Correct Answer: 10
Explanation:
As we know that given in question,
ax + by = 6 ........................ (i)
bx ? ay = 2 ........................ (ii)
On squaring the both equation and adding,
a2 x2 + b2 y2 + 2abxy + b2 x2 + a2 y2 ? 2abxy = 36 + 4
? x2 (a2 + b2) + y2 (a2 + b2) = 40
? (a2 + b2) (x2 + y2) = 40
As per given question, x2 + y2 = 40 , Put this value in above equation, we will get
? (a2 + b2) × 4 = 40
? a2 + b2 = 10
Correct Answer: ? 1
Explanation:
Correct Answer: 0
Explanation:
As we know from the formula,
A3 + B3 + C3 = ( A + B + C) (A2 + B2 + C2 ? AB ? BC ? CA) + 3ABC
If A + B + C = 0 then,
A3 + B3 + C3 = 0 x (A2 + B2 + B2 ? AB ? BC ? CA) + 3ABC
A3 + B3 + C3 = 0 + 3ABC
A3 + B3 + C3 - 3ABC= 0
As we know that from given question,
A = a, B = b and C = 1, Put these value in above equation, we will get
a3 + b3 + 13 - 3 x a x b x 1 = 0
a3 + b3 + 1 - 3ab = 0
Correct Answer: -3, -4 and x2 + 7x + 12
Explanation:
When p is wrong i.e., -b/a = (? + ?) is wrong but c/a =(??) is correct.
Then ?? = c/a = 2 x 6 = 12 ....(i)
Again, when q is wrong i.e.,c/a = (?.? ) is wrong but -b/a = ?+? is correct.
Then, -b/a = ?+?= 2 + (-9) = -7
So, the required correct quadratic equations is
x2 -(? + ?)x + ?.?=0
? x2 - (-7)x + 12 = 0
? x2 + 7x + 12 = 0
and correct roots this equations are -3, -4.
Correct Answer: Rs. 58
Explanation:
Let the cost of each apple,orange nd pear be Rs.x,y and z, respectively.Then,
2x + 3y + z = 62 ...(i)
5x + 6y + 4z = 20 ...(ii)
On subtracting Eq.(i)from Eq.(ii), we get
3x + 3y + 3z = 58
So, the cost of 3 apple,3 oranges and 3 pears is Rs. 58.
Correct Answer: 1
Explanation:
Given in the question,
Points (a, b) and [(a + 3), (b + k)] will satisfy the equation x ? 3y + 7 = 0.
Points (a, b) in the equation x ? 3y + 7 = 0, We will get
? a ? 3b + 7 = 0 ...................... (i)
Points (a + 3), (b + k) in the equation x ? 3y + 7 = 0, We will get
a + 3 ? 3 (b + k) + 7 = 0
? a + 3 ? 3b ? 3 k + 7 = 0 (Rearrange the equation)
? a ? 3b + 7 + 3 ? 3 k = 0 (a ? 3b + 7 = 0 , Put the value from Equation (1) ), We will get
? 0 + 3 ? 3k = 0
? 3k = 3
? k = 1

Correct Answer: 31.5 sq. unit
Explanation:
Correct Answer: 6 ?6
Explanation:
Given in the question ,
x - 1 = ?2 + ?3
On squaring both sides ,
x 2 ? 2x + 1 = 2 + 3 + 2?6
? x 2 - 2x - 4 = 2 ?6
On squaring again,
? x4 + 4x2 + 16 ? 4x3 ? 8x2 + 16x = 24
? x4 ? 4x3 ? 4x2 + 16x ? 8 = 0
? 2x4 ? 8x3 ? 8x2 + 32x ? 16 = 0
? 2x4 ? 8x3 ? 5x2 + 26x ? 28 ? 3x2 + 6x + 12 = 0
? 2x4 ? 8x3 ? 5x2 + 26x ? 28 = 3x2 ? 6x ? 12
? 2x4 ? 8x3 ? 5x2 + 26x ? 28 = 3 (x2 ? 2x ? 4)
? 2x4 ? 8x3 ? 5x2 + 26x ? 28 = 3 x 2?6 = 6 ?6
