Question : If $x^2-\sqrt{7} x+1=0$, then $\left(x^3+x^{-3}\right)=?$
Option 1: $4 \sqrt{7}$
Option 2: $3 \sqrt{7}$
Option 3: $10 \sqrt{7}$
Option 4: $7 \sqrt{7}$
Correct Answer: $4 \sqrt{7}$
Solution : Given: $x^2-\sqrt{7} x+1=0$ Dividing both sides by $x$, we get: ⇒ $x-\sqrt{7}+\frac{1}{x}=0$ ⇒ $x+\frac{1}{x}=\sqrt{7}$ Cubing both sides, we get: ⇒ $(x+\frac{1}{x})^3=(\sqrt{7})^3$ ⇒ $x^3+\frac{1}{x^3}+3(x\times\frac{1}{x})(x+\frac{1}{x})=(\sqrt{7})^3$ ⇒ $x^3+\frac{1}{x^3}+3\times\sqrt7=7\sqrt{7}$ ⇒ $x^3+\frac{1}{x^3}=4\sqrt{7}$ Hence, the correct answer is $4\sqrt{7}$.
Question : Directions: In the following question, find the odd number pair from the given alternatives.
Option 1: 36 – 145
Option 2: 16 – 63
Option 3: 91 – 363
Option 4: 64 – 255
Correct Answer: 36 – 145
Solution : Let's check the options – First option: 36 – 145; 36 x 4 = 144 – 1 = 143 ≠ 145 Second option: 16 – 63; 16 x 4 = 64 – 1 = 63 Third option: 91 – 363; 91 x 4
Question : Nikunj goes 4 kilometres against the current of a stream in 1 hour, and 2 kilometres along the current in 15 minutes. How long will it take him to go 7 kilometres in stationary water?
Option 1: 1 hour 15 minutes
Option 2: 1 hour 20 minutes
Option 3: 1 hour 10 minutes
Option 4: 1 hour 5 minutes
Correct Answer: 1 hour 10 minutes
Solution : Let the speed of Nikunj in still water as V (in km/h), and the speed of the stream as S (in km/h). When Nikunj goes against the current, his effective speed ⇒ V − S = $\frac{4}{1}$ = 4 km/h When he
Question : if $x+\frac{1}{x}=2$, then the value of $x^4+\frac{1}{x^4}$=__________.
Option 1: 0
Option 2: 2
Option 3: –1
Option 4: 1
Correct Answer: 2
Solution : Given: $x+\frac{1}{x}=2$ Squaring both sides, we get ⇒ $(x+\frac{1}{x})^2=2^2$ ⇒ $x^2+\frac{1}{x^2}+2\times x\times\frac{1}{x}=4$ ⇒ $x^2+\frac{1}{x^2}=4-2$ ⇒ $x^2+\frac{1}{x^2}=2$ Again squaring both sides, we get: ⇒ $(x^2+\frac{1}{x^2})^2=2^2$ ⇒ $x^4+\frac{1}{x^4}+2\times x^2\times\frac{1}{x^2}=4$ ⇒ $x^4+\frac{1}{x^4}=4-2$ ⇒ $x^4+\frac{1}{x^4}=2$ Hence, the correct answer is 2.

Question : The value of $\frac{a^2-(b-c)^2}{(a+c)^2-b^2}+\frac{b^2-(a-c)^2}{(a+b)^2-c^2}+\frac{c^2-(a-b)^2}{(b+c)^2-a^2}$ is:
Option 1: 1
Option 4: 3
Correct Answer: 1
Solution : $\frac{a^2-(b-c)^2}{(a+c)^2-b^2}+\frac{b^2-(a-c)^2}{(a+b)^2-c^2}+\frac{c^2-(a-b)^2}{(b+c)^2-a^2}$ = $\frac{(a-b+c)(a+b-c)}{(a+c-b)(a+c+b)} + \frac{(b-a+c)(b+a-c)}{(a+b-c)(a+b+c)} + \frac{(c-a+b)(c+a-b)}{(b+c-a)(b+c+a)}$ = $\frac{(a+b-c)}{(a+c+b)} + \frac{(b-a+c)}{(a+b+c)} + \frac{(c+a-b)}{(b+c+a)}$ = $\frac{a+b-c+b-a+c+c+a-b}{a+b+c}$ = $\frac{a+b+c}{a+b+c}$ = $1$ Hence, the correct answer is 1.

Question : The following pie chart shows the percentage expenditure of a country on different heads. The total expenditure is 1,680(in billions). Study the chart and answer the question.
The amount of expenditure on Defence is what percentage more than the expenditure on Education?
Option 1: 50%
Option 2: 125%
Option 3: 150%
Option 4: 100%
Correct Answer: 100%
Solution : Total expenditure is 1,680(in billions) Amount of expenditure on Defence = 12% of 1680 = 0.12 × 1680 = 201.6 Amount of expenditure on Education = 6% of 1680 = 0.06 × 1680 = 100.8 Required percentage = $\frac{201.6-100.8}{100.8} × 100 $ = 100% Hence,
