical Solution
\(\frac {\sin\theta}{\cos\theta}\)
\(\frac{\cos \theta {\frac{d(\sin \theta)}{d \theta}} - \sin \theta {\frac{d(\cos \theta)}{d \theta}}}{\cos^2 \theta}\)
\(\frac{\cos \theta. \cos \theta - \sin \theta (-\sin \theta)}{cos^2\theta}\)
\(\frac{cos^2\theta + \sin^2 \theta}{cos^2\theta}\)
Recall that sin2 \(\theta\) + cos2 \(\theta\) = 1
\(\frac{1}{\cos^2\theta}\) = sec2 \(\theta\)

A
x = 1, y = -2
B
x = 1, y = 3
C
x = -2, y = -1
D
x = 4, y = -3
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option A
Step-by-Step Mathematical Solution
3x - 2y = 7; Solve by elimination method
x + 2y = -3
3x - 2y = 7.....(i)
-3x + 6y = -9.....(ii)
-8y = 16
y = \(\frac{16}{-8} = -2\)
Put y = -2 into equation (i); 3x - 2y = 7
3x - 2(-2) = 7
3x + 4 = 7
3x = 7 - 4
3x = 3
x = \(\frac{3}{3}\) = 1
