Question : If $a + b = 24$ and $8ab = 256$, then what is the value of $3 a^2+3 b^2?$

Option 1: 1536

Option 2: 1024

Option 3: 512

Option 4: 1636

Team Careers360 23rd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 1536


Solution : Given,
$a + b = 24$ and $8ab = 256$
⇒ $2ab=\frac{256}{4}=64$
We know, $(a+b)^2=a^2+b^2+2ab$
Consider $a + b = 24$
Squaring both sides,
⇒ $a^2+b^2+2ab=24^2$
⇒ $a^2+b^2+64=576$
⇒ $a^2+b^2=576-64$
⇒ $a^2+b^2=512$
⇒ $3a^2+3b^2=3\times 512$
⇒ $3a^2+3b^2=1536$
Hence, the correct answer is 1536.

Question : A shopkeeper marked a product 5% above the cost price and sold the product for INR 1890 by giving a discount of 10%. The cost price of the product is:

Option 1: INR 1,701

Option 2: INR 2,100

Option 3: INR 2,000

Option 4: INR 2,205

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: INR 2,000


Solution : Selling price = INR 1890
Discount = 10% of marked price
$\therefore$ Marked price = $\frac{100}{100-10}×1890=\frac{100}{90}×1890=$ INR 2100
The marked price is 5% above the cost price.
$\therefore$ Cost price = $\frac{100}{100+5}×2100=\frac{100}{105}×2100$ = INR 2000
Hence, the correct answer is INR 2000.
