  1. View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum

    L. C. M of 3, 4, 5, 6, 8 is 120
    Now, 120 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 5

    Correct Option: D

    L. C. M of 3, 4, 5, 6, 8 is 120
    Now, 120 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 5
    ∴ Required number = (2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 5) x (2 x 3 x 5)
    = 3600


  1. If a = (√5 + 1) / (√5 - 1) and b = (√5 - 1) / ( √5 + 1) then the value of (a2 + ab + b2) / (a2 - ab + b2) is ?

    a = [(√5 + 1) / (√5-1)] x [(√5 + 1) / (√5 + 1)]
    = (√5 + 1)2 / (5 - 1)
    = (5 + 1 + 2 √5) / 4
    = (3 + √5) / 2

    b = [(√5 - 1) / (√5 + 1)] x [(√5 - 1 ) / (√5 -1)]
    = (√5 - 1 )2 / (5 - 1)
    = (5 + 1 - 2√5) / 4
    = (3 - √5) / 2

    Now a2 + b2 = [(3 + √5)2 + (3 - √5)2] / 4
    = [2 x (9 + 5 )] / 4
    = 7

    ab = 1

    Correct Option: B

    a = [(√5 + 1) / (√5-1)] x [(√5 + 1) / (√5 + 1)]
    = (√5 + 1)2 / (5 - 1)
    = (5 + 1 + 2 √5) / 4
    = (3 + √5) / 2

    b = [(√5 - 1) / (√5 + 1)] x [(√5 - 1 ) / (√5 -1)]
    = (√5 - 1 )2 / (5 - 1)
    = (5 + 1 - 2√5) / 4
    = (3 - √5) / 2

    Now a2 + b2 = [(3 + √5)2 + (3 - √5)2] / 4
    = [2 x (9 + 5 )] / 4
    = 7

    ab = 1

    ∴ (a2 + ab + b2) / (a2 - ab + b2)
    = (7 + 1) / (7 - 1)
    = 8/6
    = 4 / 3



  1. (√5 - √3)/ (√5 + √3) is equal to ?









  1. View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum

    (√5 - √3)/ (√5 + √3)
    = (√5 - √3) / (√5 + √3)
    = (√5 - √3)2 / (5 - 3)
    = (5 + 3 - 2√5 x 3) / 2
    = 2 (4 - √15) / 2
    = (4 - √15)

    Correct Option: B

    (√5 - √3)/ (√5 + √3)
    = (√5 - √3) / (√5 + √3)
    = (√5 - √3)2 / (5 - 3)
    = (5 + 3 - 2√5 x 3) / 2
    = 2 (4 - √15) / 2
    = (4 - √15)


  1. The least number by which 216 must be divided to make the result a perfect square is ?









  1. View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum

    216 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 3
    = (2 x 2) x 2 x ( 3 x 3) x 3

    Clearly, in order to make it a perfect square, it must be divided by 2 x 3 i.e., 6 .

    Correct Option: C

    216 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 3
    = (2 x 2) x 2 x ( 3 x 3) x 3

    Clearly, in order to make it a perfect square, it must be divided by 2 x 3 i.e., 6 .



  1. 0.04 x 0.4 x a = 0.4 x 0.04 x √b, then the value of a/b is ?









  1. View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum

    0.04 x 0.4 x a = 0.4 x 0.04 x √b
    ⇒ √0.016 a = 0.016 x √b
    ⇒ √a / √b = 0.016/√0.016 = √0.016

    Correct Option: A

    0.04 x 0.4 x a = 0.4 x 0.04 x √b
    ⇒ √0.016 a = 0.016 x √b
    ⇒ √a / √b = 0.016/√0.016 = √0.016
    ∴ √a/b = √0.016
    So a/b = 0.016
