Question 1: If $a^3 – b^3 = 899 and a – b = 31$, then $(a – b)^2 + 3ab$ is equal to:
a) 31
b) 35
c) 16
d) 29
1) Answer (D)
Solution:
Given, $a^3-b^3=899$ and $a-b=31$
$=$> $\left(a-b\right)\left(a^2+ab+b^2\right)=899$
$=$> $31\left(a^2+ab+b^2-2ab+2ab\right)=899$
$=$> $\left(a-b\right)^2+3ab=\frac{899}{31}$
$=$> $\left(a-b\right)^2+3ab=29$
Hence, the correct answer is Option D
Question 2: If $(x – 7)^3 + (2x + 8)^3 + (2x – 3)^3 = 3 (x — 7) (2x + 8) (2x — 3)$, then what is the value of $x$ ?
a) 1.6
b) 0.4
c) 2.4
d) 1.2
2) Answer (B)
Solution:
Given, $(x – 7)^3 + (2x + 8)^3 + (2x – 3)^3 = 3 (x — 7) (2x + 8) (2x — 3)$
$=$> $(x – 7)^3 + (2x + 8)^3 + (2x – 3)^3 – 3 (x — 7) (2x + 8) (2x — 3)=0$
We know that if $a^3+b^3+c^3-3abc=0$ then $a+b+c=0$
$=$> $\left(x-7\right)+\left(2x+8\right)+\left(2x-3\right)=0$
$=$> $5x-2=0$
$=$> $x=\frac{2}{5}$
$=$> $x=0.4$
Hence, the correct option is Option B

a) 1
b) -1
c) 0
d) 0.7
3) Answer (A)
Solution:
Given, $(x-8)^3+(2x+16)^3+(2x-13)^3 = 3(x-8)(2x+16)(2x-13)$
$=$> $(x-8)^3+(2x+16)^3+(2x-13)^3-3(x-8)(2x+16)(2x-13)=0$
We know that if $a^3+b^3+c^3-3abc=0$ then $a+b+c=0$
$=$> $\left(x-8\right)+\left(2x+16\right)+\left(2x-13\right)=0$

Instructions
In the following questions two equations numbered I and II are given. You have to solve both the equations and
Give answer a: if x > y
Give answer b: if x ≥ y
Give answer c: if x < y
Give answer d: if x ≤ y
Give answer e: if x = y or the relationship cannot be established.
Question 6: I. $2x^{2}+21x+10=0$
II. $3y^{2}+13y+14=0$
a) if x > y
b) if x ≥ y
c) if x < y
d) if x ≤ y
e) if x = y or the relationship cannot be established.
6) Answer (E)
Solution:
I.$2x^{2} + 21x + 10 = 0$
=> $2x^2 + x + 20x + 10 = 0$
=> $x (2x + 1) + 10 (2x + 1) = 0$
=> $(x + 10) (2x + 1) = 0$
=> $x = -10 , \frac{-1}{2}$
II.$3y^{2} + 13y + 14 = 0$
=> $3y^2 + 6y + 7y + 14 = 0$
=> $3y (y + 2) + 7 (y + 2) = 0$
=> $(y + 2) (3y + 7) = 0$
=> $y = -2 , \frac{-7}{3}$
$\therefore$ No relation can be established.
Question 7: I. $3x^{2}+10x+8=0$
II. $3y^{2}+7y+4=0$
a) if x > y
b) if x ≥ y
c) if x < y
d) if x ≤ y
e) if x = y or the relationship cannot be established.
7) Answer (D)
Solution:
I.$3x^{2} + 10x + 8 = 0$
=> $3x^2 + 6x + 4x + 8 = 0$
=> $3x (x + 2) + 4 (x + 2) = 0$
=> $(x + 2) (3x + 4) = 0$
=> $x = -2 , \frac{-4}{3}$
II.$3y^{2} + 7y + 4 = 0$
=> $3y^2 + 3y + 4y + 4 = 0$
=> $3y (y + 1) + 4 (y + 1) = 0$
=> $(y + 1) (3y + 4) = 0$
=> $y = -1 , \frac{-4}{3}$
$\therefore x \leq y$
Question 8: I. $2x^{2}-11x+12=0$
II. $2y^{2}-19y+44=0$
a) if x > y
b) if x ≥ y
c) if x < y
d) if x ≤ y
e) if x = y or the relationship cannot be established.
8) Answer (D)
Solution:
I.$2x^{2} – 11x + 12 = 0$
=> $2x^2 – 8x – 3x + 12 = 0$
=> $2x (x – 4) – 3 (x – 4) = 0$
=> $(x – 4) (2x – 3) = 0$
=> $x = 4 , \frac{3}{2}$
II.$2y^{2} – 19y + 44 = 0$
=> $2y^2 – 8y – 11y + 44 = 0$
=> $2y (y – 4) – 11 (y – 4) = 0$
=> $(y – 4) (2y – 11) = 0$
=> $y = 4 , \frac{11}{2}$
$\therefore x \leq y$
Question 9: I. $5x^{2}+29x+20=0$
II. $25y^{2}+25y+6=0$
a) if x > y
b) if x ≥ y
c) if x < y
d) if x ≤ y
e) if x = y or the relationship cannot be established.
9) Answer (C)
Solution:
I.$5x^{2} + 29x + 20 = 0$
=> $5x^2 + 25x + 4x + 20 = 0$
=> $5x (x + 5) + 4 (x + 5) = 0$
=> $(x + 5) (5x + 4) = 0$
=> $x = -5 , \frac{-4}{5}$
II.$25y^{2} + 25y + 6 = 0$
=> $25y^2 + 10y + 15y + 6 = 0$
=> $5y (5y + 2) + 3 (5y + 2) = 0$
=> $(5y + 3) (5y + 2) = 0$
=> $y = \frac{-3}{5} , \frac{-2}{5}$
Therefore $x < y$
Question 10: I. $x^{2}-3x-88=0$
II. $y^{2}+8y-48=0$
a) if x > y
b) if x ≥ y
c) if x < y
d) if x ≤ y
e) if x = y or the relationship cannot be established.
10) Answer (E)
Solution:
I.$x^{2} – 3x – 88 = 0$
=> $x^2 + 8x – 11x – 88 = 0$
=> $x (x + 8) – 11 (x + 8) = 0$
=> $(x + 8) (x – 11) = 0$
=> $x = -8 , 11$
II.$y^{2} + 8y – 48 = 0$
=> $y^2 + 12y – 4y – 48 = 0$
=> $y (y + 12) – 4 (y + 12) = 0$
=> $(y + 12) (y – 4) = 0$
=> $y = -12 , 4$
$\therefore$ No relation can be established.
