Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: A decree had already been passed by the ruler of the community against that decision.


Solution : The fourth option is the correct choice.

Passive voice is the voice in which the object experiences an action rather than the person who performs the action. Hence, the object in the active sentence becomes the subject in the passive voice.

The structure of the passive voice in the case of the past perfect tense is: "Singular object + had + been + past participle form of the verb + 'by' followed by the agent of the action."

Therefore, the correct sentence is: "A decree had already been passed by the ruler of the community against that decision."

Question : Directions: In the following question, select the missing number from the given series.
123, 125, 127, ?, 131, 133

Option 1: 128

Option 2: 129

Option 3: 130

Option 4: 145

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 129


Solution : Given:
123, 125, 127, ?, 131, 133

Add 2 to the previous term to get the next term.
123 + 2 = 125; 125 + 2 = 127; 127 + 2 = 129; 129 + 2 = 131; 131 + 2 = 133

So, 129 is the missing term in the series. Hence, the second option is correct.

Question : Salaries of B, C, D, and E are in the ratio of 2 : 3 : 4 : 5 respectively. Their salaries are increased by 20%, 30%, 40% and 50% respectively. If the increased salary of D is INR 560, then what is the sum of the original salaries of B, C, D, and E?

Option 1: INR 1,400

Option 2: INR 1,560

Option 3: INR 1,820

Option 4: INR 1,260

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: INR 1,400


Solution : Given: Salaries of B, C, D, and E are in the ratio of 2 : 3 : 4 : 5 respectively.
Percentage increase = 20%, 30%, 40%, and 50%.
Let the salary of B, C, D, and E be $2x, 3x, 4x,$ and $5x$, respectively.
According to the question,
$4x+0.4(4x)=560$
⇒ $4x+1.6x=560$
⇒ $5.6x=560$
⇒ $x=100$
The sum of the original salaries of B, C, D, and E
$=2x+3x+4x+5x=14x=14\times100=$ INR 1,400
Hence, the correct answer is INR 1,400.
