Answers & Solutions:

1) Answer (C)

it is given that $a^3 – b^3$ = 56

we know $a^3 – b^3 = (a-b)(a^2 + b^2 + ab)$

a- b = 2 (Given)

hence

$(a^2 + b^2 + ab)$ = $\frac{56}{2}$ = 28

2) Answer (B)

$x=2+\sqrt{3}$

$\frac{1}{x}=2-\sqrt{3}$

$(\sqrt{x} + \frac{1}{\sqrt{x}})^{2}$ = $x+\frac{1}{x}$ + 2

$(\sqrt{x} + \frac{1}{\sqrt{x}})^{2}$ = 4 + 2 = 6

$\sqrt{x} + \frac{1}{\sqrt{x}}$ = $\sqrt{6}$

so the answer is option B.

3) Answer (D)

it is given that

$2\sqrt{x} = \frac{\sqrt{5}+\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{5}-\sqrt{3}} – \frac{\sqrt{5}-\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{5}+\sqrt{3}}$

here , $\frac{\sqrt5+\sqrt3}{\sqrt5-\sqrt3}$ = $\frac{\sqrt{5}+\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{5}-\sqrt{3}}$ x $\frac{\sqrt{5}+\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{5}+\sqrt{3}}$ = $\frac{(\sqrt5 + \sqrt3)^2}{2}$

 

similarly , $\frac{\sqrt{5}-\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{5}+\sqrt{3}}$ = $\frac{\sqrt{5}-\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{5}+\sqrt{3}}$ x $\frac{\sqrt{5}-\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{5}-\sqrt{3}}$ = $\frac{(\sqrt5 – \sqrt3)^2}{2}$

$\frac{(\sqrt5 + \sqrt3)^2}{2}$ + $\frac{(\sqrt5 – \sqrt3)^2}{2}$ = 2$\sqrt(x)$

8 = 2$\sqrt(x)$

x = 16

 

4) Answer (C)

it is given that a + 1/a = 1

and we need to find value of $a^2 + \frac{1}{a^2}$

$a^2 + \frac{1}{a^2}$ = $(a + \frac{1}{a})^2$ – 2

= $1^2$ – 2 = -1

5) Answer (A)

it is given that

ax + by = 6……….(1)

bx – ay = 2……..(2)

and x^2 + y^2 = 4

now multiply 1 and 2nd equation by a and b respectively

we get

$a^2$x + $ab$y = 6a

$b^2$x – aby = 2b

adding above equations we get,

$a^2 + b^2$ x = 6a +2b

x = $\frac{6a+2b}{a^2 + b^2}$

Similarly ,

we get y = $\frac{6a-2b}{a^2 + b^2}$

putting above values in x^2 + y^2 = 4

we get , a = 1 and b = 3

hence $1^2 + 3^2$ = 10

6) Answer (B)

Give : $ a =\frac{\sqrt{3}-\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{3}+\sqrt{2}}$

=> $ a =\frac{\sqrt{3}-\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{3}+\sqrt{2}}\times(\frac{\sqrt3-\sqrt2}{\sqrt3-\sqrt2})$

=> $a=\frac{(\sqrt3-\sqrt2)^2}{3-2}$

=> $a=5-2\sqrt6$

Squaring both sides, we get : $a^2=49-20\sqrt6$

Similarly, $b=5+2\sqrt6$ and $b^2=49+20\sqrt6$

To find : $\frac{a^2}{b}+\frac{b^2}{a}$

= $\frac{a^3+b^3}{ab}=\frac{(a+b)(a^2+b^2-ab)}{ab}$

= $\frac{[(5-2\sqrt6)+(5+2\sqrt6)][(49-20\sqrt6)+(49+20\sqrt6)-(5-2\sqrt6)(5+2\sqrt6)]}{(5-2\sqrt6)(5+2\sqrt6)}$

= $\frac{10[49+49-(25-24)]}{25-24}$

= $10\times97=970$

=> Ans – (B)

7) Answer (C)

it is given that (5x^2 – 3y^2): xy = 11:2

let divide the numerator and denominator of left hand side of the given equation by y^2

we will get ,

$\frac{5( \frac{x}{y})^2 – 3}{\frac{x}{y}}$ = $\frac{11}{2}$

let $\frac{x}{y}$ = k

So, $\frac{5k^2-3}{k}$ = $\frac{11}{2}$

Solving this we get , k = $\frac{3}{2}$

hence $\frac{x}{y}$ = $\frac{3}{2}$

8) Answer (C)

$x=\frac{1}{2+\sqrt{3}}$ , on rationalizing x = 2 – $\surd3$

$y=\frac{1}{2-\sqrt{3}}$ , on rationalizing y = 2 + $\surd3$

we need to find value of $\frac{1}{x+1} + \frac{1}{y+1}$

using above values of x and y

$\frac{1}{x+1} + \frac{1}{y+1}$ = $\frac{1}{2 + \surd3 +1} + \frac{1}{2 – \surd3 +1}$

now on rationalizing ,

$\frac{1}{x+1} + \frac{1}{y+1}$ = $\frac{3 – \surd3 + 3 + \surd3}{6}$ = 1

9) Answer (A)

we need to find value of $\sqrt{-\sqrt{3}+\sqrt{3+8\sqrt{7+4\sqrt{3}}}}$

$\sqrt{7 + \sqrt3}$ = $\sqrt{2^2 + (\sqrt3)^2 + 2 \times 2 \times \sqrt3}$ = $2 + \sqrt3$

$\sqrt{3 + 4^2 + 2 \times 4 \times \sqrt3}$ = $4 + \sqrt3$

$\sqrt{-\surd3 + 4 + \surd3}$ = 2\

hence $\sqrt{-\sqrt{3}+\sqrt{3+8\sqrt{7+4\sqrt{3}}}}$ = 2

10) Answer (A)

given that

$\sqrt{4x-9}+\sqrt{4x+9}=5+\sqrt{7}$

$\sqrt{4x-9} – 5 = \sqrt{7} – \sqrt{4x+9}$

on squaring both sides

4x – 9 + 25 + 10$\sqrt{4x+9}$ = 7 + 4x + 9 – 2$\sqrt{28x+63}$

10$\sqrt{4x-9}$  = 2$\sqrt{28x+63}$

on squaring both sides again

400x – 900 = 112x + 252

288x = 1152

x = 4
