Option 1: Rs. 5 per kg

Question : If $(a+\frac{1}{a})=–2$, then the value of $a^{1000}+a^{–1000}$ is:

Option 1: $2$

Option 2: $0$

Option 3: $1$

Option 4: $\frac{1}{2}$

Team Careers360 22nd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $2$


Solution : Given: $(a+\frac{1}{a})= -2$
$⇒\frac{a^2+1}{a}=-2$
$⇒a^2+2a+1=0$
$⇒(a+1)^2=0$
$\therefore a= -1$
So, $a^{1000} + \frac{1}{a^{1000}} = 1+1=2$
Hence, the correct answer is $2$.

The relative speed of the policeman to the thief = (10 – 8) = 2 km/hr
2 km/h = $2×\frac{1000}{60}=\frac{100}{3}$ m/min
Relative distance to be covered by policeman = 600
