Option 1: $1000\sqrt{3}$

Option 2: $\frac{1000}{{\sqrt3}}$

Option 3: $500{\sqrt3}$

Option 4: $\frac{500}{{\sqrt3}}$

Team Careers360 19th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $1000\sqrt{3}$


Solution :  
Let D be the aeroplane.

 In $\triangle DBC,$
$\tan 60^{\circ} = \frac{DC}{BC}$
$\Rightarrow \sqrt{3} = \frac{1500}{BC}$
$\Rightarrow BC = \frac{1500}{\sqrt{3}} \text{ m}$
In $\triangle ADC,

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: $3y$

Team Careers360 20th Jan, 2024

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 $y$.
