Question : If $\frac{b}{a}=0.7$, find the value of $\frac{a–b}{a+b}+\frac{11}{34}$.

Option 1: 0.2

Option 2: 1

Option 3: 0.5

Option 4: 0.3

Team Careers360 17th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 0.5


Solution : Given: The value of the ratio $\frac{b}{a}=0.7$.
The value of the expression $\frac{a–b}{a+b}+\frac{11}{34}$ is given as,
$=\frac{1–\frac{b}{a}}{1+\frac{b}{a}}+\frac{11}{34}$
Substitute the value of $\frac{b}{a}=0.7$ in the above expression,
$=\frac{1–0.7}{1+0.7}+\frac{11}{34}$
$=\frac{0.3}{1.7}+\frac{11}{34}$
$=0.17+0.33=0.5$
Hence, the correct answer is 0.5.

Question : The sum of the first 20 term of the series $\frac{1}{5×6}+\frac{1}{6×7}+\frac{1}{7×8}+....$ is:

Option 1: 0.16

Option 2: 1.6

Option 3: 16

Option 4: 0.016

Team Careers360 21st Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 0.16


Solution : Given: The sum of the first 20 terms of the series $\frac{1}{5×6}+\frac{1}{6×7}+\frac{1}{7×8}+....$
So, $a_{1} =5$ and $a_{20} =5+(20-1)×1=24$
20th term $=\frac{1}{24×25}$
$=\frac{1}{5×6}+\frac{1}{6×7}+\frac{1}{7×8}+.... + \frac{1}{24×25}$
$=\frac{1}{5}-\frac{1}{6} + \frac {1}{6} - \frac{1}{7}+\frac{1}{7}-\frac{1}{8}+..............+\frac{1}{24}-\frac{1}{25}$
$=\frac{1}{5}-\frac{1}{25}$
$=\frac{4}{25}$
$= 0.16$
Hence, the correct answer is 0.16.
