Question : If $4r=h+\sqrt{r^2+h^2}$, then $r:h$ is?$(r\neq0)$

Option 1: 17 : 8

Option 2: 8 : 17

Option 3: 8 : 15

Option 4: 15 : 8

Team Careers360 20th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 8 : 15


Solution : Given:
$4r=h+\sqrt{r^2+h^2}$
⇒ $4r-h=\sqrt{r^2+h^2}$
Squaring both sides we get,
⇒ $16r^2+h^2-8rh=r^2+h^2$
⇒ $15r^2=8rh$
⇒ $15r=8h$
⇒ $\frac{r}{h}=\frac{8}{15}$
Therefore, $r:h=8:15$
Hence, the correct answer is 8 :15.

Question : If $x=\sqrt[3]{2+\sqrt{3}}$, the value of $x^3+\frac{1}{x^3}$ is:

Option 1: 8

Option 2: 9

Option 3: 2

Option 4: 4

Team Careers360 20th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 4


Solution : Given:
$x=\sqrt[3]{2+\sqrt{3}}$
⇒ $x^3=2+\sqrt{3}$
So, $\frac{1}{x^3}=\frac{1}{2+\sqrt{3}}×\frac{2-\sqrt{3}}{2-\sqrt{3}}=2-\sqrt{3}$
$\therefore x^3+\frac{1}{x^3}=2+\sqrt{3}+2-\sqrt{3}=4$
Hence, the correct answer is 4.

Question : If the value of a company's stock drops from Rs. 25 per share to Rs. 21 per share, the percentage decrease per share is:

Option 1: 4

Option 2: 8

Option 3: 12

Option 4: 16

= $\frac{25 –21}{ 25}×100$
= $\frac{400}{ 25}$
= 16%
Hence, the correct answer is
