Question : If the ratio of two numbers is 1 : 5 and their product is 320, the difference between the squares of these two numbers is:

Option 1: 1024

Option 2: 1256

Option 3: 1536

Option 4: 1435

Team Careers360 21st Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 1536


Solution : Let the numbers be $x$ and $5x$.
According to the question,
$x × 5x= 320$
$\Rightarrow 5x^2 = 320$
$\Rightarrow x^2 = 64$
$\Rightarrow x = 8$
So, the numbers are $8$ and $(8×5)=40$.
Now, the difference between the squares of $8$ and $40$
$=

Question : The income of A is 80% of B's income and the expenditure of A is 60% of B's expenditure. If the income of A is equal to 90% of B's expenditure, then by what percentage are the savings of A more than B's savings?

Option 1: 125%

Option 2: 140%

Option 3: 100%

Option 4: 150%

Team Careers360 12th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 140%


Solution : The income of A is 80% of B's income.
The expenditure of A is 60% of B's expenditure.
The income of A is equal to 90% of B's expenditure.
Let the income of B be $100\text{x}$.
So,
Income of A $= (100\text{x} × \frac{80}{100})= 80\text{x}$

Question : The value of $5–\frac{8+2\sqrt{15}}{4}–\frac{1}{8+2\sqrt{15}}$ is equal to:

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

Option 2: $1$

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

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

Team Careers360 7th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $1$


Solution : Given: The expression is $5–\frac{8+2\sqrt{15}}{4}–\frac{1}{8+2\sqrt{15}}$.
Rationalize the fraction,
$\frac{1}{8+2\sqrt{15}}=\frac{1\times (8–2\sqrt{15})}{(8+2\sqrt{15})\times (8–2\sqrt{15})}$
= $\frac{8–2\sqrt{15}}{64–60}$
= $\frac{8–2\sqrt{15}}{4}$
The expression is $5–\frac{8+2\sqrt{15}}{4}–\frac{8–2\sqrt{15}}{4}$.
= $\frac{20–8–2\sqrt{15}–8+2\sqrt{15}}{4}$
= $\frac{20–16}{4}$
= $\frac{20–16}{4}$
= $\frac{4}{4}$
= 1
Hence, the correct answer is $1$.

Question : In $\triangle {ABC} $, AB = 48 cm, BC = 55 cm and AC = 73 cm. If O is the centroid of the triangle, then the length (in cm) of BO (correct to one decimal place) is:

Option 1: 25.6

Option 2: 24.3

Option 3: 20.4

Option 4: 18.3

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 24.3


Solution :
Since 48, 55, and 73 are triplets
$\triangle ABC$ is a right-angled triangle and $\angle B = 90^\circ$
We know that in a right-angled triangle,
Length of the median from the right-angled vertex = $\frac{\text{Length of hypotenuse}}{2}$
⇒ $BM = \frac{AC}{2} = \frac{73}{2}$
And we
