Question : If $x^2-9x+1=0$, what is the value of $(x^3+\frac{1}{x^3})$?
Option 1: $54$
Option 2: $108$
Option 3: $702$
Option 4: $810$
Correct Answer: $702$
Solution : Given: $x^2-9x+1=0$ Dividing both sides by $x$, we get, $⇒x-9+\frac{1}{x}=0$ $⇒x+\frac{1}{x}=9$ Cubing both sides, we get, $⇒(x+\frac{1}{x})^3=9^3$ $⇒x^3+\frac{1}{x^3}+3×x×\frac{1}{x}(x+\frac{1}{x})=729$ $⇒x^3+\frac{1}{x^3}+3×9=729$ $\therefore x^3+\frac{1}{x^3}=729-27=702$ Hence, the correct answer is $702$.
Question : A vendor bought a book, marked at INR 850 at successive discounts of 20% and 10%, respectively. He spent INR 55 on transport and sold the book for INR 980. What will be his profit percentage (rounded off to 2 decimal places)?
