Option 3: $\frac{10}{39}$

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

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

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


Solution :

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

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%.

Question : A shop provides a flat 50% discount on one shirt, while another provides two successive discounts of 30% and 30%. If the difference in the bill is Rs. 43, find the price of the shirt.

Option 1: Rs. 3,580

Option 2: Rs. 3,850

Option 3: Rs. 3,260

Option 4: Rs. 4,300

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Rs. 4,300


Solution : Assume the price is Rs. 100.
After a flat 50% discount, the selling price is (100 – 50) = Rs. 50
After two successive discounts of 30% and 30%, the selling price $=\frac{100 × 70 × 70}{100 × 100} = 49$
So, the difference is Re. 1 when the price is Rs. 100.
Here, the given difference is Rs. 43.
So, the price of the shirt is (43 × 100) = Rs. 4,300
Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 4,300.

Question : Directions: In the following question, select the related number from the given alternatives.
13 : 20 :: 17 : ?

Option 1: 25

Option 2: 26

Option 3: 27

Option 4: 28

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 28


Solution : Given:
13 : 20 :: 17 : ?

Subtract 6 from twice the first number to obtain the second number in each pair.
Like, 13 : 20→(13 × 2) – 6 = 26 – 6 = 20
Similarly, follow the same pattern for 17 : ?→(17 × 2) – 6 = 34 – 6 = 28

So, 17 is related to 28. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
