Question : If $2x+\frac{1}{4x}=1$, then the value of $x^{2}+\frac{1}{64x^{2}}$ is:

Option 1: $0$

Option 2: $1$

Option 3: $\frac{1}{4}$

Option 4: $2$

Team Careers360 24th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $0$


Solution : Given: $2x+\frac{1}{4x}=1$
Dividing by 2 on both sides,
⇒ $x+\frac{1}{8x}=\frac{1}{2}$ ----------------------------------(i)
Now, $x^{2}+\frac{1}{64x^{2}}=(x+\frac{1}{8x})^2$ – $2×x×\frac{1}{8x}$
Substituting the values, we get
⇒ $x^{2}+\frac{1}{64x^{2}}=(\frac{1}{2})^2$ – $\frac{1}{4}$
⇒ $x^{2}+\frac{1}{64x^{2}}= 0$
Hence, the correct answer is $0$.

Option 2: 48

Option 3: 24

Option 4: 10

Team Careers360 24th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 20


Solution :
Given:
RS = $16$ cm
QT = $4$ cm
Join OR, which is a radius.
Let the radius be $r$ cm.
So, OT = $r-4$ cm
RT = $\frac{1}{2}×RS =\frac{1}{2}×16=8$ cm
From $\triangle$ ORT, 
$OR^2=OT^2+RT^2$
⇒ $r^2=(r-4)^2+8^2$
⇒ $8r=16+64$
⇒ $8r=80$
⇒ $r=10$
Diameter =
