Answers & Solutions:
1) Answer (C)
For any given number, that can be represented as $ A^{x} \times B ^ {y} $, etc
The number of factors is denoted by (x+1) x ( y+1), etc
360 = $ 2 ^ {3} \times 3 ^ {2} \times 5^ {1}$
So the number of factors = (3 +1) x (2+ 1) (1+ 1) = 4x3x2 = 24
For 240, it is $ 2 ^ {4} \times 3 ^ {1} \times 5^ {1}$
Number of factors = 5 x 2 x 2 = 20 only
2) Answer (A)
Given , 3 (a^{2} + b^{2} + c^{2} ) = (a + b + c)^{2}
3 (a^{2} + b^{2} + c^{2} )=3 (a^{2} + b^{2} + c^{2}) +2[ab+bc+ca]
2 (a^{2} + b^{2} + c^{2} )= +2[ab+bc+ca]
(a^{2} + b^{2} + c^{2} )= [ab+bc+ca]
(a^{2} -ab) + (b^{2} -bc) + (c^{2} -ca) = 0
a(a-b) + b(b-c) + c(c-a) = 0
This is only possible when a=b=c .
3) Answer (C)
$(x-3)^2+(y-5)^2+(z-4)^2=0$
Since square values are always positive or equal to zero, x must be 3, y must be 5 and 4 must be 4.
Substituting these values in $\frac{x^2}{9}+\frac{y^2}{25}+\frac{z^2}{16}$, we get the value as 1+1+1 = 3.
Option C is the right answer.
4) Answer (B)
$(x+\frac{1}{x})=4$
squaring both sides
$x^{2}+\frac{1}{x^2} +2*x*\frac{1}{x}$ = 16
$x^{2}+\frac{1}{x^2}$ = 16-2 = 14
again squaring both sides
$x^{4}+\frac{1}{x^4} +2*x^{2}*\frac{1}{x^2}$= 196
$x^{4}+\frac{1}{x^4}$ = 196 – 2 = 194
5) Answer (D)
Expression : $\frac{5x}{2x^2+5x+1}=\frac{1}{3}$
=> $2x^2 + 5x + 1 = 15x$
=> $2x^2 + 1 = 10x$
To find : $(x+\frac{1}{2x})$
= $\frac{2x^2 + 1}{2x}$
= $\frac{10x}{2x}$
= 5

6) 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
7) Answer (B)
Let the third number be x. So, the first number is .7x
The second number is .63x
So, the second number is less than the first number by .7 ie 10% of the first number.
8) Answer (C)
$a^2 + \frac{1}{a^2} = 7$
Addition 2 in both sides of equation.
$a^2 + \frac{1}{a^2} + 2 = 7+2$
$a^2 + \frac{1}{a^2} + 2 = 9$ Eq.(1)
Eq.(1) is making the formula of $(a+\frac{1}{a})^{2}$.
After removing the square got $(a+\frac{1}{a}) = \pm 3$
In question, it is mentioned that value of a is positive.
So $(a+\frac{1}{a}) = 3$ Eq.(2)
In Eq.(2) apply formula $(a+\frac{1}{a})^{3}$.
So $(a+\frac{1}{a})^{3} = a^{3} + (\frac{1}{a})^{3} + 3 \times a \times (\frac{1}{a}) [a + \frac{1}{a}]$
$(a+\frac{1}{a})^{3} = a^{3} + (\frac{1}{a})^{3} + 3[a + \frac{1}{a}]$ Eq.(3)
Put Eq.(2) in Eq.(3).
$(3)^{3} = a^{3} + (\frac{1}{a})^{3} + 3\times3$
$27 = a^{3} + (\frac{1}{a})^{3} + 9$
$27-9 = a^{3} + (\frac{1}{a})^{3}$
$18 = a^{3} + (\frac{1}{a})^{3}$
$a^{3} + (\frac{1}{a})^{3} = 18$
