Question : If $8 a^3+27 b^3=16$ and $2 a+3 b=4$, then find the value of $16 a^4+81 b^4$.

Option 1: 26

Option 2: 30

Option 3: 28

Option 4: 32

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 32


Solution : Given, $8 a^3+27 b^3=16$ and $2 a+3 b=4$
Consider $8 a^3+27 b^3=16$
⇒ $(2a)^3+(3b)^3=16$
⇒ $(2a+3b)(4a^2-6ab+9b^2)=16$
⇒ $(4)(4a^2-6ab+9b^2)=16$
⇒ $4a^2-6ab+9b^2=4$ ......(1)
Now, consider $2a+3b=4$
Squaring both sides, we get,
⇒ $(2a+3b)^2=4^2$
⇒ $4a^2+12ab+9b^2=16$ ......(2)
Solving (1) and (2), we get,
$18 ab=12$
⇒ $ab=\frac{2}{3}$
And,

Question : If the numbers $\sqrt[3]{9}, \sqrt[4]{20}$ and $\sqrt[6]{25}$ are arranged in ascending order, then the right arrangement is:

Option 1: $\sqrt[6]{25}<\sqrt[4]{20}< \sqrt[3]{9}$

Option 2: $\sqrt[3]{9}<\sqrt[4]{20}<\sqrt[6]{25}$

Option 3: $\sqrt[4]{20}<\sqrt[6]{25}<\sqrt[3]{9}$

Option 4: $\sqrt[6]{25}<\sqrt[3]{9}<\sqrt[4]{20}$

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\sqrt[6]{25}<\sqrt[3]{9}<\sqrt[4]{20}$


Solution : Given: The numbers are $\sqrt[3]{9}$, $\sqrt[4]{20}$, $\sqrt[6]{25}$.
LCM of 3, 4, and 6 = 12
$⇒ \sqrt[3]{9}=9^{\frac{1}{3}}=9^{\frac{4}{12}}=\sqrt[12]{6561}$
$⇒ \sqrt[4]{20}=20^{\frac{1}{4}}=20^{\frac{3}{12}}=\sqrt[12]{8000}$
$⇒ \sqrt[6]{25}=25^{\frac{1}{6}}=25^{\frac{2}{12}}=\sqrt[12]{625}$
By comparing these values, we get:
$\sqrt[12]{625}<\sqrt[12]{6561}<\sqrt[12]{8000}$
$⇒\sqrt[6]{25}<\sqrt[3]{9}<\sqrt[4]{20}$
Hence, the correct answer is $\sqrt[6]{25}<\sqrt[3]{9}<\sqrt[4]{20}$.

Option 1: 48%

Option 2: 32.4%

Option 3: 49.6%

Option 4: 45%

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 48%


Solution : The average production of fertilisers by country Z in 2017, 2018 and 2020
= $\frac{330+360+420}{3}$
= $\frac{1110}{3}$
= $370$
The average production of fertilisers by country X in 2018 and 2020
= $\frac{240+260}{2}$
= $\frac{500}{2}$
= $250$
Required percentage = $\frac{370-250}{250}\times100=\frac{120}{250}\times 100= 48\%$
