Question : Simplify the expression $\frac{s^2+t^2+2 s t-u^2}{s^2-t^2-2 t u-u^2}$, provided $(s+t+u) \neq 0$.

Option 1: $\frac{s+t-u}{s-t-u}$

Option 2: $\frac{s+t+u}{s-t+u}$

Option 3: $\frac{s-t-u}{s+t-u}$

Option 4: $\frac{s-t+u}{s+t+u}$

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\frac{s+t-u}{s-t-u}$


Solution : Given:
$\frac{(s^2+t^2+2 s t)-u^2}{s^2-(t^2+2 t u+u^2)}$
We know $\small a^2+b^2 +2ab = (a+b)^2$ and $\small a^2+b^2-2ab = (a-b)^2$
So, $\frac{(s^2+t^2+2 s t)-u^2}{s^2-(t^2+2 t u+u^2)}=\frac{(s+t)^2 - u^2}{s^2 - (t+u)^2}$
$=\frac{(s+t+u)(s+t-u)}{(s+t+u)(s-t-u)}$ [using $\small a^2 - b^2 = (a+b)(a-b)$]
$=\frac{s+t-u}{s-t-u}$
Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{s+t-u}{s-t-u}$.

Question : Depression formed due to deflating action of winds are called

Option 1: Playas

Option 2: Yardang

Option 3: Ventifacts

Option 4: Sand dunes

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Yardang


Solution : The correct option is Yardang.

Yardangs are geological formations generated in dry or desert locations by the deflating effect of wind. They are the consequence of abrasive wind-blown particles selectively eroding soft or easily erodible sedimentary material. When prevailing winds erode weaker areas of the terrain repeatedly, they form elongated, parallel ridges and troughs, with the ridges formed of more resistant material. Yardangs, which are significant structures in desert landscapes of varied sizes and shapes, are often orientated in the direction of prevailing winds and provide unique insights into the erosional processes forming arid settings.

Question : The sum of the interior angles of a regular polygon A is 1260 degrees and each interior angle of a regular polygon B is $128 \frac{4}{7}$ degrees. The sum of the number of sides of polygons A and B is:

Option 1: 17

Option 2: 16

Option 3: 19

Option 4: 18

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 16


Solution : The sum of the interior angle Polygon A = 1260°
If the sides of the polygon A are nA.
⇒ (nA – 2) × 180° = 1260°
⇒ (nA – 2) = $\frac{1260°}{180°}$ = 7
⇒ nA = (7 + 2) = 9
Each interior angle of a regular polygon B = $\frac{900}{7}$
If the sides of the polygon B are nB.
⇒ 180° × (nB – 2) = $\frac{900}{7}$ × nB
⇒ 180nB – $\frac{900}{7}$ × n= 360
⇒ $\frac{360}{7}$ × nB = 360
$\therefore$ nB = 7
The sum of sides of polygons A and B = 7 + 9 = 16
Hence, the correct answer is 16.
