Page- 55
Que-1: If a+b = 12 and ab = 35, then (a-b)² =
(a) 2 (b) 4 (c) 16 (d) 20
Solution- (b) 4
Reason: a+b = 12
ab = 35
(a+b)² = 12² = 144
a² + 2ab + b² = 144
Now, we substitute the value of ab:
144 = a²+2⋅35+b²
a² + 70 + b² = 144
a²+b² = 144 – 70
a²+b² = 74
Now, we substitute a²+b² back into the expression for (a−b)²:
(a−b)² = a²−2ab+b²
(a−b)² = 74 − 2⋅35
(a−b)² = 74−70
(a−b)² = 4.
Que-2: If a+b =16 and a-b = 2, then ab =
(a) 48 (b) 56 (c) 63 (d) 65
Solution- (c) 63
Reason: we know that ,
(a-b)^2 = (a+b)^2 – 4ab
now , substitute the values
( 2)^2 = (16)^2 -4ab
4 = 256 – 4ab
4ab = 256 – 4
= 252
ab = 252/ 4
ab = 63.
Que-3: If p+1/p = 5/2, then p²+1/p² =
(a) 25/4 (b) 19/4 (c) 9/4 (d) 17/4
Solution- (d) 17/4
Reason: p+1/p = 5/2
First, square both sides of the given equation:
(p+1/p)² = (5/2)²
Expanding the left-hand side:
p²+2⋅p⋅1/p+1/p² = (5/2)²
Simplifying the left-hand side:
p²+2+1/p² = 25/4
Subtract 2 from both sides to isolate p²+1/p²:
p²+1/p² = 25/4−2
p²+1/p² = (25-8)/4
p²+1/p² = 17/4.
Que-4: If x+1/x = 5, then x-1/x =
(a) ±√21 (b) ±√29 (c) ±3 (d) ±2
Solution- (a) ±√21
Reason: Let’s denote:
y = x+1/x
y = 5
First, square both sides to create a simpler form that can be used:
y² = (x+1/x)²
Substituting y = 5:
5² = x²+2+1/x²
25 = x²+2+1/x²
x²+1/x² = 25-2 = 23
Now, let z = x−1/x
Square both sides of z = x−1/x:
z² = (x−1/x)²
z² = x²−2+1/x²1
z² = (x²+1/x²)−2
z² = 23−2 = 21
z = ±√21
x-1/x = ±√21.
Que-5: If y+1/y = 2, then y^5 + 1/y^5 =
(a) 5 (b) 3 (c) 2 (d) 1
Solution- (c) 2
Reason: y^5 + 1/y^5 = 2.
Que-6: If a²-1/a² = 7, then a^4 + 1/a^4 =
(a) 49 (b) 51 (c) 53 (d) 60
Solution- (b) 51
Reason: [a²-1/a²]²= (a²)²+(1/a²)²-2
(7)². = a⁴+1/a⁴-2
49+2. = a⁴+ 1/a⁴
51 = a⁴+ 1/a⁴.
Que-7: If x+y+z = 0, then x³+y³+z³ =
(a) xyz (b) 3xyz (c) 27xyz (d) 0
Solution- (b) 3xyz
Reason: if x + y + z = 0
then x+y = -z
cubing both side
()x+y )^3 =(-z) ^3
x3 + y3 + 3xy (x+y) =- z3
x3+y3+3xy(-z) =- z3
x3 + y3 -3xyz = -z3
x³+y³+z³ = 3xyz
Que-8: If a/b + b/a = 1(a,b ≠ 0), then a³+b³ =
(a) 0 (b) 1 (c) 2 (d) 8
Solution- (a) 0
Reason: a/b+b/a = 1 , multiply both side by ab
a²+b² = ab
a²+b²−ab = 0−−−−−−−(1)
a³+b³ = (a+b)(a²+b²−ab) ,
put a²+b²−ab = 0 from eq.(1)
a³+b³ = (a+b)(0)
a³+b³ = 0.
Que-9: If p+1/p = x and p-1/p = y, then the relation between x and y is :
(a) x² = y² (b) x²+y² = 4 (c) x²-y² = 4 (d) xy = 2
Solution- (c) x²-y² = 4
Reason: p²-1/p² = y
p²+1/p²-2 = y²
p²+1/p² = y²+2 [+2 on both sides]
p²+1/p²+2 = y²+4
[p+1/p]² = y²+4 but p+1/p = x and [p+1/p]² = x² so
x² = y²+4
x²-y² = 4.
Que-10: If a = 1/(a-7), then a-(1/a) =
(a) 0 (b) 1 (c) 7 (d) 1/7
Solution- (c) 7
Reason:
a = 1/(a-7)
a -7 = 1/a
a- 1/a = 7
Que-11: 2.51 x 2.51 + 1.31 x 1.31 – 2.62 x 2.51 =
(a) 1.44 (b) 0.44 (c) 1 (d) 0
Solution- (a) 1.44
Reason: let = 2.51 =a and 1.31 = b
a2 + b2 – 2 x a x b
(a-b)2
(2.51-1.31) ^2 = 1.44
Que-12: If (x+1/x)² = 3, then x³+1/x³ =
(a) 9 (b) 3 (c) 2 (d) 0
Solution- (d) 0
Reason: (x+1/x)² = 3
x + 1/x = √3
(x+1/x)³ = x³ + (1/x)³ + 3(x)(1/x) (x + 1/x)
√3³ = x³ + 1/x³ + 3(√3)
x³ + 1/x³ = 3√3 – 3√3
x³ + 1/x³ = 0.
Que-13: The value of ab if 3a+5b = 15 and 9a²+25b² = 75, is :
(a) 4 (b) 5 (c) 6 (d) 8
Solution- (b) 5
Reason: 3a +5b = 15
(3a+5b)²= (15)²
9a²+25b² + 30ab = 225
75 + 30ab = 225
30ab = 150
ab = 5.
Que-14: If l+m-n = 9 and l²+m²+n² = 31, then the value of mn+nl-lm is :
(a) -25 (b) 25 (c) -2 (d) -5
Solution- (a) -25
Reason: l2 + m2 + n2 = 31
l + m – n = 9
On squaring both sides,
(l + m – n)2 = 81
⇒ l2 + m2 + n2 + 2 (lm – mn – nl) = 81
⇒ 31 + 2(lm – mn – nl) = 81
⇒ 2(lm – mn – nl) = 81 – 31 = 50
⇒ mn + nl – lm = -50/2 = -25.
Que-15: If a-b+c = 6 and a²+b²+c² = 38, then the value of ab+bc-ca is :
(a) 0 (b) 1 (c) -1 (d) not possible
Solution- (b) 1
Reason: a−b+c = 6
a²+b²+c² = 38
We need to find the value of ab+bc−ca
First, square the first equation a−b+c = 6:
(a−b+c)² = 6²
a²−2ab+b²−2bc+c²+2ac = 36
This simplifies to:
a²+b²+c²−2(ab+bc−ca) = 36
We are given:
a²+b²+c² = 38
Substitute this into the equation:
38−2(ab+bc−ca) = 36
Now, solve for ab+bc−ca:
38−36 = 2(ab+bc−ca)
2 = 2(ab+bc−ca)
ab+bc−ca = 1.
