Question : What is the simplified value of $(x^{32}+\frac{1}{x^{32}})(x^{8}+\frac{1}{x^{8}})(x-\frac{1}{x})(x^{16}+\frac{1}{x^{16}})(x+\frac{1}{x})(x^{4}+\frac{1}{x^{4}})?$
Option 1: $(x^{64}+\frac{1}{x^{64}})$
Option 2: $\frac{(x^{64}-\frac{1}{x^{64}})}{(x^2+\frac{1}{x^2})}$
Option 3: $\frac{(x^{64}-\frac{1}{x^{64}})}{(x+\frac{1}{x})}$
Option 4: $\frac{(x^{32}-\frac{1}{x^{32}})}{(x+\frac{1}{x})}$
Correct Answer: $\frac{(x^{64}-\frac{1}{x^{64}})}{(x^2+\frac{1}{x^2})}$
Solution : Given: $(x^{32}+\frac{1}{x^{32}})(x^{8}+\frac{1}{x^{8}})(x-\frac{1}{x})(x^{16}+\frac{1}{x^{16}})(x+\frac{1}{x})(x^{4}+\frac{1}{x^{4}})$ $=(x^{32}+\frac{1}{x^{32}})(x^{8}+\frac{1}{x^{8}})(x^2-\frac{1}{x^2})(x^{16}+\frac{1}{x^{16}})(x^{4}+\frac{1}{x^{4}})$ Multiplying it by $\frac{(x^2+\frac{1}{x^2})}{(x^2+\frac{1}{x^2})}$, we get, $= \frac{(x^2+\frac{1}{x^2})}{(x^2+\frac{1}{x^2})}×(x^{32}+\frac{1}{x^{32}})(x^{8}+\frac{1}{x^{8}})(x^2-\frac{1}{x^2})(x^{16}+\frac{1}{x^{16}})(x^{4}+\frac{1}{x^{4}})$ $= \frac{1}{(x^2+\frac{1}{x^2})}×(x^{32}+\frac{1}{x^{32}})(x^{8}+\frac{1}{x^{8}})(x^{16}+\frac{1}{x^{16}})(x^{4}+\frac{1}{x^{4}})(x^{4}-\frac{1}{x^{4}})$ $= \frac{1}{(x^2+\frac{1}{x^2})}×(x^{32}+\frac{1}{x^{32}})(x^{8}+\frac{1}{x^{8}})(x^{16}+\frac{1}{x^{16}})(x^{8}-\frac{1}{x^{8}})$ $= \frac{1}{(x^2+\frac{1}{x^2})}×(x^{32}+\frac{1}{x^{32}})(x^{16}+\frac{1}{x^{16}})(x^{16}-\frac{1}{x^{16}})$ $= \frac{1}{(x^2+\frac{1}{x^2})}×(x^{32}+\frac{1}{x^{32}})(x^{32}-\frac{1}{x^{32}})$ $= \frac{1}{(x^2+\frac{1}{x^2})}×(x^{64}-\frac{1}{x^{64}})$ $= \frac{(x^{64}-\frac{1}{x^{64}})}{(x^2+\frac{1}{x^2})}$ Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{(x^{64}-\frac{1}{x^{64}})}{(x^2+\frac{1}{x^2})}$.
Question : A and B started a business investing amounts of INR 92,500 and INR 1,12,500, respectively. If B's share in the profit earned by them is INR 9,000, what is the profit (in INR) earned by A?
Option 1: 9,000
Option 2: 10,000
Option 3: 7,400
Option 4: 11,240
Correct Answer: 7,400
Solution : Amount invested by A = INR 92,500 Amount invested by B = INR 1,12,500 B's share in profit = INR 9,000 Let the profit earned by A be INR $x$. According to the question, $(\frac{92500}{112500}) = (\frac{x}{9000})$ ⇒ $x = \frac{(92500 × 9000)}{112500}$ ⇒ $x

Question : In a circle with centre O, AD is a diameter and AC is a chord. Point B is on AC such that OB = 7 cm and $\angle OBA=60^{\circ}$. If $\angle \mathrm{DOC}=60^{\circ}$, then what is the length of BC?
Option 1: $3 \sqrt{7} \mathrm{~cm}$
Option 2: $3.5 \mathrm{~cm}$
Option 3: $7 \mathrm{~cm}$
Option 4: $5 \sqrt{7} \mathrm{~cm}$
Correct Answer: $7 \mathrm{~cm}$
Solution : Given, AD is a diameter AC is a chord OB = 7 $\angle{OBA} = 60°$ $\angle{DOC} = 60°$ Now, $\angle{DOC} + \angle{AOC} = 180°$ (The sum of the angles on a straight line is 180°) ⇒ $60° + \angle{AOC} = 180°$ ⇒ $ \angle{AOC}=

Question : In what ratio should wheat at Rs. 32 per kg be mixed with wheat at Rs. 24 per kg so that, on selling the mixture at Rs. 39 per kg, there is a profit of 30%?
Option 1: 3 : 1
Option 2: 2 : 3
Option 3: 1 : 4
Option 4: 2 : 5
Correct Answer: 3 : 1
Solution : At a profit of 30%, the selling price (SP) is Rs. 39. Let the cost price (CP) of the mixture be Rs. $x$. So, $\frac{130x}{100} = 39$ $\therefore$ CP = 30 By using the alligation rule,
Required ratio = (Mean value – Lower
Question : Directions: In a certain code language, FRIEND is written as IIFDME, and DEMAND is written as MVDDMA. How will GROUND be written in that language?
Option 1: DOTENC
Option 2: PXKRYS
Option 3: OIGDMU
Option 4: OFTSBU
Correct Answer: OIGDMU
Solution : Given: FRIEND is written as IIFDME, and DEMAND is written as MVDDMA.
FRIEND is written as IIFDME – And, DEMAND is written as MVDDMA –
Similarly, follow the same pattern for GROUND –
So, GROUND is written as OIGDMU in the code language. Hence, the
