Question : Directions: Select the correct combination of mathematical signs to sequentially replace the * signs and to balance the given equation. 50 * 25 * 10 * 2 * 175
Option 1: +, ÷, ×, =
Option 2: −, ×, ÷, =
Option 3: −, ×, +, =
Option 4: +, ×, ÷, =
Correct Answer: +, ×, ÷, =
Solution : Given: 50 * 25 * 10 * 2 * 175
Replacing the given symbols in the equations – First option: +, ÷, x, = ⇒ 50 + 25 ÷ 10 x 2 = 175 ⇒50 + 2.5 x 2 = 175 ⇒50
Question : If $x^2+\frac{1}{x^2}=66$, the value of $x-\frac{1}{x}$ is:
Option 1: 10
Option 2: 8
Option 3: 9
Option 4: 6
Correct Answer: 8
Solution : Given, $x^2+\frac{1}{x^2}=66$ ⇒ $x^2+\frac{1}{x^2} -2=66-2$ ⇒ $x^2+\frac{1}{x^2} -2(x)(\frac{1}{x})=64$ We know that $(a-b)^2 = a^2+b^2-2ab$ So, $(x-\frac{1}{x})^2=8^2$ ⇒ $(x-\frac{1}{x})=8$ Hence, the correct answer is 8.
