1.(NTSE Stage I): x, y and z are three sums of money such that y is the simple interest on x. z is the simple interest on y for the same value of time and same rate of interest. The relation among three sums are:
(a) x 2 = yz
(b) y 2 = xz
(b) z 2 = xz
(d) xyz = 1 2.If α and β are zeroes of x2 – 4 x + 1, then 1/α + 1/β – αβ is
(a) 3 (b) 5 (c) –5 (d) –3 3.If α, β are zeroes of x 2 – 6x+ k, what is the value of k if 3α+2β=20.
(a)–16 (b) 8 (c) 2 (d) –8.
