$\left [ \frac{2^{n}+2^{n-1}}{2^{n+1}-2^{n}} \right ]$ is:

Answer

$\frac{2^{n} + \frac{2^{n}}{2}}{2 x 2^{n} - 2^{n}} = \frac{2^{n} (1 + \frac{1}{2})}{2^{n} (2 - 1)} = \frac{3}{2}$

Q:

(51 + 52 + 53 + .........+100) is equal to

Answer

51 + 52 + 53 + ...........+ 100

= (1 + 2 + 3 + .... + 100) - (1 + 2 + 3 + ...... + 50)

= It is in the form of $\frac{n (n + 1)}{2} s e r i e s s u m m a t i o n$

= n1 = 100 , n2 = 50

= $[\frac{100 (100 + 1)}{2}] - [\frac{50 (50 + 1)}{2}]$

= (5050 - 1275) = 3775

Q:

Simplify

$\frac{1 . 5^{3} + 4 . 7^{3} + 3 . 8^{3} - 3 x 1.5 x 4.7 x 3.8}{1 . 5^{2} + 4 . 7^{2} + 3 . 8^{2} - 1.5 x 4.7 - 4.7 x 3.8 - 1.5 x 3.8}$

A) 6	B) 8
C) 10	D) 12

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 10

Explanation:

Apply $\frac{a^{3} + b^{3} + c^{3} - 3 a b c}{a^{2} + b^{2} + c^{2} - a b - b c - c a} = a + b + c$

Hence the answer is 1.5 + 4.7 + 3.8 = 10.

Q:

Simplify and find '?'

$48 \sqrt{?} + 32 \sqrt{?} = 320$

A) 4	B) 8
C) 16	D) 32

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 16

Explanation:

given

$48 \sqrt{?} + 32 \sqrt{?} = 320$

=> $6 \sqrt{?} + 4 \sqrt{?} = 40$

Now squaring on both sides

=> $36 x ? + 16 x ? + 48 x ? = 1600$

=> 100 x ? = 1600

=> ? = 16

Q:

$17 \frac{4}{7} + 13 \frac{2}{12} - ? = 11 \frac{2}{3}$

A) 16	B) 17
C) 18	D) 19

Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 19

Explanation:

$17 \frac{4}{7} + 13 \frac{2}{12} - ? = 11 \frac{2}{3}$

$\frac{123}{7} + \frac{158}{12} - ? = \frac{35}{3}$

=> $? = \frac{123}{7} + \frac{158}{12} - \frac{35}{3}$

=> ? = $\frac{1476 + 1106 - 980}{84}$

=> ? = 19.07

Q:

38% of 7500 + ?% of 375 = 50% of 6000

A) 50	B) 40
C) 60	D) 45

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 40

Explanation:

Let ? = p

38 x 7500/100 + p x 375/100 = 50 x 6000/100

=> 38 x 75 + 3.75p = 3000

=> 3.75p = 3000 - 2850

=> p = 150/3.75

=> p = ? = 40
