Question : What is the equation of the line whose y-intercept is 4 and is making an angle of 45° with the positive x-axis?

Option 1: $x+y=–4$

Option 2: $x–y=4$

Option 3: $x+y=4$

Option 4: $x–y= – 4$

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $x–y= – 4$


Solution : Given:  The line whose y-intercept is 4 and its making angle of 45° with the positive x-axis.
Slope of the line, $m = \tan 45°=1$
By using the slope and y-intercept of the line,
Slope intercept form, $y=mx+c$
$⇒y=(1)x+4$
$⇒x-y=- 4$
This is

Question : The LCM of $\frac{3}{8}, \frac{5}{16},$ and $\frac{7}{2}$ is:

Option 1: $101 \frac{1}{2}$

Option 2: $52 \frac{1}{2}$

Option 3: $28 \frac{1}{2}$

Option 4: $25 \frac{1}{4}$

Team Careers360 24th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $52 \frac{1}{2}$


Solution : LCM of Fraction = $\frac{\text {LCM of numerator}}{\text{HCF of denominator}}$
LCM of 3, 5, and 7 = 3 × 5 × 7 = 105
HCF of 8, 16, and 2 = 2
So, LCM of $\frac{3}{8}, \frac{5}{16}$ and $\frac{7}{2}=\frac{105}{2}=52 \frac{1}{2}$
Hence, the correct answer

Question : An aeroplane travels five times as fast as a bus. If the bus covers 60 km in 80 minutes, what distance (in km) will the aeroplane cover in 25 minutes?

Option 1: 95.35

Option 2: 93.75

Option 3: 65.35

Option 4: 18.75

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 93.75


Solution : Given: An aeroplane travels five times as fast as a bus.
Distance = Speed × Time
The bus covers 60 km in 80 minutes.
So, the speed of bus is $\frac{60}{80}$ = $\frac{6}{8}$ km per min.
Then, the speed of the aeroplane is 5 ×

Question : Directions: In a certain code language, DICTATOR is written as DROTATCI, and GLIMPSE is written as GESPMIL. How will CONDEMN be written in that language?

Option 1: CNONMED

Option 2: NMEDNOC

Option 3: NCONDEM

Option 4: CNMEDNO

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Question : Suppose $\triangle A B C$ be a right-angled triangle where $\angle A=90^{\circ}$ and $A D \perp B C$. If area $(\triangle A B C)$ $=80 \mathrm{~cm}^2$ and $BC=16$ cm, then the length of $AD$ is:

Option 1: 10 cm

Option 2: 24 cm

Option 3: 18 cm

Option 4: 12 cm

Team Careers360 24th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 10 cm


Solution :
Base, BC = 16 cm
Area $(\triangle A B C)$ $=80 \mathrm{~cm}^2$
$A D \perp B C$
Area of $(\triangle A B C)$ = $\frac{1}{2}\times BC \times AD$
⇒ 80 = $\frac{1}{2}\times 16 \times AD$
⇒ AD = 10 cm
Hence, the correct answer
