Question : If $u{_n}=\frac{1}{n}-\frac{1}{n+1}$, then the value of $u{_1} + u{_2}+u{_3}+u{_4}+u{_5}$ is:
Option 1: $\frac{1}{2}$
Option 2: $\frac{1}{3}$
Option 3: $\frac{2}{5}$
Option 4: $\frac{5}{6}$
Correct Answer: $\frac{5}{6}$
Solution : Given: $u{_n}=\frac{1}{n}-\frac{1}{n+1}$ We have to find the value of $u{_1} + u{_2}+u{_3}+u{_4}+u{_5}$. $u{_1}=1-\frac{1}{2}$ $u{_2}=\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{3}$ $u{_3}=\frac{1}{3}-\frac{1}{4}$ $u{_4}=\frac{1}{4}-\frac{1}{5}$ $u{_5}=\frac{1}{5}-\frac{1}{6}$ Now, $ u{_1} + u{_2}+u{_3}+u{_4}+u{_5} = 1-\frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{3}-\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{4}-\frac{1}{5}+\frac{1}{5}-\frac{1}{6}$ $=1-\frac{1}{6} =\frac{5}{6}$ Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{5}{6}$.
Question : If $(x-2)$ is a factor of $x^2+3Qx – 2Q$, then the value of $Q$ is:
Option 1: 2
Option 2: –2
Option 3: 1
Option 4: –1
Correct Answer: –1
Solution : Given: $(x-2)$ is a factor of $x^2+3Qx-2Q$. Since $(x-2)$ is a factor of $P(x)=x^2+3Qx-2Q$. Then, $P(2)=0$ So, $x^2+3Qx-2Q=0$ $⇒2^2+3Q\times2-2Q=0$ $⇒4+6Q-2Q=0$ $⇒4Q=-4$ $\therefore Q=-1$ Hence, the correct answer is –1.
