= (26 + 153) + 26 - 153/676 -675 =52

72. If a, b, c, are three non-zero real numbers such that a + b + c = 0, and b2 ca, then the value of a2 + b2 + c2/ b2 ca is-

a. 3 b. 2 c. 0 d. 1

a+b+c=0 a + c = -b a2 + c2 = b2 -2ac a2 + b2 + c2 = 2b2 2ac a2 + b2 + c2/ b2 ac = 2

73. If a4 + a2 b2 + b4 = 8 and a2 + ab + b2 = 4, then the value of ab is-

a. -1 b. 0 c. 2 d. 1

 a4 + a2 b2 + b4/ a2 + ab + b2 = 8/4 (a2 + b2)2 (ab) 2/ (a2 + b2 + ab) = 2 a2 ab + b2 = 2 and a2 + ab + b2 = 4 2ab = 2 ab = 1 .(1) ..(2)

a. 840 b. 920 c. 960 d. 1040

Ans :

(Picture)

ACB = 400 + 440 = 840 ACO = 900 - 440 = 460 = OAC OCB = ACB - ACO = 840 - 460 = 380 = OBC BOC = 1800 (OCB + OBC) = 1800 (380 + 380) = 1040

a. 13 cm b. 15 cm

c. 26 cm d. 30 cm

Ans :

(Picture)

OA = OM2 + AM2 = 122 + 52 = 13 Diameter of the circle = 2*OA = 2*13 = 26cm
