Question : If $a=12, b=-7$ and $c=-5$, then what is the value of $a^3+b^3+c^3$?

Option 1: 1260

Option 2: 1125

Option 3: 1200

Option 4: 1380

Team Careers360 10th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 1260


Solution : Given: $a=12, b=-7,$ and $c=-5$
$a^3= 12^3 = 1728$
$b^3=-7^3=-343$
$c^3=-5^3=-125$
$\therefore a^3+b^3+c^3=1728-343-125=1260$
Hence, the correct answer is 1260.

Question : Out of the numbers 0.3, 0.03, 0.9, and 0.09, the number that is nearest to the value of $\sqrt{0.9}$ is:

Option 1: 0.3

Option 2: 0.03

Option 3: 0.9

Option 4: 0.09

Team Careers360 24th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 0.9


Solution : The value of $\sqrt{0.9}= \sqrt{\frac{9}{10}}$
= ${\frac{3}{\sqrt{10}}}$
= ${\frac{3\sqrt{10}}{10}}$
$\sqrt{10}$ is greater than 3 but less than 4.
So, 9 < 3$\sqrt{10}$ < 10
⇒ 0.9 < ${\frac{3\sqrt{10}}{10}}$ < 1
⇒ 0.9 < $\sqrt{0.9}$ < 1
Hence, the correct answer is 0.9.

Question : A right pyramid stands on a square base of diagonal $10\sqrt2$ cm. If the height of the pyramid is 12 cm, the area (in cm2) of its slant surface is:

Option 1: 520 cm2

Option 2: 420 cm2

Option 3: 360 cm2

Option 4: 260 cm2

Team Careers360 11th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 260 cm2


Solution : Use the formulas:
Area of the slant surface = $\frac{1}{2}×p×l$
Perimeter, $p$ = $4a$
Slant height, $l$ = $\sqrt{(\frac{a}{2})^{2}+h^{2}}$
where $l$ = slant height, $h$ = height, $p$ = perimeter and $a$ = side of square base.
Diagonal of square base $= 10\sqrt2$
