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: $\frac{(x^{32}-\frac{1}{x^{32}})}{(x+\frac{1}{x})}$

Team Careers360 13th Jan, 2024

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

Team Careers360 14th Jan, 2024

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: $5 \sqrt{7} \mathrm{~cm}$

Team Careers360 19th Jan, 2024

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

Team Careers360 14th Jan, 2024
