A number consists of three digits of which the middle one is zero and their sum is 4. If the number formed by interchanging the first and last digits is greater than the number itself by 198, then the difference between the first and last digits is 1. 12. 23. 34. 4

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : 2

Given : 

A number consists of three digits of which the middle one is zero and their sum is 4. If the number formed by interchanging the first and last digits is greater than the number itself by 198. 

Calculations :

Let the number be 100x + 10y + z 
Then the number of reversed digit will be 100z + 10y + x 

According to the question 

100z + x - (100x + z) = 198        (y = 0)

99z - 99x = 198 

z - x = 2

∴ The difference of the 1st and last digit is 2.

The sum of two numbers is 80. The larger number exceeds four times the smaller one by 5. Find the numbers.

Answer»

Let the smaller number is x and larger number is y. 

Given that sum of both numbers is 80. 

∴ x + y = 80. ... (1) 

Given that the larger number exceeds four times the smaller one by 5. 

∴ y = 4x +5. ... (2) 

By putting y = 4x + 5 in equation (1), we get x + (4x +5) = 80. 

⇒ 5x = 80 – 5 = 75 

⇒ x = \(\frac{75}{5}\) = 15. 

Now, putting x = 15, in equation (2), we get 

y = 4 × 15 + 5 = 60 + 5 = 65. 

Hence, the numbers are 15 and 65.

Prove that : (secA + tan A)(1– sinA) = cosA.

Answer»

. L.H.S = (secA + tanA) (1 – sinA) 

= (\(\frac{1}{cosA}+\frac{sinA}{cosA}\))(1 – sinA) (∵ secA = \(\frac{1}{cos A}\) & tanA = \(\frac{sinA}{cosA}\)

= ( \(\frac{1+sin^2A}{cosA}\) ) (1 – sinA) 

= (\(\frac{1 − sin^2A }{cosA}\)) [∵ (a + b)(a − b) = a2 − b2

= \(\frac{cos^2A}{cosA}\) = cosA = R.H.S. (∵ sin2A + cos2A = 1 ⇒ 1 − sin2A = cos2A) 

Hence proved

Prove that : \(\frac{1}{secθ − tanθ}\) – \(\frac{1}{cosθ}\) = \(\frac{1}{cosθ}\) – \(\frac{1}{secθ + tanθ}\) .1/secθ − tanθ – 1/cosθ = 1/cosθ – 1/secθ + tanθ .

Answer»

We have to prove \(\frac{1}{secθ − tanθ}\) – \(\frac{1}{cosθ}\) = \(\frac{1}{cosθ}\)\(\frac{1}{secθ + tanθ}\) .

⇒ \(\frac{1}{secθ − tanθ}\) + \(\frac{1}{secθ + tanθ}\) = \(\frac{1}{cosθ}\) + \(\frac{1}{cosθ}\)

 ⇒ \(\frac{1}{secθ − tanθ}\)  + \(\frac{1}{secθ + tanθ}\) = \(\frac{2}{cosθ}\).

To proving \(\frac{1}{secθ − tanθ}\) - \(\frac{1}{cosθ}\) = \(\frac{1}{cosθ}\) - \(\frac{1}{secθ + tanθ}\) 

we have required to prove \(\frac{1}{secθ + tanθ}\) + \(\frac{1}{secθ + tanθ}\) = \(\frac{2}{cosθ}\).

Now, \(\frac{1}{secθ − tanθ}\) + \(\frac{1}{secθ + tanθ}\) = \(\frac{(sec\theta + tan \theta)(sec\theta -tan\theta)}{(sec\theta-tan\theta)(sec\theta +tan \theta}\) = \(\frac{2sec\theta}{sec^2 \theta - \tan^2\theta}\)

(∵ (a + b)(a – b) =a2 − b2 )

= 2 secθ = \(\frac{2}{cos \theta}\). (∵ sec2θ − tan2θ = 1 & secθ =\(\frac{1}{cosθ}\))

Hence, \(\frac{1}{sec\theta - tan \theta} + \frac{1}{sec\theta + tan \theta}\) = \(\frac{2}{cos\theta}\) = \(\frac{1}{cos\theta} + \frac{1}{cos\theta}\)

⇒ \(\frac{1}{sec\theta-tan \theta} - \frac{1}{cos \theta}\) = \(\frac{1}{cos \theta}\) - \(\frac{1}{sec\theta +tan \theta}\).

