  1. If 20.014 × 0.14x = 0.014 × 0.142y, find the value of x/y .









  1. View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum

    20.014 × 0.14x
    = 0.014 × 0.14  2y
    On squaring both sides,
    0.014 × 0.14x
    = (0.014)2 × (0.14)2 × y

    ∴ 
    x
    = 0.014 × 0.14 = 0.00196
    y

    Correct Option: B

    20.014 × 0.14x
    = 0.014 × 0.14  2y
    On squaring both sides,
    0.014 × 0.14x
    = (0.014)2 × (0.14)2 × y

    ∴ 
    x
    = 0.014 × 0.14 = 0.00196
    y

  1. The value of
    (2.697 − 0.498)2 + (2.697 + 0.498)2
    is
    2.697 × 2.697 + 0.498 × 0.498









  1. View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum

    Let 2.697 =a and 0.498 = b

    ∴  Expression =
    (a − b)2 + (a + b)2
    a2 + b2

    =
    2(a2 + b2)
    = 2
    a2 + b2

    Correct Option: B

    Let 2.697 =a and 0.498 = b

    ∴  Expression =
    (a − b)2 + (a + b)2
    a2 + b2

    =
    2(a2 + b2)
    = 2
    a2 + b2


  1. 8(3.75)3 + 1
    is equal to
    (7.5)2 − 6.5

    Expression =
    8(3.75)3 + 1
    (7.5)2 − 6.5

    =
    (2 × 3.75)3 + 1
    (7.5)2 − 7.5 × 1 + 12

    =
    (7.5)3 + 1
    (7.5)2 − 7.5 × 1 + 12

    [a3 + b3 = (a + b)(a2 − ab + b2 )]
    = 7.5 + 1 = 8.5

    Correct Option: D

    Expression =
    8(3.75)3 + 1
    (7.5)2 − 6.5

    =
    (2 × 3.75)3 + 1
    (7.5)2 − 7.5 × 1 + 12

    =
    (7.5)3 + 1
    (7.5)2 − 7.5 × 1 + 12

    [a3 + b3 = (a + b)(a2 − ab + b2 )]
    = 7.5 + 1 = 8.5

    =
    (0.5)3 + (0.3)3
    (0.5)2 − 0.5 × 0.3 + (0.3)2

    Let 0.5 = a ,and 0.3 = b
    ∴  Expression =
    a3 + b3
    a2 − ab + b2

    =
    (a + b)(a2 − ab + b2)
    a2 − ab + b2

    = a + b = 0.5 + 0.3 = 0.8

    Correct Option: D

    =
    (0.5)3 + (0.3)3
    (0.5)2 − 0.5 × 0.3 + (0.3)2

    Let 0.5 = a ,and 0.3 = b
    ∴  Expression =
    a3 + b3
    a2 − ab + b2

    =
    (a + b)(a2 − ab + b2)
    a2 − ab + b2

    = a + b = 0.5 + 0.3 = 0.8
