Question : Which of the following numbers is a divisor of $\left(49^{15}-1\right)$?

Option 1: 46

Option 2: 14

Option 3: 8

Option 4: 50

Team Careers360 15th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 8


Solution : $\left(49^{15}-1\right)$
= $\left((7^2)^{15}-1\right)$
= $\left(7^{30}-1\right)$
We know that $a^n-b^n$ is divisible by $a+b$, when $a$ and $b$ are prime numbers, for any positive real number $n$.
So, $\left(7^{30}-1\right)$ is divisible by (7 + 1) = 8
Hence, the correct answer is 8.

Question : If $2x-\frac{2}{x}=1(x \neq 0)$, then the the value of $(x^3-\frac{1}{x^3})$ is:

Option 1: $\frac{13}{4}$

Option 2: $\frac{13}{8}$

Option 3: $\frac {17}{4}$

Option 4: $\frac{17}{8}$

Team Careers360 14th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\frac{13}{8}$


Solution : Given: $2x-\frac{2}{x}=1$
Dividing both sides by 2, we get,
⇒ $x-\frac{1}{x} = \frac{1}{2}$
Cubing both sides, we get,
⇒ $(x-\frac{1}{x})^3=(\frac{1}{2})^3$
⇒ $x^3-\frac{1}{x^3}-3×x×\frac{1}{x}(x-\frac{1}{x})=\frac{1}{8}$
⇒ $x^3-\frac{1}{x^3}-3×\frac{1}{2}=\frac{1}{8}$
⇒ $x^3-\frac{1}{x^3}=\frac{1}{8}+\frac{3}{2}$
$\therefore x^3-\frac{1}{x^3}=\frac{13}{8}$
Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{13}{8}$.
