Question : If $(\sqrt 3 +1)^{2}=x+\sqrt 3 y$, then the value of $(x+y)$ is:

Option 1: 2

Option 2: 4

Option 3: 6

Option 4: 8

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 6


Solution : Given: $(\sqrt{3}+1)^2 = x+\sqrt{3}y$
⇒ $(3+1+2\sqrt{3})=x+\sqrt{3}y$
⇒ $(4+2\sqrt{3})=x+\sqrt{3}y$
Comparing both sides, we get $x=4$ and $y =2$.
Thus, $(x+y)=(4+2)=6$
Hence, the correct answer is 6.

Question : If $3^{10} × 27^{2}= 9^{2}×3^{n}$, then the value of $n$ is:

Option 1: 10

Option 2: 12

Option 3: 15

Option 4: 30

Team Careers360 24th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 12


Solution : Given: $3^{10} × 27^{2}= 9^{2}×3^{n}$
Simplify the given expression for the same base,
$⇒3^{10} × (3^{3})^{2}= 9^{2}×3^{n}$
$⇒(3^{10+6})= (3^{2})^{2}×3^{n}$
$⇒3^{16}= 3^{4}×3^{n}$
$⇒3^{16}= 3^{4+n}$
By comparing this,
$⇒16=4+n$
$\therefore n =12$
Hence, the correct answer is 12.
