let the number be xy
Given x+y=11
10y+x-(10x+y)=63
9(y-x)=63
y-x=7
2y=18
y=9
x=2
Required number is 29

let the number be xy
Given x+y=7
10y+x-(10x+y)=27
9(y-x)=27
y-x=3
2y=10
y=5
x=2
Required number is 25

Given, $a+b=0$
$a^3+b^3$ can be written as
$a^3+b^3=(a+b)(a^2-ab+b^2)$
⇒ $a^3+b^3=0*( a^2-ab+b^2)$
⇒ $a^3+b^3=0$

$1+\dfrac{1}{1+\dfrac{1}{1+\dfrac{1}{1+\dfrac{7}{3}}}} = 1+\dfrac{1}{1+\dfrac{1}{1+\dfrac{1}{\dfrac{10}{3}}}}$

$= 1+\dfrac{1}{1+\dfrac{1}{1+\dfrac{3}{10}}}$

$= 1+\dfrac{1}{1+\dfrac{1}{\dfrac{13}{10}}}$

$= 1+\dfrac{1}{1+\dfrac{10}{13}}$

$= 1+\dfrac{1}{\dfrac{23}{13}}$

$= 1+\dfrac{13}{23}$

$= \dfrac{36}{23}$

let the cost of gift be x
54x=((x-4)*60)+18
54x=60x-240+18
6x=222
x=37
If x=37 total money with him is 54*37=Rs 1998

let the number be x
(x+12)/19=9
x=171-12
x=159
And then (159-40)=119
119/17 we get 0 as the remainder.

We know that $x^3 + y^3 + z^3 -3xyz = (x+y+z)(x^2 + y^2 +z^2 -xy -yz -zx)$
Now, $(x+y+z)^2 = x^2 + y^2 + z^2 + 2(xy + yz + xz)$
=> $x^2 + y^2 +z^2 -xy -yz -zx = (x+y+z)^2 – 3(xy+yz+zx)$
=> $x^3 + y^3 + z^3 -3xyz = (x+y+z)[ (x+y+z)^2 – 3(xy+yz+zx)] = 20 [400 – 30] = 20 \times 370 = 7400$

Given $x+\dfrac{1}{x} = 3$
Cubing on both sides

$(x+\dfrac{1}{x})^3 = 3^3$

$x^3+\dfrac{1}{x^3}+3\times x \times \dfrac{1}{x}(x+\dfrac{1}{x}) = 27$

⇒ $x^3+\dfrac{1}{x^3}+3\times3 = 27$

⇒ $x^3+\dfrac{1}{x^3}+9 = 27$

⇒ $x^3+\dfrac{1}{x^3} = 18$

$1+\dfrac{1}{1+\dfrac{1}{1+\dfrac{1}{1+\dfrac{5}{4}}}} = 1+\dfrac{1}{1+\dfrac{1}{1+\dfrac{1}{\dfrac{9}{4}}}}$

$= 1+\dfrac{1}{1+\dfrac{1}{1+\dfrac{4}{9}}}$

$= 1+\dfrac{1}{1+\dfrac{1}{\dfrac{13}{9}}}$

$= 1+\dfrac{1}{1+\dfrac{9}{13}}$

$= 1+\dfrac{1}{\dfrac{22}{13}}$

$= 1+\dfrac{13}{22}$

$= \dfrac{35}{22}$

7/2(2x/3 – 1/2) + 11/2 = 2x/3
7x/3 – 7/4 + 11/2 = 2x/3
7x/3 – 2x/3 = 7/4 – 11/2
5x/3 = -15/4
x = -9/4
1/x = -4/9
So the answer is option B.

