Here, (9 : 32 : 7)→(9)2 – (7)2 = 81 – 49 = 32 (11 : 96 : 5)→(11)2 – (5)2 = 121 – 25 =
Question : The value of $\frac{4x^{3}-x}{(2x+1)(6x-3)}$, when $x=9999$ is:
Option 1: 1111
Option 2: 2222
Option 3: 3333
Option 4: 6666
Correct Answer: 3333
Solution : Given expression = $\frac{4x^3 - x}{(2x + 1)(6x - 3)}$ and $x=9999$ Now, $\frac{x\left(4x^2 - 1\right)}{\left(2x + 1\right)\times3\left(2x - 1\right)}$ Using identity: $a^{2}-b^{2}=(a-b)(a+b)$, = $\frac{x(2x + 1)(2x - 1)}{3(2x + 1)(2x - 1)}$ = $\frac{x}{3}$ = $\frac{9999}{3}$ = 3333 Hence, the correct answer is 3333.

Question : The sides of similar triangle $\triangle ABC$ and $\triangle DEF$ are in the ratio of $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{5}}$. If the area of $\triangle ABC$ is $90 \text{ cm}^2$, then the area of $\triangle DFF\left(\right.$ in $\left.\text{cm}^2\right)$ is:
Option 1: 150
Option 2: 152
Option 3: 154
Option 4: 156
Correct Answer: 150
Solution : Ratio of their sides = $\frac{\sqrt3}{\sqrt5}$ $\therefore$ Ratio of their areas = $(\frac{\sqrt3}{\sqrt5})^2 = \frac{3}{5}$ Given the area of $\triangle ABC$ = $90\text{ cm}^2$ $\therefore$ Area of $\triangle DEF=90\times \frac{5}{3} = 150\text{ cm}^2$ Hence, the correct answer is 150.
