Question : What is the value of $x$ in the equation $\sqrt{\frac{1+x}{x}}-\sqrt{\frac{x}{1+x}}=\frac{1}{\sqrt6}$?

Option 1: –2

Option 2: 3

Option 3: 2

Option 4: None of these

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 2


Solution : Given: $\sqrt{\frac{1+x}{x}}-\sqrt{\frac{x}{1+x}}=\frac{1}{\sqrt6}$
Squaring both sides
⇒ $\left(\sqrt{\frac{1+x}{x}}-\sqrt{\frac{x}{1+x}}\right)^{2}=\left(\frac{1}{\sqrt6}\right)^{2}$
⇒ $\frac{1+x}{x} +\frac{x}{1+x}-2=\frac{1}{6}$
⇒ $\frac{1+x}{x} +\frac{x}{1+x}=\frac{13}{6}$
⇒ $\frac{1+x^{2}+2x+x^{2}}{x+x^{2}}=\frac{13}{6}$
⇒ $6+6x^{2}+12x+6x^{2}=13x+13x^{2}$
⇒ $6+12x^{2}+12x=13x+13x^{2}$
⇒ $x^{2}+x-6=0$
⇒ $x^{2}+3x-2x-6=0$
⇒ $x(x+3)-2(x+3)=0$
⇒ $(x+3)(x-2)=0$
⇒ $x=-3, 2$
From the given options we can say that the value of $x$ is 2.
Hence,

Question : If $(a+b+c)=14$ and $\left(a^3+b^3+c^3-3abc\right)=98$, find the value of $\left(a^2+b^2+c^2\right)$.

Option 1: 70

Option 2: 64

Option 3: 68

Option 4: 72

Team Careers360 20th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 70


Solution : $a^3 + b^3 + c^3 - 3abc = (a+b+c)(a^2+b^2+c^2-ab-bc-ac)$.
Given that:
$(a+b+c)=14$ and $\left(a^3+b^3+c^3-3 a b c\right)=98$
So, $98 = 14(a^2+b^2+c^2-ab-bc-ac)$
⇒ $(a^2+b^2+c^2) = 7+ ab + bc + ac$...(i)
We know that, $(a+b+c)^2 = a^2 + b^2 + c^2 + 2(ab+bc+ac)$...(ii)
From equation (i),
