Question : What is the value of $\left(27x^3 + 58x^2 y + 31xy^2 + 8y^3\right)$, when $x = 5$ and $y = –7$?
Option 1: 1924
Option 2: –1926
Option 3: –1924
Option 4: 1926
Correct Answer: –1924
Solution : Given: $x = 5 $ and $y = -7$ $\left(27x^3 + 58x^2y + 31xy^2 + 8y^3\right)$ = $27x^3+54x^2y+36xy^2+8y^3+ 4x^{2}y - 5xy^{2}$ = $(3x + 2y)^{3} + 4x^{2}y - 5xy^{2}$ = $(3 \times 5 + 2 \times (-7)^{3} + 4 \times 5^{2} \times (-7) -(5\times 5
Question : Directions: Select the correct combination of mathematical signs to replace * signs and to balance the following equation. 48 * 4 * 6 * 3 * 30
Option 1: –, +, =, ×
Option 2: ÷, =, ×, +
Option 3: ÷, +, ×, =
Option 4: –, =, ×, +
Correct Answer: ÷, +, ×, =
Solution : Given: 48 * 4 * 6 * 3 * 30
First option: –, +, =, × 48 – 4 + 6 = 3 × 30 L.H.S.→48 – 4 + 6 = 54 – 4 = 50 R.H.S.→3 × 30 = 90 L.H.S.
Question : By selling a bag for Rs. 230, a profit of 15% is made. The selling price of the bag, when sold at 20% profit, would be:
Option 1: Rs. 250
Option 2: Rs. 205
Option 3: Rs. 240
Option 4: Rs. 200
Correct Answer: Rs. 240
Solution : Let the Cost price (CP) be Rs. $x$. Selling price (SP) of the bag = Rs. 230 and profit = 15% SP = $\frac{100 +\text{Profit %}}{100}$ × CP = 230 ⇒ $\frac{115x}{100}$ = 230 ⇒ $x$ = $\frac{230}{115}$ × 100 ⇒ $x$ = 200
Question : Evaluate the following. $\sin 25^{\circ} \sin 65^{\circ}-\cos 25^{\circ} \cos 65^{\circ}$.
Option 1: 40
Option 2: 4
Option 3: 0
Option 4: 1
Correct Answer: 0
Solution : $\sin 25^{\circ} \sin 65^{\circ}-\cos 25^{\circ} \cos 65^{\circ}$ We know that, $\cos(x + y) = \cos x \cos y - \sin x \sin y$ Applying, $\sin 25^{\circ} \sin 65^{\circ}-\cos 25^{\circ} \cos 65^{\circ}$ = $-(-\sin 25^{\circ} \sin 65^{\circ}+\cos 25^{\circ} \cos 65^{\circ})$ = $-\cos(25^{\circ}+65^{\circ})$ = $-\cos90^{\circ}=0$ Hence, the
