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 $\frac{14}{3}$.

Question : In Tennis, what is the score when the receiver wins the next point after deuce?

Option 1: Advantage out

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.

Question : Select the option that expresses the given sentence in passive voice.

The ruler of the community had already passed a decree against that decision.

Option 1: A decree had already passed by the ruler of the community against that decision.

Option 2: A decree was already passed by the ruler of the community against that decision.

Option 3: A decree was already being passed by the ruler of the community against that decision.

Option 4: A decree had already been passed by the ruler of the community against that decision.

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.
