Question : Given that $\sqrt3=1.732$, the value of $\frac{3+\sqrt6}{5\sqrt3-2\sqrt{12}-\sqrt{32}+\sqrt{50}}$ is:

Option 1: 4.899

Option 2: 2.551

Option 3: 1.414

Option 4: 1.732

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 1.732


Solution : Given:
$\sqrt{3}=1.732$
$\frac{3+\sqrt{6}}{5\sqrt{3}-2\sqrt{12}-\sqrt{32}+\sqrt{50}}$
Now evaluate:
$= \frac{3+\sqrt{6}}{5\sqrt{3}-2\sqrt{4\times3}-\sqrt{16\times2}+\sqrt{25\times2}}$
$=\frac{3+\sqrt{6}}{5\sqrt{3}-4\sqrt{3}-4\sqrt{2}+5\sqrt{2}}$
$=\frac{3+\sqrt{6}}{5(\sqrt{3}+\sqrt{2})-4(\sqrt{3}+\sqrt{2})}$
$=\frac{3+\sqrt{6}}{\sqrt{3}+\sqrt{2}}$
Now multiply and divide with $\sqrt{3}-\sqrt{2}.$
$=\frac{3+\sqrt{6}}{\sqrt{3}+\sqrt{2}}\times\frac{\sqrt{3}-\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{3}-\sqrt{2}}$
$=\frac{3\sqrt{3}-3\sqrt{2}+\sqrt{18}-\sqrt{12}}{3-2}$
$=\frac{3\sqrt{3}-3\sqrt{2}+\sqrt{9\times2}-\sqrt{4\times3}}{1}$
$=3\sqrt{3}-3\sqrt{2}+3\sqrt{2}-2\sqrt{3}$
$=3\sqrt{3}-2\sqrt{3}$
$=\sqrt{3}(3-2)$
$=\sqrt{3}$
$=1.732$
Hence, the correct answer is 1.732.

Question : If $p-\frac{1}{p}=6$, then what is the value of $p^4+\frac{1}{p^4}$?

Option 1: 1562

Option 2: 1432

Option 3: 1442

Option 4: 1444

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 1442


Solution : $\mathrm{p}-\frac{1}{\mathrm{p}}=6$
Squaring both sides, we get,
$⇒p^2+\frac{1}{p^2}-2(p)(\frac{1}{p})=36$
$⇒p^2+\frac{1}{p^2}-2=36$
$⇒p^2+\frac{1}{p^2}=38$
Squaring both sides again, we get,
$⇒p^4+\frac{1}{p^4}+2(p^2)(\frac{1}{p^2})=1444$
$⇒p^4+\frac{1}{p^4}+2=1444$
$\therefore p^4+\frac{1}{p^4}=1442$
Hence, the correct answer is 1442.

Question : If $x+\frac{1}{x}=c+\frac{1}{c}$, then the value of $x$ is:

Option 1: $c,\frac{1}{c}$

Option 2: $c,c^{2}$

Option 3: $c,2c$

Option 4: $0, 1$

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $c,\frac{1}{c}$


Solution : Given: $x+\frac{1}{x}=c+\frac{1}{c}$
⇒ $x-c=\frac{1}{c}–\frac{1}{x}$
⇒ $x-c=\frac{(x–c)}{xc}$
⇒ $(x-c)-\frac{(x–c)}{xc}=0$
⇒ $(x-c)[1-\frac{1}{xc}]=0$
Taking, $(x-c)=0$
⇒ $x=c$
Now, taking $[1-\frac{1}{xc}]=0$
⇒ $\frac{1}{xc}=1$
⇒ $x=\frac{1}{c}$
Hence, the correct answer is $c,\frac{1}{c}$.

Question : In 6 minutes, $\frac{4}{13}$ of a bucket is filled. How much time will it take to fill the remaining bucket?

Option 1: 13 minutes 30 seconds

Option 2: 14 minutes 30 seconds

Option 3: 11 minutes 30 seconds

Option 4: 12 minutes 30 seconds

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 13 minutes 30 seconds


Solution : Work = Efficiency × Time
Let the capacity of the bucket be 13 units, then 4 units will be filled in 6 minutes.
then, 1 unit is filled in $\frac{6}{4}$ minutes = 1.5 minutes
So, the remaining 9 units be filled in
