Question : If $x^{2}+y^{2}+6x+5=4(x-y)$, then $(x-y)$ is:

Option 1: $1$

Option 2: $0$

Option 3: $–1$

Option 4: $4$

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $1$


Solution : Given: $x^{2}+y^{2}+6x+5=4(x-y)$
⇒ $x^{2}+y^{2}+6x+5-4x+4y=0$
⇒ $x^{2}+y^{2}+2x+5+4y=0$
⇒ $x^{2}+2x+1+y^{2}+4y+4=0$
⇒ $x^{2}+2×x×1+1+y^{2}+2×y×2+4=0$
⇒ $(x+1)^{2}+(y+2)^{2}=0$
⇒ $x$ = – 1 and $y$ = – 2 [If the sum of two square terms is zero, then each term will also be zero]
So, $(x-y) = (–1–( –2))=1$
Hence, the

Question : If successive discounts of 5%, 10%, and p% are equivalent to a single discount of 31.6%, the value of p is:

Option 1: 15

Option 2: 25

Option 3: 20

Option 4: 30

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 20


Solution : Single equivalent discount = $(a+b–\frac{a×b}{100})\%$, where $a$% and $b$% are two successive discounts.
Single discount of 5% and 10% $= 5 + 10 - \frac{(50)}{100}=14.5$
Now, single discount of 14.5% and $p$% $= 14.5 + p - \frac{(14.5p)}{100}$
According to the question,
$14.5 + p

Question : If $2p + q = 19$ and $8p^3+q^3=361$, then find the value of $pq$.

Option 1: 56

Option 2: 59

Option 3: 58

Option 4: 57

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 57


Solution : Given, $2\text{p} + \text{q} = 19$ and $\text{8p}^3 + \text{q}^3 = 361$
We have to find the value of pq
Consider $2\text{p} + \text{q} = 19$
Cubing both sides,
⇒ $\text{(2p+q)}^3 = \text{19}^3$
⇒ $(\text{2p})^3 + \text{q}^3 + \text{3(2p)(q)(2p+q)} = 6859$
⇒ $\text{8p}^3 + \text{q}^3
