Answers & Solutions:

1) Answer (A)

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

2) Answer (A)

For 3*5 put a=3 and b=5 in given equation
and for 5*3 put a=5 and b=3 in equation
now add both values

3) Answer (A)

Put a=5 and b=3 in given equation
hence it will be $5^{3}$ = 125

4) Answer (A)

x = 1+ $\sqrt {2} + \sqrt {3} $
$(x-1)^{2}$ = $(\sqrt {2} + \sqrt {3}) ^ {2} $
$x^{2} +1 – 2x = 5 + 2 \sqrt {6}$
$x^{2} – 2x = 4 + 2 \sqrt {6}$ ( eq. (1) )
$(x^{2} – 2x)^{2} = x^{4} + 4x^{2} – 4x^{3} = 40 + 16\sqrt{6} $ eq (2)
Now in $2x^{4} – 8x^{3} – 5x^{2} + 26x – 28 $
or $2(x^{4} – 4x^{3}) – 5x^{2} + 26x – 28 $ ( putting values from eq (1) and eq (2) )
After solving we will get it reduced to $6\sqrt{6}$

5) Answer (B)

Given $a^2+b^2+ c^2=2(a-2b-c-3)$,

So, $(a-1)^2+(b+2)^2+(c-1)^2=0$

Hence, a=1, b=-2 and c=1

So, the sum of the equation is

6) Answer (A)

Given equation can be reduced in the form of $10\sqrt2 + 3\sqrt2 – 6\sqrt2 = 7\sqrt2$
Hence  $7\sqrt2$ will be around 9.898

7) Answer (C)

shortcut :

put c = 0 in  $a^{3}-b^{3}-c^{3}=0$ $\Rightarrow$ $a^{3}=b^{3}$

$a^{9}-b^{9}-(0)^{9}-3a^{3} b^{3} (0)^{3}$ = $a^{9}-b^{9}$ = $(a^{3})^{3}-(b^{3})^{3}$ =  $(a)^{3}-(a)^{3}$ = 0  ( $\because$ $a^{3}=b^{3}$ )

so the answer is option C.

normal method :

$a^{3}-b^{3}-c^{3}=0$

$a^{3}=b^{3}+c^{3}$

cubing on both sides,

$(a^{3})^{3}=(b^{3}+c^{3})^{3}$

$a^{9}=b^{9}+c^{9}+3b^{3} c^{3}(b^{3}+c^{3})$

$a^{9}=b^{9}+c^{9}+3b^{3} c^{3}(a^{3})$

$a^{9}-b^{9}-c^{9}-3a^{3}b^{3} c^{3}=0$

so the answer is option C.

8) Answer (A)

Expression : $\frac{p^2}{q^2}+\frac{q^2}{p^2}$ = 1

=> $\frac{p^{4}+q^{4}}{p^2q^2}$ = 1

=> $p^4+q^4 = p^2q^2$ ————–Eqn(1)

Now, to find : $(p^{6}+q^{6})$

=> $(p^2)^3 + (q^2)^3$

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

=> $(p^2+q^2)(p^4+q^4-p^2q^2)$

From eqn (1), we get :

=> $(p^2+q^2)(p^2q^2-p^2q^2)$

=> $(p^2+q^2)*0$

= 0

9) Answer (A)

If $(m+1) = \sqrt{n}+3$

=> $m-2 = \sqrt{n}$ ————–Eqn(1)

to find : $\frac{1}{2}(\frac{m^{3}-6m^{2}+12m-8}{\sqrt{n}}-n)$

$\because (m-2)^3 = m^{3}-6m^{2}+12m-8$

=> $\frac{1}{2}(\frac{(m-2)^3}{\sqrt{n}}-n)$

Using eqn(1), we get :

=> $\frac{1}{2}(\frac{(\sqrt{n})^3}{\sqrt{n}}-n)$

=> $\frac{1}{2}(n-n)$

= 0

10) Answer (A)

If $x=\frac{a-b}{a+b}$

=> $(1-x) = 1- (\frac{a-b}{a+b})$

=> $(1-x) = \frac{2b}{a+b}$

Similarly, $(1+x) = \frac{2a}{a+b}$

Applying the same method, we get :

=> $(1-y) = \frac{2c}{b+c}$ and => $(1+y) = \frac{2b}{b+c}$

=> $(1-z) = \frac{2a}{c+a}$ and => $(1+z) = \frac{2c}{c+a}$

Putting above values in the equation : $\frac{(1-x)(1-y)(1-z)}{(1+x)(1+y)(1+z)}$

=> $\frac{(\frac{2b}{a+b})(\frac{2c}{b+c})(\frac{2a}{c+a})}{(\frac{2a}{a+b})(\frac{2b}{b+c})(\frac{2c}{c+a})}$

