Simplification


  1. What is the value of
    [725 x 725 x 725 + 371 x 371 x 371] / [725 x 725 - 725 x 371 + 371 x 371] = ?

    (a3 + b3) / (a2 - ab + b2)
    = (a + b) (a2 - ab + b2)/(a2 - ab + b2)
    = a + b

    Correct Option: C

    [725 x 725 x 725 + 371 x 371 x 371] / [725 x 725 - 725 x 371 + 371 x 371]
    = 725 + 371 = 1096
    [∵ (a3 + b3) / (a2 - ab + b2) = (a + b) (a2 - ab + b2)/(a2 - ab + b2) = a + b ]


  1. (5568 ÷ 87)1/3 + (72 x 2)1/2 = (?)1/2









  1. View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum

    (?)1/2 = (5568 ÷ 87)1/3 + (72 x 2)1/2
    = (64)1/3 + (144)1/2
    ∴ ? = (4 + 12)2 = 256

    Correct Option: A

    (?)1/2 = (5568 ÷ 87)1/3 + (72 x 2)1/2
    = (64)1/3 + (144)1/2
    ∴ ? = (4 + 12)2 = 256



  1. (0.49)4 x (0.343)4 ÷ (0.2401)4 = (70 ÷ 100) ? + 3











  1. View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum

    (70 ÷ 100) ? + 3 = (0.49)4 x (0.343)4 ÷ (0.2401)4
    (0.7) ? + 3 = (0.49 x 0.343/0.2401)4
    (0.7)? + 3 = (0.7)4
    On comparing the exponents both sides, we get
    ? + 3 = 4
    ∴ ? = 4 - 3 = 1

    Correct Option: B

    (70 ÷ 100) ? + 3 = (0.49)4 x (0.343)4 ÷ (0.2401)4
    (0.7) ? + 3 = (0.49 x 0.343/0.2401)4
    (0.7)? + 3 = (0.7)4
    On comparing the exponents both sides, we get
    ? + 3 = 4
    ∴ ? = 4 - 3 = 1


  1. [0.5 x 0.5 x 0.5 + 0.2 x 0.2 x 0.2 + 0.3 x 0.3 x 0.3 - 3 x 0.5 x 0.3 x 0.2] / [0.5 x 0.5 + 0.2 x 0.2 + 0.3 x 0.3 - 0.5 x 0.2 - 0.2 x 0.3 - 0.5 x 0.3]

    Given expression
    = a3+ b3 + c3 - 3abc/a2 + b2 + c2 - ab - bc - ca
    = a + b + c

    Correct Option: A

    Given expression
    = a3+ b3 + c3 - 3abc/a2 + b2 + c2 - ab - bc - ca
    = a + b + c
    = 0.5 + 0.2 + 0.3
    where, a = 0.5, b = 0.2, c = 0.3



  1. If x + 1/x = 2, then 2x2 + 2/3x2 + 5x + 3 = ?

    Given expression = 2x2 + 2/3x2 + 3 + 5x
    On dividing numerator and denominator by x, we get
    = 2(x + 1/x)/3(x + 1/x) + 5 = 2 x 2/3 x 2 + 5 = 4/11
    [given x + 1/x = 2]

    Correct Option: A

    Given expression = 2x2 + 2/3x2 + 3 + 5x
    On dividing numerator and denominator by x, we get
    = 2(x + 1/x)/3(x + 1/x) + 5 = 2 x 2/3 x 2 + 5 = 4/11
