Question : If $x, y,$ and $z$ are three sums of money such that y is the simple interest on $x$ and $z$ is the simple interest on $y$ for the same time and at the same rate of interest, then we have:

Option 1: $z^{2}=xy$

Option 2: $xyz=1$

Option 3: $x^{2}=yz$

Option 4: $y^{2}=zx$

Team Careers360 5th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $y^{2}=zx$


Solution : Let the time be $t$ years and the rate of interest be $R$.
We know, Simple interest = $\frac{\text{Principal × Rate × Time}}{100}$
According to the question,
Case(I): $y=\frac{x\times R\times t}{100}$-------------(i)
Case(II): $z=\frac{y\times R\times t}{100}$------------(ii)
By dividing equation (i) by equation (ii), we get,
$\frac{y}{z}=\frac{x\times

Question : If $x>1$ and $x+\frac{1}{x}=2\frac{1}{12}$, then the value of $x^{4}-\frac{1}{x^{4}}$ is:

Option 1: $\frac{58975}{20736}$

Option 2: $\frac{59825}{20736}$

Option 3: $\frac{57985}{20736}$

Option 4: $\frac{57895}{20736}$

Team Careers360 20th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\frac{58975}{20736}$


Solution : Given that: $x+\frac{1}{x}=\frac{25}{12}$
⇒ $12(x^2+1)=25x$
⇒ $12x^2-25x+12=0$
⇒ $12x^2-25x+12=0$
⇒ $12x^2-16x-9x+12=0$
⇒ $(4x-3)(3x-4)=0$
⇒ $x=\frac{4}3$ since $x>1$
$\therefore x^4-\left(\frac{1}{x}\right)^4$
Substituting the values,
$x^4-\left(\frac{1}{x}\right)^4= (\frac{4}3)^4-(\frac{3}4)^4$
$= \frac{256}{81}-\frac{81}{256}$
$= \frac{58975}{20736}$
Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{58975}{20736}$.

Question : If $\small x=a\left (b-c \right),\; y=b\left (c-a \right) ,\; z=c\left (a-b \right)$, then the value of $\left (\frac{x}{a} \right)^{3}+\left (\frac{y}{b} \right)^{3}+\left (\frac{z}{c} \right)^{3}$ is:

Option 1: $\frac{2xyz}{abc}$

Option 2: $\frac{xyz}{abc}$

Option 3: $0$

Option 4: $\frac{3xyz}{abc}$

Team Careers360 6th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\frac{3xyz}{abc}$


Solution : Given: $x=a\left (b-c \right),\; y=b\left (c-a \right) ,\; z=c\left (a-b \right)$
$\left (\frac{x}{a} \right )^{3}+\left (\frac{y}{b} \right )^{3}+\left (\frac{z}{c} \right)^{3}$
= $ (b-c)^3+(c-a)^3+(a-b)^3$
Since $\left (\frac{x}{a} \right )+\left (\frac{y}{b} \right )+\left (\frac{z}{c} \right)$
= $ (b-c)+(c-a)+(a-b)=0$
Use identity: $x^3+y^3+z^3=3xyz$ if $x+y+z=0$
So, $\left (\frac{x}{a} \right
