  3. 3x=7y=(21)2
    Find the relation b/w x, y and z where x, y and z ≠ 0.
    A. z=xy
    B. z=x+y
    C. z=(xy/x+y)
    D. None of these

    Answer : Option C
    Let 3x = 7y = (21)z = k
    3x = k, 7y = k, 21z = k
    3 = k1/x, 7 = k1/y, 21 = k1/z
    Now, 21 = 3 × 7
    K1/z=k1/x ×k1/y
    1/z=1/x+1/y z=xy/x+y
  4. Find the value of √6+√6+√6+---∞
    A. 3
    B. 10
    C. -2
    D. None of these

    Answer : Option A
    √6+√6+√6+---∞ = x
    x =√6+x
    x2 = 6+x
    x2 - x - 6 = 0
    (x - 3) (x + 2) = 0
    x = 3 or -2
    But the given expression is positive, so rejecting x = - 2, we get the answer to be x = 3.
  5. Among the 21/3, 31/4, 51/6, 61/12 which one is greater.
    A. 21/3
    B. 31/4
    C. 51/6,
    D. 61/12

    Answer : Option B
    (212/3)1/12, (312/4)1/12, (512/6)1/12, (212/12)1/12
    (24)1/12, (33)1/12, (52)1/12, (6)1/12
    So 31/4 is greatest.
  1. If (p/q)x-4 = (q/p)x-8 , find value of x
    A. 3
    B. 4
    C. 5
    D. 6

    Answer : Option D
    (p/q)x-4 = (q/p)x-8
    x – 4 = 8 – x
    2x = 12 ⇒ x = 6
  2. If 3a = 2187 find the value of 32a – 10
    A. 9
    B. 27
    C. 3
    D. 81

    Answer : Option A
    3a = 2187 ⇒ 3a = 36
    So, a = 6
    So 32 × 6 - 10 = 312 - 10 = 9
  3. 52x – 3 =53123 find value of x
    A. 2
    B. 3
    C. 1
    D. -4

    Answer : Option B
    We have (1)23
    So 52x – 3 = 53
    2x – 3 = 3 x = 3
  4. [image]
    A. 120
    B. 210
    C. 270
    D. None of these

    Answer : Option C
  5. Simplify ((16)-9/4 × (125)3)-1/3
    A.1/20
    B. 20
    C. 10
    D. 2/5

    Answer : Option D
    [(24)-9/4 × (53)3]-1/9
    (2-9)-1/9 = 21 × 5-1 =2/5
