Question : If $p=3+\frac{1}{p}$, then the value of $(p^4+\frac{1}{p^4})$ is:

Option 1: 81

Option 2: 27

Option 3: 120

Option 4: 119

Team Careers360 20th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 119


Solution : Given: $p=3+\frac{1}{p}$
The algebraic identity used is $(p-\frac{1}{p})^2=p^2+\frac{1}{p^2}-2$
$(p-\frac{1}{p})=3$
On squaring both sides of the given equation, we get,
$(p-\frac{1}{p})^2=3^2$
⇒ $p^2+\frac{1}{p^2}–2=9$
⇒ $p^2+\frac{1}{p^2}=9+2$
⇒ $p^2+\frac{1}{p^2}=11$
On squaring both sides of the given equation, we get,
$(p^2+\frac{1}{p^2})^2=11^2$
⇒ $p^4+\frac{1}{p^4}+2=121$
⇒ $p^4+\frac{1}{p^4}=121–2$
⇒ $p^4+\frac{1}{p^4}=119$
Hence, the

Question : If $a^3-b^3=56$ and $a-b=2$, what is the value of $(a^2+b^2)$?

Option 1: 12

Option 2: 20

Option 3: 28

Option 4: 32

Team Careers360 12th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 20


Solution : Given:
$a^3-b^3=56$ and $a-b=2$
Now, $(a-b)^3=a^3-b^3-3ab(a-b)$
⇒ $2^3=56-3ab×2$
⇒ $6ab=48$
⇒ $ab=8$
Now, $(a-b)^2=a^2+b^2-2ab$
⇒ $2^2=a^2+b^2-2×8$
⇒ $a^2+b^2=4+16$
$\therefore a^2+b^2=20$
Hence, the correct answer is 20.

Option 3: RHS property

Option 4: SSS property

Team Careers360 24th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: SAS property

⇒ $\angle$ D = $180^{\circ} - 85^{\circ} - 40^{\circ}$ = $55^{\circ}$
In $\triangle$ ABC and $\triangle$ DEF,
