Simplification MCQ quiz for banking exams


Simplification means deriving a solution out of a complex mathematical statement. In simplification, we make use of mathematical equations to derive a solution for a mathematical problem. Below are some of the important equations and formulae that are used in the simplification process:

(a + b)2 = (a2 + b2 + 2ab)
(a - b)2 = (a2 + b2 - 2ab)
(a + b)2 + (a - b)2 = 2(a2 + b2)
(a + b)2 – (a - b)2 = 4ab
(a2 - b2) = (a + b) (a - b)
(a + b)3 = a3 + b3 + 3ab(a + b)
(a - b)3 = a3 - b3 - 3ab(a - b)
(a3 + b3) = (a + b) (a2 - ab + b2)
(a3 - b3) = (a - b) (a2 + ab + b2)

BODMAS rule: It depicts the sequence of operations that must be performed while evaluating a mathematical expression.

B - Bracket
O - of
D - Division
M - Multiplication
A - Addition
S - Subtraction

Brackets must be removed in order (), {}, []

Below are the MCQs on the simplification that is fetched from previous competitive exams like Bank P.O, M.B.A, M.A.T, UPSC, etc.
