Solve: $(3x - 5)^2 + (3x + 5)^2 = (18x + 10) (x - 2)$
  • $\frac{-35}{13}$
  • B
    $\frac{-25}{13}$
  • C
    $\frac{-15}{13}$
  • D
    $\frac{-45}{13}$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$\frac{-35}{13}$
We will solve the given expression
$(3x - 5)^2 + (3x + 5)^2 =(18x + 10) (x - 2)$ as shown below:
$(3x - 5)^2 + (3x + 5)^2 = (18x + 10)(x - 2)$
$\Rightarrow [(3x)^2 + (5)^2 - (2 \times 3x \times 5)] + [(3x)^2 + (5)^2 + (2 \times 3x \times 5)] = 18x (x - 2) + 10(x - 2)$
$\therefore (a + b)^2 = a^2 + b^2 + 2ab, (a - b)^2 = a^2 + b^2 - 2ab)$
$\Rightarrow 9x^2 + 25 - 30x + 9x^2 + 25 + 30x = 18x^2 - 36x + 10x - 20$
$\Rightarrow 18x^2 + 50 =18x^2 - 26x - 20$
$\Rightarrow 18x^2 + 50 - 18x^2 + 26x + 20 = 0$
$\Rightarrow 26x + 70 = 0$
$\Rightarrow 26x = -70$
$\Rightarrow \text{x}=-\frac{70}{26}$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=-\frac{35}{13}$
Hence, $\text{x}=-\frac{35}{13}$

MCQ 41 Mark
If $\text{x}-\frac{1}{\text{x}}=3$ then the value of $\frac{3\text{x}^2-3}{\text{x}^2+2\text{x}-1}$ is.
  • $\frac{9}{5}$
  • B
    $\frac{8}{5}$
  • C
    $\frac{7}{5}$
  • D
    $\frac{6}{5}$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$\frac{9}{5}$
Given $\text{x}+\frac{1}{\text{x}}=3$ multiply by x both sides
Then $x^2 - 1 = 3x$
$\Rightarrow x^2 - 3x - 1 = 0$
So, $\frac{3\text{x}^2-3}{\text{x}^2+2\text{x}-1}=\frac{3(\text{x}^2-1)}{\text{x}^2-3\text{x}-1+5\text{x}}=\frac{3\times3\text{x}}{0+5\text{x}}=\frac{9\text{x}}{5\text{x}}=\frac{9}{5}$

  • B
    $1\frac{2}{27}$
  • C
    $1\frac{3}{27}$

$1\frac{1}{27}$
Given $\text{a}-\frac{1}{3}=\frac{1}{\text{a}}= \text{a}-\frac{1}{\text{a}}=\frac{1}{3}$
We know that $x^3 - y^3 = (x - y)3 + 3xy (x + y)$
Then $\text{a}^3-(\frac{1}{3})^3=(\text{a}-(\frac{1}{\text{a}}))^3+3\text{a}(\frac{1}{\text{a}})(\text{a}+(\frac{1}{\text{a}})$
$=(\frac{1}{3})^3+3\times(\frac{1}{3})=\frac{1}{27}+1=\frac{28}{27}=1\frac{1}{27}$

  • B
    $m = 2, ,n = -2$
  • C
    $m = -2, n = 1$
  • $m = -3, n = -1$
Answer
Correct option: D.
$m = -3, n = -1$
$x - 2$ is factor
$\Rightarrow x = 2$
$f(2) = 14 + 4m + 2n$
Remainder is zero
$\Rightarrow 7 + 2m + n = 0 ⟶ (i)$
Now, $x - 3 = 0$ gives remainder $3$
$\Rightarrow f (3) = 3$
$\Rightarrow 33 + 9m + 3n = 3$
$\Rightarrow 10 + 3m + n = 0 ⟶ (ii)$
From $(i)\&(ii)$
$m = -3n = −1$

