Question : $\triangle \mathrm{ABC} \sim \triangle \mathrm{DEF}$ and the perimeters of these triangles are 32 cm and 12 cm, respectively. If $\mathrm{DE}=6 \mathrm{~cm}$, then what will be the length of AB?

Option 1: 16 cm

Option 2: 14 cm

Option 3: 12 cm

Option 4: 18 cm

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 16 cm


Solution : If two triangles are similar, then their perimeters are directly proportional to the length of their corresponding sides.
So, $\frac{\text{Perimeter of $\triangle$ABC}}{\text{Perimeter of $\triangle$ABC}}= \frac{AB}{DE} = \frac{32}{12}$
⇒ $AB = \frac{32}{12}\times 6$
⇒ $AB = 16\ \mathrm{cm}$
Hence, the correct answer is 16 cm.

Question : If $a+\frac{1}{a-2}=4$, then the value of $(a-2)^{2}+(\frac{1}{a-2})^{2}$ is:

Option 1: 0

Option 2: 2

Option 3: –2

Option 4: 4

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 2


Solution : Given: $a+\frac{1}{a-2}=4$
Subtracting 2 from both sides,
⇒ $a-2+\frac{1}{a-2}=2$
Squaring both sides,
⇒ $( a-2)^2+\frac{1}{( a-2)^2} + 2=2^2$
⇒ $( a-2)^2+\frac{1}{( a-2)^2}=2^2-2$
⇒ $( a-2)^2+\frac{1}{( a-2)^2}=2$
Hence, the correct answer is 2.

Question : In a 1500 m race, Anil beats Bakul by 150 m, and in the same race, Bakul beats Charles by 75 m. By what distance does Anil beat Charles?

Option 1: 217.50 m

Option 2: 200.15 m

Option 3: 293.50 m

Option 4: 313.75 m

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 217.50 m


Solution : In 1500 m race, Anil beats Bakul by 150 m.
When Anil completes the race, Bakul covers 1500 – 150 = 1350 m
Bakul beats Charles by 75 m in 1500 m race.
So in a 1350 m race, Bakul is ahead of Charles by $\frac{75}{1500}\times 1350=67.50$ m
So, Anil beats Charles by (150 + 67.5) = 217.50 m
Hence, the correct answer is 217.50 m.

Question : Select the correct passive form of the given sentence.

May you achieve success in all your endeavours.

Option 1: May success will be achieved by you in all your endeavours.

Option 2: Success might be achieved by you in all your endeavours.

Option 3: May success be achieved by you in all your endeavours.

Option 4: Success has been achieved by you in all your endeavours.

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: May success be achieved by you in all your endeavours.


Solution : The correct choice is the third option.

Explanation:
In a passive voice construction, the subject of the sentence receives the action, and the focus is on the action rather than the doer.
The verb "achieve" becomes "be achieved" (to be + past participle).
The subject "you" becomes the agent in the passive voice construction and is placed at the end of the sentence with "by you."
The passive construction shifts the focus from the doer (you) to the action (success being achieved).

Therefore, the passive voice would be: May success be achieved by you in all your endeavours.

Question : If $4x^2-12x+k$ is a perfect square, then the value of $k$ is:

Option 1: 2

Option 2: 9

Option 3: 12

Option 4: 10

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 9


Solution : Given: $4x^2-12x+k$ is a perfect square.
$4x^2-12x+k=(2x)^2-2×2x×3+k$
Since this a perfect,
So, $(2x)^2-2×2x×3+k=(2x)^2-2×2x×3+3^2=(2x–3)^2$
Value of $k$ is 3= 9
Hence, the correct answer is 9.

Question : Which among the following rocks may contain fossils of plants, animals and other microorganisms that once lived on them?

Option 1: Metamorphic rocks

Option 2: Intrusive igneous rocks

Option 3: Sedimentary rocks

Option 4: Extrusive igneous rocks

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Sedimentary rocks


Solution : The correct option is Sedimentary rocks.

Question : The following sentence has been split into four segments. Identify the segment that contains a grammatical error.

When the train pulled in / at the station, it take / Joseph some time / to get off.

Option 1: When the train pulled in

Option 2: at the station, it take

Option 3: Joseph some time

Option 4: to get off.

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: at the station, it take


Solution : The segment that contains a grammatical error is the second option.

Explanation: The error lies in the tense consistency as per zero conditional. The correct form should be "it took" instead of "it take". In this context, took is the correct verb form to indicate that the action took place in the past as the subordinate clause is also in the past tense to maintain tense consistency.

So, the correct sentence would be: "When the train pulled in at the station, it takes Joseph some time to get off."

Question : The side of an equilateral triangle is 12 cm. What is the radius of the circle circumscribing this equilateral triangle?

Option 1: $6 \sqrt{3}\ \text{cm}$

Option 2: $4\sqrt{3}\ \text{cm}$

Option 3: $9 \sqrt{3}\ \text{cm}$

Option 4: $5\sqrt{3}\ \text{cm}$

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $4\sqrt{3}\ \text{cm}$


Solution : Given: Side of the equilateral triangle = 12 cm
We know that,
The radius of a circle circumscribing in an equilateral triangle
= $\frac{\text{side}}{\sqrt3}$
= $\frac{12}{\sqrt3}$
= $4\sqrt3\ \text{cm}$
Hence, the correct answer is $4\sqrt3\ \text{cm}$.
