Q1884.Which value of x will make the equation true: 3^x = 243?

Medium
A 3
B 5
C 8
D 9
Basic Arithmetic PPSC

Correct Answer: B

Since 243 can be factored as 3 × 3 × 3 × 3 × 3 = 3⁵, equating the powers of 3^x = 3⁵ gives x = 5.

Q1885.The volume of a rectangular solid is 1,440 cubic inches. If the height is 3 inches, what could be its length and width?

Medium
A 4 inches by 10 inches
B 8 inches by 20 inches
C 10 inches by 48 inches
D 30 inches by 40 inches
Geometry & Mensuration PPSC

Correct Answer: C

Volume = length × width × height. Since height is 3: Volume = length × width × 3 = 1440. Thus, length × width = 480. Among the options, 10 inches by 48 inches gives 10 × 48 = 480.
