Question : Successive discounts of 30% and 20% are equivalent to a single discount of:

Option 1: 50%

Option 2: 40%

Option 3: 44%

Option 4: 10%

Team Careers360 24th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 44%


Solution : We know,
$\text{Single discount} = (a+b-\frac{a×b}{100}$)%,
where $a,b$ are successive discounts
$\therefore$ Single discount of two successive discounts of 30% and 20% $=30+20-\frac{30×20}{100}=44$%
Hence, the correct answer is 44%.

Question : If $2x+3y = 4$ and $4x^{2}+9y^{2}= 64$, then what is the value of $8x^{3}+27y^{3}$:

Option 1: 253

Option 2: 235

Option 3: 352

Option 4: 325

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 352


Solution : Given: $2x+3y=4$ and $4x^2+9x^2=64$
To find: $8x^3+27y^3$
Now,
$2x+3y=4$
Squaring both sides, we get:
⇒ $4x^2+9y^2+12xy=16$
Putting the values, we get:
⇒ $64+12xy=16$
⇒ $12xy=-48$
⇒ $xy=-4$
Now again,
$2x+3y=4$
Cubing both sides, we get:
⇒ $8x^3+27y^3+3×2x×3y(2x+3y)=64$
Putting the values, we get:
⇒ $8x^3+27y^3+18×(-4)×4=64$
$\therefore8x^3+27y^3=64+288=

Question : The value of $(x^{b+c})^{b–c}(x^{c+a})^{c–a}(x^{a+b})^{a–b}$, where $(x\neq 0)$ is:

Option 1: 1

Option 2: 2

Option 3: –1

Option 4: 0

Team Careers360 24th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 1


Solution : Given: $(x^{b+c})^{b–c}(x^{c+a})^{c–a}(x^{a+b})^{a–b}$ $(x\neq 0)$
= $(x^{(b+c)×(b–c)})(x^{(c+a)(c–a)})(x^{(a+b)×(a–b)})$
= $(x^{(b^{2}–c^{2})})(x^{(c^{2}–a^{2})})(x^{(a^{2}–b^{2})})$
= $x^{(b^{2}–c^{2}+c^{2}–a^{2}+a^{2}–b^{2})}$
= $x^{0}$
= 1
Hence, the correct answer is 1.
