Latest Simplification MCQ Objective Questions

Simplification Question 1:

If (125)x = 3125, then, x = ? 

  1. 5
  2. 3/5
  3. 3
  4. 5/3
  5. None of the above

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)

Option 4 : 5/3

Simplification Question 1 Detailed Solution

Given:

(125)x = 3125

Formula Used:

To find the value of x" id="MathJax-Element-78-Frame" role="presentation" style="position: relative;" tabindex="0">x" id="MathJax-Element-9-Frame" role="presentation" style="position: relative;" tabindex="0">x" id="MathJax-Element-5-Frame" role="presentation" style="position: relative;" tabindex="0">x" id="MathJax-Element-3-Frame" role="presentation" style="position: relative;" tabindex="0">x in the equation \((a)x = b\), we can use logarithms or recognize powers.

Calculation:

We know that 125 = 53, so we can rewrite the equation:

(53)x = 3125

Using the power of a power property, (am)n = am×n:

⇒ 53x = 3125

We also know that 3125 = 55, so we can rewrite the equation:

⇒ 53x = 55

Since the bases are the same, we can equate the exponents:

⇒ 3x = 5

⇒ x = 5/3

The correct answer is option 4.

Simplification Question 2:

Simplify:

\(\rm 864\div \left\{\frac{3}{4}\left[\frac{16}{15}\right]-\frac{2}{3}\right\}=?\)

  1. 8640
  2. 8460
  3. 6480
  4. 6840
  5. None of the above

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)

Option 3 : 6480

Simplification Question 2 Detailed Solution

Concept Used:

Calculation:

⇒ \(\rm 864÷ \left\{\frac{3}{4}\left[\frac{16}{15}\right]-\frac{2}{3}\right\} \)

⇒ 864 ÷ {3/4 × 16/15 - 2/3}

⇒ 864 ÷ {4/5 - 2/3}

⇒ 864 ÷ {\(\frac{4 × 3\ - \ 2 × 5}{5 × 3}\)}

⇒ 864 ÷ {\(\frac{12 \ - \ 10}{15}\)}

⇒ 864 ÷ 2/15

⇒ 864 × 15/2

⇒ 6480

∴ The simplified value is 6480

Simplification Question 3:

What value should come in place of question mark (?) in the following question?

\(2\frac{5}{8} \times 2\frac{1}{7} \div 4\frac{8}{5} \times5\frac{3}{5}=?\)

  1. \(5 \frac{3}{8}\)
  2. \({5 \frac{4}{8}}\)
  3. \(5 \frac{5}{8}\)
  4. \(25 \frac{1}{8}\)
  5. None of the above

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)

Option 3 : \(5 \frac{5}{8}\)

Simplification Question 3 Detailed Solution

Calculation

⇒ \(2\frac{5}{8} \times 2\frac{1}{7} \div 4\frac{8}{5} \times5\frac{3}{5}=?\)

⇒ 21/8 × 15/7 ÷ 28/5 × 28/5

⇒ 21/8 × 15/7 × 5/28 × 28/5 

⇒ 21/8 × 15/7 × 1

⇒ (45/8) × 1

\(5\frac{5}{8}\)

∴ The answer is \(5\frac{5}{8}\)

Simplification Question 4:

  1. 17.15 
  2. 18.15 
  3. 16.15 
  4. 15.15
  5. None of the above

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)

Option 1 : 17.15 

Simplification Question 4 Detailed Solution

Given:

35.17 + 21.53 + 37.61 - 42.86a+b+cd=3×?" id="MathJax-Element-265-Frame" role="presentation" style="position: relative;" tabindex="0">" id="MathJax-Element-1-Frame" role="presentation" style="position: relative;" tabindex="0">" id="MathJax-Element-17-Frame" role="presentation" style="position: relative;" tabindex="0">" id="MathJax-Element-75-Frame" role="presentation" style="position: relative;" tabindex="0">" id="MathJax-Element-42-Frame" role="presentation" style="position: relative;" tabindex="0">" id="MathJax-Element-45-Frame" role="presentation" style="position: relative;" tabindex="0">

Calculation:

35.17 + 21.53 + 37.61 - 42.86

⇒ 35.17 + 21.53 = 56.70

⇒ 56.70 + 37.61 = 94.31

⇒ 94.31 - 42.86 = 51.45

Expression: 3 × ? = 51.45

⇒ ? = 51.45 / 3

⇒ ? = 17.15

The correct answer is option 1.

