If $a + b = 10$ and $ab = 16,$ find the value of $a^2 - ab + b^2$ and $a^2 + ab + b^2$
- ✓
$52, 84$
- B
$54, 82$
- C
$52, 48$
- D
$56, 86$
AnswerCorrect option: A. $52, 84$
Given,
$\Rightarrow a+b=10 \Rightarrow a b=16 $
$ \Rightarrow(a+b)^2=a^2+b^2+2 a b $
$ \Rightarrow 10^2=a^2+b^2+2(16) $
$ \therefore a^2+b^2=68 $
$ \Rightarrow a^2+b^2+a b=68+16=84 $
$ \Rightarrow a^2+b^2-a b=68-16=52$

- ✓
$2x^3 + x^2 - 3x + 14$
- B
$2x^2 + x^2 + 14$
- C
$2x^3 + x^2 - 6x - 14$
- D
AnswerCorrect option: A. $2x^3 + x^2 - 3x + 14$
Let the polynomial to be added be $p$
$\therefore x^3+3 x-8+p=3 x^3+x^2+6 $
$ \therefore p=3 x^3+x^2+6-x^3-3 x+8 $
$ \therefore p=2 x^3+x^2-3 x+14$

How much is $-2x^2 + x + 1$ less than $x^2 + 2x - 3?$
- A
$-x^2 + 3x - 2$
- ✓
$3x^2 + x - 4$
- C
$-3x^2 - x + 4$
- D
$3x^2 + 3x - 4$
AnswerCorrect option: B. $3x^2 + x - 4$
Since, $(x^2 + 2x - 3) - (-2x^2 + x + 1)$
$= x^2 + 2x - 3 + 2x^2 - x - 1$
$= 3x^2 + x - 4$
So, $-2x^2 + x + 1$ is less than $x^2 + 2x - 3$ by $3x^2 + x - 4.$
Hence, the correct alternative is option $(b).$

If half of $x$ is $y$ and one-third of $y$ is $z$, then $z$ equals:
- A
$6\%$ of $x$
- ✓
$16.66\%$ of $x$
- C
$60\%$ of $x$
- D
$30\%$ of $x$
AnswerCorrect option: B. $16.66\%$ of $x$
Half of x is y or $\frac {1}{2}\text{x = y}$ One-third of y is z or $\frac {1}{3}\text{y = z}$
$\therefore \text{z} = \frac{1}{3}\text{y} = \frac{1}{3} (\frac{1}{2}\text{x})\times\frac{100}{100}\text{x} = \frac{16..66}{100}\text{x} = {16.66}\%\text{ of x}$

- A
$-12$
- ✓
$12$
- C
$a^2 + a$
- D
$a - 1$
AnswerLet x be added to these polynomial to get $0.$
$\Rightarrow (2a^2 - 3a + 7) + (-5a^2 - 2a - 11) + (3a^2 + 5a - 8) + x = 0$
$\Rightarrow (2a^2 - 5a^2 + 3a^2) + (-3a - 2a + 5a) + (7 - 11 - 8) + x = 0$
$\Rightarrow 0 + 0 + (-12) + x = 0$
$\Rightarrow x = 12$

How much is $a^2 - 3a$ greater than $2a^2 + 4a?$
- A
$a^2 - 7a$
- B
$a^2 + 7a$
- ✓
$-a^2 - 7a$
- D
$-a^2 + 7a$
AnswerCorrect option: C. $-a^2 - 7a$
Since, $(a^2 - 3a)-(2a^2 + 4a)$
$= a^2 - 3a - 2a^2 - 4a$
$= - a^2 -7a$
So, $a^2-3a$ is greater than $2a^2+4a$ by $-a^2-7a.$
Hence, the correct alternative is option $(c).$

$a + b + c = 0$ then $=\frac{1}{\text{b}^{2}+\text{c}^{2}-\text{a}^{2}}+\frac{1}{\text{c}^{2}+\text{a}^{2}-{\text{b}}^{2}}+\frac{1}{\text{a}^{2}+\text{b}^{2}-\text{c}^{2}}$ is equal to:
AnswerD. $0$
Solution:
Given $a + b + c = 0$
$⇒ b + c = -a$
Squaring on both sides
$⇒ b^2 + c^2 + 2bc = a^2$
$⇒ b^2 + c^2 - a^2 = -2bc$
Similarly $c^2 + a^2- b^2 = -2ac$
Similarly $a^2 + b^2 - c^2= -2ab$
⇒ On substituting these values the equation becomes $\frac{-1}{2}\big(\frac{1}{\text{bc}}+\frac{1}{\text{ac}}+\frac{1}{\text{ab}}\Big)$
$\Rightarrow\frac{{-1}}{{2}{\text{abc}}}(\text{a+b+c}) = 0$

If $(x + 1)$ and $(x - 1)$ are factor of $Px^3+ x^2 - 2x + 9$ then value of $P$ are:
Answer$x + 1 = 0$
$x = -1$
$x - 1 = 0 x = 1$ Putting $x = -1x = -1$ in given equation we get $Px^3 + x^2 - 2x + 9$
$= P(-1)^3 + (-1)^2 - 2(-1) + 9$
$= -P + 1 + 2 + 9 = -P + 12 \Rightarrow -P = -12$
$\therefore P = 12$ Putting $x = 1$ is given equation we get $Px^3 + x^2 - 2x + 9$
$P(1)^3 + 12 - 2 \times 1 + 9$
$P + 1 - 2 + 9 P - 1 + 9$
$P + 8 = 0 \Rightarrow P = -8\ So, P = (12, -8)$

AnswerWe have.
$(x_1 + x_2 + x_3) (y_1 + y_2) = 77$
$77 = 1 × 77 = 11 × 7$
As e need positive integral solutions
So,
$x_1 + x_2 + x_3 = 11$ and $y_1 + y_2= 7$
Or
$x_1 + x_2 + x_3 = 7$ and $y_1 + y_2 = 11$
Number of positive integral solution of
$\text{x}_1 + \text{ x}_2 +......+\text{ x}_\text{n} = \text{k}.\ ^{\text{k}-1}\text{C}_{\text{n}-1}$
