Question : Find the value of $\tan 27^{\circ} \tan 34^{\circ}+\tan 34^{\circ} \tan 29^{\circ}+\tan 29^{\circ} \tan 27^{\circ}$.

Option 1: $0$

Option 2: $–1$

Option 3: $\sqrt3$

Option 4: $1$

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $1$


Solution : If $A + B + C = 90°$, then $\tan A\tan B + \tan B\tan C + \tan C\tan A = 1$
Now, 27 + 34 + 29 = 90°
So, $\tan 27^{\circ} \tan 34^{\circ} + \tan 34^{\circ} \tan 29^{\circ} + \tan 29^{\circ} \tan 27^{\circ}=1$
Hence, the correct answer is 1.

Question : Which of the following cells line the spongocoel and canals in members of the phylum Porifera?

Option 1: Somatic cells

Option 2: Collar cells

Option 3: White cells

Option 4: Sex cells

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Collar cells


Solution : The correct answer is Collar cells.

Choanocytes, also called collar cells, are special cells that cover the inside of the central cavity (spongocoel) and canals in sponges. These cells have tiny, hair-like structures called flagella. The flagella move in a coordinated way to create a flow of water that goes in one direction, towards the opening at the top called the osculum. This flow helps the sponge filter and collect nutrients from the water, kind of like a natural water pump for the sponge.

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

He does not buy shirts.

Option 1: Shirts are not bought by him.

Option 2: Shirts are not brought by him.

Option 3: Shirts were not been bought by him.

Option 4: Shirts were not bought by him.

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Shirts are not bought by him.


Solution : The correct choice is the first option.

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 voice becomes the subject in the passive voice. 

The structure of the passive sentence in the simple present tense is: Object + are + not + past participle form of the verb + by + agent of action.

So, the correct sentence is: Shirts are not bought by him.

Question : The cube of 997 is:

Option 1: 991026973

Option 2: 991029673

Option 3: 998746523

Option 4: 99102456

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 991026973


Solution : Here, (997)3 = (1000 – 3)3
= 1000– 3– 3 × 1000 × 3 × (1000 – 3) [Using the formula (a – b)3 = a– b– 3ab(a – b)]
= 1000000000 – 27 – 9000(997)
= 991026973
Hence, the correct answer is 991026973.

Question : What is the Net National Product?

Option 1: The product of gross national product and depreciation is net national product.

Option 2: The sum of gross national product and income of foreigners is net national product.

Option 3: Net National product is equal to gross national product.

Option 4: The difference between gross national product and depreciation is net national product.

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: The difference between gross national product and depreciation is net national product.


Solution : The correct answer is The difference between gross national product and depreciation is net national product.

The term "net national product" refers to gross national product, which is the total market value, less depreciation, of all finished goods and services generated by a nation's or other polity's factors of production over a specific period. As a result, NNP is equal to national income, or the total amount of money that can be spent on goods and services in the economy. The net national product is the amount that remains after depreciation, which subtracts it from the gross national product.

Question : Select the false statement from the given options.

Option 1: Baikal rocks are formed from the dissolved materials that precipitate from the solution

Option 2: The sedimentary rocks are formed by the deposition and subsequent cementation of that material within bodies of water and at the surface of the earth

Option 3: Metamorphic rocks may be formed simply by being deep beneath the Earth’s surface, subjected to high temperatures and the great pressure of the rock layers above it

Option 4: Igneous rock is formed through the cooling and solidification of magma or lava

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Baikal rocks are formed from the dissolved materials that precipitate from the solution


Solution : The correct option is Baikal rocks are formed from the dissolved materials that precipitate from the solution.

The rocks around Lake Baikal in Siberia, Russia, are primarily of igneous origin. Lake Baikal is known for its unique geological and environmental features, but the formation of rocks in the region is not primarily related to the precipitation of dissolved materials from solutions.

Question : The least six-digit number, which is a perfect square, is:

Option 1: 100489

Option 2: 10000

Option 3: 100256

Option 4: 100255

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 100489


Solution : The least six-digit number is 100000.
Using the long division method to find its square root, we see that it is not a perfect square.
⇒ (316)= (100000 – 144) = 99856, a 5-digit number.
But (317)= 100489, a 6-digit number.
Therefore, the smallest six-digit number which is also a perfect square is 100489.
Hence, the correct answer is 100489.

Question : Given below are four jumbled sentences. Select the option that gives their correct order.

A. The boy, who was passionate about nature, knew that he had to walk away slowly not to alarm the animal.
B. Twelve-year-old Alessandro was wandering among the bushes looking for pine cones when he appeared to be followed by a bear.
C. Alessandro’s mother panicked when she saw the bear; however, the boy told her to be silent.
D. When he had safely entered his house, the bear stopped following him and disappeared.

Option 1: BDCA

Option 2: CBDA

Option 3: BACD

Option 4: DCAB

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: BACD


Solution : The third option is the correct choice.

Firstly, sentence B sets the stage by introducing Alessandro, his age, and his activity of wandering among the bushes. Sentence A details Alessandro's encounter with the bear, emphasising his knowledge of how to handle the situation. Sentence C describes Alessandro's mother's reaction and the boy's response to maintain silence, creating tension in the narrative. Finally, sentence D concludes the sequence by explaining the outcome—once Alessandro safely enters his house, the bear stops following him, resolving the potential threat.
