If P = (23−41), Q = (68) and PQ = k (45−20). Find the value of k.
-54
-45

Correct answer is C
PQ = (23−41) = (68) = (36−16)
(36−16) = k = (45−20)
k = 3645
= 45
Calculate the distance between points (-2, -5) and (-1, 3)
√5 units
√17 units
√65 units
√73 units
Correct answer is C
distance = √(3−(−5)2+(−1−(−2)2)
= √82+12
= √65 units
Find the value of x for which 6√4x2+1 = 13x, where x > 0
65
2524
2425
56
Correct answer is A
√4x2+1 = 13x6
4x2 + 1 = 169x236
4 + x2 = 169x236
cross multiply
169x2 - 144x2 = 36
25x2 = 36
x2 = 3625
: x = ±65
Find the sum of the first 20 terms of the sequence -7-3, 1, ......
620
660
690
1240
Correct answer is A
d = -3 - (-7) = 4
S20 = 202{2(-7) + (20 - 1) 4}
= 10(- 14 + 76)
= 620
Given that 1x2−4=p(x+2)+Q(x−2)
x ≠±2
Find the value of (P + Q)
32

0
Correct answer is D
1x2−4=P(x+2)+Q(x−2)
I = p(x - 2) + Q(x + 2)
Let x = 2
I = P(2 - 2) + Q(2+ 2)
I = -4Q
Q = 14
Let x = -2
I = P(-2 - 2) + Q(-2 + 2)
I = -4p
P = 1−4
PQQ = - 14+14
= 0
