What is the name of the treatise written by Bhaskara I that deals with algebra?

  1. Lilavati

  2. Bijaganita

  3. Siddhanta Shiromani

  4. Surya Siddhanta

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Bhaskara I's treatise on algebra is called Bijaganita, which means 'seed of algebra'.

What is the main topic covered in the Bijaganita?

  1. Arithmetic

  2. Geometry

  3. Trigonometry

  4. Algebra

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The Bijaganita primarily focuses on algebra, including topics such as solving linear and quadratic equations, indeterminate equations, and progressions.

Which of the following is an example of an indeterminate equation?

  1. $x + y = 5$

  2. $x^2 + y^2 = 1$

  3. $x^3 + y^3 = z^3$

  4. $x^2 - y^2 = 1$

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

An indeterminate equation is one that has infinitely many solutions. $x^2 - y^2 = 1$ is an example of an indeterminate equation, as it has infinitely many integer solutions for $x$ and $y$.

What is the name of the method developed by Bhaskara I for solving indeterminate equations?

  1. Chakravala method

  2. Kuttaka method

  3. Bhaskara's method

  4. Varahamihira's method

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Bhaskara I developed the Chakravala method for solving indeterminate equations. This method involves a series of transformations and substitutions to find integer solutions to the equation.

What is the formula for solving a quadratic equation $ax^2 + bx + c = 0$ according to Bhaskara I?

  1. $x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}$

  2. $x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 + 4ac}}{2a}$

  3. $x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 2ac}}{2a}$

  4. $x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 + 2ac}}{2a}$

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Bhaskara I's formula for solving a quadratic equation is $x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}$.

What is the name of the theorem that states that the product of two numbers is equal to the product of their means and the difference of their squares?

  1. Brahmagupta's theorem

  2. Bhaskara's theorem

  3. Pythagoras' theorem

  4. Euler's theorem

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Bhaskara's theorem states that $ab = \frac{1}{2}(a + b)^2 - \frac{1}{2}(a - b)^2$.

What is the name of the theorem that states that the sum of the squares of two numbers is equal to twice the product of the numbers and the square of their difference?

  1. Brahmagupta's theorem

  2. Bhaskara's theorem

  3. Pythagoras' theorem

  4. Euler's theorem

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Brahmagupta's theorem states that $(a + b)^2 + (a - b)^2 = 2(a^2 + b^2)$.

What is the name of the theorem that states that the sum of the cubes of two numbers is equal to three times the product of the numbers and the square of their sum?

  1. Brahmagupta's theorem

  2. Bhaskara's theorem

  3. Pythagoras' theorem

  4. Euler's theorem

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Bhaskara's theorem states that $(a + b)^3 = a^3 + b^3 + 3ab(a + b)$.

What is the name of the theorem that states that the difference of the squares of two numbers is equal to the product of their sum and difference?

  1. Brahmagupta's theorem

  2. Bhaskara's theorem

  3. Pythagoras' theorem

  4. Euler's theorem

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Brahmagupta's theorem states that $(a + b)^2 - (a - b)^2 = 4ab$.

What is the name of the theorem that states that the product of the sums of two numbers is equal to the sum of their products?

  1. Brahmagupta's theorem

  2. Bhaskara's theorem

  3. Pythagoras' theorem

  4. Euler's theorem

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Bhaskara's theorem states that $(a + b)(c + d) = ac + ad + bc + bd$.

What is the name of the theorem that states that the product of the differences of two numbers is equal to the difference of their products?

  1. Brahmagupta's theorem

  2. Bhaskara's theorem

  3. Pythagoras' theorem

  4. Euler's theorem

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Bhaskara's theorem states that $(a - b)(c - d) = ac - ad - bc + bd$.

What is the name of the theorem that states that the square of a sum is equal to the sum of the squares plus twice the product of the numbers?

  1. Brahmagupta's theorem

  2. Bhaskara's theorem

  3. Pythagoras' theorem

  4. Euler's theorem

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Brahmagupta's theorem states that $(a + b)^2 = a^2 + b^2 + 2ab$.

What is the name of the theorem that states that the square of a difference is equal to the sum of the squares minus twice the product of the numbers?

  1. Brahmagupta's theorem

  2. Bhaskara's theorem

  3. Pythagoras' theorem

  4. Euler's theorem

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Brahmagupta's theorem states that $(a - b)^2 = a^2 + b^2 - 2ab$.

What is the name of the theorem that states that the product of two sums is equal to the sum of their products and the sum of their squares?

  1. Brahmagupta's theorem

  2. Bhaskara's theorem

  3. Pythagoras' theorem

  4. Euler's theorem

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Bhaskara's theorem states that $(a + b)(c + d) = ac + ad + bc + bd + \frac{1}{2}(a^2 + b^2 + c^2 + d^2)$.
