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: $\frac{5}{6}$

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

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

Team Careers360 24th Jan, 2024

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.