Hence proved

Solve: (5+2x)^2 d^2y/dx^2- 6 (5+2x)dy/dx + 8y=6x

Answer» For the equation ((5+2x)^2)y’’ - (5+2x)y’ + 8y = 6x , take 5+2x = e^t . Then

y’(x) = 2y’(t)e^(-t) , y’’(x) = 4[ y’’(t) - y’(t) ]e^(-2t) and the equation becomes

2y’’ -3y’ + 4y = (3/2)e^t - 15/2.The characteristic polynomium is 2m^2 - 3m + 4=0

roots 3/4 +i((23)^1/2)/4 , 3/4 - i((23)^1/2)/4 . Then the solution of the homogeneous

part is yh = (e^3/4t)( C1 cos((23^1/2)/4)t + C2sin((23^1/2)/4)t ). For the particular

integral try yp = Ae^t + B . Substituting inthe equation obtain A = 1/2 , B = -15/8.

Finally y(t) = (e^3/4t)( C1cos((23^1/2)/4)t + C2sin((23^1/2)/4)t ) +e^t/2 -15/8 .

The solution of the equation is obtained with t = ln(5 + 2x).

Find the equation of the circle passing through (2,-1) having the centre at (2,3).

Answer»

The equation of circle whose radius is r and centre is (2, 3) is

\((x -2)^2 + (y -3)^2 = r^2\)

It is passing through points (2, - 1).

\(\therefore (2 - 2)^2 + (- 1 - 3)^2 = r^2\)

⇒ \(r^2 = (-4)^2 = 16\)

\(\therefore r = 4\)

\(\therefore \) Equation of circle is

\((x -2)^2 + (y -3)^2 = 4^2\)

⇒ \((x -2)^2 +(y - 3)^2 = 16\)

or \(x^2 + y^2 - 4x - 6y + 4 + 9= 16\)

⇒ \(x^2 + y^2 - 4x -6y = 3\).

Answer»

Real Number

One of the fact you must know about real number is “It is named as real number because it is not imaginary.” It is a part of imaginary number.

Formally real number is defined as the number which can be expressed on number line. Any number you are thinking beyond is real number except zero and neglecting Imaginary number.

There is a unique real number corresponding to every point on the number line. Also, corresponding to each real number, there is a unique point on the number line.

There are some types of real numbers:

  1. Natural Number
  2. Whole Number
  3. Integers
  4. Rational Number
  5. Irrational Number
  6. Fraction

Formulas Related to Real Number:

  1. \(\sqrt{ab}\:=\: \sqrt{a}\sqrt{b}\)
  2. \(\sqrt{\frac{a}{b}} \:=\:\frac{\sqrt{a}}{\sqrt{b}}\)
  3. \((\sqrt{a}\:+\:\sqrt{b})(\sqrt{a}\:-\:\sqrt{b})\) = a - b
  4. (a + \(\sqrt{b}\))(a - \(\sqrt{b}\)) = a2 – b
  5. (\(\sqrt{a}\:+\:\sqrt{b})\)2 = a + 2\(\sqrt{ab}\) + b
  6. To rationalise the denominator of \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{a}\:+\:b}\) multiply it by \(\frac{\sqrt{a}\:-\:b}{\sqrt{a}\:-\:b}\), where a and b are integers.

Euclid’s division lemma:

[A lemma is a proven statement used for proving another statement].

If there are two positive integers a and b, there exist whole numbers q and r satisfying
a = bq + r   [0 ≤ r < b].

Euclid’s division algorithm:

[An algorithm is a series of well-defined steps which gives a procedure for solving a type of problem].

This algorithm provided the way to calculate HCF.It is based on on Euclid’s division lemma.

According to this algorithm, the HCF of any two positive integers a and b, with a > b, is obtained as follows:

Step 1: Apply the division lemma to find q and r where a = bq + r, 0 ≤ r < b.

Step 2: If r = 0, the HCF is b. If r ≠ 0, apply Euclid’s lemma to b and r.

Step 3: Continue the process until the remainder is zero. The divisor at this stage will be HCF (a, b). Also, HCF(a, b) = HCF(b, r).

Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic:

It is also known as “unique factorization theorem” or “unique prime factorization theorem”.

Every composite number can be expressed (factorised) as a product of prime numbers, and this factorisation is unique, apart from the order in which the prime factors occur.

