SSC CHSL ALGEBRA QUESTIONS

Q.1: If a + b = p, ab = q, then (a4 + b4 ) is equal to:
(A) p4 – 4p2q + q2
(B) p4 – 4p2q2 + 2q2
(C) p4 – 2p2q2 + q2
(D) p4 – 4p2q + 2q2

Show Answer
Ans : (D) p4 – 4p2q + 2q2
a + b = p , ab = q
(a + b)2 = p2
a2 + 2ab + b2 = p2
a2 + b2 = p2 – 2q
(a2 + b2)2 = (p2 – 2q)2
a4 + b4 + 2a2b2 = p4 – 4p2q + 4q2 [ab = q, a2 b2 = q2]
a4 + b4 = p4 – 4p2q + 2q2

(A) 9
(B) 25
(C) 7
(D) 11

Show Answer
Ans : (C) 7
(x +\frac 1x)^3 = 27
x +\frac 1x = (27)^{1/3} = 3
x^2 +\frac {1}{x^2} + 2 = 9
x^2 +\frac {1}{x^2} = 9 - 2 = 7

(A) 2712
(B) 2502
(C) 2270
(D) 2702

Show Answer
Ans : (D) 2702
\sqrt{x} + \frac {1} {\sqrt x} = \sqrt6
(\sqrt{x} + \frac {1} {\sqrt x})^2 = (\sqrt6)^2
x +\frac 1x +2 = 6
x +\frac 1x = 4
(x +\frac 1 x)^2 = (4)^2
x^2 +\frac {1}{x^2} = 16 - 2 = 14
(x^2 +\frac {1}{x^2})^3 = (14)^3
x^6 +\frac {1}{x^6} + 3x^2\times\frac {1}{x^2}\times (x^2 + (\frac {1}{x^2}) = 2744
x^6 +\frac {1}{x^6} = 2744 - 42 = 2702

(A) 0
(B) -1
(C) 1
(D) \sqrt2

Show Answer
Ans : (B) -1
x2 + 1 – 2x = 0
x > 0
x = 1, so 1 + 1 – 2 = 0
Put x = 1 in x2(x2 – 2)
1 (1 – 2)
= -1

Q.6: If x^2 -3\sqrt2x + 1 =0 , then what is the value of x^3 + (\frac {1}{x^3}) ?
(A) 15\sqrt6
(B) 30\sqrt6
(C) 45\sqrt2
(D) 30\sqrt2

x^2 - 3\sqrt2x + 1 = 0
x - 3\sqrt2 +\frac1x = 0
x +\frac 1x =3\sqrt2
(x +\frac 1x)^3 = (3\sqrt2)^3
x^3 +\frac {1}{x^3} + 3x\times\frac1x\times (x +\frac1x) = 54\sqrt2
x^3 +\frac{1}{x^3} = 54\sqrt2 - 9\sqrt2
= 45\sqrt2

Q.7: If x – y = 4 and xy = 3 , then what is the value of x3 – y3 ?
(A) 88
(B) 100
(C) 64
(D) 28

Ans : (B) 100
x – y = 4
(x – y)3 = 43
x3 – y3 – 3xy (x – y) = 64 [Put xy = 3, x – y =4]
x3 – y3 – 3 x 3 x 4 = 64
x3 – y3 = 64 + 36 = 100

Q.8: If x -\frac 1x = 2\sqrt2 , then what will be the value of x^3 -\frac {1}{x^3} ?
(A) 12\sqrt2
(B) 10\sqrt2
(C) 20\sqrt2
(D) 22\sqrt2

Show Answer
Ans : (D) 22\sqrt2
x -\frac 1x =2\sqrt2
(x -\frac 1x)^3 = (2\sqrt2)^3
x^3 -\frac {1}{x^3} - 3\times x\times\frac 1x (x -\frac1x) = 16\sqrt2
x^3 -\frac {1}{x^3} - 3\times 2\sqrt2 = 16\sqrt2
x^3 -\frac {1}{x^3} = 16\sqrt2 + 6\sqrt2
= 22\sqrt2

Q.9: If x + 2y = 19 and x3 + 8y3 = 361 , then xy is equal to:
(A) 58
(B) 56
(C) 55
(D) 57

Show Answer
Ans : (D) 57
x + 2y = 19
(x + 2y)3 = (19)3
x3 + 8y3 + 6xy (x + 2y) = 6859
x3 + 8y3 + 6xy x 19 = 6859
6xy x 19 = 6859 – 361 = 6498
xy =\frac {6498}{19\times6}
xy = 57

Q.10: If (x^2 + \frac{1}{49x^2}) = 15\frac 57 , then what is the value of (x +\frac{1}{7x}) ?
(A) 4
(B) \pm 7
(C) \pm 4
(D) 7

Show Answer

(x^2 + \frac{1}{49x^2}) = 15\frac57
(x^2 + \frac{1}{7x})^2 + 2\times x\times \frac {1}{7x} =\frac{110}{7} + \frac27
(x + \frac{1}{7x})^2 = \frac{112}{7} = 16
x + \frac{1}{7x} =\pm 4

Q.11: If x + y = 27 and x2 + y2 = 425 , then the value of (x – y)2 will be:
(A) 121
(B) 225
(C) 169
(D) 144

Show Answer
Ans : (A) 121
x + y = 27
x2 + y2 = 425
(x + y)2 = (27)2
x2 + y2 + 2xy = 729
2xy = 729 – 425
2xy = 304
(x – y)2 = x2 + y2 – 2xy
= 425 – 304
(x – y)2 = 121

(A) 6
(B) 5
(C) 3
(D) 4

Show Answer
Ans : (A) 6
3x + y = 12
xy = 9
put x = 3, y = 3 Both Equation
So its satify
3x – y = 3 x 3 – 3
= 9 – 3 = 6

Q.13: If a2 + b2 + c2 = 576 and (ab + bc + ca) = 50 , then what is the value of (a + b + c), if (a+b+c) < 0 ?
(A) -24
(B) \pm 24
(C) \pm 26
(D) -26

Show Answer
Ans : (D) -26
(a + b + c)2 = a2 + b2 +c2 + 2 (ab + bc + ca)
576 + 2 x 50
(a + b + c)2 = 676
a + b + c = \pm 26
a + b + c < 0
so a+b+c = -26

Show Answer
Ans : (D) 3240
x +\frac{1}{3x} = 5
3x +\frac{1}{x} = 15 [ Multiply by 3]
(3x +\frac{1}{x})^3 = 15^3
27x^3 +\frac{1}{x^3} + 135 = 3375
27x^3 +\frac{1}{x^3} = 3375 - 135
=3240

Q.15:If 3x + 5y = 14 and xy = 6 , then what is the value of 9x2 + 25y2 ?
(A) 182

(C) 14
(D) 20

Show Answer
Ans : (B) 16
(3x + 5y)2 = (14)2
9x2 + 25y2 + 30xy = 196
9x2 + 25y2 + 30 x 6 = 196
9x2 + 25y2 = 196 – 180
9x2 + 25y2 = 16

Q.16: If a – b = 7 and a2 + b2 = 169 where a,b >0 , then the value of 3 a+b is:
(A) 41
(B) 46
(C) 38
(D) 44

Show Answer
Ans : (A) 41
a – b = 7
(a – b)2 = 72
a2 + b2 – 2ab = 49
169 – 2ab = 49
2ab = 169 – 49
2ab = 120
ab = 60 [12 x 5]
a = 12, b = 5
3a + b
= 3 x 12 + 5
= 41

Q.17: If a + 5b = 25 and ab = 20 , then one of the values of (a-5 b) is:
(A) 16
(B) 15
(C) 13
(D) 14

Show Answer
Ans : (B) 15
a + 5b = 25, ab = 20
Put a = 20
b = 1
so a – 5b
= 20 – 5 x 1 = 15

(\sqrt {x} +\frac{1}{x})^2 = (2\sqrt3)^2
x +\frac{1}{x} + 2 = 12
x +\frac{1}{x} = 10
x^2 + \frac{1}{x^2} = 100 - 2 = 98
x^4 + \frac{1}{x^4} = 98^2 - 2
= 9604 – 2
x^4 +\frac{1}{x^4} = 9602

Q.19: If (7x – 10y) = 8 and xy = 5 , then what is the value of 49x2 + 100y2 ?

49x2 + 100y2 = 64 + 140xy
= 64 + 140xy
= 64 + 140 x 5
= 764

Q.20: If x^2 +(4 - \sqrt {3})x - 1 = 0 , then what is the value of x^2 +\frac{1}{x^2} ?

