Question :6

Which one among $2^{1/2}, 3^{1/3}, 4^{1/4}, 6^{1/6}$ and $12^{1/12}$ is the largest ?

Answer: (c)

In this question it is advisable to raise all the numbers to the power of 12, so the numbers become

$(2^{1/2})^12, (3^{1/3})^12, (4^{1/4})^12, (6^{1/6})^12$

or $2^6, 3^4, 4^3, 6^2$ or 64, 81, 64, 36

So, $3^{1/3}$ is the largest.

  2. For (p + q) to be greater than (p – q), both p and q must be positive.
Which of the above statements is/are correct?

Answer: (b)

(If p + q < p – q and if p + q > p – q)

⇒ q < 0 ⇒ 2q > 0

1 is true

⇒ q > 0

⇒ q must be positive

∴ option (c) is correct

Question :9

If the following fractions $7/8, 4/5, 8/14, 3/5$ and $5/6$ are arranged in descending order which will be the last in the series?

Answer: (c)

Decimal equivalents of fractions

$7/8 = 0.875, 4/5$ = 0.8

$8/14 = 0.57, 3/5 = 0.6$

$5/6$ = 0.83

∴ 0.875 > 0.83 > 0.8 > 0.6 > 0.57

∴ $7/8 > 5/6 > 4/5 > 3/5 > 8/14$

Question :10

Three-fourth of one number is equal to five-sixth of another number. What is the respective ratio of the first number to the second number?

Answer: (e)

Suppose numbers are x and y

$∴ x × 3/4 = 5/6 × y$

$x/y = 5/6 × 4/3s$

$x/y = 10/9$
