Question : In the given figure, if KI = IT and EK = ET, then $\angle$ TEI =________.

Option 1: 75°

Option 2: 125°

Option 3: 105°

Option 4: 150°

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 105°


Solution :
KI = IT and EK = ET
$\angle$ KET = 150°
In $\triangle$ KEI and $\triangle$ TEI,
KI = IT [Given]
EK = ET [Given]
EI = EI [Common]
So, $\triangle$ KEI $\cong$ $\triangle$ TEI,
⇒ $\angle$ KEI = $\angle$ TEI
Now,
$\angle$ KET + $\angle$ KEI + $\angle$ TEI = 360°
⇒ 150° + 2 × $\angle$ TEI = 360°
⇒ 2 $\angle$ TEI = 210°
⇒ $\angle$ TEI = 105°
Hence, the correct answer is 105°.

Question : Select the option that can be used as a one-word substitute for the given group of words.
A shortened version of a larger work

Option 1: Summary

Option 2: Precise

Option 3: Shorts

Option 4: Abridgement

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Abridgement


Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • Summary: It is a brief statement or account that covers the main points of a piece of writing, a speech, a film, etc., but omits the less important details.
  • Precis: It is a concise summary of a text or speech. It focuses on the key points and the structure of the original work.
  • Shorts: In the context of films, it means a shortened version of a story, but this isn't a standard literary term like the others.

Question : The sides of a triangle are in the ratio $\frac{1}{2}:\frac{1}{3}:\frac{1}{4}$ and its perimeter is 104 cm. The length of the longest side (in cm) is:

Option 1: 52

Option 2: 48

Option 3: 32

Option 4: 26

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 48


Solution : Given: The ratio of the triangle's sides
$=\frac{1}{2} : \frac{1}{3} : \frac{1}{4}$.
$=\frac{1}{2} × 12 : \frac{1}{3} × 12 : \frac{1}{4} × 12$
$=6: 4: 3$
The perimeter of the triangle is $104$ cm.
$\therefore$ The longest length of the triangle = $\frac{104}{6+4+3}×6= 48$ cm
Hence, the correct answer is 48.

Option 1: displace

Option 2: transfer

Option 3: exchange

Option 4: return

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: exchange


Solution : The correct choice is the third option.

The word exchange is appropriate in this context as it implies a mutual or reciprocal action of giving and receiving greetings.

People at the marketplace take time from their busy schedules not just to offer greetings but also to receive greetings from friends or neighbours, creating a sense of interaction and connection.

Therefore, the use of exchange in this sentence conveys the idea of a two-way communication of greetings between individuals in the social setting of the marketplace.

Question : If $\sec \theta+\tan \theta=5, (\theta \neq 0)$, then $\sec \theta$ is equal to:

Option 1: $\left(5+\frac{1}{5}\right)$

Option 2: $\frac{1}{2}\left(3+\frac{1}{3}\right)$

Option 3: $\frac{1}{2}\left(5+\frac{1}{5}\right)$

Option 4: $\left(3+\frac{1}{3}\right)$

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\frac{1}{2}\left(5+\frac{1}{5}\right)$


Solution : Given: $\sec \theta+\tan \theta=5$ ..... equation1
$\sec^{2}\theta - \tan^{2}\theta =1$
⇒ $(\sec \theta+\tan \theta)(\sec \theta-\tan \theta)=1$
⇒ $\sec \theta-\tan \theta=\frac{1}{5}$......equation2
Adding equation1 and equation2
$2\sec\theta = 5 + \frac{1}{5}$
⇒ $\sec\theta=\frac{1}{2}\left(5+\frac{1}{5}\right)$
Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{1}{2}\left(5+\frac{1}{5}\right)$.

Question : The following sentence has been split into four segments. Identify the segment that contains a grammatical error.
I am sure that / the postman would be / coming shortly / to deliver the letter.

Option 1: I am sure that

Option 2: coming shortly

Option 3: to deliver the letter

Option 4: the postman would be

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: the postman would be


Solution : The fourth option contains the error.

Would is used to express a past event and is the past tense of will, which is used to predict a future event. Since we are talking about a future event, we should use will instead of would.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: "I am sure that the postman will be coming shortly to deliver the letter."

Question : Ankita sold her watch at a 5% loss. If she had sold it for Rs. 300 more, she would have gained 5%. Find the selling price of the watch.

Option 1: Rs. 2,900

Option 2: Rs. 2,750

Option 3: Rs. 3,000

Option 4: Rs. 2,850

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Rs. 2,850


Solution : Ankita sold her watch at a 5% loss.
Here, SP = Selling price and CP = Cost price
Let the SP of the watch be $x$.
Then, CP $= \frac{100}{(100 - \text{Loss}\%)} \times SP =\frac{100}{(100- 5)} \times x = \frac{100}{95}x$
If she sold for 300 more, then $SP = 300 + x$
Then, gain = 5%
$CP =\frac{100}{(100 + P)} \times SP = \frac{100}{(100  +5)} \times (x + 300)$ = $\frac{100}{105}(300 + x)$
According to the question,
$\frac{100}{105}(300 + x) = \frac{100}{95}x$
$⇒\frac{(300 + x)}{x} = \frac{105}{95}$
$⇒95 \times (300 + x) = 105x$
$⇒28500 + 95x = 105x$
$⇒10x = 28500$
$\therefore x = 2850$
Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 2,850.

1. Two successive discounts of 5% and 5%
2. Single discount of 10%
3. Two successive discounts of 8% and 2%

Option 1: 2

Option 2: 1

Option 3: All will yield the same discount

Option 4: 3

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 2


Solution : Amount = INR 7500
1. Two successive discounts of 5% and 5%
Net discount % = $5 +5- \frac{5×5}{100}$ = $9.75$
2. Single discount of 10%
3. Two successive discounts of 8% and 2%
Net discount % = $8 +2- \frac{8×2}{100}$ = $9.84$
So, the maximum discount is from option 2, which is a single discount of 10%.
Hence, the correct answer is 2.
