MOST IMPORTANT quantitative aptitude - 5 EXERCISES
The following question based on power, indices and surds topic of quantitative aptitude
(a) $1 + {0.5}/{1 - 1/2}$
(b) $(2.89)^{0.5}$
(c) 2 - $(0.5)^2$
(d) $√3$
The correct answers to the above question in:
Answer: (a)
$(2.89)^{0.5}, 2 - (0.5)^2, 1 + {0.5}/{1 - 1/2}, √3$
$(2.89)^{0.5}=(2.89)^{5/10}$
=$√{2.89}=1.7$
=$2 - (0.5)^2=2-0.25=1.75$
$1+{0.5}/{1-1/2}=1+{0.5}/{1/2}$
=$1+{0.5}/{0.5}=1+1=2$
$√3$ =1.732

Question : 1
The greatest among the numbers $√^4{3}, √^5{4}, √^10{12}$, 1 is
a) $√^4{3}$
b) 1
c) $√^5{4}$
d) $√^10{12}$
Answer »Answer: (c)
$√^4{3}, √^5{4}, √^10{12}$, 1
LCM of indices of surds = 20
$√^4{3}=√^20{3^5}=√^20{243}$
$√^5{4}=√^20{4^4}=√^20{256}$
$√^10{12}=√^20{144}$
Question : 2
The smallest of $√8 +√5, √7+√6, √{10}+√3$ and $√{11}+√2$ :
a) $√{10}+√3$
b) $√8 +√5$
c) $√7+√6$
d) $√{11}+√2$
Answer »Answer: (d)
$√8 +√5, √7+√6, √{10}+√3$ and $√{11}+√2$
Here,
$(√8 +√5)^2 =(√8)^2+(√5)^2+2×√8×√5$
=$8+5+2×√{8×5}$
=$13+2√40$
Similarly,
$(√7+√6)^2=7+6+2×√{7×6}$
=$13+2√42$
$(√{10}+√3)^2=10+3+2×√{10×3}$
=$13+2√30$,
$(√{11}+√2)^2=11+2+2√{11×2}$
=$13+2√22$
Clearly, 13 + 2$√22$ is the smallest among these.
∴ $√11 + √2$ is the smallest.
Question : 3
The greatest one of $√4, √^3{4}, √^4{6}$ and $√^6{8}$ is
a) $√^4{6}$
b) $√3$
c) $√^3{4}$
d) $√^6{8}$
Answer »Answer: (b)
$√4, √^3{4}, √^4{6}$ and $√^6{8}$
$√3 =(3)^{1/2×6/6}=(3^6)^{1/12}=(729)^{1/12}$
$√^3{4}=(4)^{1/3×4/4}=(4^4)^{1/12}=(256)^{1/12}$
$√^4{6}=(6)^{1/4×3/3}=(6^3)^{1/12}=(216)^{1/12}$
$√^6{8}=(8)^{1/6×2/2}=(8^2)^{1/12}=(64)^{1/12}$
Now, it is clear that $√3$ is the greatest.
Question : 4
The least one of $2√3, 2√^4{5}, √8$ and $3√2$ is
a) $√8$
b) $2√3$
c) $2√^4{5}$
d) $3√2$
Answer »Answer: (a)
$2√3, 2√^4{5}, √8$ and $3√2$
The orders of the surds are 2, 4, 2 and 2. Their LCM = 4
We convert each surd into a surd of order 4.
$2√3=√{4×3}=√12=√^4(12)^2=√^4{144}$
$2√^4{5}=√^4{2^4×5}=√^4{80}$
$3√2=√18=√^4(18)^2=√^4{324}$
$√8=√^4{64}$
Hence, the least number =$√8$
Question : 5
The greatest of $√2, √^6{3}, √^3{4}, √^4{5}$ is
a) $√^3{4}$
b) $√2$
c) $√^6{3}$
d) $√^4{5}$
Answer »Answer: (a)
$√2, √^6{3}, √^3{4}, √^4{5}$
LCM of 2, 6, 3, 4 = 12
$√2=√^12{2^6}=√^12{64}$
$√^6{3}=√^12{3^2}=√^12{9}$
$√^3{4}=√^12{4^4}=√^12{256}$
$√^4{5}=√^12{5^3}=√^12{125}$
Clearly,
$√^12{9}<√^12{64}<√^12{125}<√^12{256}$
∴ $√^6{3}<√2<√^4{5}<√^3{4}$
Question : 6
The largest among the numbers 0.9, $(0.9)^2, √{0.9}, 0.\ov{9}$ is :
a) $√{0.9}$
b) 0.9
c) $(0.9)^2$
d) 0.$\ov9$
Answer »Answer: (d)
0.9, $(0.9)^2, √{0.9}, 0.\ov{9}$
$(0.9)^2$ = 0.81;
$√{0.9}$ = 0.95
$0.\ov{9} = 9/9 = 1$
