Question : A starts from a point at a speed of 34 m/s. After 5 seconds, B starts chasing A from the same point at a speed of 44 m/s. What will be the distance travelled by B before A is caught by B?

Option 1: 748 m

Option 2: 862 m

Option 3: 675 m

Option 4: 549 m

Team Careers360 14th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 748 m


Solution : Distance travelled in first 5 seconds = 34 × 5 = 170 m
Relative speed of B = 44 – 34 = 10 m/s
Time taken to catch A = $\frac{170}{10}$ = 17 s
Distance travelled by B in 17s = 44 ×17 =

Question : If 91% of A is 39% of B, and B is x% of A, then the value of x is:

Option 1: $\frac{200}{3}$

Option 2: $\frac{700}{3}$

Option 3: $\frac{400}{3}$

Option 4: $\frac{500}{3}$

Team Careers360 20th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\frac{700}{3}$


Solution : Given:
91% of A is 39% of B
Now,
$\Rightarrow \frac{91}{100}\times A = \frac{39}{100}\times B$
$\Rightarrow \frac{A}{B} = \frac{3}{7}$
According to the question,
$\Rightarrow \frac{Ax}{100} = B$
$\Rightarrow \frac{B}{A}\times 100 = x$
$\Rightarrow x =\frac{7}{3}\times 100$
$\therefore x = \frac{700}{3}$
Hence, the correct answer is

Question : The perimeter of a Rhombus is 60 cm and one of its diagonal is 24 cm. The area of the Rhombus is:

Option 1: 108 sq.cm

Option 2: 216 sq.cm

Option 3: 432 sq.cm

Option 4: 206 sq.cm

Team Careers360 12th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 216 sq.cm


Solution : Given: The perimeter of a Rhombus is 60 cm and one of its diagonals is 24 cm.
Let $a$ cm and $b$ cm be the two diagonals of the Rhombus.
Then, perimeter = $2\sqrt{a^2+b^2}$
⇒ $60 = 2\sqrt{24^2+b^2}$
⇒ $30 = \sqrt{60^2+b^2}$
⇒ $576+b^2=900$

Question : In a certain shop, the profit is 130% of the cost. If the cost increases by 28% and the selling price remains constant, then what is the profit percentage to the nearest whole number?

Option 1: 75%

Option 2: 60%

Option 3: 59%

Option 4: 80%

Team Careers360 18th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 80%


Solution : Let the cost price be $x$.
With 130% profit, selling price $=x + \frac{130}{100}x=2.3 x$
With a 28% increase in cost price, cost price $=x + \frac{28}{100}x=1.28x$
Now, Profit percentage = $\frac{\text{Selling price – Cost price}}{\text{Cost price}}×100$
= $\frac{2.3x - 1.28x}{1.28x}\times 100$
= $79.68\% \approx
