Question 431. The cube root of .000216 is:
  1.    .6
  2.    .06
  3.    77
  4.    87
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> .06
$$\eqalign{
& {\left( {.000216} \right)^{\frac{1}{3}}} = {\left( {\frac{{216}}{{{{10}^6}}}} \right)^{\frac{1}{3}}} \cr
& = {\left( {\frac{{6 \times 6 \times 6}}{{{{10}^2} \times {{10}^2} \times {{10}^2}}}} \right)^{\frac{1}{3}}} \cr
& = \frac{6}{{{{10}^2}}} \cr
& = \frac{6}{{100}} \cr
& = 0.06 \cr} $$
Question 432. What should come in place of both x in the equation $$\frac{x}{{\sqrt {128} }} = \frac{{\sqrt {162} }}{x}$$
  1.    12
  2.    14
  3.    144
  4.    196
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 12
$$\eqalign{
& {\text{Let}}\,\frac{x}{{\sqrt {128} }} = \frac{{\sqrt {162} }}{x} \cr
& {\text{Then}}\,{x^2} = \sqrt {128 \times 162} \cr
& = \sqrt {64 \times 2 \times 18 \times 9} \cr
& = \sqrt {{8^2} \times {6^2} \times {3^2}} \cr
& = 8 \times 6 \times 3 \cr
& = 144 \cr
& \therefore x = \sqrt {144} = 12 \cr} $$

Question 434. If $$3\sqrt 5 + \sqrt {125} $$   = 17.88, then what will be the value of $$\sqrt {80} + 6\sqrt 5 \,\,?$$
  1.    13.41
  2.    20.46
  3.    21.66
  4.    22.35
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> 22.35
$$\eqalign{
& 3\sqrt 5 + \sqrt {125} = 17.88 \cr
& \Rightarrow 3\sqrt 5 + \sqrt {25 \times 5} = 17.88 \cr
& \Rightarrow 3\sqrt 5 + 5\sqrt 5 = 17.88 \cr
& \Rightarrow 8\sqrt 5 = 17.88 \cr
& \Rightarrow \sqrt 5 = 2.235 \cr
& \therefore \sqrt {80} + 6\sqrt 5 = \sqrt {16 \times 5} + 6\sqrt 5 \cr
& = 4\sqrt 5 + 6\sqrt 5 \cr
& = 10\sqrt 5 = \left( {10 \times 2.235} \right) = 22.35 \cr} $$
Question 435. If $$3a = 4b = 6c$$   and $$a + b + c = 27\sqrt {29} {\text{,}}$$    then $$\sqrt {{a^2} + {b^2} + {c^2}} $$    is ?
  1.    $$3\sqrt {29} $$
  2.    81
  3.    87
  4.    None of these
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 87
$$\eqalign{
& a + b + c = 27\sqrt {29} \cr
& \Rightarrow 2c + \frac{3}{2}c + c = 27\sqrt {29} \cr
& \Rightarrow \frac{9}{2}c = 27\sqrt {29} \cr
& \Rightarrow c = 6\sqrt {29} \cr
& \therefore \sqrt {{a^2} + {b^2} + {c^2}} \cr
& = \sqrt {{{\left( {a + b + c} \right)}^2} - 2\left( {ab + bc + ca} \right)} \cr
& = \sqrt {{{\left( {27\sqrt {29} } \right)}^2} - 2\left( {2c \times \frac{3}{2}c + \frac{3}{2}c \times c + c \times 2c} \right)} \cr
& = \sqrt {\left( {729 \times 29} \right) - 2\left( {3{c^2} + \frac{3}{2}{c^2} + 2{c^2}} \right)} \cr
& = \sqrt {\left( {729 \times 29} \right) - 2 \times \frac{{13}}{2}{c^2}} \cr
& = \sqrt {\left( {729 \times 29} \right) - 13{{\left( {6\sqrt {29} } \right)}^2}} \cr
& = \sqrt {29\left( {729 - 468} \right)} \cr
& = \sqrt {29 \times 261} \cr
& = \sqrt {29 \times 29 \times 9} \cr
& = 29 \times 3 \cr
& = 87 \cr} $$
