Let all chords of parabola `y^(2)=x+1` which subtends right angle at `(1,sqrt(2))` passes through `(a,b)` then the value of `a+b^(2)` is

Answer» Correct Answer - 4
Shifting origin at `(1,sqrt(2))`
`(Y+2sqrt(2))^(2)=X+1+1,y=Y+sqrt(2),x=X+1`
`Y^(2)+(2sqrt(2)Y-X)((Y-mX)/C)=0`
`1+(2sqrt(2))/C+m/C=0`
`C+m+2sqrt(2)=0`
`Y=mx-=m-2sqrt(2)`
`y-sqrt(2)=m(x-1)-m-2sqrt(2)`
it is passes through `(a,b)AAm`
`impliesa=2` and `b=-sqrt(2)`

If A and B can do a piece of work in 10 days and 15 days respectively, then the part of work they can do together in 3 days is?1. 1/22. 13. 1/64. 1/3

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : 1/2

Given:

A and B can do a piece of work in 10 days and 15 days respectively

Concept Used:

One day work = 1/number of days taken by the worker to complete the whole work 

Calculation:

One day work of A = 1/10

One day work of B = 1/15

One day work of A + B = 1/10 + 1/15

⇒ (3 + 2)/30

⇒ 1/6

Now, 3 days work done by (A + B) is 3 × 1/6

⇒ 1/2

Hence, the part of work they can do together in 3 days is 1/2 of the whole work

From the given options complete the series - 10, 100, 20, 400, 30, (____), 40, 1600.1. 12002. 9003. 10004. 800

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : 900

Here, we have to fill the blank of the given series 10, 100, 20, 400, 30, (____), 40, 1600.

Calculation:

Here, we can see that the terms present at even place is the square of its previous term

Like 2nd term 100 which is square of 10 (1st term)

Like 4th term 400 which is square of 20 (3rd term)

Like 8th term 1600 which is square of 40 (7th term)

Similarly, 6th term will be the square of 30 

6th term = (30)= 900

Hence, the required blank can be filled by 900.

The average of four consecutive even numbers is 27. Find the largest of these numbers.

Answer»

Let the four consecutive even numbers be x, x + 2, x + 4 and x + 6. 

Then, sum of these numbers = (27 x 4) = 108. 

So, x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) + (x + 6) = 108 or 4x = 96 or x = 24.

 Largest number = (x + 6) = 30.

49.

If the sum of two numbers is 42 and their product is 437, then find the absolute difference between the numbers.

Answer»

Let the numbers be x and y. 

Then, x + y = 42 and xy = 437 

 x - y = sqrt[(x + y)2 - 4xy] 

= sqrt[(42)2 - 4 x 437 ] 

= sqrt[1764 – 1748] 

= sqrt[16] = 4. 

 Required difference = 4.

50.

The sum of two numbers is 16 and the sum of their squares is 113. Find the numbers.

Answer»

Let the numbers be x and (15 - x). 

Then, x2 + (15 - x)2 = 113 

=> x2 + 225 + X2 - 30x = 113 

 => 2x2 - 30x + 112 = 0 

=> x2 - 15x + 56 = 0 

 => (x - 7) (x - 8) = 0 

=> x = 7 or x = 8. 

 So, the numbers are 7 and 8.
