Option 1: 1

Option 2: 2

Option 3: –2

Option 4: –1

Team Careers360 13th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: –1


Solution : Given: $2+4x<5-\frac{x}{2}$ and $3x+3>-5-3x$
Or, $2+4x<\frac{10-x}{2}$ and $3x+3x>-5-3$
Or, $2(2+4x)<10-x$ and $6x>-8$
Or, $4+8x<10-x$ and $x>\frac{-8}{6}$
Or, $x+8x<10-4$ and $x>\frac{-4}{3}$
Or, $9x<6$ and $x>-1.33$
Or, $x<\frac{6}{9}$ and $x>-1.33$
Or, $x<0.67$ and $x>-1.33$
Or, $-1.33<x<0.67$
Amongst all the given values –1 satisfies the above condition.

Question : If $abc = 5$, what is the value of $(\frac{1}{1+a+b^{-1}}+\frac{1}{1+b+5 c^{-1}}+\frac{1}{1+\frac{c}{5}+a^{-1}})$?

Option 1: $5$

Option 2: $1$

Option 3: $\frac{1}{5}$

Option 4: $(a+b+c)$

Team Careers360 18th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $1$


Solution : $abc = 5$
⇒ $b = \frac{5}{ac}$
⇒ $b^{-1} = \frac{ac}{5}$
⇒ $\frac{c}{5} = \frac{1}{ab}$
Now, $(\frac{1}{1+a+b^{-1}}+\frac{1}{1+b+5 c^{-1}}+\frac{1}{1+\frac{c}{5}+a^{-1}})$
= $(\frac{1}{1+a+\frac{ac}{5}}+\frac{1}{1+ \frac{5}{ac}+5 c^{-1}}+\frac{1}{1+ \frac{1}{ab}+a^{-1}})$
= $(\frac{5}{5+5a+ac} +\frac{ac}{5+ 5a +ac}+\frac{5a}{5+5a+ac})$
= $\frac{5+5a+ac}{5+5a+ac}$
= $1$
Hence, the correct answer is $1$.

Question : If $\sqrt{3^{n}} = 2187$, then the value of $n$ is:

Option 1: 13

Option 2: 14

Option 3: 15

Option 4: 16

Team Careers360 23rd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 14


Solution : Given: $\sqrt{3^{n}} = 2187$
$⇒\sqrt{3^{n}} = 3^{7}$
By squaring both sides,
$⇒(\sqrt{3^{n}})^{2} = (3^{7})^{2}$
$⇒3^{n} = 3^{14}$
$\therefore n=14$
Hence, the correct answer is 14.

Option 1: $–1$

Option 2: $1$

Option 3: $0$

Option 4: $\frac{1}{2}$

Team Careers360 13th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $1$


Solution : Given: $a+b=2c$
⇒ $a-c=c-b$
Now, $\frac{a}{a-c}+\frac{c}{b-c}$ can be written as,
$=\frac{a}{a-c}-\frac{c}{c-b}$
$=\frac{a}{a-c}-\frac{c}{a-c}$
$=\frac{a-c}{a-c}= 1$
Hence, the correct answer is $1$.
