Question : If $2x+\frac{2}{x}=3$, then the value of $x^{3}+\frac{1}{x^{3}}+2$ is:
Option 1: $\frac{3}{4}$
Option 2: $\frac{4}{5}$
Option 3: $\frac{5}{8}$
Option 4: $\frac{7}{8}$
Correct Answer: $\frac{7}{8}$
Solution : Given: $2x+\frac{2}{x}=3$ $2(x+\frac{1}{x})=3$ $(x+\frac{1}{x})=\frac{3}{2}$ Cubing both sides, we get: $(x+\frac{1}{x})^3=(\frac{3}{2})^3$ ⇒ $x^3+\frac{1}{x^3}+3×x×\frac{1}{x}(x+\frac{1}{x})=\frac{27}{8}$ ⇒ $x^3+\frac{1}{x^3}+3×\frac{3}{2}=\frac{27}{8}$ ⇒ $x^3+\frac{1}{x^3}=\frac{27}{8}–\frac{9}{2}$ ⇒ $x^3+\frac{1}{x^3}=–\frac{9}{8}$ To get the value of $x^{3}+\frac{1}{x^{3}}+2$, we need to add 2 both sides. Thus, $x^{3}+\frac{1}{x^{3}}+2 = –\frac{9}{8}+2$ $\therefore x^{3}+\frac{1}{x^{3}}+2 = \frac{7}{8}$ Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{7}{8}$.

Question : A thief steals an item and escapes, running at 20 km/hr. A policeman arrives at the spot of the crime after 6 minutes and immediately starts chasing the thief. 24 minutes after the policeman started to chase the thief, there is still a gap of 400 m between the two. At what distance from the spot of crime would the policeman catch up with the thief and what is the speed at which the policeman ran?
Option 1: 15 km; 25 km/hr
Option 2: 14.4 km; 24 km/hr
Option 3: 10 km; 25 km/hr
Option 4: 12 km; 24 km/hr
Correct Answer: 12 km; 24 km/hr
Solution : Speed of the thief = 20 km/hr Let the speed of the policeman be $x$ km/hr. Time after the policeman starts chasing the thief = 6 minutes Distance between them 30 minutes after the crime = 400 m = 0.4 km According

Question : A square of side $p$ is taken. A rectangle is cut out from this square such that the length of one side of the rectangle is equal to half of the length of one side of the square and the length of another side of the rectangle is equal to $\frac{1}{3}$rd of the length of the first side of the rectangle. What is the area of the portion of the square that remained after the rectangle was cut out?
Option 1: $\frac{7}{8} p^2$
Option 2: $\frac{3}{4} p^2$
Option 3: $\frac{11}{12} p^2$
Option 4: $\frac{15}{16} p^2$
Correct Answer: $\frac{11}{12} p^2$
Solution : Use the formula, The area of the rectangle = Length × Breadth The area of the square = Side2 According to the question, The length of the rectangle $=\frac{1}{2}\times p=\frac{p}{2}$ The breadth of the rectangle $=\frac{1}{3}\times \frac{p}{2}=\frac{p}{6}$ The area of the rectangle $=\frac{p}{2}
Question : A train travelling at 80 km/hr crosses another train travelling in the same direction at 26 km/hr in 30 seconds. What is the combined length of both the trains?
Option 1: 400 m
Option 2: 450 m
Option 3: 550 m
Option 4: 350 m
Correct Answer: 450 m
Solution : Relative speed of the trains = 80 – 26 = 54 km/hr = $54×\frac{5}{18}$ =15 m/s Time taken = 30 s Distance = 15 × 30 = 450 m So the combined length of both trains = 450 m Hence, the correct answer is
