EXTREME Quant Problem of the Day for April 26, 2021

I didn’t quite understand what exactly was the question asking us to find but here is what I thought it did :
From the question we get : t^2 = h^2 + b^2 —(Pythagoras Theorem )
from this option A will always be 1. So for all the values of w^2 and x^2 this expression will remain the same

One more way to look at it, using trigonometry identities

Assuming angle a between b and t.
cos(a)=h/t
sin(a)=b/t
tan(a)=h/b

Hence correct answer is A
cos^2(a)+sin^2(a)=1 ; For any values of b,t,h

basically, this question can be sloved by that cos :a:^2+sin :a:^2=1, where cos :a:=x,sin :a:=w

the value of A is always 1

t^2 = h^2+b^2
Therefore, 1= (h^2+b^2)/t^2

A. w^2 + x^2 = (h^2+b^2)/t^2 = 1
this equation shows “(h^2+b^2)/t^2 = 1”, whatever the value of t,h,b is- the answer will always be 1

Therefore, A is correct

I’m thinking of ( t^2=h^2+b^2) could t^2 be divided by the whole equation ? isn’t it
H^2+b^2-t^2=0 if we want to take it to the other side ?
Or we can do both ?

Its better to divide t^2 on both sides because then we directly get option a. We can do the other thing too but that wont return us any result
