Question : Directions: If D stands for ×, S stands for +, A stands for –, and M stands for ÷, what is the value of the given expression? 28 D 6 S 34 M 2 A 8 D 6 = ?
Option 1: 558
Option 2: 3312
Option 3: 137
Option 4: 31
Correct Answer: 137
Solution : Given: 28 D 6 S 34 M 2 A 8 D 6 = ?
After replacing the letters with mathematical signs, the equation becomes – = 28 × 6 + 34 ÷ 2 – 8 × 6 = 28 × 6 + 17 – 8
Question : Directions: In a certain code language, birds are flying is coded as 536, the nest is big is coded as 3423 and close the door is coded as 534. How will complete your work be coded in that language?
Option 1: 844
Option 2: 484
Option 3: 733
Option 4: 955
Correct Answer: 844
Solution : Given: 1. birds are flying ⇒ 536 2. the nest is big ⇒ 3423 3. close the door ⇒ 534
Count the number of letters in birds are flying to obtain the required code – birds→5, are→3, flying→6 Thus, birds are flying is coded as
Question : What is $\sin \alpha - \sin\beta$?
Option 1: $2 \cos \frac{\alpha+\beta}{2} \sin \frac{\alpha-\beta}{2}$
Option 2: $2 \sin \frac{\alpha+\beta}{2} \sin \frac{\alpha-\beta}{2}$
Option 3: $2 \cos \frac{\alpha-\beta}{2} \sin \frac{\alpha+\beta}{2}$
Option 4: $2 \cos \frac{\alpha+\beta}{2} \cos \frac{\alpha-\beta}{2}$
Correct Answer: $2 \cos \frac{\alpha+\beta}{2} \sin \frac{\alpha-\beta}{2}$
Solution : The formula of $\sin α - \sin β$ is given by $2 \cos \frac{\alpha+\beta}{2} \sin \frac{\alpha-\beta}{2}$. Hence, the correct answer is $2 \cos \frac{\alpha+\beta}{2} \sin \frac{\alpha-\beta}{2}$.

Question : A vendor buys bananas at 9 for Rs. 8 and sells them at 8 for Rs. 9. What will be the profit or loss (in %)?
Option 1: 13.28% profit
Option 2: 26.56% loss
Option 3: 26.56% profit
Option 4: 13.28 % loss
Correct Answer: 26.56% profit
Solution : Cost price of one banana = $\frac{8}{9}$ Selling price of one banana = $\frac{9}{8}$ Profit = Selling price – Cost price = $\frac{9}{8}$–$\frac{8}{9}$ = $\frac{17}{72}$ Profit% = $\frac{\frac{17}{72}×100}{\frac{8}{9}}$ = $\frac{17×100×9}{72×8}$ = 26.56% Hence, the correct answer is 26.56% profit.

In this sentence, the word "of" is incorrect. It should be replaced with the preposition that means away from or diverted from. The correct preposition is off in this context, which means to divert one's attention away from
Question : If $x+\frac{1}{x}=2 \sqrt{5}$ where $x>1$, then the value of $x^3-\frac{1}{x^3}$ is:
Option 1: 82
Option 2: 76
Option 3: 86
Option 4: 78
Correct Answer: 76
Solution : Given: $x+\frac{1}{x}=2 \sqrt{5}$ ⇒ $(x+\frac{1}{x})^2=(2 \sqrt{5})^2$ ⇒ $x^2+\frac{1}{x^2}+2=20$ ⇒ $x^2+\frac{1}{x^2}=18$ -------------(i) ⇒ $x^2+\frac{1}{x^2}-2=18-2=16$ ⇒ $(x-\frac{1}{x})^2=(4)^2$ ⇒ $x-\frac{1}{x}=4$ -------------(ii) So, $x^3-\frac{1}{x^3}$ = $(x-\frac{1}{x})(x^2+\frac{1}{x^2}+x×\frac{1}{x})$ = 4 × (18 + 1) = 76 Hence, the correct answer is 76.
