Question : The value of $\frac{(x-y)^3+(y-z)^3+(z-x)^3}{\left(x^2-y^2\right)^3+\left(y^2-z^2\right)^3+\left(z^2-x^2\right)^3}$, where $x \neq y \neq z$, is:

Option 1: $0$

Option 2: $\frac{1}{(x+y+z)}$

Option 3: $\frac{1}{(x+y)(y+z)(z+x)}$

Option 4: $1$

Team Careers360 21st Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\frac{1}{(x+y)(y+z)(z+x)}$


Solution : Given:
$\frac{(x-y)^3+(y-z)^3+(z-x)^3}{\left(x^2-y^2\right)^3+\left(y^2-z^2\right)^3+\left(z^2-x^2\right)^3}$
= $\frac{3(x-y)(y-z)(z-x)}{3(x^2-y^2)(y^2-z^2)(z^2-x^2)}$ [since $(x-y)+(y-z)+(z-x)=0$]
= $\frac{(x-y)(y-z)(z-x)}{(x+y)(x-y)(y+z)(y-z)(z+x)(z-x)}$
= $\frac{1}{(x+y)(y+z)(z+x)}$
Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{1}{(x+y)(y+z)(z+x)}$.

Question : Out of the numbers 0.3, 0.03, 0.9, and 0.09, the number that is nearest to the value of $\sqrt{0.9}$ is:

Option 1: 0.3

Option 2: 0.03

Option 3: 0.9

Option 4: 0.09

Team Careers360 24th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 0.9


Solution : The value of $\sqrt{0.9}= \sqrt{\frac{9}{10}}$
= ${\frac{3}{\sqrt{10}}}$
= ${\frac{3\sqrt{10}}{10}}$
$\sqrt{10}$ is greater than 3 but less than 4.
So, 9 < 3$\sqrt{10}$ < 10
⇒ 0.9 < ${\frac{3\sqrt{10}}{10}}$ < 1
⇒ 0.9 < $\sqrt{0.9}$ < 1
Hence, the correct answer is 0.9.
