Question : What is the simplified value of
$\left(1-\frac{1}{4-\frac{2}{1+\frac{1}{\frac{1}{3}+2}}}\right) \times \frac{15}{16} \div \frac{2}{3}$ of $2 \frac{1}{4}-\frac{3+4}{3^3+4^3}$

Option 1: $\frac{5}{13}$

Option 2: $\frac{4}{13}$

Option 3: $\frac{8}{13}$

Option 4: $\frac{6}{13}$

Team Careers360 19th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\frac{4}{13}$


Solution : Given: $\left(1-\frac{1}{4-\frac{2}{1+\frac{1}{\frac{1}{3}+2}}}\right) \times \frac{15}{16} \div \frac{2}{3}$ of $2 \frac{1}{4}-\frac{3+4}{3^3+4^3}$
$=(1-\frac{1}{4-\frac{2}{1+\frac{3}{7}}}) \times \frac{15}{16} \div (\frac{2}{3} \times \frac{9}{4})-\frac{3+4}{27+64}$
$=(1-\frac{1}{4-\frac{14}{10}}) \times \frac{15}{16} \div \frac{3}{2} -\frac{7}{91}$
$=(1-\frac{10}{26}) \times \frac{15}{16} \times \frac{2}{3} -\frac{1}{13}$
$=\frac{16}{26} \times \frac{5}{8}  -\frac{1}{13}$
$=\frac{10}{26} -\frac{1}{13}$
$=\frac{10-2}{26}$
$=\frac{8}{26}$
$=\frac{4}{13}$
Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{4}{13}$.

Question : DEF is an isosceles triangle such that DE = DF = 60 cm and EF = 96 cm. DG is a median to base EF. What is the length of DG?

Option 1: 22 cm

Option 2: 36 cm

Option 3: 24 cm

Option 4: 32 cm

Team Careers360 15th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 36 cm


Solution :
Given:
DE = DF = 60 cm, EF = 96
DG median cuts EF into two halves.
So, EG = $\frac{96}{2}=48$ cm
In $\triangle$DEG,
DE2 = DG2 + EG2
⇒ DG = $\sqrt{60^2-48^2}=\sqrt{1296}=36$ cm
Hence, the correct answer is 36 cm.
