Start from the root of 169 then second root will reduce to 11, thrid root will reduce to 7, fourth root will reduce to 8, and finally it reduce to value 4

Expression : $\frac{(941+149)^{2}+(941-149)^{2}}{(941\times941+149\times149)}$

= $\frac{(941^2 + 149^2 + 2.941.149) + (941^2 + 149^2 – 2.941.149)}{941^2 + 149^2}$

= $\frac{2 * (941^2 + 149^2)}{941^2 + 149^2}$

= 2

Let $a =(2-\sqrt{3})$ and $b =(2 + \sqrt{3})$
$a^{2}= 7- 4\sqrt{3}$, and $b^{2}= 7+4\sqrt{3}$

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

$(a^{2}+1)(b^{2}+1)$ = $(8-4\sqrt{3})(8+4\sqrt{3})$ = $16(2-\sqrt{3})(2+\sqrt{3}) = 16$

$a^{2} + b^{2} +2= 16$
Thus $\frac{1}{a^{2}+1}+\frac{1}{b^{2}+1}=1$

Expression : $a^{2}+1=a$

=> $a^2 – a + 1 = 0$

Multiplying by $(a+1)$ on both sides

=> $(a+1)(a^2-a+1) = 0$

=> $a^3 + 1^3 = 0$

=> $a^3 = -1$

To find : $a^{12}+a^{6}+1$

= $(a^3)^4 + (a^3)^2 + 1$

= $(-1)^4 + (-1)^2 + 1$

= $1+1+1 = 3$

$a=\frac{2+\sqrt{3}}{2-\sqrt{3}}$ on rationalising we will get a = $(2 + \surd3)^2$

$b=\frac{2-\sqrt{3}}{2+\sqrt{3}}$ on rationalizing we will get b = $(2 – \surd3)^2$

now putting values of a and b in , $a^2+b^2+a \times b$

$a^2+b^2+a \times b$ = 195

Given : $x + \frac{1}{x} = 99$

To find : $\frac{100x}{2x^2 + 102x + 2}$

= $\frac{50x}{x^2 + 1 + 51x}$

Dividing numerator and denominator by $x$

= $\frac{50}{x + \frac{1}{x} + 51}$

Substituting value of $(x + \frac{1}{x})$, we get :

= $\frac{50}{99 + 51} = \frac{50}{150}$

= $\frac{1}{3}$

Expression 1 : $2x – 3 < 3x + 3$

=> $3x – 2x$ > $-3 – 3$

=> $x$ > $-6$ ———-(i)

Expression 2 : $2x – 2(4 – x) < 2x – 3$

=> $4x – 8$ < $2x – 3$

=> $4x – 2x$ < $8 – 3$

=> $x$ < $\frac{5}{2}$ ——(ii)

Combining inequalities (i) and (ii), we get : $-6$ < $x$ < $\frac{5}{2}$

Thus, only value that $x$ can take among the options = 2

=> Ans – (A)

Given : $\frac{x + y}{x – y} = \frac{5}{2}$

=> $2x + 2y = 5x – 5y$

=> $2y + 5y = 5x – 2x$ => $7y = 3x$

=> $y = \frac{3x}{7}$

To find : $\frac{4x + 5y}{x – 4y}$

= $[4x + 5(\frac{3x}{7})] \div [x – 4(\frac{3x}{7})]$

= $(4x + \frac{15x}{7}) \div (x – \frac{12x}{7})$

= $(\frac{43x}{7}) \div (\frac{-5x}{7})$

= $\frac{43x}{7} \times \frac{-7}{5x} = \frac{-43}{5}$

=> Ans – (C)

Sum of roots in an equation : $ax^2 + bx + c = 0$ is $-\frac{b}{a}$

(A) : $x^{2}-5x+6 = 0$

=> Sum of roots = $-\frac{-5}{1} = 5$

(B) : $x^{2}-6x-5 = 0$

=> Sum of roots = $-\frac{-6}{1} = 6$

(C) : $x^{2}+5x+6 = 0$

=> Sum of roots = $-\frac{5}{1} = -5$

(D) : $x^{2}+6x-5 = 0$

=> Sum of roots = $-\frac{6}{1} = -6$

=> Ans – (A)

Expression : $(2x + 5)^{2} \times (4x-1) – (3x^{3} -16x^{2} + 25x -21)$

= $[(4x^2 + 20x + 25) \times (4x – 1)] – (3x^3 – 16x^2 + 25x – 21)$

= $[(16x^3 – 4x^2) + (80x^2 – 20x) + (100x – 25)] + (-3x^3 + 16x^2 – 25x + 21)$

= $(16x^3 – 3x^3) + (80x^2 – 4x^2 + 16x^2) + (100x – 25x – 20x) + (-25 + 21)$

= $13x^3 + 92x^2 + 55x – 4$

Expression :  299996 x 300004

= (300000 – 4) x (300000 + 4)

= $(300000)^2 – (4)^2$

= 90000000000 – 16 = 89999999984

=> Ans – (A)

It is given that : $(a+b)=8$ and $ab=15$

Using the expression, $(a^3+b^3)=(a+b)(a^2+b^2-ab)$

= $(8)(a^2+b^2-15)$

Also, $(a^2+b^2)=(a+b)^2-2ab$

= $8[((a+b)^2-2ab)-15]$

= $8[(8^2-(2 \times 15))-15]$

= $8(64-30-15) = 8 \times 19$

= $152$

=> Ans – (C)

Expression 1 : 3x + 5(4 – 3x) > 2 – 4x

=> $3x+20-15x$ > $2-4x$

=> $12x-4x$ < $20-2$

=> $8x$ < $18$

=> $x$ < $\frac{9}{4}$ ———–(i)

Expression 2 : 2 – 4x < 3x – x/3

=> $4x+3x-\frac{x}{3}$ > $2$

=> $\frac{20x}{3}$ > $2$

=> $x$ > $\frac{3}{10}$ ———-(ii)

Combining inequalities (i) and (ii), we get : $\frac{3}{10}$ < $x$ < $\frac{9}{4}$

The only value that $x$ can take among the options = 2

=> Ans – (C)

Expression : $(b^{5}x^{2}a^{3}z^{4})*(b^{3}x^{2}a^{4}z^{5}) / (a^{2}b^{3}z^{2})$

= $(a)^{3+4}(b)^{5+3}(x)^{2+2}(z)^{4+5} \div a^2b^3z^2$

= $a^7b^8x^4z^9 \div a^2b^3z^2$

= $(a)^{7-2}(b)^{8-3}(x)^4(z)^{9-2}$

= $a^5b^5x^4z^7$

=> Ans – (B)

Given : $(x^2 + y^2) = 113$ and $xy = 56$

Using $(x + y)^2 = x^2 + y^2 + 2xy$

=> $(x + y)^2 = 113 + (2 \times 56)$

=> $(x + y)^2 = 113 + 112 = 225$

=> $(x + y) = \sqrt{225} = 15$

=> Ans – (D)
