Question : If $x+y+z=0$, then what is the value of $\frac{x^2}{3z}+\frac{y^3}{3xz}+\frac{z^2}{3x}$?
Option 1: $0$
Option 2: $xz$
Option 3: $y$
Option 4: $3y$
Correct Answer: $y$
Solution : Given: $x+y+z=0$ We know, $x^3+y^3+z^3-3xyz=0$ ⇒ $x^3+y^3+z^3 = 3xyz$ Now, $\frac{x^2}{3z}+\frac{y^3}{3xz}+\frac{z^2}{3x}$ = $\frac{x^3+y^3+z^3 }{3xz}$ = $\frac{3xyz}{3xz}$ = $y$ Hence, the correct answer is $y$.

Question : Find the number of common tangents, if $r_1+r_2=c_1 c_2$. (With usual notations, $r_1\ \text{and}\ r_2$ and $\mathrm{C}_1 \ \text{and}\ \mathrm{C}_2$ are the radii and centres of the two circles.)
Option 1: 1
Option 2: 0
Option 3: 3
Option 4: 4
Correct Answer: 3
Solution : Given, C1C2 = r1 + r2 ⇒ The circle touches each other externally. When the circle touches each other externally then there are only three tangents are possible. ⇒ Two direct common tangents and one transverse tangent. Hence, the correct
Question : Directions: Select the correct mirror image of the given figure when the mirror is placed at AB as shown.
