FACTS  AND  FORMULAE  FOR  SIMPLIFICATION  QUESTIONS

 

 

1. BODMAS Rule: This rule depicts the correct sequence in which the operations are to be executed,so as to find out the value of a given expression. Here, 'B' stands for bracket , 'O' for of , 'D' for division and 'M' for multiplication, 'A' for addition and 'S' for subtraction.

Thus, in simplifying an expression, first of all the brackets must be removed, strictly in the order(), {} and [].

After removing the brackets, we must use the following operations strictly in the order:

(1) of    (2)division   (3) multiplication   (4)addition   (5)subtraction.

 Modulus of a real number : Modulus of a real number a is defined as |a| = aif a>0-aif a<0

 

2. Virnaculum (or bar) : When an expression contains Virnaculum, before applying the ‘BODMAS’ rule, we simplify the expression under the Virnaculum.

Q:

In each of the following questions two equations I and II are given. Solve both the equations and give answer:
I. x2+2x-195=0II. y2+30y+225=0

A) x = y or relation can’t be established between x and y B) x > y
C)  x < y D)  x ≥ y
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D)  x ≥ y

Explanation:

 I. x2 + 2x - 195 = 0 = (x+15) (x-13) => x = -15, 13

II. y2 + 30y + 225 = 0 = (y+15) (y+15) => y = -15, -15

So x ≥ y

Q:

In each question two equations numbered I and II are given,you haveto solve both the equation and choose the correctanswer.

I. x2+ 30x + 81 = 0

II.y2-9y -162 = 0

A) x > y B) x>y
C) x < y D) x
 
Answer & Explanation Answer:

Explanation:

x^2+ 30x + 81 = 0
x^2+ 27x + 3x + 81 = 0
x = -3, -27
y^2-9y -162 = 0
y^2-18y + 9y -162 = 0
y = -9, 18
Hence, no relationship can be established between x and y
