Question : If $a+b+c=0$, then the value of $\frac{a^2}{b c}+\frac{b^2}{c a}+\frac{c^2}{a b}$ is:

Option 1: 1

Option 2: 3

Option 3: - 1

Option 4: 0

Team Careers360 8th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 3


Solution : $a+b+c=0$
$a^3+b^3+c^3 - 3abc = (a+b+c)(a^2+b^2+c^2-ab-bc-ca)$
⇒ $a^3+b^3+c^3 - 3abc = 0$
⇒ $a^3+b^3+c^3 = 3abc$
⇒ $\frac{a^3+b^3+c^3}{abc} = 3$
⇒ $\frac{a^2}{bc} + \frac{b^2}{ac} + \frac{c^2}{ab} = 3$
Hence, the correct answer is 3.

Question : If $x^4+\frac{1}{x^4}=1154$, where $x>0$, then what is the value of $x^3+\frac{1}{x^3}?$

Option 1: 205

Option 2: 214

Option 3: 185

Option 4: 198

Team Careers360 10th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 198


Solution : Given,
$x^4+\frac{1}{x^4}=1154$
Adding 2 on both sides,
$x^4+\frac1{x^4}+2=1154+2$
⇒ $(x^2)^2+(\frac1{x^2})^2+2\times x^2\times\frac1{x^2}=1156$
We know, $a^2+b^2+2ab=(a+b)^2$
⇒ $(x^2+\frac{1}{x^2})^2=1156$
⇒ $x^2+\frac{1}{x^2}=\sqrt{1156}$
⇒ $x^2+\frac{1}{x^2}=34$
Again, adding 2 on both sides,
⇒ $x^2+\frac{1}{x^2}+2=34+2$
⇒ $(x+\frac{1}{x})^2=36$
⇒ $x+\frac{1}{x}=6$
We know, $a^3+b^3=(a+b)(a^2-ab+b^2)$
⇒ $x^3+\frac{1}{x^3}=(x+\frac1x)(x^2-x\times\frac1x+\frac1{x^2})$
$= (x+\frac1x)(x^2+\frac1{x^2}-1)$
$= 6 × (34 – 1)
