Question : A solid metallic sphere of radius x cm is melted and then drawn into 126 cones each of radius 3.5 cm and height 3 cm. There is no wastage of material in this process. What is the value of $x$?

Option 1: 10.5

Option 2: 3.5

Option 3: 7

Option 4: 21

Team Careers360 22nd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 10.5


Solution : The volume of the sphere = $\frac {4}{3}\pi r^3$,
Volume of a cone = $\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2h$, where $r$ = radius, $h$ = height
According to the question,
$\frac {4}{3}\pi r^3= 126 × \frac{1}{3}\pi r^2h$
⇒ $x^{3} = \frac{126}{4} × 3.5 × 3.5 × 3$

Question : The ratio of investments of P and Q is 4 : 5. P invests for 1 year and Q invests for 2 years. What is the ratio of profit of P and Q?

Option 1: 3 : 5

Option 2: 4 : 7

Option 3: 2 : 5

Option 4: 1 : 2

Team Careers360 16th Jan, 2024

Question : If $P=\frac{(\sqrt7-\sqrt6)}{(\sqrt7+\sqrt6)}$, then what is the value of $(P+\frac{1}{P})?$

Option 1: 12

Option 2: 13

Option 3: 24

Option 4: 26

Team Careers360 17th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 26


Solution : $P=\frac{(\sqrt7-\sqrt6)}{(\sqrt7+\sqrt6)}$
$P=\frac{(\sqrt7-\sqrt6)}{(\sqrt7+\sqrt6)}\times \frac{(\sqrt7-\sqrt6)}{(\sqrt7-\sqrt6)}$
$P=7+6-2\sqrt{42} = 13-2\sqrt{42}$
$\frac{1}{P} = \frac{1}{13-2\sqrt{42}}\times \frac{13+2\sqrt{42}}{13+2\sqrt{42}}$
$P=13+2\sqrt{42}$
$P+\frac{1}{P} = 13-2\sqrt{42}+13+2\sqrt{42}=26$
Hence, the correct answer is 26.
