Question : Two places, P and Q, are 162 km apart. A train leaves P for Q and simultaneously, another train leaves Q for P. They meet at the end of six hours. If the former train travels 8 km/h faster than the other, the speed of the train from Q is:

Option 1: $12\frac{5}{6}$ km/h

Option 2: $10\frac{5}{6}$ km/h

Option 3: $9\frac{1}{2}$ km/h

Option 4: $8\frac{1}{2}$ km/h

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $9\frac{1}{2}$ km/h


Solution : Given: Two places P and Q are 162 km apart. A train leaves P for Q and simultaneously, another train leaves Q for P. They meet at the end of six hours and the former train travels 8 km/h faster than the other.
Let the speed of the train from Q be x km/h.
Then the speed of the train from P is (x + 8) km/h.
Now in 6 hours the train from Q to P travels 6x km and 6(x + 8) km respectively.
Here, 6x + 6(x + 8) = 162
⇒ 12x = 162 – 48
⇒ x = $\frac{114}{12} = 9\frac{1}{2}$
Hence, the correct answer is $9\frac{1}{2}$ km/h.

Question : Direction: In this question, some equations are solved on the basis of a certain system. On the same basis find out the correct alternative for the unsolved equation.

If 5 x 4 x 0 = 405

3 x 2 x 8 = 283

then 1 x 7 x 6 = ?

 

Option 1: 617

Option 2: 716

Option 3: 167

Option 4: 761

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 761


Solution : Here, the given equations follows a pattern in which the first number, the middle number and the last number in LHS becomes the units place digit, the hundreds place digit and the tens place digit in the answer part in RHS respectively.

⇒ 5 x 4 x 0 = 405

⇒ 3 x 2 x 8 = 283

Following the same pattern in the unsolved equation, we get –

⇒ 1 x 7 x 6 = 761

Hence, option fourth is correct.

Question : A boat can cover 120 km upstream and back in a total of 30 hours, and 25 km upstream and 40 km downstream in a total of 7 hours. How much distance will the boat cover in 16 hours in still water?

Option 1: 200 km

Option 2: 180 km

Option 3: 175 km

Option 4: 225 km

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 200 km


Solution : Let the speed of the boat in still water be $x$ km/hr and the speed of the current be $y$ km/hr.
Speed downstream = $x + y$
Speed upstream = $x - y$
Now, $\text{Time} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Speed}}$
$\frac{120}{x + y} + \frac{120}{x - y} = 30$....(1)
and$\frac{40}{x + y} + \frac{25}{x – y} = 7$ ....(2)
Multiplying equation (2) by 3, we get,
$\frac{120}{x + y} + \frac{75}{x – y} = 21$ ......(3)
Subtracting equation (3) from (1), we get,
$\frac{45}{x – y} = 9$
$⇒x - y = 5$.......(4)
Putting the value of $x - y$ in equation (2), we get,
$x + y = 20$ .......(5)
Solving these two equations, we get the values of $x$ and $y$.
$x = 12.5$ and $y = 7.5$
Distance covered by the boat in 16 hours in still water = 16 × 12.5 = 200 km
Hence, the correct answer is 200 km.

The athlete’s________ was badly injured due to a fall on the track.

Option 1: toad

Option 2: toe

Option 3: tow

Option 4: to

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

In the given sentence, the context of an athlete being injured due to a fall on the track suggests a physical injury, and toe refers to a part of the foot, making it the correct choice.

The meanings of other options are as follows:

  • A toad is an amphibian similar to a frog.

  • Tow refers to the act of pulling something, often with a rope or chain.

  • To is a preposition, often indicating direction or action.

Therefore, the complete sentence is: The athlete’s toe was badly injured due to a fall on the track.

Question : Directions: Select the related letter cluster from the given alternatives.
ZXVT : YWUS :: RPNL : ?

Option 1: XVTS

Option 2: TSQP

Option 3: SQPM

Option 4: QOMK

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: QOMK


Solution : Given:
ZXVT : YWUS :: RPNL : ?

Like, ZXVT→Z – 1 = Y; X – 1 = W; V – 1 = U; T – 1 = S
Thus, ZXVT is related to YWUS.
Similarly, follow the same pattern for RPNL –
R – 1 = Q; P – 1 = O; N – 1 = M; L – 1 = K

Thus, RPNL is related to QOMK. Hence, the fourth option is correct.

Question : Direction: In each of the following question, select the missing number from the given responses.

8 12 13
6 5 10
2 8 ?
4 15 18

 

Option 1: 15

Option 2: 5

Option 3: 6

Option 4: 3

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 15


Solution : Given: 

8 12 13
6 5 10
2 8 ?
4 15 18

In the first column, 8 – 6 = 2 → 2 + 2 = 4

In the second column, 12 – 5 = 7 → 7 + 8 = 15

In the third column, 13 – 10 = 3 → 18 – 3 = 15

So, the missing number is 15.

Hence, first option is correct.

Question : In the given figure, PAB is a secant and PT is a tangent to the circle from P. If PT = 8 cm, PA = 6 cm, and AB = $x$ cm, then the value of $x$ is:

Option 1: $\frac{14}{9}$

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

Option 3: $\frac{14}{3}$

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

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\frac{14}{3}$


Solution :
As we know,
PT= PA × PB
⇒ 8= 6($x$ + 6)
⇒ 64 = 6$x$ + 36
⇒ $x$ = $\frac{28}{6} = \frac{14}{3}$
Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{14}{3}$.

Option 2: 30-40

Option 3: Advantage in

Option 4: 40-30

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Advantage out


Solution : The correct option is Advantage Out.

When the score is tied, the next point won by a player is referred to as an "advantage." If the receiver wins the next point after a deuce, the score becomes "advantage [receiver's name]". If the receiver wins the next point, they win the game.