Answer»

Polynomial

To understand about polynomials Let us first break the word poly+nomial. Where “poly” means “many” and “nomial” means “terms”. As the meaning itself suggests that it must be the mathematical expression which contains many terms. Exactly it is what is being said. It contains variables, coefficients, constants, and follows addition, subtraction and multiplication and also it contains non-negative exponents. There we listed out polynomial examples.

It is also a broader part of algebra which has its own implications in solving mathematical expressions in equations.

Terms used in polynomial:

  1. Variable: The term ‘x’ generally used in algebra is variable which takes its value according to different mathematical expression. It is also called
  2. Coefficient: The numerical which is attached to variables is known as coefficient.
  3. Constant: The numerical term in an equation which has no variable attached.

Polynomial Examples: In expression 2x+3, x is variable  and 2 is coefficient and 3 is constant term.

Notation of polynomial:

Polynomial is denoted as function of variable as it is symbolized as P(x).

Different kinds of polynomial:

There are several kinds of polynomial based on number of terms.

Monomial: The polynomial expression which contain single term.

Binomial: The polynomial expression which contain two terms.

Trinomial: The polynomial expression which contain two terms.

Polynomial Examples:
4x2y is a monomial.
2xy3 + 4y is a binomial.
4xy + 2x2 + 3 is a trinomial.

Degree of polynomial

The degree of polynomial with single variable is the highest power among all the monomials.

In terms of degree of polynomial polynomial.

  1. Quadratic Polynomial: A polynomial of degree 2 is called quadratic polynomial.
  2. Cubic polynomial: A polynomial of degree 3 is called cubic polynomial.

Zeroes of polynomial:

A real number ‘a’ is a zero of a polynomial p(x) if p(a) = 0. In this case, a is also called a root of the equation p(x) = 0.

Every linear polynomial in one variable has a unique zero, a non-zero constant polynomial has no zero, and every real number is a zero of the zero polynomial.

Remainder Theorem:

If p(x) is any polynomial of degree greater than or equal to 1 and p(x) is divided by the linear polynomial (x – a), then the remainder is p(a).
expressed as p(x) = g(x).q(x) + r(x) where, r(x) = 0 or [degree r(x)] < [degree g(x)].

Factor Theorem:

(x – a) is a factor of the polynomial p(x), if p(a) = 0. Also, if (x – a) is a factor of p(x), then p(a) = 0.

Formulae to Learn:

  • (x + y + z)2= x2 + y2 + z2 + 2xy + 2yz + 2zx
  • (x + y)= x3 + y3 + 3xy(x + y)
  • (x – y)3 = x– y3– 3xy(x – y)
  • x+ y3 + z3 – 3xyz = (x + y + z)(x2+ y2+ z2– xy – yz – zx

Polynomial Examples:

Find the remainder when x4 + x3 – 2x2 + x + 1 is divided by x – 1.

Solution:

Here, p(x) = x4 + x3 – 2x2 + x + 1, and the zero of x – 1 is 1.
So, p(1) = (1)4 + (1)3 – 2(1)2 + 1 + 1
= 2
So, by the Remainder Theorem, 2 is the remainder when x4 + x3 – 2x2 + x + 1 is divided by x – 1.

Verify whether 2 and 0 are zeroes of the polynomial x2 – 2x.

Solution:

Let p(x) = x2 –  2x
Then p(2) = 22 – 4 = 4 – 4 = 0
and p(0) = 0 – 0 = 0
Hence, 2 and 0 are both zeroes of the polynomial x2 – 2x.

The following observations took place:

(i) zero of a polynomial need not be 0.

(ii) 0 may be a zero of a polynomial.

(iii) Every linear polynomial has one and only one zero.

(iv) A polynomial can have more than one zero.

23.

The LCM of three different numbers is 120. Which of the following cannot be their HCF?

Answer»

LCM is the multiplication of one common factor of the numbers and the other different factors of the numbers.

Write the LCM = 120 into factored form, that is

120 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 5

= 4(2 × 3 × 5)

⇒ 4 is the common factor of the numbers.

So, the HCF of three numbers is a multiple of 4.

Multiples of 4: 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40, ...

Since 35 is not the multiple of 4, therefore 35 cannot be their HCF.

What is the normal level of glucose in blood? How is this level maintained?

