Question : If $x+ \frac{1}{x} =2$, then the value of $({x}^{99}+ \frac{1}{x^{99}} –2)$ is:

Option 1: –2

Option 2: 0

Option 3: 2

Option 4: 4

Team Careers360 15th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 0


Solution : Given:
$⇒x+ \frac{1}{x} =2$
By squaring both sides,
$({x}+ \frac{1}{x})^{2} =({2})^{2}$
$⇒{x}^{2}+ \frac{1}{x^{2}}+2×x×\frac{1}{x} =4$
$⇒{x}^{2}+ \frac{1}{x^{2}}=2$
Similarly, we can find,
$({x}+ \frac{1}{x})^{3} =({2})^{3}$
$⇒{x}^{3}+ \frac{1}{x^{3}}+3×x×\frac{1}{x}(x+ \frac{1}{x}) =8$
$⇒{x}^{3}+ \frac{1}{x^{3}}+3×2 =8$
$⇒{x}^{3}+ \frac{1}{x^{3}}=2$
Similarly, we can find the value of,
$⇒{x}^{99}+ \frac{1}{x^{99}}=2$
$\therefore {x}^{99}+ \frac{1}{x^{99}} -2=0$

Question : The rate of simple interest at which a sum of money becomes five times its own value in eight years is:

Option 1: 30%

Option 2: 40%

Option 3: 50%

Option 4: 55%

Team Careers360 21st Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 50%


Solution : Assume the sum of money is $P$.
It will become 5 times after 8 years = $5P$.
So, Simple interest = $5P - P = 4P$.
Rate = $r$
Simple interest = $\frac{\text{Principal×Rate×Time}}{100}$
⇒ $4P = \frac{P×r×8}{100}$
⇒ $r = 50$%
Hence, the correct answer

Question : The distance between the two towns is covered in 7 hours and 30 minutes, at the speed of 72 km/hr. The time saved if the speed is increased by 25% is:

Option 1: 1 hour 36 minutes

Option 2: 1 hour 50 minutes

Option 3: 1 hour 30 minutes

Option 4: 1 hour 20 minutes

Team Careers360 20th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 1 hour 30 minutes


Solution : Given:
Time = 7.5 hr
Speed = 72 km/hr
Distance = Time × Speed
Distance between two towns = 7.5 × 72 = 540 km
New speed = 72 + $\frac{25}{100}$ × 72 = 90 km/hr
Time taken = $\frac{540}{90}$ = 6

Question : $\triangle ABC \sim \triangle DEF$ such that AB = 9.1 cm and DE = 6.5 cm. If the perimeter of $\triangle DEF = 25$ cm, then the perimeter of $\triangle ABC$ is:

Option 1: 40 cm

Option 2: 30 cm

Option 3: 35 cm

Option 4: 45 cm

Team Careers360 21st Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 35 cm


Solution : Given, $\triangle ABC \sim \triangle DEF$
⇒ $\frac{\small\text{Perimeter of } \triangle ABC}{\small\text{Perimeter of }\triangle DEF}=\frac{AB}{DE}$
⇒ $\frac{\small\text{Perimeter of } \triangle ABC}{25}=\frac{9.1}{6.5}$
⇒ $\small\text{Perimeter of } \triangle ABC = \frac{9.1}{6.5}\times 25$
$\therefore \small\text{Perimeter of }\triangle ABC = 35$
Hence, the correct answer is 35 cm.
