Question : Distance covered by object is ________to time.
Option 1: equal proportional
Option 2: directly proportional
Option 3: inversely proportional
Option 4: double proportional

Distance is a scalar quantity, meaning it has only magnitude and no direction.
Question : A train covers the distance between station A and station B in 45 minutes. If the speed of the train is reduced by 5 km/hr, then the same distance is covered in 48 minutes. The distance between stations A and B is:
Option 1: 60 km
Option 2: 64 km
Option 3: 80 km
Option 4: 55 km
Correct Answer: 60 km
Solution : Let the distance between the two stations be $x$ km. So, the speed of the train is $\frac{x}{\frac{45}{60}}=\frac{4x}{3}$ km/hr According to the question, $\frac{x}{\frac{4x}{3}-5}=\frac{48}{60}$ ⇒ $\frac{x}{\frac{4x-15}{3}}=\frac{48}{60}$ ⇒ $\frac{3x}{4x-15}=\frac{4}{5}$ ⇒ $16x-60=15x$ ⇒ $x=60$ km Hence, the correct answer is 60 km.

Question : If $(x+y)^3+8(x-y)^3=(3 x+A y)\left(3 x^2+B x y+C y^2\right)$, then the value of (A + B + C) is:
Option 1: 0
Option 2: 4
Option 3: 2
Option 4: 3
Correct Answer: 0
Solution : $(x+y)^3+8(x-y)^3=(3 x+A y)\left(3 x^2+B x y+C y^2\right)$ Taking L.H.S. $(x+y)^3+8(x-y)^3$ $=(x+y)^3+[2(x-y)]^3$ Using identity, $a^3+b^3=(a+b)(a^2-ab+b^2)$ $=[x+y+2(x-y)][(x+y)^2-2(x+y)(x-y)+[2(x-y)]^2]$ $=(3x-y)[(x^2+y^2+2xy) -2(x^2-y^2)+[4(x^2+y^2-2xy]]$ $=(3x-y)[x^2+y^2+2xy -2x^2+2y^2+4x^2+4y^2-8xy]$ $=(3x-y)(3x^2 -6xy+7y^2)$ On comparing the coefficient with R.H.S., we get, ⇒ A = –1 ⇒ B = –6 ⇒ C = 7 $\therefore$ (A + B
