Question : If $x-y=7$ and $xy=32$, then the value of $x^{2}+y^{2}$ is:

Option 1: 49

Option 2: 64

Option 3: 113

Option 4: 15

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 113


Solution : Given: $x-y=7$ and $xy=32$.
We know that $(x-y)^{2}=x^{2}+y^{2}-2xy$.
⇒ $x^{2}+y^{2}=(x-y)^{2}+2xy$
By putting the value of $x-y=7$ and $xy=32$ in above expression, we get:
⇒ $x^{2}+y^{2}=7^{2}+2×32$
⇒ $x^{2}+y^{2}=49+64$
⇒ $x^{2}+y^{2}=113$
Hence, the correct answer is 113.

Question : The present age of Rahim is five times the present age of his daughter, Savita. Seven years from now, Rahim will be three times as old as Savita. What is the present age (in years) of Rahim?

Option 1: 45 years

Option 2: 35 years

Option 3: 40 years

Option 4: 30 years

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 35 years


Solution : Let the present age of Rahim be x years and her daughter be y years.
Given: x = 5y
According to the question,
x + 7 = 3(y + 7)
⇒ x + 7 = 3y + 21
Putting the value of x, we get:
5y + 7 = 3y + 21
⇒ 2y = 14
⇒ y = 7
So, x = 5y = 5 × 7 = 35
Hence, the correct answer is 35 years.
