Question : If $x+\frac{1}{x}=2$. Then, the value of $x^7+\frac{1}{x^5}$ is:
Option 1: $2^{12}$
Option 2: $2$
Option 3: $2^5$
Option 4: $2^7$
Correct Answer: $2$
Solution : Given: $x+\frac{1}{x}=2$ $x+\frac{1}{x} = 2$ In the above equation, substitute $x = 1$, $1+\frac{1}{1} = 2$ Then, the value of $x^{7}+\frac{1}{x^{5}}$ is, $1^{7}+\frac{1}{1^{5}} = 2$ Hence, the correct answer is 2.
Question : Directions: Three positions of a cube are shown below. What will come opposite to face containing *?

Question : AB is a chord in a circle with centre O. AB is produced to C such that BC is equal to the radius of the circle. C is joined to O and produced to meet the circle at D. If $\angle \mathrm{ACD}=32^{\circ}$, then the measure of $\angle \mathrm{AOD}$ is _____.
Option 1: 48°
Option 2: 96°
Option 3: 108°
Option 4: 80°
Correct Answer: 96°
Solution : In $\triangle$OBC OB = BC So, $\angle$ BOC = $\angle$ BCO = 32° Also, $\angle$ OBA = $\angle$ BOC + $\angle$ BCO = 32° + 32° = 64° Since OA = OB $\angle$ OAB = $\angle$ OBA In $\triangle$ AOB $\angle$ AOB + $\angle$ OAB
Question : Directions: In the following question a series is given, with one number missing. Choose the correct alternative from the given ones that will complete the series. 1, 2, 2, 4, 8, 32, ?
Option 1: 128
Option 2: 198
Option 3: 256
Option 4: 312
Correct Answer: 256
Solution : Given: 1, 2, 2, 4, 8, 32, ?
From the third term onwards, each term is the multiplication of the previous two terms in the series – 2 × 1 = 2; 2 × 2 = 4; 4 × 2 = 8; 8 × 4

Question : In a $\triangle P Q R, \angle P: \angle Q: \angle R=3: 4: 8$. The shortest side and the longest side of the triangle, respectively, are:
Option 1: PQ and PR
Option 2: QR and PR
Option 3: PQ and QR
Option 4: QR and PQ
Correct Answer: QR and PQ
Solution : In $\triangle P Q R$, $\angle P: \angle Q: \angle R=3: 4: 8$ Let $\angle P= 3x,\angle Q=4x,\angle R=8x$ $\therefore \angle R$ is the largest angle and $\angle P$ is the smallest angle. The shortest side will be opposite to the smallest angle.
Question : Directions: Which number will replace the question mark (?) to complete the given series? 101, 182, 118, 167, ?
Option 1: 131
Option 2: 156
Option 3: 128
Option 4: 142
Correct Answer: 131
Solution : Given: 101, 182, 118, 167, ?
Add and subtract the square of the consecutive natural numbers alternatively, in decreasing order starting from 9, to get the required missing term –
So, 131 is the missing term in the series. Hence, the first option is correct.
