Follow the pattern to find the missing term –

So, 321 is the missing term in the series. Hence, the fourth option is correct.

Correct Answer: 3048

Solution : Given: $a-b=8$ and $4ab=84$
⇒ $ab=21$
Now, $a-b=8$
Cubing both sides we get,
⇒ $(a-b)^3=8^3$
⇒ $a^3-b^3-3ab(a-b)=512$
Putting the values, we get:
⇒ $a^3-b^3-3\times 21\times8=512$
⇒ $a^3-b^3=512+504$
⇒ $a^3-b^3=1016$
$\therefore 3a^3-3b^3 =3\times1016=3048$
Hence, the correct answer is 3048.

The term meagre leaks is not commonly used and can be confusing. Also, the adverb especially is the correct word to use here because it emphasises that particular attention should be given to the pipework connections.

Therefore,

Correct Answer: 1

Solution : $\frac{\sin^4 A+\cos^4 A}{1-2 \sin^2 A \cos^2 A}$
Since $\sin^2A+\cos^2 A=1$ and $(\sin^2A+\cos^2 A)^2=1$,
$=\frac{\sin^4 A+\cos^4 A}{(\sin^2A+\cos^2 A)^2 -2 \sin^2 A \cos^2 A}$
$= \frac{\sin^4 A+\cos^4 A}{\sin^4A+\cos^4 A -2 \sin^2 A \cos^2 A +2 \sin^2 A \cos^2 A}$
$=\frac{\sin^4 A+\cos^4 A}{\sin^4A+\cos^4 A }$
$=1$
Hence, the
