Question : What is the value of $\left[\frac{12}{(\sqrt5+\sqrt3)}+\frac{18}{(\sqrt{5}-\sqrt3)}\right]$?
Option 1: $15(\sqrt5–\sqrt3)$
Option 2: $3(5\sqrt5+\sqrt3)$
Option 3: $15(\sqrt5+\sqrt3)$
Option 4: $3(3\sqrt5+\sqrt3)$
Correct Answer: $3(5\sqrt5+\sqrt3)$
Solution : Given: $\left[\frac{12}{(\sqrt5+\sqrt3)}+\frac{18}{(\sqrt{5}-\sqrt3)}\right]$ = $\frac{12\sqrt5-12\sqrt 3+18\sqrt5+18\sqrt 3}{(\sqrt5+\sqrt3)(\sqrt{5}-\sqrt3)}$ = $\frac{30\sqrt5+6\sqrt3}{5-3}$ = $\frac{6(5\sqrt5+\sqrt3)}{2}$ = $3(5\sqrt5+\sqrt3)$ Hence, the correct answer is $3(5\sqrt5+\sqrt3)$.
Question : If $x+y+z=1, \frac{1}{x}+\frac{1}{y}+\frac{1}{z}=1,$ and $xyz=-1$, then $x^3+y^3+z^3 $ is equal to:
Option 1: –1
Option 2: 1
Option 3: –2
Option 4: 2
Correct Answer: 1
Solution : Given: $x+y+z=1,\frac{1}{x}+\frac{1}{y}+\frac{1}{z}=1$, $xyz=-1$ Consider, $\frac{1}{x}+\frac{1}{y}+\frac{1}{z}=1$ ⇒ $xy+yz+zx=xyz=-1$ Now, $x+y+z=1$ ⇒ $(x+y+z)^2=1^2$ ⇒ $x^2+y^2+z^2+2(xy+yz+zx)=1$ ⇒ $x^2+y^2+z^2+2(-1)=1$ ⇒ $x^2+y^2+z^2=3$ We know, $x^3+y^3+z^3-3xyz=(x+y+z)(x^2+y^2+z^2-(xy+yz+zx)$ So, putting all the values, we get, ⇒ $x^3+y^3+z^3-3×(-1)=1×[3-(-1)]$ ⇒ $x^3+y^3+z^3=4-3$ $\therefore x^3+y^3+z^3=1$ Hence, the correct answer is 1.
Question : What is the simplified value of $\frac{(x+y+z)(x y+y z+z x)–x y z}{(x+y)(y+z)(z+x)}$?
Option 1: $y$
Option 2: $z$
Option 3: $1$
Option 4: $x$
Correct Answer: $1$
Solution : Given: The expression is $\frac{(x+y+z)(x y+y z+z x)–x y z}{(x+y)(y+z)(z+x)}$. $\frac{(x+y+z)(x y+y z+z x)–x y z}{(x+y)(y+z)(z+x)}$ Substitute the value of $x=y=z=1$, in the given expression, we get, = $\frac{(1+1+1)(1\times1+1\times 1+1\times 1)–1\times1\times1}{(1+1)(1+1)(1+1)}$ = $\frac{3\times 3–1}{2\times 2\times 2}=\frac{9–1}{8}$ = $\frac{8}{8}$ = $1$ Hence, the correct answer is

Question : Directions: Which figure should replace the question mark (?) if the series were to be continued?
Option 1:
Option 2:
Option 3:
Option 4:
Correct Answer:
Solution : In the given figure, follow the directions to find the next term –
Hence, the first option is correct.
Question : Direction: A word is represented by only one set of numbers as given in any one of the alternatives. The sets of numbers given in the alternatives are represented by two classes of alphabets as in the two matrices, given below. The columns and rows of Matrix (I) are numbered from 0 to 4 and that of Matrix (II) are numbered from 5 to 9. A letter from these matrices can be represented first by its row and next by its column, e.g. 'S' can be represented by 14,23, etc., and 'E' can be represented by 56, 68, etc. Similarly, you have to identify the set for the word.
'CURE'
Option 1: 04, 57, 10, 88
Option 2: 31, 21, 56, 85
Option 3: 88, 57, 10, 85
Option 4: 04, 21, 55, 86
Correct Answer: 88, 57, 10, 85
Solution : Given: CURE
Number representations of each letter: C → 31, 04, 88 U → 21, 57 R → 10, 55, 98 E → 02, 22, 43, 85, 56, 68
First option: 04, 57, 10, 88 E cannot be represented by 88.
Question : Sentences of a paragraph are given below in jumbled order. Arrange the sentences in the correct order to form a meaningful and coherent paragraph. A. The other half had been sued at least twice, and Levinson found that just on the basis of those conversations, she could find clear differences between the two groups. B. Recently the medical researcher Wendy Levinson recorded hundreds of conversations between a group of physicians and their patients. C. The surgeons who had never been sued spent more than three minutes longer with each patient than those who had been sued did. D. Roughly half of the doctors had never been sued.
Option 1: BDAC
Option 2: CABD
Option 3: ABCD
Option 4: BCAD
Correct Answer: BDAC
Solution : The correct choice is the first option.
The first sentence should be B since it introduces the topic of medical researcher Wendy Levinson. Sentence D is also supporting sentence B by providing background information on the topic, so it should come next.
Sentence A
