      If 'x' is a positive integer such that x + 1/x = 2,

      then find the value of  (x3 + x2 − 2x – 6)/(4x4 + 2x2).
      A -3 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 2 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 1 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D -1 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      x + 1/x  = 2 Or, x2 + 1 = 2x Or, x2 - 2x + 1 = 0 Or, (x - 1)2 = 0 So, 'x' = 1 (x3 + x2 − 2x – 6)/(4x4 + 2x2) = (13 + 12 – 2 X 1 – 6)/(4 X 14 + 2 x 12) = - 6/6 = - 1
