Question : In a 1 km race P completes the race in 120 seconds and Q in 125 seconds. The distance by which P beats Q is:

Option 1: 40 metres

Option 2: 80 metres

Option 3: 20 metres

Option 4: 60 metres

Team Careers360 24th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 40 metres


Solution : Speed of P = $\frac{1 \;km}{120\;sec}$
= $\frac{1000}{120}$ m/s
= 8.33 m/s
Speed of Q = $\frac{1 \;km}{125 \;sec}$
= $\frac{1000}{125}$ m/s
= 8 m/s
Distance covered by Q in 120 seconds = 8 × 120 = 960
P beat Q by (1000 –

Question : If $y+\frac{1}{y}=3$, then what is the value of $\frac{1}{y^3}+y^3 ?$

Option 1: 12

Option 2: 27

Option 3: 24

Option 4: 18

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 18


Solution : Use: Use the following formula to solve the question:
$(y+\frac{1}{y})^3=y^3+\frac{1}{y^3}+3(y+\frac{1}{y})$
⇒ $y^3+\frac{1}{y^3}=(y+\frac{1}{y})^3-3(y+\frac{1}{y})$
⇒ $y^3+\frac{1}{y^3}=3^3-3×3$
⇒ $\frac{1}{y^3}+y^3 = 18$
Hence, the correct answer is 18.

Question : An article is sold at a gain of 15%. Had it been sold for Rs. 27 more, the profit would have been 20%. The cost price of the article is:

Option 1: Rs. 500

Option 2: Rs. 700

Option 3: Rs. 540

Option 4: Rs. 545

Team Careers360 20th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Rs. 540


Solution : Let the cost price of the article be $x$.
An article is sold at a gain of 15%.
So, selling price of the article = $\frac{115}{100}×x$
Had it been sold for Rs. 27 more, then the selling price would be, $\frac{115}{100}×x+27$
If the profit

Question : If $\left(x+\frac{1}{x}\right)=5 \sqrt{2}$, and $x>1$, what is the value of $\left(x^6-\frac{1}{x^6}\right) ?$

Option 1: $22970 \sqrt{23}$

Option 2: $23030 \sqrt{23}$

Option 3: $23060 \sqrt{23}$

Option 4: $22960 \sqrt{23}$

Team Careers360 17th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $23030 \sqrt{23}$


Solution : Given, $\left(x+\frac{1}{x}\right)=5 \sqrt{2}$
Squaring both sides, we get,
$\left(x+\frac{1}{x}\right)^2=(5 \sqrt{2})^2$
⇒ $x^2+\frac{1}{x^2}+2\times x\times \frac{1}{x}=25\times 2$
⇒ $x^2+\frac{1}{x^2}+2=50$
⇒ $x^2+\frac{1}{x^2}=50-2$
⇒ $x^2+\frac{1}{x^2}=48$
Subtracting 2 from both sides, we get,
⇒ $(x-\frac{1}{x})^2=48-2$
⇒ $(x-\frac{1}{x})^2=46$
⇒ $(x-\frac{1}{x})=\sqrt{46}$
Now consider, $\left(x^6-\frac{1}{x^6}\right)$
We know, $a^2-b^2=(a-b)(a+b)$
$=(x^3+\frac{1}{x^3})(x^3-\frac{1}{x^3})$
Also, $a^3+b^3=(a+b)(a^2-ab+b^2)$ and
