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

Team Careers360 20th Jan, 2024

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

Team Careers360 18th Jan, 2024

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
