square and cube


(v2 + a2)3 = (V3+a3)2 , and v and a are non zero, then the value of
  v/a + a/v is

a. 1/2
b. 2
c. 2/3
d. 3/2

ans

(v2 + a2)3 = (V3+a3)2 , and v and a are non zero, then the value of  v/a + a/v is

a. 1/2
b. 2
c. 2/3
d. 3/2

here is the solution

(v^6+a^6+3v^4a^2+3V^2a^4)=v^6+2v^3a^3+a^6

so 3v^2-2v^3a^3+3v^2a^4=0

 

so V^2-(2/3)va+a^2=0

(v^2/a^2)-(2/3)(v/a)=-1

so (v/a){(v/a)-(2/3)}=-1

so (v/a)+(a/v)=2/3
