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

Question 3: If $(x – 8)^3 + (2x + 16)^3 + (2x – 13)^3 = 3 (x – 8) (2x + 16) (2x – 13 )$, then what is the value of $x$ ?

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 $a+b+c=0$

$=$> $\left(x-8\right)+\left(2x+16\right)+\left(2x-13\right)=0$

$=$> $5x-5=0$

$=$> $x=\frac{5}{5}$

$=$> $x=1$

Hence, the correct option is Option A

a) 3.6

b) -3.6

c) 2.4

d) -2.4

4) 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 $a+b+c=0$

$=$>  $\left(x+7\right)+\left(2x+8\right)+\left(2x+3\right)=0$

$=$>  $5x+18=0$

$=$>  $x=\frac{-18}{5}$

$=$>  $x=-3.6$

Hence, the correct option is Option B

a) 2

b) 5

c) 4

d) 3

5) Answer (D)

Solution:

The best way to solve such questions is by substituting the options given :

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.
