Q:

If x = 2 + 223 + 213 then find the value of x3-6x2+6x ?

A) 1 B) 2
C) 3 D) 4
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 2

Explanation:

Given that x = 2+ 223 + 213

 

So x - 2 = 223 + 213

 

Now cubing on both sides, we get

 

 

=> x3-8-6x2+12x = 4 + 2 + 6(x-2)

 

Therefore, x3-6x2+6x = -6 + 8 = 2

Q:

Karthik is now 32 years old and his son is 7 years old. In how many years will Karthik be twice as old as the son?

A) 18 B) 25
C) 7 D) 15
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 18

Explanation:

Given Karthik’s age = 32 years

Karthik’s son age = 7 years

Difference between their ages = K - S = 32 - 7 = 25 years ….(1)

Now, required K = 2S ……(2)

Put (2) in (1)

2S - S = 25

=> S = 25 years

Hence, at the age of 25 years of Karthik’s son, Karthik will be twice as his son’s age.

25 - 7 = 18 years

 

Therefore, after 18 years the father be twice as old as the son.
