Question : What is the value of $\left(27 x^3-58 x^2 y+31 x y^2-8 y^3\right)$, when $x=-5$ and $y=-7?$

Option 1: 1924

Option 2: – 1924

Option 3: – 1926

Option 4: 1926

Team Careers360 15th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 1924


Solution : Given:
$x=-5$ and $y=-7$
$\left(27 x^3-58 x^2 y+31 x y^2-8 y^3\right)$
$= (3x)^3-3×(3x)^2×2y+3×3x×(2y)^2-(2y)^3-4x^2y-5xy^2$
$= (3x-2y)^3-xy(4x+5y)$
$= (3×(-5)-2×(-7))^3-(-5×(-7))(4×(-5)+5×(-7))$
$=-1-35(-20-35)$
$= -1-35(-55)$
$= -1+1925$
$= 1924$
Hence, the correct answer is 1924.

Question : A tower is broken at a point P above the ground. The top of the tower makes an angle of $60^\circ$ with the ground at Q. From another point R on the opposite side Q angle of elevation of point P is $30^\circ$. If QR = 180 m, what is the total height (in meters) of the tower?

Option 1: $90$

Option 2: $45\sqrt{3}$

Option 3: $45(\sqrt{3}+1)$

Option 4: $45(\sqrt{3}+2)$

Team Careers360 23rd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $45(\sqrt{3}+2)$


Solution :

Let OP = $h$ m
In $\triangle$OPQ,
$\tan60°=\frac{h}{OQ}$
⇒ $OQ=\frac{h}{\sqrt3}$ ------------------(equation 1)
In $\triangle$OPR,
$\tan30^\circ=\frac{h}{OR}$
⇒ $OR=h\sqrt3$ ----------------------(equation 2)
According to the question,
$h\sqrt3+\frac{h}{\sqrt3}=180$
⇒ $3h+h=180\sqrt3$
⇒ $h=\frac{180\sqrt3}{4}$
⇒ $h=45\sqrt3$ m
Now, in $\triangle$OPQ,
$\sin60^\circ=\frac{h}{PQ}$
⇒ $PQ=45\sqrt3×\frac{2}{\sqrt3}$
⇒ PQ = 90 m
So, the total

Question : Directions: In the following question, some parts of the sentence may have some errors. Find out which part of the sentence has an error and select the appropriate option. If the sentence is free from error, select "No error".

Shelley is (1) / superior than Byron (2) / in his vision of democracy. (3) / No error (4)

Option 1: (1)

Option 2: (2)

Option 3: (3)

Option 4: (4)

Team Careers360 17th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: (2)


Solution : The error lies in the second part of the sentence.

The use of the preposition "than" after "superior" is incorrect. To express comparison, we use "superior to" as superior is followed by the preposition to and not than.

Therefore, the correct sentence would be:

Question : If $x+\frac{1}{x}=-6$, what will be the value of $x^5+\frac{1}{x^5}$?

Option 1: – 7776

Option 2: – 6726

Option 3: – 6738

Option 4: – 6732

Team Careers360 16th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: – 6726


Solution : Given:
$x+\frac{1}{x}=-6$ ---------------------------------------(1)
Squaring both sides of equation (1)
So, $(x+\frac{1}{x})^2=(-6)^2$
⇒ $x^2+\frac{1}{x^2}=36-2=34$
Cubing both sides of equation (1)
$(x+\frac{1}{x})^3=(-6)^3$
⇒ $x^3+\frac{1}{x^3}+3×x×\frac{1}{x}(x+\frac{1}{x})=-216$
⇒ $x^3+\frac{1}{x^3}+3(-6)=-216$
⇒ $x^3+\frac{1}{x^3}=-216+18=-198$
So, $x^5+\frac{1}{x^5}$
= $(x^2+\frac{1}{x^2})(x^3+\frac{1}{x^3})-(x+\frac{1}{x})$
= $34×(-198)-(-6)$
= $-6732+6$
= $-6726$
Hence, the correct answer is – 6726.
