Question : If $x^4+\frac{16}{x^4}=15617, x>0$, then find the value of $x+\frac{2}{x}$.

Option 1: $\sqrt{121}$

Option 2: $\sqrt{129}$

Option 3: $\sqrt{123}$

Option 4: $\sqrt{127}$

Team Careers360 16th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\sqrt{129}$


Solution : Given: $x^4+\frac{16}{x^4}=15617$
⇒ $(x^2)^2 + (\frac{4}{x^2})^2 + 2\times x^2 \times \frac{4}{x^2} = 15617 + 2\times x^2 \times \frac{4}{x^2}$
⇒ $(x^2+\frac{4}{x^2})^2 = 15625$
⇒ $x^2 + \frac{4}{x^2} = 125$
⇒ $x^2 + (\frac{2}{x})^2 + 2\times x \times \frac{2}{x} = 125 + 2\times x\times \frac{2}{x}$
⇒ $(x+\frac{2}{x})^2

Question : Given: $(a-b)=2, (a^{3}-b^{3})=26$, then $(a+b)^{2}$ is:

Option 1: 9

Option 2: 4

Option 3: 16

Option 4: 12

Team Careers360 20th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 16


Solution : $a−b = 2$
$a^3-b^3=26$
⇒ $a^3-b^3$ = $(a−b)$$(a^2+ab+b^2)$
⇒ $26= 2\times (a^2+ab+b^2)$
⇒ $13 =(a^2+ab+b^2) $.........(i)
⇒ $(a−b)^2 = a^2+b^2-2ab$
⇒ $(2)^2 = a^2+b^2+ab−3ab$
Putting the value from equation (i)
⇒ $4 = 13−3ab$
⇒ $3ab = 9$
⇒ $ab =3$
$(a+b)^2 = (a−b)^2+4ab =

Question : The slant height and radius of a right circular cone are in the ratio 29 : 20. If its volume is $4838.4 \pi ~\mathrm{cm}^3$, then its radius is:

Option 1: 28 cm

Option 2: 20 cm

Option 3: 25 cm

Option 4: 24 cm

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 24 cm


Solution : The ratio of slant height and radius = 29 : 20
Let slant height($l$) be $29x$ and radius($r$) be $20x$.
Height, $h = \sqrt{l^2-r^2} = \sqrt{(29x)^2-(20x)^2} = \sqrt{(841-400)x^2}= \sqrt{441x^2} = 21x$
Volume of cone = $4838.4 \pi$
⇒ $\frac{1}{3} \pi r^2 h = 4838.4
