Question : If $2 x+5 y=15$ and $x y=6$, then the value of $4 x^2+25 y^2$ is:

Option 1: 105

Option 2: 95

Option 3: 100

Option 4: 90

Team Careers360 20th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 105


Solution : Given, $2 x+5 y=15$ and $x y=6$
Consider, $2x+5y=15$
Squaring both sides, we get,
⇒ $(2x+5y)^2=15^2$
⇒ $4x^2 + 25y^2 + 20xy = 225$
⇒ $4x^2+25y^2+20×(6)=225$
⇒ $4x^2+25y^2=225-120$
⇒ $4x^2+25y^2 = 105$
Hence, the correct answer is 105.

Question : The compound interest accrued on a sum of INR 20,000 at the end of 2 years compounded annually is INR 2,050. Find the compound interest at the end of the 3rd year.

Option 1: INR 3,153.50

Option 2: INR 2852.50

Option 3: INR 3,152.50

Option 4: INR 3,154.50

Team Careers360 19th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: INR 3,152.50


Solution : Principal = INR 20000
Time = 2 years
$\text{Compound interest}= \text{Total amount – Principal}$
$⇒\text{Compound interest}=\text{Principal}×(1+\frac{\text{Rate}}{100})^{\text{Time}}-\text{Principal}$
$⇒2050=20000((1+\frac{\text{Rate}}{100})^2-20000$
$⇒22050=20000((1+\frac{\text{Rate}}{100})^2$
$⇒(1+\frac{\text{Rate}}{100})^2=\frac{22050}{20000}=\frac{441}{400}$
$⇒(1+\frac{\text{Rate}}{100})^2=(\frac{21}{20})^2$
$⇒1+\frac{\text{Rate}}{100}=\frac{21}{20}$
$\therefore \text{Rate}=5$%
Now, the total amount after 3 years with a 5% compound interest on a sum of INR 20000
$=20000(1+\frac{5}{100})^3$
$=20000(\frac{21}{20})^3$
$=20000×\frac{441}{400}×\frac{21}{20}$

Question : The average of all the odd integers between 2 and 22 is:

Option 1: 14

Option 2: 12

Option 3: 13

Option 4: 11

Team Careers360 13th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 12


Solution : The odd integers between 2 and 22 are 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, 19, and 21.
$\therefore$ Required average $=\frac{3 + 5 + 7 + 9 + 11 + 13 + 15 + 17 + 19 + 21}{10}=\frac{120}{10}=12$
Hence, the correct answer

Question : If $x^2-\sqrt{9.76} x+1=0$ and $x>1$, then the value of $\left(x^3-\frac{1}{x^3}\right)$ is:

Option 1: 21.042

Option 2: 24.024

Option 3: 21.024

Option 4: 24.042

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 21.024


Solution : Given, $x^2-\sqrt{9.76} x+1=0$
Dividing by $x$, we get,
$⇒x-\sqrt{9.76} +\frac{1}{x}=0$
$⇒x +\frac{1}{x}=\sqrt{9.76}$
Squaring both sides, we get,
$⇒x^2+\frac{1}{x^2}+2×x×\frac{1}{x}=9.76$
Subtracting 4 from both sides, we get,
$⇒x^2+\frac{1}{x^2}-2=9.76-4$
$⇒(x -\frac{1}{x})^2=5.76$
$⇒(x -\frac{1}{x})=\sqrt{5.76}$
Cubing both sides, we get,
$⇒ x^3-\frac{1}{x^3}-3×x×\frac{1}{x}(x-\frac{1}{x})=5.76×\sqrt{5.76}$
$⇒ x^3-\frac{1}{x^3}-3×\sqrt{5.76}=5.76×\sqrt{5.76}$
$⇒ x^3-\frac{1}{x^3}=5.76×\sqrt{5.76}+3×\sqrt{5.76}$
$⇒ x^3-\frac{1}{x^3}=8.76×\sqrt{\frac{576}{100}}=8.76×\frac{24}{10}=21.024$
Hence, the
