Question : Washing of peeled vegetables removes the vitamin

Option 1: A

Option 2: C

Option 3: D

Option 4: E

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: C


Solution : The correct option is Vitamin C.

Some vitamin C is lost when vegetables are washed. Because vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin, it dissolves in water. When you wash vegetables, part of the vitamin C is washed away. The quantity of vitamin C lost during washing is determined by several factors, including the kind of vegetable, the length of time it is washed, and the temperature of the water. Leafy vegetables, such as spinach and kale, lose more vitamin C than root vegetables, such as carrots and potatoes.

Question : The length, breadth, and height of a wooden box with a lid are 10 cm, 9 cm, and 7 cm, respectively. The total inner surface of the closed box is 262 cm2. The thickness of the wood (in cm) is:

Option 1: $2$

Option 2: $3$

Option 3: $\frac{23}{3}$

Option 4: $1$

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $1$


Solution : Given: Inner surface area = 262 cm2
The length, breadth, and height are 10 cm, 9 cm, and 7 cm, respectively.
Let the thickness of the wood be $x$ cm.
Surface area of the cuboid = 2(length × breadth + length × height + breadth × height)
Area of inner surface $= 2(9 - 2x)(10 - 2x) + 2(9 -2x)(7 - 2x) + 2(10- 2x)(7 - 2x)$
$⇒ 262 = 2(9 - 2x)(10 - 2x) + 2(9 -2x)(7 - 2x) + 2(10 - 2x)(7- 2x)$
Putting the value of $x = 1,$ the above equation is satisfied.
Hence, the correct answer is $1$.

Question : Directions: If 4 × 9 × 3 = 4 and 5 × 3 × 1 = 3, then 9 × 9 × 7 = ? 

Option 1: 5

Option 2: 6

Option 3: 7

Option 4: 9

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 5


Solution : Given:
4 × 9 × 3 = 4, 5 × 3 × 1 = 3

The pattern in the equation4 × 9 × 3 = 4 is 4 + 9 + 3 = 16 = 42
The pattern in the equation5 × 3 × 1 = 3 is 5 + 3 + 1 = 9 = 32

Here, the sign × means +.
Using the same pattern in equation 9 × 9 × 7
The equation becomes
9 + 9 + 7 = 25 = 5 
Therefore, the square root of 25 is equal to 5.

Hence, the first option is correct.

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

He was unable / to help me because / he had been failed / to arrange the money.

Option 1: to help me because

Option 2: to arrange the money

Option 3: he had been failed

Option 4: he was unable

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: he had been failed


Solution : The error lies in the third option.

The error is in the phrase he had been failed. The verb failed in this context should be used in its active form, not in the passive form with been. The correct form should be he had failed, which means he did not succeed in arranging the money.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: "He was unable to help me because he had failed to arrange the money."

Question : Directions: In the question, a part of the sentence is in bold. Below are given alternatives to the bold part at (1), (2), and (3) that may improve the sentence. Choose the correct alternative. In case no improvement is needed, your answer is (4).

In case of a natural calamity, the shortage of essential things must be overcome in a short time.

(1) commodities

(2) consignments

(3) material

(4) No Improvement

Option 1: (1)

Option 2: (2)

Option 3: (3)

Option 4: (4)

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: (1)


Solution : The sentence can be improved using the first option.

This option is the correct choice because "commodities" is a more precise and appropriate term for essential items or goods, especially when discussing overcoming shortages during a natural calamity. It is a suitable replacement that enhances clarity and specificity.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • Consignments refer to shipments or deliveries of goods.
  • Material is a broad term that may not sufficiently convey the idea of essential items or goods.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: In case of a natural calamity, the shortage of essential commodities must be overcome in a short time.
