Question : If $(y-\frac{1}{y})=-9$, what will be the value of $(y^5-\frac{1}{y^5})?$

Option 1: – 62757

Option 2: – 62748

Option 3: – 62739

Option 4: – 59049

Team Careers360 22nd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: – 62739


Solution : $(y-\frac{1}{y})=-9$
Squaring on both sides,
⇒ $(y-\frac{1}{y})^2=(-9)^2$
⇒ $y^2+\frac{1}{y^2}-2×y×\frac{1}{y}=(-9)^2$
⇒ $y^2+\frac{1}{y^2}= 81+2= 83$
Squaring on both sides,
$(y^2+\frac{1}{y^2})^2$ = $83^2$
⇒ $y^4+\frac{1}{y^4}+2 = 6889$
⇒ $y^4+\frac{1}{y^4} = 6887$
⇒ $(y-\frac{1}{y})(y^4+\frac{1}{y^4})$ = $(y^5-\frac{1}{y^5}-y^3+\frac{1}{y^3})$
⇒ $-9×6887 = (y^5-\frac{1}{y^5}-(y^3-\frac{1}{y^3}))$
⇒ $-9×6887 = [y^5-\frac{1}{y^5}-(y-\frac{1}{y})(y^2+\frac{1}{y^2}+y×\frac{1}{y})]$
⇒ $-61983 = [y^5-\frac{1}{y^5}-(-9)(83+1)]$

Question : Directions: The bar graph shows the marks obtained by a student in an examination out of 100 marks in each subject. Study the graph and answer the questions.

The ratio of the marks in maths and History is:

Option 1: 6 : 5

Option 2: 8 : 5

Option 3: 3 : 4

Option 4: 4 : 3

Team Careers360 24th Jan, 2024

Marks obtained in Maths = 80
Marks obtained in History = 60
The ratio of marks obtained in Maths to that of History = 80 : 60 = 4 : 3
Hence, the correct answer is 4

Question : Let ABC be an equilateral triangle and AD perpendicular to BC, Then AB2 + BC2 + CA2 =?

Option 1: 2AD2

Option 2: 3AD2

Option 3: 4AD2

Option 4: 5AD2

Team Careers360 24th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 4AD2


Solution :
Here ABC is an equilateral triangle with side length $a$ and AD $\perp$ BC.
So, BD = CD = $\frac{a}{2}$
In $\triangle$ABD, AB2 = BD2 + AD2
⇒ $a^2=(\frac{a}{2})^2+$ AD2
$\therefore$ AD = $\frac{\sqrt3}{2}a$ = $\frac{\sqrt3}{2}$AB = $\frac{\sqrt3}{2}$BC = $\frac{\sqrt3}{2}$AC

Question : The measure of each interior angle of a regular polygon with 8 sides is:

Option 1: $135^{\circ}$

Option 2: $120^{\circ}$

Option 3: $100^{\circ}$

Option 4: $45^{\circ}$

Team Careers360 24th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $135^{\circ}$


Solution : Number of sides, $n$ = 8
Each interior angle of an octagon = $(\frac{2n-4}{n})×90^{\circ}$
= $(\frac{2×8-4}{8})×90^{\circ}$
= $(\frac{16-4}{8})×90^{\circ}$
= $\frac{12}{8}×90^{\circ}$
= $3 × 45^{\circ}$
= $135^{\circ}$
Hence, the correct answer is $135^{\circ}$.
