Question : If $\frac{a^2}{b+c}=\frac{b^2}{c+a}=\frac{c^2}{a+b}=1$, then find the value of $\frac{2}{1+a}+\frac{2}{1+b}+\frac{2}{1+c}$.

Option 1: 0

Option 2: 1

Option 3: 2

Option 4: 3

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 2


Solution : Given: $\frac{a^2}{b+c}=\frac{b^2}{c+a}=\frac{c^2}{a+b}=1$
⇒ $a^2=b+c$, $b^2=c+a$, and $c^2=a+b$
Now, $\frac{2}{1+a}+\frac{2}{1+b}+\frac{2}{1+c}$
Multiplying the numerator and denominator of the first, second, and third term by $a$, $b$, and $c$ respectively.
$=\frac{2a}{a+a^2}+\frac{2b}{b+b^2}+\frac{2c}{c+c^2}$
$=\frac{2a}{a+b+c}+\frac{2b}{b+a+c}+\frac{2c}{c+a+b}$
$=\frac{2a+2b+2c}{a+b+c}$
$=\frac{2(a+b+c)}{a+b+c}$
$=2$
Hence, the correct answer is 2.

Question : If $x^4+y^4+x^2 y^2=17 \frac{1}{16}$ and $x^2-x y+y^2=5 \frac{1}{4}$, then one of the values of $(x-y)$ is:

Option 1: $\frac{5}{2}$

Option 2: $\frac{3}{4}$

Option 3: $\frac{5}{4}$

Option 4: $\frac{3}{2}$

Team Careers360 24th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\frac{5}{2}$


Solution : Given: $x^4+y^4+x^2 y^2=17 \frac{1}{16}$..........................(1)
$x^2-x y+y^2=5 \frac{1}{4}$..........................(2)
⇒ $x^4 + y^4 + x^2y^2 = (x^2 - xy + y^2) (x^2 + xy + y^2)$
⇒ $17\frac{1}{16} = 5\frac{1}{4} (x^2 + xy + y^2)$
⇒ $\frac{273}{16} = \frac{21}{4} (x^2 + xy + y^2)$
⇒ $x^2 +

Question : The average mark obtained by a class of 60 students is 65. The average marks of half of the students were found to be 85. The average marks of the remaining students are:

Option 1: 35

Option 2: 45

Option 3: 55

Option 4: 65

Team Careers360 20th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 45


Solution : Let the average marks of the remaining 30 students be $p$.
So, $65=\frac{(30×85)+(30×p)}{60}$
⇒ $65 × 60 = 2550 + 30p$
⇒ $3900 = 2550 + 30p$
⇒ $30p = 3900 – 2550$
⇒ $p=\frac{1350}{30}$
$\therefore p=45$
Hence, the correct answer is 45.
