2. My words..... My purpose here is to give a few questions on fundamentals of Algebra . I welcome your suggestions. I also request you to help me in spreading social entrepreneurship across the globe – for which I need support of you people – not of any VIP. With your help, I can spread the ideas – for which we stand....
3. If (x^3 – 1/x^3)= 14, what is (x-1/x) ? Options : 5,4,3,2 let us assume 1/x = y x^3 -y^3 = 14 (x-y)^3 = x^3 -3x^2y+3xy^2-y^3 (x-y)^3 =14 -3xy(x-y) (x-y)^3 +3xy(x-y)=14 (x-Y)^3 +3(x-y) – 14=0 (we can cancel xy, as y is 1/x) at this stage put the options, when you put x-y = 2, you are able to solve it so answer is 2
4. What must be added to 1/x to make it equal to x ? X – 1/x = (x^2 -1) / x answer
9. X^3 -3x^2+4x+k contains (x+6) as factor, what is the value of k ? X+6 = 0, so x = -6 Take x=-6 -216 -108 -24 +k = 0 k = 348 answer
10. (x+2) and (x-1) are factors of (x^3+10x^2+mx+n), what is the value of m and n ? Options : 5,-3 17,-8, 23,-19, 7,-18 solution : take x = 1 1+10+mx+n or m+n = -11 take x = -2 -8+40-2m+n or -2m+n = -32 or 3n=-54 or n=-18 so last option is correct
11. If 5^x /125 = 1, what is X ? We know that 5^3 = 125, 125/125=1, so x=3 answer
12. If 3^x – 3^(x-1) = 18, what is x^x Options : 3,8,27,216 try with 27, x should be 3 let us put the value of x in the equation we find : 27 – 9 = 18 so X = 3 and x^x = 27 answer
13. If 2^x – 2^(x-1) = 16, then what is the value of x^4 ? Options : 16, 81, 256, 625 let us try with option 625, here x = 5 so put the value of X in the equation, we get : 32 – 16 = 16 so x= 5, and x^4 = 625 answer
14. If (a+b+c) = 0, then a^3+b^3+c^3 is equal to what ? Options : 0, 3abc, abc, (ab+bc+ac) answer : = 3abc formula : (a+b+c)=0 then a^3+b^3+c^3 = 3abc
15. a+b = 5, and ab = 6, what is (a^3+b^3) ? (a-b)^2 = (a+b)^2 – 4ab ab =6, a+b = 5 (a-b)^2=25-24 = 1 (a+b)^3 = a^3 +b^3 +3a^2b+3ab^2 or : (a+b)^3 = a^3 +b^3 +3ab(a+b) (5)^3 = a^3+b^3 +3*6(5) 125 – 90 = a^3+b^3 a^3+b^3 = 35 ans

17. What will you get from (.4)^(1/2) ? Options : 1. .2 2. .-2 3. .02 4 none of these answer : square root of .4 will be close to .6, so answer is none of these
18. What will you get from (.8)^(1/3) ? a. .2 b .02 c .04 d none of these answer : answer will be more than .9, so answer is none of these
19. What will you get from the following : (.9)^(1/2) a. .3 b. .03 c. between .8 and .9 d. none of these answer : none of these
20. Due to clerical mistake , + is written as *, / is written as - , * is written as +, - is written as =. what will you get from this : 2 of 2 =4 * 6- 3 (2+4-2) Solution : first remove clerical mistake : 2 of 2-4 + 6 / 3 (2*4/2) first solve bracket : 2 of 2-4+ 6 /3 * 4 solve of 4 -4+2 * 4 now solve multiply 4 – 4 + 8 = 8 answer
21. What should we add or subtract or multiply or divide from 13333 to make it a perfect square ? Find minimum digit If we add 125, we get : 13458, which is square of 116 if we deduct 108, we get 13225 so we should deduct 108
23. Which of these is highest : 2/5, 15/18 , 223/226, 1202/1205 ? Here difference between denominator and numerator is same in each case, so the answer will be 1202 / 1205 answer
24. What is the .the sum of first 20 terms of series is 1/5*6 +1/6*7+1/7*8----- We can write it as : 1/30, 1/42, 1/56 we can write it as (1/5-1/6)+(1/6 – 1/7)+ (1/7-1/8) . . . . here you can see that in first bracket we have -1/6 and in 2 nd bracket we have + 1/6 and so on.. when we open bracket, we get : 1/5+1/25 we get 6/25 answer
25. The least among the following :- a. 0.2 b.1/0.2 c. 0.3^2 d. 0.22 a. 0.2 b.1/0.2 = 5 c. 0.3^2 =.09 d. 0.22 so the answer = C
26. If 1/3.718 =0.2689,then find value of 1/0.0003718 ? =2689 just shift the decimals as per the question
34. What will you get from : .3879999999.......? Here 9 is repeating and 387 is non-repeating deduct 387 from the number and divide by 9000 we use as many 9 as there are repeating digits we use as many 0 as we have non-repeatig digits. =(3879-387)/(9000) =3492 / 9000 answer
35. What will you get from .358585858.....? Here 58 are being repeated we will deduct 3 (non repeating) from 358 and divide it by 990 (as many 9 as there are repeating digits and as many 0 as there are non repeating digits) = (358 – 3) / (990) =355/990 =71/198 answer
36. Put these in ascending order : 2/3, 25/39, 18/-19, 55/70, .04555..? Ascending means from small to big the smallest number is 18/-19 (as it is in negative). Then we have .04555..... now compare 2/3 and 25/39, in order to compare these, let us multiply the numerators of these by denominators of the other numbers, we get : 78 and 75, the bigger number is 78 so 2/3 is bigger. Now compare it with 55/70. We get : 140 and 165, 165 is bigger so final order : -18/19, .45555.., 25/39, 2/3, 55/70 answer
37. What will you get from (91.9432)^2 – (41.9432)^2 ? (a^2 – b^2) = (a-b) * ( a+b) = (91.9432 – 41.9432) * ( 91.9432+41.9432) (50) * (133.8864) =6694.32 answer
39. What is the remainder when (2x^3 +5x^2 -4x -6) is divided by (2x -1) ? 2x-1 = 0 so x = ½ or .5 put this value in the equation .25+1.25-2-6 =1.5 – 8 = -6.5 answer
40. Which of these is / are factor of (x^2 +4) ? (x+2) , (x-2) , (x^2 -2), (none of these ) answer = none of these
41. Which of these is a factor of (X^3 -5x^2+8x-4) ? (x-1), (x-2)^2, (x+2), (x+1) , (none) answer = (x-1)
42. What is the remainder when (x^11 +1) is divided by (x+1) ? Answer = zero
43. (x+1/x) = 3, what is the value of (x^6 +1/x^6) ? Options : 927, 414, 364, 322 let us assume y = 1/x find its cube : x^3+3x^2y+3xy^2+y^3 = 27 =x^3+y^3 + 9 or x^3+y^3 = 18 now square it : x^6+2x^3y^3+y^6 = 324 (we can cancel x^3 and y^3) x^6+y^6 = 324-2 = 322 answer
