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).

He is wanting in a little common sense.

(1) No Improvement 

(2) lacks

(3) is lacking in 

(4) needs some 

 

Option 1: 1

Option 2: 2

Option 3: 3

Option 4: 4

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 2


Solution : The correct improvement for the sentence is: lacks

Explanation: This option suggests replacing "is wanting in" with "lacks." "He lacks a little common sense" is a more straightforward and commonly used expression. It means that the person does not possess some common sense, making it a suitable improvement for clarity and simplicity.

is lacking in 

  • This option suggests replacing "is wanting in" with "is lacking in." "He is lacking in a little common sense" is also correct and conveys a similar meaning to the second option. However, it adds a bit more complexity to the sentence compared to the second option, without significantly improving clarity.

needs some

  • This option suggests replacing "is wanting in" with "needs some." "He needs some a little common sense" is not a grammatically correct phrasing. The use of "needs some" in this context is redundant and does not improve the sentence.

Option 2: $\frac{5}{39}$

Option 4: $\frac{7}{39}$

Correct Answer: $\frac{5}{39}$


Solution :

$\frac{1}{15}+\frac{1}{35}+\frac{1}{63}+\frac{1}{99}+\frac{1}{143}$
$=\frac{1}{(3×5)}+\frac{1}{(5×7)}+\frac{1}{(7×9)}+\frac{1}{(9×11)}+\frac{1}{(11×13)}$
$= \frac{1}{2}×[( \frac{1}{3}− \frac{1}{5})+( \frac{1}{5}− \frac{1}{7})+( \frac{1}{7}− \frac{1}{9})+( \frac{1}{9}− \frac{1}{11})+( \frac{1}{11}− \frac{1}{13})]$
$= \frac{1}{2}×( \frac{1}{3}− \frac{1}{13})$
$= \frac{1}{2}×( \frac{13-3}{39})$
$= \frac{5}{39}$
Hence, the correct answer is $ \frac{5}{39}$.

Question : The average salary of male employees in a firm was Rs. 5200 and that of females was Rs. 4200. The mean salary of all the employees was Rs. 5000. What is the percentage of female employees?

Option 1: 80%

Option 2: 20%

Option 3: 40%

Option 4: 30%

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 20%


Solution :
Given: The average salary of male employees in a firm = Rs. 5200
The average salary of female employees in a firm = Rs. 4200
The average salary of all employees in a firm = Rs. 5000
By using the rule of alligation,
The ratio of the male employees to the female employees = (Higher value – Mean value) : (Mean value – Lower value)
= 800 : 200 = 4 : 1
So, the required percentage of female employees $=\frac{1}{(1+4)} × 100 = 20$%
Hence, the correct answer is 20%.
