Question : If $\left(x^2 - \frac{1}{x^2}\right) = 4 \sqrt{6}$ and $x>1$, what is the value of $\left(x^3 - \frac{1}{x^3}\right)?$

Option 1: $20 \sqrt{2}$

Option 2: $24 \sqrt{2}$

Option 3: $18 \sqrt{2}$

Option 4: $22 \sqrt{2}$

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $22 \sqrt{2}$


Solution : Given: $x^2 -\frac{1}{x^2} = 4\sqrt6$
Squaring both sides we get,
⇒ $x^4 +\frac{1}{x^4} - 2 = 96$
⇒ $x^4 +\frac{1}{x^4}+2 = 98+2$
⇒ $ (x^2+\frac{1}{x^2})^2 =100$
⇒ $x^2 +\frac{1}{x^2} = 10$ ---------------(1)
⇒ $x^2 +\frac{1}{x^2} -2= 10-2$
⇒ $(x-\frac{1}{x})^2=8$
⇒ $(x-\frac{1}{x}) = 2\sqrt2$ ----------------(2)

Question : If $\frac{a}{q-r}=\frac{b}{r-p}=\frac{c}{p-q}$, find the value of $(pa+qb+rc)$.

Option 1: 0

Option 2: 1

Option 3: 2

Option 4: –1

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 0


Solution : Given: $\frac{a}{q-r}=\frac{b}{r-p}=\frac{c}{p-q}$
Let $\frac{a}{q-r}=\frac{b}{r-p}=\frac{c}{p-q}=k$
$\frac{a}{q-r}=k$
Multiplying by $p$, we get:
$pa=k(pq-pr)$ -------------------(1)
Similarly, $qb=k(qr-qp)$ ------------------(2)
and $rc=k(rp-rq)$ --------------------------(3)
Adding equations (1), (2), and (3), we get,
$⇒pa+qb+rc=k(pq-pr+qr-qp+rp-rq)$
$\therefore pa+qb+rc=0$
Hence, the correct answer is 0.
