Question : If $x$ and $y$ are positive numbers such that $x - y = 5$ and $xy = 150$, the value of $(x + y)$ is:

Option 1: 45

Option 2: 25

Option 3: 35

Option 4: 15

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 25


Solution : Given: $x - y = 5$ and $xy = 150$
Squaring both sides of the given equation $x - y = 5$, we get,
$(x - y)^2 = 5^2$
⇒ $x^2 + y^2 - 2xy = 25$
⇒ $x^2 + y^2 - 2 × 150

Question : $\cos \left(30^{\circ}+\theta\right)-\sin \left(60^{\circ}-\theta\right)=$ _____________.

Option 1: $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$

Option 2: $0$

Option 3: $\frac{1}{2}$

Option 4: $\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $0$


Solution : $\cos (30^{\circ}+\theta)-\sin (60^{\circ}-\theta)$
= $\cos (30^{\circ}+\theta)-\cos(90^{\circ}-(60^{\circ}-\theta))$
= $\cos (30^{\circ}+\theta)-\cos(90^{\circ}-60^{\circ}+\theta)$
= $\cos (30^{\circ}+\theta)- \cos (30^{\circ}+\theta)$
= $0$
Hence, the correct answer is $0$.

Question : A piece of wire, when bent to form a circle, will have a radius of 84 cm. If the wire is bent to form a square, the length of one side of the square is:

Option 1: 152 cm

Option 2: 132 cm

Option 3: 168 cm

Option 4: 225 cm

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 132 cm


Solution : Given: A piece of wire, when bent to form a circle, will have a radius of 84 cm.
Length of the wire = circumference of the circle = $2\pi r$
⇒ $2×\frac{22}{7}×84=528$
So, the perimeter of the square = 528 cm
⇒ One side

Question : If $\tan(5x-10^{\circ})=\cot(5y+20^{\circ})$, the value of $(x+y)$ is:

Option 1: $15^{\circ}$

Option 2: $16^{\circ}$

Option 3: $24^{\circ}$

Option 4: $20^{\circ}$

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $16^{\circ}$


Solution : Given: $\tan(5x-10^{\circ})=\cot(5y+20^{\circ})$
⇒ $\tan(5x-10^{\circ})=\tan(90^{\circ}-(5y+20^{\circ}))$
⇒ $5x-10^{\circ}=90^{\circ}-5y-20^{\circ}$
⇒ $5x+5y=80^{\circ}$
⇒ $x+y=16^{\circ}$
Hence, the correct answer is $16^{\circ}$.

Question : Due to inclement weather, an aeroplane reduced its speed by 300 km/h and reached its destination of 1200 km late by 2 hours. Then, the scheduled duration of the flight was:

Option 1: 1 hour

Option 2: 1.5 hours

Option 3: 2 hours

Option 4: 2.5 hours

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 2 hours


Solution : Let the original speed of the aeroplane be $x$ km/h.
According to the question,
$\frac{1200}{x–300} – \frac{1200}{x} = 2$
⇒ $\frac{1200}{x–300} – \frac{1200}{x} = 2$
⇒ $1200(\frac{x–x+300}{x(x–300)}) = 2$
⇒ $1200(\frac{300}{x(x–300)}) = 2$
⇒ $x(x–300) = 600(300)$
⇒ $x(x–300) = 600(600–300)$
⇒ $x =
