Question : The term that should be added to ($4x^2+8x$) so that the resulting expression be a perfect square, is:

Option 1: $2$

Option 2: $4$

Option 3: $2x$

Option 4: $1$

Team Careers360 22nd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $4$


Solution : $4x^2+8x$ = $(2x)^2+2×(2x)×2$
Adding $4$ on both sides then use identity: $(a + b)^2 = a^2 + b^2 + 2ab$
$4x^2+8x+4$ = $(2x)^2+2×(2x)×2+4$ = $(2x+2)^2$
Thus, $4$ is to be added to $4x^2+8x$ to make it a perfect square.
Hence, the correct answer is $4$.

Question : Three successive discounts 22%, 17% and 11% are equivalent to a single discount of:

Option 1: approximately 42%

Option 2: approximately 25%

Option 3: approximately 50%

Option 4: approximately 45%

Team Careers360 18th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: approximately 42%


Solution : Single equivalent discount = $(a+b-\frac{a×b}{100}$)%, where $a$% and $b$% are successive discounts.
So, a single equivalent discount of 17% and 22%
$=17+22-\frac{17×22}{100}=39-3.74=35.26\%$
Now, a single equivalent discount of 35.26% and 11% $=35.26+11-\frac{35.26×11}{100}=46.16-3.88=42.28\% \approx42\%$
