The following question based on power, indices and surds topic of quantitative aptitude
(a) 60
(b) 25
(c) 5
(d) 125
The correct answers to the above question in:
Answer: (d)
Expression = $(0.04)^{ - 1.5}$
= $1/(0.04)^{1.5} = 1/(0.04)^{3/2}$
= $1/(0.04 × 0.04 × 0.04)^{1/2}$
= $1/√{0.0000064}$
= $1/{0.008} = 1000/8 = 125$

Question : 1
The value of $(3 + 2√2)^{- 3} + (3 -2√2)^{ - 3}$ is
a) 108
b) 189
c) 198
d) 180
Answer »Answer: (c)
We know that
$a^3 + b^3 = (a + b)^3 - 3ab (a + b)$
Now
$(3 + 2√2)^{- 3} + (3 -2√2)^{ - 3}$
= $1/(3 + 2√2)^{3} + 1/(3 - 2√2)^{3}$
= ${(3 - 2√2)^{3} + (3 + 2√2)^{3}}/{(3 + 2√2)^{3} ×(3 - 2√2)^{3}}$
= ${(3 - 2√2 + 3 + 2√2)^3 - 3(3 - 2√2)(3 + 2√2)(3 - 2√2 + 3 + 2√2)}/[(3 + 2√2)(3-2√2)]^3$
= ${(6)^3 - 3(9-8)(6)}/1$
= 216 - 18 = 198
Question : 2
$(1/2)^{- 1/2}$ is equal to
a) - $√2$
b) $1/√2$
c) $√2$
d) 2$ √2$
Answer »Answer: (c)
$(1/2)^{- 1/2} = (2)^{1/2} = √2$
Question : 3
a) 3 - $√3$
b) $√3$
c) 5 - $√3$
d) 3$√3$
Answer »Answer: (a)
$1/{√3 + √4} + 1/{√4 + √5} +1/{√5 + √6} +1/{√6 + √7} +1/{√7 + √8} +1/{√8 + √9}$
$1/{√3 + √4}$
= $1/{√3 + √4}×{√4 - √3}/{√4-√3}$
= ${√4-√3}/{4-3} =√4-√3$
Similarly,
$1/{√4+√5}=√5-√4$
$1/{√5+√6}=√6-√5$
$1/{√6+√7}=√7-√6$
$1/{√7+√8}=√8-√7$
$1/{√8+√9}=√9-√8$
Expression
= $√4 -√3+√5-√4+√6-√5+√7-√6+√8-√7+√9-√8$
= $√9-√3 = 3-√3$
Question : 4
$8^{2/3}$ 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 : 5
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 : 6
$(3 + 1/√3 + 1/{3 + √3} + 1/{√3 - 3})$ is equal to
a) $3 + √3$
b) 1
c) $3 - √3$
d) 3
Answer »Answer: (d)
Expression
= $3+1/√3+1/{3+√3}+1/{√3-3}$
= $3+1/√3+1/{3+√3}-1/{√3-3}$
= $3+1/√3+({3-√3-3-√3}/{(3+√3)(3-√3)})$
= $3+1/√3+{-2√3}/{9-3} = 3+1/√3 -√3/3$
= $3+1/√3-1/√3 = 3$
