MCQ 11 Mark
The factors of $m^2 - 256$ are:
  • A
    $(m + 4)^2$
  • B
    $(m - 4)^2$
  • C
    $(m - 4) (m + 4)$
  • None of the above.
Answer
Correct option: D.
None of the above.
$m^4 = (m^2)^2\ \  and\ \  256 = (16)^2$
$m^4 - 256 = (m^2)^2 - (16)^2 = (m^2 - 16) (m^2 + 16)$
$m^2 - 16 = m^2 - 4^2 = (m - 4) (m + 4)$
$m^4 - 256 = (m - 4) (m + 4) (m^2 + 16)$

Correct option: B.
$x(x - 15) (x + 15)$
B.  $x(x - 15) (x + 15)$
Solution:
Given, $x^3 - 225x$
By taking common $x,$
$\Rightarrow x(x^2 - 225)$
$\Rightarrow x(x^2 - 15^2)$
Now, using formula for $(a^2 - b^2)$
$\Rightarrow x(x - 15) (x + 15)$
As we know that $(a^2 - b^2) = (a + b) (a - b)$
Hence, $x^2 - 225x$ is equal to $x(x - 15) (x + 15).$

The factorisation of $z^2 - 4z - 12$ is:
  • A
    $(z + 6) (z + 2)$
  • B
    $(z - 6) (z - 2)$
  • $(z - 6) (z + 2)$
  • D
    $(z + 6) (z - 2)$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$(z - 6) (z + 2)$
C.  $(z - 6) (z + 2)$
Solution:
$= z^3 - 4z – 12$
$= z^2 - 6z + 2z - 12$
$= z(z - 6) + 2(z - 6)$
$= (z - 6) (z + 2)$

The factorisation of $12a^2b + 15ab^2$ gives:
  • A
    $3ab(4ab + 5)$
  • $3ab(4a + 5b)$
  • C
    $3a(4a + 5b)$
  • D
    $3b(4a + 5b)$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$3ab(4a + 5b)$
B.  $3ab(4a + 5b)$
Solution:
$12 a^2 b+15 a b^2 $
$12 a^2 b=3 \times 4 \times a \times a \times b $
$15 a b^2=3 \times 5 \times a \times b \times b$
The common factors are 3ab.
$12 a^2 b+15 a b^2=3 a b(4 a+5 b)$

The factors of $m^2 - 256$ are:
  • A
    $(m + 4)^2$
  • B
    $(m - 4)^2$
  • C
    $(m - 4) (m + 4)$
  • None of the above.
Answer
Correct option: D.
None of the above.
D.  None of the above.
Solution:
$m^2 = (m)^2$ and $256 = (16)^2$
By using the algebraic identity,
$a^2 - b^2 = (a + b) (a - b),$
we get $(m + 16) (m - 16).$

    $5x - 7$
  • $3x(5x - 7)$
Answer
Correct option: D.
$3x(5x - 7)$
D.  $3x(5x - 7)$
Solution:
$\frac{39\text{x}^3(50\text{x}^2-98)}{26\text{x}^2(5\text{x}+7)}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{13\times3\text{x}^3\times2(25\text{x}^2-49)}{13\times2\text{x}^2(5\text{x}+7)}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{13\times3\text{x}^2\times2((5\text{x})^2-(7)^2)}{13\times2\text{x}^2\times(5\text{x}+7)}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{13\times3\text{x}^2\times2(5\text{x}+7)(5\text{x}-7)}{2\times13\text{x}^2(5\text{x}+7)}$
