Question : Rs. 16,820 is divided between two brothers of age 27 years and 25 years. They invested their money at 5% per annum compound interest in such a way that both will receive equal money at the age of 40 years. The share (in Rs.) of elder brother is:

Option 1: Rs. 8,280

Option 2: Rs. 8,410

Option 3: Rs. 8,820

Option 4: Rs. 8,000

Team Careers360 23rd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Rs. 8,820


Solution : Suppose Share of elder brother = Rs. $y$
∴ Share of younger brother = Rs. $(16820 – y)$
Using the given formula,
$A=P(1+\frac{R}{100})^n$
According to the question,
$y(1+\frac{5}{100})^{13}=(16820-y)(1+\frac{5}{100})^{15}$
⇒ $y=(16820-y)(1+\frac{5}{100})^{2}$
⇒ $y=(16820-y)(\frac{21}{20})^{2}$
⇒ $y(\frac{20}{21})^{2}=(16820-y)$
⇒ $\frac{400y}{441}+y=16820$
⇒ $\frac{400y+441y}{441}=16820$
⇒ $\frac{881y}{441}=16820$
⇒ $y = 441×20

Question : In triangle ABC, $\angle$ B = 90°, and $\angle$C = 45°. If AC = $2 \sqrt{2}$ cm then the length of BC is:

Option 1: 3 cm

Option 2: 2 cm

Option 3: 1 cm

Option 4: 4 cm

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 2 cm


Solution :
AC = $2 \sqrt{2}$ cm
Also, $\angle$B = 90°, and $\angle$C = 45°
Applying angle sum property in triangle ABC,
$\angle$ A + $\angle$ B + $\angle$ C = 180°
or, $\angle$A + 90° + 45° = 180°
or, $\angle$A = 45°
Since, $\angle$A

Question : The whole surface area of a pyramid whose base is a regular polygon is 340 cm2, the area of its base is 100 cm2, and the area of each lateral face is 30 cm2. Then the number of lateral faces is:

Option 1: 8

Option 2: 9

Option 3: 7

Option 4: 10

Team Careers360 24th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 8


Solution : Given: Whole surface area = 340 cm2
Area of each lateral face = 30 cm2
Area of base = 100 cm2
Whole surface area = lateral surface area + area of the base
⇒ 340 = lateral surface area + 100
$\therefore$

Question : If $\frac{a^{2} - bc}{a^{2}+bc}+\frac{b^{2}-ca}{b^{2}+ca}+\frac{c^{2}-ab}{c^{2}+ab}=1$, then the value of $\frac{a^{2}}{a^{2}+bc}+\frac{b^{2}}{b^{2}+ac}+\frac{c^{2}}{c^{2}+ab}$ is:

Option 1: 0

Option 2: 1

Option 3: –1

Option 4: 2

Team Careers360 24th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 2


Solution : $\frac{a^{2}-bc}{a^{2}+bc}+\frac{b^{2}-ca}{b^{2}+ca}+\frac{c^{2}-ab}{c^{2}+ab}=1$
Adding 3 on both sides,
$⇒(\frac{a^{2}-bc}{a^{2}+bc}+1)+(\frac{b^{2}-ca}{b^{2}+ca}+1)+(\frac{c^{2}-ab}{c^{2}+ab}+1)=1+3$
$⇒(\frac{a^{2}-bc+a^{2}+bc}{a^{2}+bc})+(\frac{b^{2}-ca+b^{2}+ca}{b^{2}+ca})+(\frac{c^{2}-ab+c^{2}+ab}{c^{2}+ab})=4$
$⇒(\frac{2a^{2}}{a^{2}+bc})+(\frac{2b^{2}}{b^{2}+ca})+(\frac{2c^{2}}{c^{2}+ab})=4$
$⇒\frac{a^{2}}{a^{2}+bc}+\frac{b^{2}}{b^{2}+ac}+\frac{c^{2}}{c^{2}+ab}=2$
Hence, the correct answer is 2.

Question : If $x^2-7 x+1=0$ and $0<x<1$, what is the value of $x^2-\frac{1}{x^2}?$

Option 1: $21\sqrt{5}$

Option 2: $-21\sqrt{5}$

Option 3: $28\sqrt{5}$

Option 4: $-28\sqrt{5}$

Team Careers360 24th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $-21\sqrt{5}$


Solution : Given: $x^2-7 x+1=0$
⇒ $x+\frac{1}{x}=7$
Squaring the equation, we get,
$(x+\frac{1}{x})^2=7^2$
⇒ $x^2+\frac{1}{x^2}+2=49$
⇒ $x^2+\frac{1}{x^2}=47$
And we know, $(x-\frac{1}{x})^2=x^2+\frac{1}{x^2}-2$
⇒ $(x-\frac{1}{x})^2=47-2=45$
⇒ $x-\frac{1}{x}=\pm\sqrt{45}$
⇒ $x=-\sqrt{45}$ [As $0<x<1$]
Now consider, $x^2-\frac{1}{x^2}$
Using $a^2-b^2=(a-b)(a+b)$
$=(x+\frac{1}{x})(x-\frac{1}{x})$
$=7\times (-\sqrt{45})$
$=-7\times 3\sqrt5=-21\sqrt5$
Hence, the correct answer is $-21\sqrt5$.
