Option 1: 1
Option 2: 3
Option 3: $\frac{1}{3}$
Option 4: $\frac{1}{2}$
Correct Answer: 1
Solution : Given: $\frac{\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{3}\times\frac{1}{3}}{\frac{1}{3}\times\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{3}}$ $= \frac{\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{9}}{\frac{1}{9}+\frac{1}{3}}$ $= \frac{\frac{4}{9}}{\frac{4}{9}}$ $= 1$ Hence, the correct answer is 1.

Question : Determine the value of $x$, if $x = \frac{(943+864)^2-(943-864)^2}{(1886\times1728)}$.
Option 2: 4
Option 3: 79
Option 4: 1789
Solution : Given: $x = \frac{(943+864)^2-(943-864)^2}{(1886\times1728)}$ This can be simplified using the identity $(a+b)^2 - (a-b)^2 = 4ab$, where $a = 943$ and $b = 864$. ⇒ $x = \frac{4×943×864}{1886\times1728}$ ⇒ $x = \frac{2×943×2×864}{1886\times1728}$ ⇒ $x=1$ Hence, the correct answer is $1$.
