MOST IMPORTANT quantitative aptitude - 5 EXERCISES
The following question based on power, indices and surds topic of quantitative aptitude
(a) 1
(b) 5
(c) 0
(d) 2
The correct answers to the above question in:
Answer: (c)
$2/{√7 + √5} + 7/{√{12} - √5} - 5/{√{12} - √7}$
First term = $2/{√7 + √5}$
= ${2 ×(√7 - √5)}/{(√7 + √5)(√7 - √5)}$
= ${2(√7 - √5)}/{7-5} = √7 -√5$
Second term = $7/{√{12} - √5}$
= ${7(√{12}+√5)}/{(√{12}-√{5})(√{12}+√5)}$
=${7(√{12}+√5)}/{12-5}$
= ${7(√{12} +√{5})}/{7} = √{12}+√5$
Third term = $5/{√{12}-√7}$
= ${5(√{12}+√7)}/{(√{12}-√7)(√{12}+√7)}$
= ${5(√{12}+√7)}/{12- 7} = √{12} +√7$
Expression
= $(√7 - √5) + (√{12} +√5) - (√{12}+√7)$
= $√7 -√5 +√{12} +√5 - √{12} -√7 = 0$

Question : 1
$(3 + 1/√3 + 1/{3 + √3} + 1/{√3 - 3})$ is equal to
a) $3 + √3$
b) 1
c) $3 - √3$
d) 3
Answer »Answer: (d)
Expression
= $3+1/√3+1/{3+√3}+1/{√3-3}$
= $3+1/√3+1/{3+√3}-1/{√3-3}$
= $3+1/√3+({3-√3-3-√3}/{(3+√3)(3-√3)})$
= $3+1/√3+{-2√3}/{9-3} = 3+1/√3 -√3/3$
= $3+1/√3-1/√3 = 3$
Question : 2
The value of $√{2}^4 + √^3{64} + √^4{2^8}$ is :
a) 18
b) 12
c) 24
d) 16
Answer »Answer: (b)
? = $√{2}^4 + √^3{64} + √^4{2^8}$
= $2^{4×1/2} + 4^{3×1/3} + 2^{8×1/4}$
= $2^2 + 4 + 2^2$
= 4 + 4 + 4 = 12
Question : 3
$8^{2/3}$ is equal to :
a) 4
b) 5$1/2$
c) 3$1/3$
d) 21$1/3$
Answer »Answer: (a)
$8^{2/3} = (2^3)^{2/3}$
= $2^{3×2/3} = 2^2 = 4$
Question : 4
The simplified form of $(16^{3/2} + 16^{-3/2})$ is :
a) 1
b) 0
c) $16/4097$
d) $4097/64$
Answer »Answer: (d)
$(16^{3/2} + 16^{-3/2})$
= $(4^2)^{3/2} + 1/(16)^{3/2}$
= $4^{2×3/2} + 1/4^{2×3/2} = 4^3 + 1/4^3$
= $64 + 1/64 = {4096 + 1}/64 = 4097/64$
Question : 5
The value of $(256)^{0.16} × (16)^{0.18}$ is :
a) 16
b) 4
c) 256
d) - 4
Answer »Answer: (b)
Expression
= $(256)^{0.16} × (16)^{0.18}$
= $(4)^{4×0.16} × (4)^{2×0.18}$
= $(4)^{0.64} × (4)^{0.36}$
= $(4)^{0.64+0.36} = (4)^1$ = 4
Question : 6
$(√8 - √4 - √2)$ equals :
a) 2
b) 2 - $√2$
c) - 2
d) $√2$ - 2
Answer »Answer: (d)
? = $(√8 - √4 - √2)$
= $(2√2 - 2 - √2) = √2 - 2$
