Option 1: 1

Option 2: 5

Option 3: 4

Option 4: 6

Team Careers360 22nd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 1


Solution : Using $(a^3+b^3)=(a+b)(a^2+b^2-ab)$
$\frac{(0.91)^3+(0.09)^3}{ [(0.91)^2-0.0819+(0.09)^2]}$
= $\frac{(0.91+0.09)[(0.91)^2-0.0819+(0.09)^2]}{ [(0.91)^2-0.0819+(0.09)^2]}$
= 0.91 + 0.09
= 1
Hence, the correct answer is 1.

Question : If $x^2+y^2=427$ and $xy=202$, then find the value of $\frac{x+y}{x-y}$.

Option 1: $\sqrt{\frac{835}{23}}$

Option 2: $\sqrt{\frac{830}{29}}$

Option 3: $\sqrt{\frac{831}{23}}$

Option 4: $\sqrt{\frac{830}{23}}$

Team Careers360 20th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\sqrt{\frac{831}{23}}$


Solution : Given: $x^2+y^2=427$ and $xy=202$.
Now, $(x+y)^2=x^2+y^2+2xy$
⇒ $(x+y)^2=427+2×202$
⇒ $(x+y)=\sqrt{831}$ ---------------------------------------(1)
Also, $(x-y)^2=x^2+y^2-2xy$
⇒ $(x-y)^2=427-2×202$
⇒ $(x-y)= \sqrt{23}$ ------------------------------------(2)
So, $\frac{x+y}{x-y}$
$= \frac{\sqrt{831}}{\sqrt{23}}$
$= \sqrt{\frac{831}{23}}$.
Hence, the correct answer is $\sqrt{\frac{831}{23}}$.
