Option 1: 60

Option 2: 45

Option 3: 55

Option 4: 50

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Solution : Let the number of members be $x$.
So each member contributes $x$ rupees and $x$ paise.
According to the given information,
$x × x + x × \frac{x}{100}= 2525$
⇒ $x^2 + \frac{x^2}{100} = 2525$
⇒ 101$x^2= 252500$
⇒ $x^2= 2500$
⇒ $x = 50$

Question : If $x=\sqrt{–\sqrt{3}+\sqrt{3+8 \sqrt{7+4 \sqrt{3}}}}$ where $x > 0$, then the value of $x$ is equal to:

Option 1: 3

Option 2: 4

Option 3: 1

Option 4: 2

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 2


Solution : Given: $x=\sqrt{–\sqrt{3}+\sqrt{3+8 \sqrt{7+4 \sqrt{3}}}}$ where $x > 0$.
Use the algebraic identity, $(a+b)^2=a^2+b^2+2ab$.
$⇒x=\sqrt{–\sqrt{3}+\sqrt{3+8 \sqrt{4+3+4 \sqrt{3}}}}$
$⇒x=\sqrt{–\sqrt{3}+\sqrt{3+8 \sqrt{(2+\sqrt{3}}})^2}$
$⇒x=\sqrt{–\sqrt{3}+\sqrt{3+8 (2+\sqrt{3}})}$
$⇒x=\sqrt{–\sqrt{3}+\sqrt{3+16+8\sqrt{3}}}$
$⇒x=\sqrt{–\sqrt{3}+\sqrt{(4+\sqrt{3}})^2}$
$⇒x=\sqrt{–\sqrt{3}+4+\sqrt{3}}$
$\therefore x=\sqrt4=2$
Hence, the correct answer is 2.

Question : The area of a rhombus is 256 square cm, and one of its diagonals is twice the other in length. The length of its larger diagonal is:

Option 1: 32 cm

Option 2: 16 cm

Option 3: 48 cm

Option 4: 24 cm

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Solution : Let the first diagonal be $x$ and the second diagonal be $2x$.
Area of rhombus = $\frac{1}{2}\times$(Product of the diagonals)
$256 = \frac{1}{2}\times x \times 2x$
⇒ $256 = x^2$
⇒ $x=16$
So, the length of the larger diagonal = 2 × 16 =