Which of the following equations has $x = 2$ as a solution?
  • A
    $x + 2 = 5$
  • $x - 2 = 0$
  • C
    $2x + 1 = 0$
  • D
    $x + 3 = 6$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$x - 2 = 0$
To get solution as $x = 2$, solve each equation.
For option $(a),$
$x + 2 = 5$
$\Rightarrow x = 5 - 2$ [transposing $+2$ to $RHS$]
$\Rightarrow x = 3$
For option $(b)$,
$x - 2 = 0$
$\Rightarrow x = 2$ [transposing $-2$ to $RHS$]
For option $(c)$,
$2x + 1 = 0$
$2x = -1$ [transposing $+1$ to $RHS$]
$\Rightarrow\frac{2\text{x}}{2}=\frac{-1}{2}$ [dividing both sides by $2$]
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=\frac{-1}{2}$
For option $(d)$,
$\Rightarrow x + 3 = 6$
$\Rightarrow x = 6 - 3$ [transposing $+3$ to $RHS$]
$\Rightarrow x = 3$
Therefore, we get $x = 2$ as a solution in option $(b)$ only.
Hence, $(b)$ is correct option.

If $\text{A}=\pi(\text{R}^2-\text{r}^2)$ than R is equal to.
  • A
    $\sqrt{\frac{\text{A}-\pi\text{r}^2}{\pi}}$
  • $\sqrt{\frac{\text{A}+\pi\text{r}^2}{\pi}}$
  • C
    $\sqrt{\frac{\text{r}^2\pi-\text{A}}{\pi}}$
  • D
    $\sqrt{\frac{\text{r}^2\pi-\text{A}}{\text{r}}}$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$\sqrt{\frac{\text{A}+\pi\text{r}^2}{\pi}}$

Given, $\text{A}=\pi(\text{R}^2-\text{r}^2)$
Therefore $\text{A}=\pi\text{R}^2-\pi\text{r}^2\Rightarrow\text{A}+\pi\text{r}^2=\pi\text{R}^2$
$\Rightarrow\text{R}^2={\frac{\text{A}+\pi\text{r}^2}{\pi}}$
$\Rightarrow\text{R}=\sqrt{\frac{\text{A}+\pi\text{r}^2}{\pi}}$

If the point $(2, -3)$ lies on $kx^2 - 3y^2 + 2x + y - 2 = 0$ then $k$ is equal to
  • A
    $\frac{1}{7}$
  • B
    $16$
  • $7$
  • D
    $12$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$7$
As the point lies on the given line, it should satisfy the equation of the line, if we substitute $x = 2$ and $y = -3$ in it.
So,  $k(2)^2 3(-3)^2 + 2(2) - 32 = 0$
$\Rightarrow 4k - 27 + 4 - 3 - 2 = 0$
$4k = 28$

  • $2x + 1 = 6$
  • D
    $1 - x = 5$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$2x + 1 = 6$
We know that, integers are
$-4, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4$
Now, we check the equations.
For option $(a).$
$x + 1 = 1$
$\Rightarrow x = 1 - 1$ [transposing $+1$ to $RHS$]
$\Rightarrow x = 0,$ which is an integer.
For option $(b)$.
$x - 1 = 3$
$\Rightarrow x = 3 + 1$ [transposing $-1$ to $RHS$]
$\Rightarrow x = 4,$ which is an integer.
For option $(c)$,
$2x + 1 = 6$
$\Rightarrow 2x = 6 - 1$ [transposing $+1$ to $RHS$]
$\Rightarrow 2x = 5$
$\Rightarrow\frac{2\text{x}}{2}=\frac{5}{2}$ [dividing both sides by $2$]
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=\frac{5}{2},$ which is not an integer.
For option $(d)$.
$1 - x = 5$
$\Rightarrow -x = 5 - 1$ [transposing $+1$ to $RHS]$
$\Rightarrow -x = 4$
$\Rightarrow x = -4$, which is an integer. [dividing both sides by $-1$]
Hence, $(c)$ is correct option.
