Question : Directions: In a certain code language, CYTOSKELETON is written as TYCKSOELENOT, and MALNUTRITION is written as LAMTUNTIRNOI. How will ALLITERATION be written in that language?

Option 1: LLAETITARNOI

Option 2: LLAETIATRNOI

Option 3: LLEATITARNOI

Option 4: LLAETITRANOI

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: LLAETITARNOI


Solution : Given: 
CYTOSKELETON is written as TYCKSOELENOT and MALNUTRITION is written as LAMTUNTIRNOI.

Divide the word into a set of three letters,
CYTOSKELETON→CYT/OSK/ELE/TON
MALNUTRITION→MAL/NUT/RIT/ION
Altering the first and third letter in the subset, 
CYTOSKELETON→CYT/OSK/ELE/TON→TYC/KSO/ELE/NOT
MALNUTRITION→MAL/NUT/RIT/ION→LAM/TUN/TIR/NOI
Similarly, ALLITERATION→ALL/ITE/RAT/ION→LLA/ETI/TAR/NOI→LLAETITARNOI

Hence, the first option is correct.

Question : If $x=a(\sin\theta+\cos\theta), y=b(\sin\theta-\cos\theta)$, then the value of $\frac{x^2}{a^2}+\frac{y^2}{b^2}$ is:

Option 1: 0

Option 2: 1

Option 3: 2

Option 4: –2

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 2


Solution : Given:
$x=a(\sin\theta+\cos\theta), y=b(\sin\theta-\cos\theta)$
So, $\frac{x}{a}=(\sin\theta+\cos\theta), \frac{y}{a}=(\sin\theta-\cos\theta)$
Now, $\frac{x^2}{a^2}+\frac{y^2}{b^2}$
= $(\sin\theta+\cos\theta)^2+(\sin\theta-\cos\theta)^2$
= $\sin^2\theta+2×\sin\theta×\cos\theta+\cos^2\theta+\sin^2\theta-2×\sin\theta×\cos\theta+\cos^2\theta$
= $\sin^2\theta+\cos^2\theta+\sin^2\theta+\cos^2\theta$
= $1+1$
= $2$
Hence, the correct answer is $2$.