Answer»

The normal level of glucose is 70-110 mg/100 ml blood. The level of glucose in blood is maintained by the combined action of insulin and glucagon of the Islets of Langerhans tissues of the pancreas. Insulin, released from the beta cells of Islets of Langerhans, helps to reduce blood sugar by accelerating the process of cellular uptake of glucose and Conversion of glucose in to glycogen. When blood glucose level falls, glucagon, released from the alpha cells of Islets of Langerhans, converts glycogen to glucose and synthesizes glucose from amino acids.

Each of the question below consists of a question and three statements number I, II and III given below it. You have to decide whether the data provided in the statement are sufficient to answer the question.What is the ratio of the age of A to that B?I. Sum of the age of A, B and C is 15. C is the eldest whereas A is the youngest. Age of A is more than 3 years. No two of three are of the same age.II. Difference between the age of B and C is 2. Sum of age of A and C is 12III. Different between age of A and D is equal to the different between the ages of D and C.Age of D is 30. Age of A &gt; D &gt; B.1. Only statement II alone is sufficient.2. Only statement III alone is sufficient.3. Only I and II together are sufficient.4. Only statement I alone is sufficient.5. All I, II and III together are needed.

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 4 : Only statement I alone is sufficient.

From I:

Let the age of A, B and C be a, b, and c respectively

a + b + c = 15

c > b > a and a > 3

If a = 4, b = 5 and c = 6, the sum of the age of A, B and C is 15. No other case is possible,

So, the ratio of age of A and B will be 4 : 5

Hence statement I alone is sufficient.

From II:

Let the age of A, B and C be a, b, and c respectively

b – c = 2 and a + c = 12

b – c + a + c = 2 + 12

⇒ b + a = 14

But we cannot determine the ratio of age of A and B.

Hence Statement II alone is not sufficient.

From III:

Let the age of A, B and D be a, b, and d respectively

a – d = d - c

⇒ a + c = 2d

⇒ a + c = 2 × 30

⇒ a + c = 30

But we cannot determine the ratio of age of A and B.

Hence statement III alone is not sufficient.

Only statement III along is sufficient.4. Only statement I and II together is sufficient.5. Either statement I alone or statement III alone is sufficient.

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 5 : Either statement I alone or statement III alone is sufficient.

From I:

Let the rate of interest be R%.

A × R × 4/100 = 2A –A

⇒ R = 25%

Hence statement I is alone sufficient

From II:

Let the rate of interest be R%.

Simple interest earned by mamta = 5000Rt/100

Simple interest earned by sajan = 3000RT/100

5000Rt/3000RT = 4/7

⇒ 5t/3T = 4/7

⇒ But we cannot determine the rate of interest.

Hence, statement II alone is not sufficient.

From III:

Let the rate of interest be R%.

S[R/100 + 1]2 = 4S

⇒ [R/100 + 1] = 2

R = 100%

Hence, statement III is alone sufficient.

The following question is accompanied by two statements (I) and (II). You have to determine which statements(s) is/are sufficient/necessary to answer the questions.In a company there are total 360 employees in the office. Number of employees who plays cricket is 288. Find the number of employees who doesn’t play any game. (Assume cricket and pool are the only two games they play)I. 216 employees play only cricket but not pool.II. The total numbers of employees who play either cricket or pool or both is 216 more than the number of employees who does not play any game.1. Statement I along is sufficient, but statement II alone is not sufficient.2. Statement II along is sufficient, but statement I alone is not sufficient.3. Both statement together are sufficient, but neither statement alone is sufficient.4. Either statement alone is sufficient.5. Statement I and II together are not sufficient.

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : Statement II along is sufficient, but statement I alone is not sufficient.

Lets number of employees who plays cricket is F1,

Number of employees who play pool is F2,

Number of employees who play both cricket and pool is G and

Number of employees who doesn’t play any game is H.

Total employees = F1 + F2 – G + H = 360      ----(1)

F1 = 288

From I:

Employees who plays only chess = F1 – G = 216

G = 288-216 = 72

But, we cannot find the value of H.

So. I alone is not sufficient.

From II:

Number of employees who play either cricket or pool or both = (F1 + F2 - G)

Number of employees who does not play any game = H = (F1 + F2 - G) – 216

⇒ (F1 + F2 – G) = H + 216      ----(2)

From equation (1) and (2)

⇒ H + 216 + H = 360

⇒ 2H = 144

⇒ H = 72

Hence, total employes who doesn’t play any game is 72.

So, II alone is sufficient.
