10 Surds and Fraction Questions for SSC CGL Set 70 - time to solve 15 mins

Problem 1.

The product of two fractions is $\displaystyle\frac{14}{15}$ and their quotient is, $\displaystyle\frac{35}{24}$. The larger of the two fractions is,

  1. $\displaystyle\frac{7}{4}$
  2. $\displaystyle\frac{7}{6}$
  3. $\displaystyle\frac{7}{3}$
  4. $\displaystyle\frac{4}{5}$

Problem 2.

$\displaystyle\frac{4}{5}$, $\displaystyle\frac{7}{8}$, $\displaystyle\frac{6}{7}$, $\displaystyle\frac{5}{6}$ in ascending order is,

  1. $\displaystyle\frac{4}{5}$, $\displaystyle\frac{7}{8}$, $\displaystyle\frac{6}{7}$, $\displaystyle\frac{5}{6}$
  2. $\displaystyle\frac{7}{8}$, $\displaystyle\frac{6}{7}$, $\displaystyle\frac{5}{6}$, $\displaystyle\frac{4}{5}$
  3. $\displaystyle\frac{4}{5}$, $\displaystyle\frac{5}{6}$, $\displaystyle\frac{6}{7}$, $\displaystyle\frac{7}{8}$
  4. $\displaystyle\frac{5}{6}$, $\displaystyle\frac{6}{7}$, $\displaystyle\frac{7}{8}$, $\displaystyle\frac{4}{5}$

Problem 3.

A fraction having denominator 30 and lying between $\displaystyle\frac{5}{8}$ and $\displaystyle\frac{7}{11}$ is,

  1. $\displaystyle\frac{21}{30}$
  2. $\displaystyle\frac{18}{30}$
  3. $\displaystyle\frac{19}{30}$
  4. $\displaystyle\frac{20}{30}$

Problem 4.

If the difference between the reciprocal of a positive proper fraction and the fraction itself be $\displaystyle\frac{9}{20}$, then the fraction is,

  1. $\displaystyle\frac{5}{4}$
  2. $\displaystyle\frac{4}{5}$
  3. $\displaystyle\frac{3}{5}$
  4. $\displaystyle\frac{3}{10}$

Problem 5.

The sum of three fractions is, $2\displaystyle\frac{11}{24}$. On dividing the largest fraction by the smallest result obtained is $\displaystyle\frac{7}{6}$ which is greater than the middle fraction by $\displaystyle\frac{1}{3}$. The smallest fraction then is,

  1. $\displaystyle\frac{5}{8}$
  2. $\displaystyle\frac{3}{7}$
  3. $\displaystyle\frac{3}{4}$
  4. $\displaystyle\frac{5}{6}$

Problem 6.

The value of $\left[\displaystyle\frac{\sqrt{3}+1}{\sqrt{3}-1}+\displaystyle\frac{\sqrt{2}+1}{\sqrt{2}-1}+\displaystyle\frac{\sqrt{3}-1}{\sqrt{3}+1}+\displaystyle\frac{\sqrt{2}-1}{\sqrt{2}+1}\right]$ is,

  1. $10$
  2. $12$
  3. $18$
  4. $14$

Problem 7.

The value of $\displaystyle\frac{1}{\sqrt{12-\sqrt{140}}}-\displaystyle\frac{1}{\sqrt{8-\sqrt{60}}}-\displaystyle\frac{2}{\sqrt{10+\sqrt{84}}}$ is

  1. 3
  2. 0
  3. 1
  4. 2

Problem 8.

If $\displaystyle\frac{4+3\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{7+4\sqrt{3}}}=A + \sqrt{B}$ then $B-A$ is,

  1. $-13$
  2. $3\sqrt{3}-7$
  3. $13$
  4. $\sqrt{13}$

Problem 9.

The value of $\left(3+\displaystyle\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}+\displaystyle\frac{1}{3+\sqrt{3}}+\displaystyle\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}-3}\right)$ is,

  1. $1$
  2. $3$
  3. $3-\sqrt{3}$
  4. $3+\sqrt{3}$

Problem 10.

If $\displaystyle\frac{\sqrt{a+2b}+\sqrt{a-2b}}{\sqrt{a+2b}-\sqrt{a-2b}}=\sqrt{3}$ then $a:b$ is,

  1. $4:\sqrt{3}$
  2. $\sqrt{3}:2$
  3. $\sqrt{3}:4$
  4. $2:\sqrt{3}$