(B) 17- 8\sqrt3
(C) 9- 8\sqrt3
(D) 21- 12\sqrt3

Show Answer
Ans : (A) 21- 8\sqrt3
x^2 +(4 -\sqrt3)x - 1 = 0
\div x Both side
x +(4 -\sqrt{3}) - \frac1x = 0
x -\frac1x = \sqrt3 - 4
square Both side
(x -\frac1x)^2 = (\sqrt 3 - 4)^2
x^2 +\frac{1}{x^2}  - 2 = 3 + 16 - 8\sqrt3
x^2 +\frac{1}{x^2} = 21 - 8\sqrt3

(C) 746
(D) 576

Show Answer
Ans : (B) 756
x^2 +\frac{1}{x^2} = 83
x^2 +\frac{1}{x^2} - 2 = 83 - 2
(x -\frac{1}{x})^2 = 81
x -\frac{1}{x} = 9
(x -\frac{1}{x})^3 = 9^3
x^3 -\frac{1}{x^3} -3x \frac1x (x -\frac1x) = 729
x^3 -\frac{1}{x^3} = 729 + 27
= 756

Show Answer
Ans : (A) 36
x +\frac1x = \sqrt{13}
x^2 +\frac{1}{x^2} + 2 = 13
x^2 +\frac{1}{x^2} = 11
x^2 +\frac{1}{x^2} - 2 = 11 - 2
x^2 +\frac{1}{x^2} - 2 = 9
(x -\frac{1}{x})^2 = 9
x -\frac1x = 3
x^3 +\frac{1}{x^3} - 3\times3 = 27
x^3 -\frac{1}{x^3} = 27 + 9
= 36

3x – 1 = 0
3x = 1
x =\frac13
put x =\frac13
27x^3 +\frac{1}{27^3}
27\times\frac{1}{27} +\frac{{1}\times{27}}{{27}\times{1}}
= 1 + 1 = 2

Show Answer
Ans : (D) 225\sqrt2
(\sqrt2y^2 - 5\sqrt3)^3
(a – b)3 = a3 – b3 – 3ab(a – b)
(\sqrt2y^2)^3 - (5\sqrt3)^3 - 3\sqrt2y^2\times5\sqrt3 (\sqrt2y^2 - 5\sqrt3)
केवल y2 का गुणांक लेने पर
= -3\sqrt2y^2 \times 5\sqrt3\times - 5\sqrt3
= +225\sqrt2y^2
y2 का गुणांक = 225\sqrt2

Show Answer
Ans : (D) 14
a + b + c = 2
(a + b + c)2 = ( 2 )2
a2+b2+c2 + 2(ab + bc + ca) = 4
a2+b2+c2 + 2 x(-1) = 4
a2+b2+c2 = 6
a3+b3+c3 – 3abc = (a+b+c) [(a2+b2+c2) – (ab+bc+ca)]
= 2[6 – (-1)]
= 2 x 7 = 14

Q.27: If x +\frac{1}{15x} =3 , then the value of 9x^3 +\frac{1}{375x^3} will be:

Ans : (B) 836
a+b+c = 11
(a+b+c)2 = 112
a2+b2+c2 + 2 (ab+bc+ca) = 121
a2+b2+c2 + 2 x 15 = 121
a2+b2+c2 = 121 – 30
a2+b2+c2 = 91
a3+b3+c3-3abc =(a+b+c) [(a2+b2+c2 )-(ab+bc+ca)]
= 11[91 – 15]
= 11 x 76
a3+b3+c3-3abc = 836

Q.29: If a+b+c = 5, a2+b2+c2 = 27, and a3+b3+c3 = 125 , then the value of \frac{abc}{5} is:

a2+b2+c2 +2(ab+bc+ca) = 25
27 + 2(ab+bc+ca) = 25
ab+bc+ca = -1
a3+b3+c3 -3abc = (a+b+c) [(a2+b2+c2 -(ab+bc+ca)
125 – 3abc = 5 [27 – (-1)
= 5 x 28
125 – 3abc = 140
3abc = -15
abc = -5
\frac{abc}{5} = -1

(x^2 + \frac{1}{x^2})^2 = 49
x^2 + \frac{1}{x^2} = 7
x^2 + \frac{1}{x^2} + 2 = 7+2
(x + \frac{1}{x})^2 = 9
x +\frac1x = 3
x2 + 1 = 3x
4x2 – 12x = -4
(2x – 3)2

(A) 5002
(B) 5008
(C) 5006
(D) 5004

Show Answer
Ans : (D) 5004