=> $\frac{2a*2b*2c}{2a*2b*2c}$

= 1

11) Answer (C)

$\frac{\sqrt{7}-1}{\sqrt{7}+1}-\frac{\sqrt{7}+1}{\sqrt{7}-1}=a+\sqrt{7} b$

L.H.S. = $\frac{\sqrt{7}-1}{\sqrt{7}+1}-\frac{\sqrt{7}+1}{\sqrt{7}-1}$

= $\frac{(\sqrt{7}-1)^2 – (\sqrt{7}+1)^2}{(\sqrt{7}-1)(\sqrt{7}+1)}$

= $\frac{(7+1-2\sqrt{7})-(7+1+2\sqrt{7})}{7-1}$

= $\frac{-4\sqrt{7}}{6}$

= $\frac{-2\sqrt{7}}{3}$

Now, comparing with R.H.S. $a+\sqrt{7} b$

we get,

$a=0$ and $b=\frac{-2}{3}$

12) Answer (A)

We are given that m = -4 and n = -2

Expression : $m^3 – 3m^2 + 3m + 3n + 3n^2 + n^3$

= $(m^3 – 3m^2 + 3m – 1) + (n^3 + 3n^2 + 3n + 1)$

= $(m-1)^3 + (n+1)^3$

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

= $(-5)^3 + (-1)^3$

= $-125 – 1 = -126$

13) Answer (C)

Expression : $x+\frac{1}{x}=1$

=> $x^2 + 1 = x$ ——Eqn(1)

To find : $\frac{x^2+3x+1}{x^2+7x+1}$

= $\frac{(x^2+1) + 3x}{(x^2+1) + 7x}$

Using eqn(1),we get :

= $\frac{x + 3x}{x + 7x} = \frac{4}{8}$

= $\frac{1}{2}$

14) Answer (D)

$x=\sqrt{a^3\sqrt{b}\sqrt{a^3}\sqrt{b}}$.

here we know that $\sqrt{b} \times \sqrt{b}$ = b

and $\sqrt{a^3} = a\sqrt{a}$

hence,$x=\sqrt{a^3\sqrt{b}\sqrt{a^3}\sqrt{b}}$ = $a^2\sqrt b\sqrt[4]{a}$

15) Answer (D)

Since $\sqrt[3]{79507}$ = 43

=> $\sqrt[3]{79.507}$ = 4.3

=> $\sqrt[3]{0.079507}$ = 0.43

=> $\sqrt[3]{0.000079507}$ = 0.043

=> 4.3+0.43+0.043 = 4.773

16) Answer (D)

Let $x = 3k$ and $y = 4k$

=> $\frac{2x + 3y}{3y – 2x}$

= $\frac{6k + 12k}{12k – 6k}$

= $\frac{18}{6}$

= $\frac{3}{1}$ = 3 : 1

17) Answer (C)

Using the formula, $(x-y)^3 = x^3 – y^3 -3xy(x-y)$

=> $(m – 5n)^3 = m^3 – 125n^3 – 15mn(m-5n)$

=> $2^3 = m^3 – 125n^3 – 15mn*2$

=> $m^3 – 125n^3 – 30mn = 8$

18) Answer (A)

Expression : $x+\frac{1}{x}=2$

Squaring both sides

=> $x^2 + \frac{1}{x^2} + 2 = 4$

=> $x^2 + \frac{1}{x^2} = 2$

Cubing both sides

=> $x^6 + \frac{1}{x^6} + 3.x.\frac{1}{x}(x+\frac{1}{x}) = 8$

=> $x^6 + \frac{1}{x^6} = 8-6 = 2$

Again, squaring both sides, we get :

=> $x^{12} + \frac{1}{x^{12}} + 2 = 4$

=> $x^{12} + \frac{1}{x^{12}} = 2$

19) Answer (B)

Expression : $5x + 9y = 5$

Cubing both sides, we get :

=> $(5x + 9y)^3 = 125$

=> $125x^3 + 729y^3 + 135xy(5x+9y) = 125$

=> $125x^3 + 729y^3 + 135xy*5 = 125$

Since, $125x^{3}$ + $729y^{3} = 120$

=> $xy = \frac{5}{5*135} = \frac{1}{135}$

20) Answer (B)

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
