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: $7 \sqrt{7}$

Team Careers360 16th Jan, 2024

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

Team Careers360 12th Jan, 2024

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

Team Careers360 15th Jan, 2024

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

Team Careers360 21st Jan, 2024

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 2: 2

Option 3: –1

Option 4: 3

Team Careers360 11th Jan, 2024

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%

Team Careers360 23rd Jan, 2024

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%