Simplification Question 5:

If \(\frac{\sqrt{13}-1}{\sqrt{13}+1}=a+b \sqrt{13} \) , then what are the values of a and b?

  1. \(a=\frac{5}{6}, b=-\frac{1}{6} \)
  2. a = 0, b = 0
  3. \(a=\frac{1}{6}, b=-\frac{1}{6} \)
  4. \(a=\frac{7}{6}, b=-\frac{\mathbf{1}}{6} \)
  5. None of the above

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)

Option 4 : \(a=\frac{7}{6}, b=-\frac{\mathbf{1}}{6} \)

Simplification Question 5 Detailed Solution

Given:

(√13 − 1)/(√13 + 1) = a + b√13

Formula used:

Rationalize denominator: (a − b)/(a + b) = [(a − b)(a − b)] / [(a + b)(a − b)]

Use: (a + b)(a − b) = a² − b²

Calculation:

(√13 − 1)/(√13 + 1)

⇒ Multiply numerator and denominator by (√13 − 1)

⇒ [(√13 − 1) × (√13 − 1)] / [(√13 + 1) × (√13 − 1)]

⇒ (13 − 2√13 + 1) / (13 − 1)

⇒ (14 − 2√13) / 12

⇒ 14/12 − (2√13)/12

⇒ 7/6 − (√13)/6

∴ a = 7/6 and b = −1/6

Solution:

\(12\frac{1}{2} + 12\frac{1}{3} + 12\frac{1}{6}\)

= 25/2 + 37/3 + 73/6

= (75 + 74 + 73)/6

= 222/6

= 37


Shortcut Trick

\(12\frac{1}{2} + 12\frac{1}{3} + 12\frac{1}{6}\)

= 12 + 12 + 12 + (1/2 + 1/3 + 1/6)

Solution:

We have to follow the BODMAS rule

quesImage82

Calculation:

\(? = \sqrt[5]{{{{\left( {243} \right)}^2}}}\)

 

\(⇒ ? = (243)^{\frac{2}{5}}\)

\(⇒ ? = (3 × 3 × 3 × 3 × 3)^{2⁄5}\)

\(⇒ ? = (3^5)^{2⁄5}\)

⇒ ? = 32

∴ ? = 9

Formula used:

(a + b)2 = a2 + b2 + 2ab

Calculation:

Given expression is:

\(\sqrt {8\; + \;2\sqrt {15} \;} \)

⇒  \(\sqrt {5\; + \;3\; + \;2\times \sqrt 5 \times \sqrt 3 \;} \)

⇒  \(\sqrt {{{(\sqrt 5 )}^2}\; + \;{{\left( {\sqrt 3 } \right)}^2}\; + \;2 \times \sqrt 5 \times \sqrt 3 \;} \)

⇒  \(\sqrt {{{\left( {\;\sqrt 5 \; + \;\sqrt 3 \;} \right)}^2}\;} \)

⇒  \(\sqrt 5 + \sqrt 3 \)

On simplification \(\sqrt {{{\left( {0.65} \right)}^2} - {{\left( {0.16} \right)}^2}} \) reduces to

  1. 0.63
  2. 0.65
  3. 0.54
  4. None of these

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)

Option 1 : 0.63

Simplification Question 10 Detailed Solution

Download Solution PDF

\(\sqrt {{{\left( {0.65} \right)}^2} - {{\left( {0.16} \right)}^2}} \)

Since,

a2 - b2 = (a - b) ( a + b)

\(\begin{array}{l} \Rightarrow \sqrt {\left( {0.65 + 0.16} \right)\left( {0.65 - 0.16} \right)} \\ \Rightarrow \sqrt {\left( {0.81} \right)\left( {0.49} \right)} \\ \Rightarrow \sqrt {\left( {0.9} \right)\left( {0.9} \right) \times \left( {0.7} \right)\left( {0.7} \right)} \end{array}\)

⇒ 0.9 × 0.7 = 0.63

∴ Answer is 0.63
