Question : Which of the following is TRUE?
I. $\frac{1}{\sqrt[3]{12}}>\frac{1}{\sqrt[4]{29}}>\frac{1}{\sqrt5}$
II. $\frac{1}{\sqrt[4]{29}}>\frac{1}{\sqrt[3]{12}}>\frac{1}{\sqrt5}$
III. $\frac{1}{\sqrt5}>\frac{1}{\sqrt[3]{12}}>\frac{1}{\sqrt[4]{29}}$
IV. $\frac{1}{\sqrt5}>\frac{1}{\sqrt[4]{29}}>\frac{1}{\sqrt[3]{12}}$

Option 1: Only I

Option 2: Only II

Option 3: Only III

Option 4: Only IV

Team Careers360 24th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Only III


Solution : Calculating the values: (taking the 12th power of each term)
$\frac{1}{\sqrt[3]{12}} \rightarrow  \frac{1}{12^4} = \frac{1}{20736}$
$\frac{1}{\sqrt[4]{29}} \rightarrow  \frac{1}{29^3} =\frac{1}{24389}$
$\frac{1}{\sqrt5} \rightarrow  \frac{1}{5^6} = \frac{1}{15625}$
In fractions, the fraction value is low for fractions with large denominators.
Comparing these values, we get:
$\frac{1}{\sqrt5} >\frac{1}{\sqrt[3]{12}}

Question : For what value of m will the system of equations $17x + my + 102 = 0$ and $23x + 299y + 138 = 0$ will have an infinite number of solutions?

Option 1: 221

Option 2: 223

Option 3: 220

Option 4: 219

Team Careers360 9th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 221


Solution : Given: $17x + my + 102 = 0$ and $23x + 299y + 138 = 0$
$a_1x + b_1y + c_1 = 0$
$a_2x + b_2y + c_2 = 0$
The condition for an infinite number of solutions is $\frac{a_1}{a_2}=\frac{b_1}{b_2}=\frac{c_1}{c_2}$
According to the question,
$\frac{17}{23}=\frac{m}{299}$

Question : What is the value of the expression $\cos 2 A \cos 2 B+\sin ^2(A-B)-\sin ^2(A+B)$?

Option 1: $\sin (2 A-2 B)$

Option 2: $\sin (2 A+2 B)$

Option 3: $\cos (2 A+2 B)$

Option 4: $\cos (2 A-2 B)$

Team Careers360 17th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\cos (2 A+2 B)$


Solution : Given, $\cos(2A)\cos(2B)+\sin^2(A-B)-\sin^2(A+B)$
$=\cos(2A)\cos(2B) - [\sin^2(A + B) - \sin^2(A - B)]$
$=\cos(2A)\cos(2B) - [\sin(A + B) + \sin(A - B)][\sin(A + B) - \sin(A - B)]$
Using Identities: $\sin C + \sin D = 2\sin \frac{C+D}{2}\cos \frac{C-D}{2}$ and
$\sin C - \sin
