Question : The sum of three consecutive natural numbers divisible by 3 is 45. The smallest number is:
Option 1: 18
Option 2: 3
Option 3: 12
Option 4: 9
Correct Answer: 12
Solution : Let the three consecutive numbers divisible by 3 be (x – 3), x, and (x + 3). According to the question, (x – 3) + x + (x + 3) = 45 ⇒ 3x = 45 ⇒ 3x = 45 ⇒ x = $\frac{45}{3}$ =
Question : If for a non-zero $x$, $3x^{2}+5x+3=0,$ then the value of $x^{3}+\frac{1}{x^{3}}$ is:
Option 1: $\frac{10}{27}$
Option 2: $-\frac{10}{27}$
Option 3: $\frac{2}{3}$
Option 4: $-\frac{2}{3}$
Correct Answer: $\frac{10}{27}$
Solution : Given: $3x^{2}+5x+3=0$ $3x^2 + 3=-5x$ Dividing by $3x$ on both sides, $x+\frac{1}{x} = -\frac{5}{3}$ As $(a+b)^3 = a^3 + b^3 +3ab(a+b)$ $\therefore$ $x^3 + \frac{1}{x^3} = (\frac{-5}{3})^3 - 3\times \frac{-5}{3}$ = $\frac{-125}{27}+5$ = $\frac{–125+135}{27}=\frac{10}{27}$ Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{10}{27}$.
