Question : If $a=\frac{b^{2}}{b–a}$, the value of $a^{3}+b^{3}$ is:

Option 1: $6ab$

Option 2: 0

Option 3: 1

Option 4: 2

Team Careers360 5th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 0


Solution : Given: $a=\frac{b^{2}}{b–a}$
⇒ $ab–a^{2}=b^{2}$
$\therefore a^{2}+b^{2}–ab=0$
We know that $a^{3}+b^{3}=(a+b)(a^{2}+b^{2}–ab)$
$\therefore a^{3}+b^{3}=0$
Hence, the correct answer is 0.

Question : If $\left(x-\frac{1}{x}\right) =4$, then what is the value of $\left(x^6+\frac{1}{x^6}\right)$?

Option 1: 4689

Option 2: 4786

Option 3: 5832

Option 4: 5778

Team Careers360 9th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 5778


Solution : Given: $x-\frac{1}{x}=4$
Squaring both sides,
⇒ $x^2+\frac{1}{x^2} - 2 = 16$
⇒ $x^2+\frac{1}{x^2} = 18$
Now cubing both sides,
$(x^2+\frac{1}{x^2})^3 = 18^3$
⇒ $x^6+\frac{1}{x^6}+3×x^2×\frac{1}{x^2}(x^2+\frac{1}{x^2}) = 5832$
⇒ $x^6+\frac{1}{x^6}+3(18) = 5832$
⇒ $x^6+\frac{1}{x^6} = 5832-54 = 5778$
Hence, the correct answer is 5778.

Option 1: 1 year

Option 2: 2 years

Option 3: 4 years

Option 4: 3 years

Team Careers360 23rd Jan, 2024
