Option 1: 70

Option 2: 50

Option 3: 40

Option 4: 80

Team Careers360 24th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 50


Solution : The relation between men and the number of days is given by:
 $M_1D_1= M_2D_2$
Where $M_1$ and $M_2$ are men and $D_1$ and $D_2$ are days.
According to the question,
$25 × 140 = 70 × M_{2}$
$⇒ M_{2} = \frac{(25×140)}{70}$

Question : Find the value of $\frac{(243)^{\frac{n}{5}}\times 3^{2n+1}}{9^{n}\times 3^{n-1}}$.

Option 1: 3

Option 2: 9

Option 3: 27

Option 4: 4

Team Careers360 10th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 9


Solution : Consider, $\frac{(243)^{\frac{n}{5}}\times 3^{2n+1}}{9^{n}\times 3^{n-1}}$
$=\frac{((3)^5)^{\frac{n}{5}}\times 3^{2n+1}}{((3)^2)^{n}\times 3^{n-1}}$
$=\frac{3^n\times3^{2n+1}}{3^{2n}\times3^{n-1}}$
$=\frac{3^{n+2n+1}}{3^{2n+n-1}}$
$=\frac{3^{3n}\times 3}{3^{3n}\times3^{-1}}$
$=3 \times 3$
$=9$
Hence, the correct answer is 9.

Question : An example of an equality relation of two expressions in $x$. Which is not an identity, is:

Option 1: $(x+3)^{2}=x^{2}+6x+9$

Option 2: $(x+2y)^{3}=x^{3}+8y^{3}+6xy(x+2y)$

Option 3: $(x+2)^{2}=x^{2}+2x+4$

Option 4: $(x+3)(x–3)=x^{2}–9$

Team Careers360 7th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $(x+2)^{2}=x^{2}+2x+4$


Solution : Given: $(x+3)^{2}=x^{2}+6x+9$
⇒ $(x^{2}+9+6x)=x^{2}+6x+9$
Similarly, $(x+2y)^{3}=x^{3}+8y^{3}+6xy(x+2y)$
⇒ $x^{3}+8y^{3}+6xy(x+2y)=x^{3}+8y^{3}+6xy(x+2y)$
Similarly, $(x+3)(x–3)=x^{2}-9$
Similarly, $(x+2)^{2}=x^{2}+2x+4$
⇒ $(x^{2}+4+4x)=x^{2}+2x+4$
We can see this is not an identity.
Hence, the correct answer is '$(x+2)^{2}=x^{2}+2x+4$'.

Question : If $x^4+x^{-4}=194, x>0$, then the value of $x+\frac{1}{x}$ is:

Option 1: 14

Option 2: 6

Option 3: 4

Option 4: 8

Team Careers360 5th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 4


Solution : $x^4+\frac{1}{x^4}=194$
⇒ $(x^2+\frac{1}{x^2})^2-2=194$
⇒ $(x^2+\frac{1}{x^2})^2=196$
⇒ $x^2+\frac{1}{x^2}=14$
⇒ $(x+\frac{1}{x})^2-2=14$
⇒ $(x+\frac{1}{x})^2=16$
$\therefore$ $x+\frac{1}{x}=4$
Hence, the correct answer is 4.
