Option 1: 16

Option 2: 4

Option 3: – 6

Option 4: – 4

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 16


Solution : Given:
$(-\frac{1}{2}) \times (x-5) + 3 = -\frac{5}{2}$
⇒ $-\frac{1}{2}x + \frac{5}{2} + 3 = -\frac{5}{2}$
⇒ $-\frac{1}{2}x + \frac{11}{2} = -\frac{5}{2}$
⇒ $-\frac{1}{2}x = -\frac{16}{2}$
⇒ $x = 16$
Hence, the correct answer is 16.

Question : If $x+ \frac{1}{x} =\sqrt{13}$, then $\frac{3x}{{x}^{2} -1}$ equals to:

Option 1: $\sqrt[3]{13}$

Option 2: $\frac{\sqrt{13}}{3}$

Option 3: 1

Option 4: 3

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 1


Solution : Given:
$⇒x+ \frac{1}{x} =\sqrt{13}$
By squaring both sides,
$⇒({x}+ \frac{1}{x})^{2} =(\sqrt{13})^{2}$
$⇒{x}^{2}+ \frac{1}{x^{2}}+2×x×\frac{1}{x} =13$
$⇒{x}^{2}+ \frac{1}{x^{2}}=13-2 =11$ ---(1)
Also, $({x}- \frac{1}{x})^{2} ={x}^{2}+ \frac{1}{x^{2}}-2×x×\frac{1}{x}$
By using the value of equation (1), we get,
$⇒({x}- \frac{1}{x})^{2} = 11 - 2=9$
$⇒({x}- \frac{1}{x}) = \sqrt{9}=3$
Multiplying by $x$
