Planning and ideas must be joined by hard work to succeed. Dedication makes it happen. Flexibility is the ability to move quickly in response to changing market needs. It is being true to a dream while also being mindful of market realities. A story is told about an entrepreneur who started a fancy shop selling only French pastries.

Passion is what gets entrepreneurs started and keeps them there. It gives entrepreneurs the ability to convince others to believe in their vision. It can’t substitute for planning, but it will help them to stay focused and to get others to look at their plans. Self-confidence comes from thorough planning, which reduces uncertainty and the level of risk. It also comes from expertise.

The value of `cos^(-1) (cos 12) - sin^(-1)(sin 14)` isA. 2B. `8pi - 26`C. `4pi + 2`D. None of these

Answer» Correct Answer - B
Since 1 radian ` = (7pi)/(22)`
`therefore` 12 radian
` =(7pi)/(22) xx 14 = (49pi)/(11) = 4pi - (2pi)/(1)` and 14 radian
` = (7pi)/(22) xx 14 = (49pi)/(11) = 4pi + (5pi)/(11)`
`therefore cos^(-1)(cos 12) - sin^(-1) (sin 14)`
` = cos^(-1) cos (4pi - (2pi)/(11))`
`-sin^(-1)[sin(4pi +(5pi)/(11))]`
`=cos^(-1) cos ((2pi)/(11)) - sin^(-1)(sin.(5pi)/(11))`
` = 4pi - 12 - (14 - 4pi) = 8pi - 26`
49.

Answer» Correct Answer - D
Given equation of ellipse can be rewritten as
`((x-3)^(2))/(16) +(y^(2))/(25) = 1`
The major axis of ellipse is a line parallel to Y-axis , therefore eccentricity of ellipse is given by ` e = sqrt(1-(16)/(25)) = (3)/(5)`
