Mathematics

  1. If x + 1/x = 5, then x² + 1/x² is:

    • A. 23
    • B. 25
    • C. 27
    • D. 29
    AnswerCorrect: Option A. Explanation: Square both sides: (x + 1/x)² = 25 → x² + 2 + 1/x² = 25 → x² + 1/x² = 23.
  2. A train 180 m long crosses a platform in 18 s at 72 km/h. The platform length is:
