If a = 0.1039, then the value of 4a2 – 4a + 1 + 3a is:

A.     0.1039    B.     0.2078
C.     1.1039    D.     2.1039
Answer & Explanation

Answer: Option C

4a2 – 4a + 1 + 3a = (1)2 + (2a)2 – 2 x 1 x 2a + 3a

= (1 – 2a)2 + 3a

= (1 – 2a) + 3a

= (1 + a)

= (1 + 0.1039)

= 1.1039

If x =     3 + 1     and y =     3 – 1     , then the value of (x2 + y2) is:
3 – 1     3 + 1
A.     10    B.     13
C.     14    D.     15
Answer & Explanation

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

x =     (3 + 1)     x     (3 + 1)     =     (3 + 1)2     =     3 + 1 + 23     = 2 + 3.
(3 – 1)     (3 + 1)     (3 – 1)     2

y =     (3 – 1)     x     (3 – 1)     =     (3 – 1)2     =     3 + 1 – 23     = 2 – 3.
(3 + 1)     (3 – 1)     (3 – 1)     2

x2 + y2 = (2 + 3)2 + (2 – 3)2

= 2(4 + 3)

= 14