Given, $a+\frac{1}{a} = 5$

Squaring on both sides
$(a+\frac{1}{a})^2 = 5^2$

$a^2+\frac{1}{a^2}+2\times a\times\frac{1}{a} = 25$

$a^2+\frac{1}{a^2}+2 = 25$

$a^2+\frac{1}{a^2} = 23$

$1+\dfrac{1}{1+\dfrac{1}{1+\dfrac{1}{1+\dfrac{1}{3}}}}$

$= 1+\dfrac{1}{1+\dfrac{1}{1+\dfrac{1}{\dfrac{4}{3}}}}$

$= 1+\dfrac{1}{1+\dfrac{1}{1+\frac{3}{4}}}$

$= 1+\dfrac{1}{1+\dfrac{1}{\dfrac{7}{4}}}$

$= 1+\dfrac{1}{1+\dfrac{4}{7}}$

$= 1+\dfrac{1}{\dfrac{11}{7}}$

$= 1+\dfrac{7}{11} = \dfrac{18}{11}$

$5 = 40-12x+x^2$

$x^2-12x+35 = 0$

$x^2-7x-5x+35 = 0$

$x(x-7)-5(x-7) = 0$

$(x-7)(x-5) = 0$

$x = 7$ or $x = 5$

So the answer is option C.

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

So the answer is option B.

$5x^2-13x-6 = 0$

$5x^2-15x+2x-6 = 0$

$5x(x-3)+2(x-3) = 0$

$(x-3)(5x+2) = 0$

$x = 3 (or) x = -2/5$

So the answer is option D.

$(x+y+z)^2$ = $x^2+y^2+z^2+2(xy+yz+zx)$

$(9)^2$ = $x^2+y^2+z^2+2(18)$

$81$ = $x^2+y^2+z^2+2(18)$

$x^2+y^2+z^2 = 81-36 = 45$

So the answer is option B.

$(a+b+c)(a+2b-c)$

=$a^2+2ab-ac+ab+2b^2-bc+ac+2bc-c^2$

=$a^2+2b^2-c^2+3ab+bc$

So the answer is option A.

$b+1/b = 6$

Squaring on both sides

$(b+1/b)^2 = 36$

$b^2+1/b^2 +2 = 36$

$b^2+1/b^2 = 36-2 = 34$

So the answer is option D.

$x+1/x = 2$

squaring on both sides

$(x+1/x)^2 = 4$

$x^2+1/x^2+2 = 4$

$x^2+1/x^2 = 2$

squaring on both sides

$(x^2+1/x^2)^2 = 4$

$x^4+1/x^4+2 = 4$

$x^4+1/x^4 = 2$

So the answer is option D.

A sheep has 4 legs and hen has 2 legs

4x+2y = 36 ===> 2x+y = 18—-(1)

x+y = 14 —-(2)

(1)-(2) ==> 2x+y-x-y = 18-14 = 4

So the answer is option A.

Let the fraction be 1/x

$4(1/x)+x = 4$

$4+x^2 = 4x$

$x^2-4x+4 = 0$

$(x-2)^2 = 0$

$x-2 = 0$

$x = 2$

Hence the fraction is 1/x = 1/2

So the answer is option D.

$(a+b+c)^2$= $a^2+b^2+c^2+2(ab+bc+ca)$

$(4\sqrt3)^2 = 24 + 2(ab+bc+ca)$

$48 = 24 + 2(ab+bc+ca)$

$24 = 2(ab+bc+ca)$

$(ab+bc+ca) = \frac{24}{2} = 12$

So the answer is option A.

[4x-1/4]3 = x + 4/3

12x – 3/4 = x + 4/3

11x =4/3 + 3/4

11x = 25/12

x = 25/132

So the answer is option C.

$(a+b)^3 = 27 \rightarrow a+b = 3$

$(a-b)^2 = 1 \rightarrow a-b = \pm 1$

If $a-b = -1$, & $a+b = 3$, then $a = 1$ & $b = 2$

If $a-b = +1$, & $a+b = 3$, then $a = 2$ & $b = 1$

So we can’t find exact values of $a$ & $b$

So the answer is option D.
