SSC CGL - 20 April 2022 - Shift 2 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q58

If 66p3\sqrt{6p^3} + 22q3\sqrt{2q^3}=(6p+2q\sqrt{6p}+\sqrt{2q})(Sp2 + Mq2 - Npq), ten the positive value of S2+M2+2N2\sqrt{S^2+M^2+2N^2}is:

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

 The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 8

6(6)½ p3 + 2(2)½q3 = ((6)½p + (2)½q) [(6)½p)2 + ((2)½q)2 - (6)½ × (2)½pq)

So, S = 6

M = 12

N = (12)½

Now, (S2 + M2 + 2N2)½ = 62 + 22 + 2 × [(12)½]2

⇒ [36 + 4 + 2 × 12 ]½ 

⇒ (64)½ = 8.
