a) 1.04
b) 1.4
c) 1.02
d) 1.2
View Answer
Explanation: \(\frac{0.49-0.25}{0.2}=\frac{0.7^2-0.5^2}{0.7-0.5}=\frac{(0.7+0.5)(0.7-0.5)}{0.7-0.5}\)=1.2 .
4. Find the value of \(\frac{0.24*0.24*0.24-0.12*0.12*0.12}{0.72*0.72*0.72-0.36*0.36*0.36}\).
a) 1/9
b) 1/3
c) 1/27
d) 1/21
View Answer
Explanation: \(\frac{0.24*0.24*0.24-0.12*0.12*0.12}{0.72*0.72*0.72-0.36*0.36*0.36} = \frac{0.24^3-0.12^3}{(3*0.24)^3-(3*0.12)^3} =\frac{0.24^3-0.12^3}{27(0.24^3-0.12^3)}=\frac{1}{27}\).
5. Find the value of \(\frac{0.64^3+0.36^3}{0.64^2+0.36^2-0.64*0.36}\).
a) 1
b) 0.28
c) 1.28
d) 1.1
View Answer
Explanation: \(\frac{a^3+b^3}{a^2-ab+b^2}\)=a+b
\(\frac{0.64^3+0.36^3}{0.64^2+0.36^2-0.64*0.36}\)=0.64+0.36=1.
6. Find the value of \(\frac{a^3-b^3}{a^2+ab+b^2}\), for a = 1.1 and b = 0.2.
a) 0.8
b) 0.9
c) 1.3
d) 0.7
View Answer
Explanation:\(\frac{a^3-b^3}{a^2+ab+b^2}\)=a-b=1.1-0.2=0.9.
7. Find the value of \(\frac{0.64^2-0.49^2-0.36^2}{0.064^2-0.049^2-0.036^2}\).
a) 10
b) 1/100
c) 100
d) 1/300
View Answer
Explanation: \(\frac{0.64^2-0.49^2-0.36^2}{0.064^2-0.049^2-0.036^2}=\frac{0.64^2-0.49^2-0.36^2}{(\frac{0.64}{10})^2-(\frac{0.49}{10})^2-(\frac{0.36}{10})^2}\)=100.
8. Find the value of 0.0813+0.0093+0.002187*0.009.
a) 0.000729
b) 0.00729
c) 0.0000729
d) 0.729
View Answer
Explanation: a3+b3+3ab(a+b) = (a+b)3.
0.0813+0.0093+0.002187*0.009 = 0.0813 + 0.0093 + 3*0.081*0.009(0.081+0.009) = (0.081+0.009)3 = 0.093 = 0.000729.
9. Which of the following is equal to 1?
a) \(\frac{0.21^2}{2.1^2*0.1} \)
b) \(\frac{2.1^2}{21^2*0.01^2} \)
c) \(\frac{0.021^2}{2.1^2*0.01^2} \)
d) \(\frac{0.21^2}{21^2*0.01} \)
View Answer
Explanation: \(\frac{0.021^2}{2.1^2*0.01^2} = \frac{21^2*10^{-6}}{(21^2*10^{-2}*10^{-4}}\)=1.
Hence, \(\frac{0.021^2}{2.1^2*0.01^2}\) is the answer.
10. Find the value of \(\frac{0.8^2+0.2^2}{0.64^2-0.04^2}\).
a) 1.16
b) 0.16
c) 1.6
d) 0.6
View Answer
Explanation: \(\frac{0.8^2+0.2^2}{0.64^2-0.04^2}=\frac{0.64+0.04}{(0.64+0.04)(0.64-0.04)}=\frac{1}{0.6}\)=1.6.
