Question : 26

What is the product of the roots of the equation $x^2 - √3$ = 0 ?

a) $√3$ i

b) - $√3$

c) - $√3$ i

d) + $√3$

Answer:(b)

$x^2 - √3$ = 0

$x^2-(3)^{1/2}=0$

$x^2-(3^{1/4})^2=0$

$(x+3^{1/4})(x-3^{1/4})=0$

$x=3^{1/4} or {-3}^{1/4}$

Product of roots

$=3^{1/4}×-3^{1/4}=-√3$

Note : Product of the roots of $ax^2+bx+c=0 is c/a$

Product of the roots of $x^2-b. 0-√3=0 is -√3$

Question : 27 [SSC CGL Tier-I 2013]

If $(3/4)^3(4/3)^{-7}= (3/4)^{2x}$, then x is :

a) 2

b) 2$1/2$

c) 5

d) - 2

Answer:(c)

$(3/4)^×3(4/3)^{-7}= (3/4)^{2x}$

$(3/4)^3×(3/4)^{7}= (3/4)^{2x}$

$(3/4)^10=(3/4)^{2x}$

2x=10⇒ x=5

Question : 28

The quotient when $10^100$ is divided by $5^75$ is :

a) $10^25$

b) $2^75 × 10^25$

c) $2^75$

d) $2^25 × 10^75$

Answer:(b)

Expression = $(10)^100/(5)^75$

= $(2×5)^100/(5)^75$

= ${(2)^100 × (5)^100}/(5)^75$

= $2^100× 5^25$

= $2^25× 5^25× 2^75$

= $(10)^25 ×2^75$

Question : 29

The value of $[(0.87)^2+(0.13)^2 + (0.87) × (0.26)]^2013$ is

a) 2013

b) - 1

c) 1

d) 0

Answer:(c)

Expression

= $[(0.87)^2 + (0.13)^2 + 0.87 × 0.26]^2013$

= $(0.87 + 0.13)^{2013} = 1^{2013}$ = 1

[Since, $(a + b)^2 = a^2 + b^2$ + 2ab]

Question : 30

If $a = b^p , b = c^q , c = a^r$ then pqr is

a) 0

b) abc

c) - 1

d) 1

Answer:(d)

a = $(b)^p$ and b = $(c)^q$

$c = a^r = (b^p)^r = (b)^{pr}$

= $(c^q)^{pr} = c^{pqr}$

pqr = 1
