Question : If $A=\frac{\sqrt{0.0004} \times \sqrt[3]{0.000008}}{\sqrt[4]{16000} \times \sqrt[3]{125000} \times \sqrt[4]{810}}$ and $B=\frac{\sqrt[3]{0.729} \times \sqrt[4]{0.0016}}{\sqrt{0.16}}$, then what is $A \times B$?

Option 1: $6 \times 10^{–7}$

Option 2: $\frac{7}{4} \times 10^{–8}$

Option 3: $5 \times 10^{–8}$

Option 4: $\frac{7}{3} \times 10^{–7}$

Team Careers360 20th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $6 \times 10^{–7}$


Solution : Given: The values of $A=\frac{\sqrt{0.0004} \times \sqrt[3]{0.000008}}{\sqrt[4]{16000} \times \sqrt[3]{125000} \times \sqrt[4]{810}}$ and $B=\frac{\sqrt[3]{0.729} \times \sqrt[4]{0.0016}}{\sqrt{0.16}}$.
$A=\frac{\sqrt{0.0004} \times \sqrt[3]{0.000008}}{\sqrt[4]{16000} \times \sqrt[3]{125000} \times \sqrt[4]{810}}=\frac{\sqrt{(0.02)^2}\times\sqrt[3]{(0.02)^3}}{\sqrt[4]{2^4\times10^3}\times\sqrt[3]{(50)^3}\times{\sqrt[4]{3^4\times10}}}$
$=\frac{{0.02} \times {0.02}}{(2\times50\times3)\times{\sqrt[4]{(10)^3}}\times{\sqrt[4]{10}}}=\frac{{0.02} \times {0.02}}{300\times{{\sqrt[4]{(10)^3\times10}}}}$
⇒ $A=\frac{{0.02} \times {0.02}}{300\times10}=\frac{0.0004}{3000}$
$B=\frac{\sqrt[3]{0.729} \times \sqrt[4]{0.0016}}{\sqrt{0.16}}=\frac{\sqrt[3]{(0.9)^3} \times \sqrt[4]{(0.2)^4}}{\sqrt{(0.4)^2}}$
⇒ $B= \frac{0.9\times 0.2}{0.4}=\frac{0.9}{0.2}$

Question : An exterior angle of a triangle is 115° and one of the interior opposite angles is 45°. The other two angles are:

Option 1: 65° and 70°

Option 2: 60° and 75°

Option 3: 45° and 90°

Option 4: 50° and 85°

Team Careers360 19th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 65° and 70°


Solution :
Given:
$\angle$ACD = 115°, $\angle$BAC = 45°
We know, $\angle$ABC + $\angle$CAB = $\angle$ACD
⇒ $\angle$ABC = 115° - 45° 
$\therefore$ $\angle$ABC = 70°
$\angle$ACB + $\angle$BAC + $\angle$ABC = 180°
⇒ $\angle$ACB + 45° + 70° = 180°
$\therefore$ $\angle$ACB = 180°

Question : The tens digit of a two-digit number is larger than the unit digit by 7. If we subtract 63 from the number, the new number obtained is a number formed by the interchange of the digits. Find the number.

Option 1: 81

Option 2: 18

Option 3: 62

Option 4: 26

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 81


Solution : Let the number be $(10x + y)$.
According to the question,
$x > y$
⇒ $x - y = 7$
Now,
⇒ $(10x + y) - 63 =10y + x$
Options 1, 2, 3 i.e. (18, 62, 26) is lesser than 63, so we will
