Question : Let $\sqrt[3]{a}=\sqrt[3]{26}+\sqrt[3]{7}+\sqrt[3]{63}$. Then:

Option 1: $a<729$ but $a>216$

Option 2: $a<216$

Option 3: $a>729$

Option 4: $a = 729$

Team Careers360 22nd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $a<729$ but $a>216$


Solution : $\sqrt[3]{a}=\sqrt[3]{26}+\sqrt[3]{7}+\sqrt[3]{63}$
As we know, $\sqrt[3]{26}< 3$, $\sqrt[3]{7}< 2$, and $\sqrt[3]{63}< 4$
So, $\sqrt[3]{a}=\sqrt[3]{26}+\sqrt[3]{7}+\sqrt[3]{63}$
⇒ $\sqrt[3]{a} < 3+2+4$
⇒ $\sqrt[3]{a}<9$
⇒ $a<729$
And,
$\sqrt[3]{a}=\sqrt[3]{26}+\sqrt[3]{7}+\sqrt[3]{63}$
⇒$\sqrt[3]{a}>2 + 1 + 3$
⇒ $a>216$
So, $a>216$
Hence, the correct answer is $a<729$ but $a>216$.

Question : If for non-zero $x,x^{2}-4x-1=0,$ then the value of $x^{2}+\frac{1}{x^{2}}$ is:

Option 1: 12

Option 2: 4

Option 3: 18

Option 4: 10

Team Careers360 23rd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 18


Solution : $x^{2}-4x-1=0$
Dividing with $x$,
$x-4- \frac{1}{x}=0$
⇒ $x- \frac{1}{x}=4$
Squaring on both sides,
⇒ $(x- \frac{1}{x})^2=4^2$
⇒ $x^{2}+\frac{1}{x^{2}}-2×x×\frac{1}{x} = 16$
⇒ $x^{2}+\frac{1}{x^{2}}= 16+2 = 18$
Hence, the correct answer is 18.
