Multiple choice maths squares and square roots finding the square of a number finding square of a number patterns in square numbers

If $2l - 3m = -1$ and $lm = 20$, then the value of $4l^{2} + 9m^{2}$ is ________.

  1. $239$
  2. $240$
  3. $241$
  4. $361$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

We know the identity $a^{2}+b^{2}-2ab = (a-b)^{2}$

Given, $2l-3m= -1$

Squaring on both sides, we get 

$(2l-3m)^{2}= (-1)^{2}$

$\Rightarrow 4l^{2}+9m^{2}-12lm = 1$     .....Also given that $lm =20 $

$\Rightarrow 4l^{2}+9m^{2}-12 \times 20 = 1$

$\Rightarrow 4l^{2}+9m^{2}-240 = 1$

$\Rightarrow 4l^{2}+9m^{2}= 241$

Hence, option C is correct.

Multiple choice maths solving equations numerically finding roots by iteration fundamental theorem of algebra complex numbers and linear inequations

If $(8x)^2 + (6x)^2 = d^2$ and $d = 200$, then $8x \times 6x$ is equal to

  1. 18,200

  2. 18,500

  3. 18,900

  4. 19,200

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

$(8x)^2+(6x)^2=d^2$
or $64x^2+36x^2=d^2$
or $100x^2=d^2$
or $d=\sqrt {100x^2}=10x$
$10x=200$
$\therefore x=\frac {200}{10}=20$
Hence, $8x\times 6x=8\times 20\times 6\times 20=19,200$

If $^{ 56 }{ { P } _{ r+6 } }:^{ 54 }{ { P } _{ r+3 }}=30800$, then $r$ is

  1. $39$
  2. $41$
  3. $28$
  4. $43$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation
$^{ 56 }{ P } _{ r+6 }:^{ 54 }{ P } _{ r+3 }=30800$
$\cfrac { \cfrac { 56! }{ \left( 50-r \right) ! }  }{ \cfrac { 54! }{ \left( 51-r \right) ! }  } =30800$
$\cfrac { 56!\times \left( 51-r \right) ! }{ 54!\left( 50-r \right) ! } =30800$
$56\times 55\times \left( 51-r \right) =30800$
$\left( 51-r \right) =\cfrac { 30800 }{ 56\times 55 }$
$\left( 51-r \right) =10$
$r=41$

How many $4$-letter words, with or without meaning, can be formed out of the letters of the word, 'LOGARITHMS', if repetition of letters is not allowed?

  1. $5040$
  2. $1000$
  3. $2500$
  4. $2060$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

There are $10$ letters in the word 'LOGARITHMS'.
So, the number of $4$-letter word$=$Number of arrangements of $10$ letters, taken $4$ at a time
$=$ $^{10}P _4=5040$.

Product of $3,535$ and $78$ is

  1. $2,76,730$
  2. $27,573$
  3. $2,75,730$
  4. $2,77,530$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

$\Rightarrow$  $3535\times 78$

$\Rightarrow$  $(3000+500+30+5)\times (70+8)$
$\Rightarrow$  $70(3000+500+30+5)+8(3000+500+30+5)$
$\Rightarrow$  $(210000+35000+2100+350)+(24000+4000+240+40)$
$\Rightarrow$  $247450+28280$
$\Rightarrow$  $275730$
$\therefore$   $3,535\times 78=2,75,730$

Round off to nearest hundreds: The given number is $1,78,762$

  1. $1,78,760$
  2. $1,78,700$
  3. $1,78,800$
  4. $17,800$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Given number is $1,78,762$ 
First we see $10's$ place place value which is $62$ and it is more than $50$.
Now we will round up means to round off $762$ it will become $800$
So the correct answer is $1,78,800$.
