Option 1: 55.35

Option 2: 57.75

Option 3: 54.35

Option 4: 56.25

Team Careers360 22nd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 56.25

The increase takes the positive percentage values and the decreases take the negative percentage values of $x$ and $y$.
⇒ $x-20-\frac{20x}{100} = 25$
⇒ $x-\frac{x}{5} = 45$
⇒ $\frac{4x}{5} = 45$
⇒ $x = \frac{45×5}{4}= \frac{225}{4}=56.25$%
Hence, the correct answer is

Question : If $(x+\frac{1}{x})\neq 0$ and $(x^3+\frac{1}{x^3})= 0$, then the value $(x+\frac{1}{x})^4$ is:

Option 1: 9

Option 2: 12

Option 3: 15

Option 4: 16

Team Careers360 22nd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 9


Solution : Given: $(x+\frac{1}{x})\neq 0$ and $(x^3+\frac{1}{x^3})=0$
$(x+\frac{1}{x})^3=x^3+\frac{1}{x^3}+3×x×\frac{1}{x}(x+\frac{1}{x})$
Substitute the value of $(x^3+\frac{1}{x^3})=0$ in above equation, we get,
⇒ $(x+\frac{1}{x})^3=0+3(x+\frac{1}{x})$
⇒ $(x+\frac{1}{x})^3=3(x+\frac{1}{x})$
⇒ $(x+\frac{1}{x})^{3–1}=3$
⇒ $(x+\frac{1}{x})^2=3$
On squaring both sides of the above equation, we get,
⇒ $((x+\frac{1}{x})^2)^2=3^2$
⇒ $(x+\frac{1}{x})^4=9$
Hence, the correct answer is 9.
