Question : Three numbers are such that their sum is 50, the product is 3750 and the sum of their reciprocals is $\frac{31}{150}$. Find the sum of the squares of the three numbers.

Option 1: $2500$

Option 2: $1250$

Option 3: $950$

Option 4: $122$

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $950$


Solution : Let the numbers be $a, b$ and $c$.
Given: $(a + b + c) = 50$, $abc = 3750$ and $\frac{1}{a} + \frac{1}{b} + \frac{1}{c} = \frac{31}{150}$
Now, $\frac{1}{a} + \frac{1}{b} + \frac{1}{c} = \frac{(bc + ac + ab)}{abc}$
⇒ $\text{(bc+ac +ab)} = \frac{31}{150}\times 3750

Question : $\triangle \mathrm {ABC}$ is similar to $\triangle \mathrm{PQR}$ and $\mathrm{PQ}=10 \mathrm{~cm}$. If the area of $\triangle \mathrm{ABC}$ is $32 \mathrm{~cm}^2$ and the area of $\triangle \mathrm{PQR}$ is $50 \mathrm{~cm}^2$, then the length of $A B$ (in $\mathrm{cm}$ ) is equal to:

Option 1: 10

Option 2: 4

Option 3: 6

Option 4: 8

Team Careers360 24th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 8


Solution : If $\triangle \mathrm{A B C}$ is similar to $\triangle \mathrm{PQR}$
⇒ $\frac{\text{Ares of triangle ABC}}{AB^2}=\frac{\text{Area of triangle PQR}}{PQ^2}$
⇒ $\frac{32}{AB^2}=\frac{50}{10^2}$
⇒ $AB^2=\frac{32}{50}\times 100$
⇒ $AB^2=64$ cm
⇒ $AB=\sqrt{64}=8$ cm
Hence, the correct answer is 8 cm.
