The following question based on simplification topic of quantitative aptitude

Questions :
$[(1 + 1/{10 + {1/10}}) × (1 + 1/{10 + {1/10}}) - (1 - 1/{10 + {1/10}}) × (1 - 1/{10 + {1/10}})] ÷ [(1 + 1/{10 + {1/10}}) + (1 - 1/{10 + {1/10}})]$
simplifies to

(a) $101/100$

(b) $20/101$

(c) $90/101$

(d) $100/101$

The correct answers to the above question in:

Answer: (b)

$1 + 1/{10 + {1/10}} = 111/101 = a$

and, $1 - 1/{10 + {1/10}} = 91/101 = b$

${a^2 - b^2}/{(a + b)} = {(a+b)(a-b)}/(a+b)$ = (a-b)

$= 111/101 - 91/101 = 20/101$

Question : 1

The value of $1/{3 + 1/{2 - 1/{7/9}}} + 17/22$ is :

a) 1

b) $5/22$

c) $22/5$

d) $12/22$

Answer: (a)

$1/{3 + 1/{2 - {1/{7/9}}}} + 17/22$

= $1/{3 + 1/{2 - {9/7}}} + 17/22$

= $1/{3 + 1/{{14 - 9}/7}} + 17/22$

= $1/{3 + {1/{5/7}}} + 17/22 = 1/{3 + {7/5}} + 17/22$

= $1/{{15+7}/5} + 17/22$

= $5/22 + 17/2 = 22/22 = 1$

Question : 2

The value of $3+3/{3+1/{3+{1/3}}}$ is

a) $41/11$

b) $46/11$

c) $43/11$

d) $40/11$

Answer: (c)

Expression = $3+3/{3+{1/{{9+1}/3}}}$

= $3+3/{3+{3/10}} = 3+3/{{30+3}/10}$

= $3+{30/33} = 3+{10/11}$

= ${33+10}/11 = 43/11$

Question : 3

$1 + 1/{1 + {1/5}}$ = ?

a) None of the above

b) $15/6$

c) $13/6$

d) $11/6$

Answer: (d)

Expression = $1+1/{1+{1/5}}$

= $1+1/{{5+1}/5} = 1+{5/6}$

= ${6+5}/6 = 11/6$

Question : 4

$√{{4{1/7} - 2{1/4}}/{3{1/2} + 1{1/7}} ÷ {2/{2+1/{2+1/{5-{1/5}}}}}}$ is equal to

a) 2

b) 3

c) 4

d) 1

Answer: (d)

${4{1/7} - 2{1/4}}/{3{1/2}+1{1/7}} = {29/7 - 9/4}/{7/2 +8/7}$

= ${{116 - 63}/28}/{{49+16}/14} = 53/28 ×14/65 = 53/130$

Again,

$1/{2+1/{2+{1/{{25 - 1}/5}}}} =1/{2+1/{2+{5/24}}}$

= $1/{2+{1/{{48+5}/24}}} = 1/{2+{24/53}}$

$1/{{106+24}/53} = 53/130$

Expression = $√{{53/130} ÷ {53/130}} = 1$

Question : 5

If $[4-5/{1+1/{3+1/{2+{1/4}}}}]^{th}$ part of a journey takes 10 minutes, then to complete $3/5$ th of that journey, it will take

a) 36 minutes

b) 48 minutes

c) 45 minutes

d) 40 minutes

Answer: (b)

$4 - 5/{1+1/{3+{1/{9/4}}}} = 4 - 5/{1+{1/{3+{4/9}}}}$

= $4 - 5/{1+{1/{{27+4}/9}}} = 4 - 5/{1+{9/31}}$

= $4 - 5/{40/31} = 4 - {5×31}/40$

= $4 - 31/8 = {32-31}/8 = 1/8$

Since, Time taken in completing $1/8$ part = 10 minutes

Time taken in completing $3/5$ part

= 10 × 8 × $3/5$ = 48 minutes
