Q:

X2+X2 =

A) 4X B) 2X
C) 2X^2 D) X/2
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 2X^2

Explanation:

Here the given expression, 

X2 + X is an algebraic expression. Here in this expression the terms are like terms. Now to add them, add their coefficients.

Here in the given expression, the like terms are two X

Hence, adding their coefficients i.e, 1 + 1 = 2

Therefore, 

 

X2 + X2 = 2X2.

Q:

What is the sum of all 3 digits number that can be formed using digits 0,1,2,3,4,5 with no repitition ?

A) 28450 B) 26340
C) 32640 D) 36450
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 32640

Explanation:

We know that zero can't be in hundreds place. But let's assume that our number could start with zero.

 

The formula to find sum of all numbers in a permutation is

 

111 x no of ways numbers can be formed for a number at given position x sum of all given digits

 

No of 1 s depends on number of digits

 

So,the answer us

 

111 x 20 x (0+1+2+3+4+5) = 33300

 

We got 20 as follows. If we have 0 in units place we can form a number in 4*5 ways. This is for all numbers. So we have substituted 20 in formula.

 

Now, this is not the final answer because we have included 0 in hundreds place. so we have to remove the sum of all numbers that starts with 0.

 

This is nothing but the sum of all 2 digits numbers formed by 1 2 3 4 5. Because 0 at first place makes it a 2 digit number.

 

So the sum for this is 11 x 4 x (1+2+3+4+5).
=660

 

Hope u understood why we use 4. Each number can be formed in 4x1 ways

 

So, the final answer is 33300-660 = 32640

Q:

There are four consecutive even integers. Sum of the reciprocals of the first two number is (11/60). Find the reciprocal of third largest number of the series.

A) 1/12 B) 2/14
C) 1/14 D) 2/13
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 1/14

Explanation:

Ans. C.
Let 4 consecutive even numbers are x, x+ 2, x+ 4, x+ 6
According to the question -
1/x + 1/x+2 = 11/60
x+2+x/ x(x+2) = 11/60
2(x+1)/x^2 + 2x = 11/60
120x + 120 = 11x 2 + 22x
11x 2 - 98x – 120 = 0
So ,
X = -24/22 , 10
X = -12/11 , 10
So, the numbers will be 10,12,14,16.
Hence,
Third largest number = 14
Reciprocal of third number = 1/14
