Question : A policeman starts chasing a thief when he is already 600 metres ahead. If the policeman is running at a speed of 9 km/hr and the thief at 8 km/hr, then the thief would be caught at a distance of:

Option 1: 6.5 km

Option 2: 6 km

Option 3: 5 km

Option 4: 5.4 km

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 5.4 km


Solution : Thief's speed = 8 km/hr = $8×\frac{5}{18}$ = $\frac{20}{9}$ m/s
Policeman's speed = 9 km/h = $9×\frac{5}{18}=\frac{5}{2}$ m/s
Distance $=\frac{\text{Difference of distance × Faster speed}}{\text{Faster speed – Slower speed}}$
$=\frac{600×\frac{5}{2}}{\frac{5}{2}-\frac{20}{9}}=600×\frac{5}{2}×\frac{18}{5}=5400$ m $= 5.4$ km
Hence, the correct answer is 5.4 km.

Question : If $(a+\frac{1}{a})^{2}=3$, then the value of $a^{18}+a^{12}+a^{6}+1$ is:

Option 1: 3

Option 2: 1

Option 3: 0

Option 4: 2

Team Careers360 19th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 0


Solution : Given: $(a+\frac{1}{a})^{2}=3$
⇒ $(a+\frac{1}{a})=\sqrt3$
Cubing both sides,
$(a^3+\frac{1}{a^3})= (\sqrt3)^3-3\times\sqrt3$
⇒ $(a^3+\frac{1}{a^3})= 0$
Now,
$a^{18}+a^{12}+a^{6}+1$
$=a^{15}(a^3+\frac{1}{a^3})+a^{3}(a^3+\frac{1}{a^3})$
$=(a^{15}+a^3)(a^3+\frac{1}{a^3})$
$= 0$
Hence, the correct answer is 0.
