Question 304

If (a + 1a1\over{a}) = 4, then what is the value of (a5 + 1a51\over{a^5})?

  1. AOption (a)

    709

  2. BOption (b)

    776

  3. COption (c)

    724

  4. DOption (d)

    770

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (c)C.

724

Why this answer is correct

Shortcut Trick

Use identity pattern:

a + 1/a = 4

⇒ a2 + 1/a2 = 42 − 2 = 16 − 2 = 14

⇒ a3 + 1/a3 = 4 × 14 − 4 = 56 − 4 = 52

⇒ a5 + 1/a5 = (a2 + 1/a2)(a3 + 1/a3) − (a + 1/a)

⇒ = (14 × 52) − 4 = 728 − 4 = 724

∴ Answer = 724

Alternate Method

Given:

⇒ a + 1/a = 4

Formula:

⇒ an + 1/an formed using recurrence:

an + 1/an = (a + 1/a)(an−1 + 1/an−1) − (an−2 + 1/an−2)

Calculations:

⇒ a2 + 1/a2 = 4 × 4 − 2 = 16 − 2 = 14

⇒ a3 + 1/a3 = 4 × 14 − 4 = 56 − 4 = 52

⇒ a4 + 1/a4 = 4 × 52 − 14 = 208 − 14 = 194

⇒ a5 + 1/a5 = 4 × 194 − 52 = 776 − 52 = 724

Final Answer: 724

Additional Information

1. Basic Identity: a2 + 1/a2 = (a + 1/a)2 − 2

2. Cubic Identity: a3 + 1/a3 = (a + 1/a)3 − 3(a + 1/a)

3. Recurrence Relation: Tn = (a + 1/a)Tn−1 − Tn−2

4. Exam Tip: Always build values stepwise instead of expanding high powers directly

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (d)D.

Both 2 & 3

Why this answer is correct

Concept:

  • R.H. Whittaker (1969) proposed a Five Kingdom Classification. The kingdoms defined by him were named Monera, Protista, Fungi, Plantae and Animalia.
  • The main criteria for classification used by him include cell structure, body organisation, mode of nutrition, reproduction and phylogenetic relationships.

Explanation

  • Fungi constitute a unique kingdom of heterotrophic organisms. It shows a great diversity in morphology and habitat.
  • Fungi are cosmopolitan and occur in air, water, soil, animals, and plants.
  • Fungi are categorized into 4 classes: Ascomycetes, basidiomycetes, Phycomycetes & Deuteromycetes
  • Most fungi are heterotrophic and absorb soluble organic matter from dead substrates and hence are called saprophytes.
  • Those that depend on living plants and animals are called parasites.
  • They can also live as symbionts – in association with algae as lichens and with roots of higher plants as mycorrhiza.
  • Thereby the correct option is both 2 & 3

Additional Information

KingdomMode of nutrition
MoneraAutotrophic (chemosynthetic and photosynthetic) and Heterotrophic (saprophytic/ parasitic)
ProtistaAutotrophic (Photosynthetic) and Heterotrophic
FungiHeterotrophic (Saprophytic/ Parasitic)
PlantaeAutotrophic (Photosynthetic)

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (a)A.

3 days

Why this answer is correct

Given:

5 men can prepare 10 toys in 6 days working 6 hours a day

Concept:

We will use the man-hour concept here to solve this problem

Formula:

(M1 × d1 × h1)/ W1 = (M2 × d2 × h2)/ W2

Where M, d,h, W are numbers of men, number of days, number of hours and work done respectively.

Calculation:

(M1 × d1 × h1)/ W1 = (M2 × d2 × h2)/ W2

⇒ (5 × 6 × 6)/10 = (12 × d2 × 8)/16

⇒ 18 = 6 × d2

⇒ d2 = 3

⇒ Number of days to make 16 toys = 3 days

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (c)C.

opposite directions

Why this answer is correct

Concept:

Levers:

  • Levers are the most basic machines which are used to do some work with minimal effort.
  • A lever amplifies an input force to provide a greater output force, which is said to provide leverage.
  • Types: First class lever, second class lever, third class lever.

Class 1 levers:

  • It is a very simple machine comprised of a beam placed upon a fulcrum.

  • A load is placed onto one end of a beam, while an effort is directed onto the other end to counter the load.

  • In a first-class lever, the effort (force) moves over a large distance to move the load a smaller distance, and the fulcrum is between the effort (force) and the load.

  • Examples of first-class levers are pliers, scissors, a crowbar, a claw hammer, a see-saw, and a weighing balance.

Explanation:

  • A Class 1 lever has the fulcrum placed between the effort and load.
  • The movement of the load is in the opposite direction of the movement of the effort.
  • This is the most common lever configuration.
  • **The effort in a class 1 lever is in one direction, and the load moves in the opposite direction.**​

Additional Information

Second class lever:

  • In this class of lever, the load is applied in between the fulcrum and the effort force.
  • Examples: Wheelbarrow, Nutcracker, etc.

Third class lever:

  • In this class of lever, the fulcrum is at the one end and the effort force is applied in between the fulcrum and load.
  • Examples: Human arms, Tongs, tweezers, etc.
  • It consists of two levers which works together.
