Question : If $(x-2)(x-p) = x^2-ax+6$, then the value of $(a - p)$ is:

Option 1: 0

Option 2: 1

Option 3: 2

Option 4: 3

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 2


Solution : Given: $(x-2)(x-p) = x^2-ax+6$
⇒ $x^2-px-2x+2p=x^2-ax+6$
⇒ $x^2-(p+2)x+2p=x^2-ax+6$
By comparing both sides of the equation,
$p+2=a$
⇒ $a-p=2$
Hence, the correct answer is 2.

Question : A alone can finish a work in 15 days. A works only for the first two days and the last two days. The rest work is done by B and the work is completed in 20 days. In how many days A and B together can finish the work?

Option 1: $\frac{90}{8}$

Option 2: $\frac{80}{7}$

Option 3: $\frac{80}{9}$

Option 4: $\frac{70}{8}$

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\frac{80}{9}$


Solution : Time taken by A alone to do the work = 15
Work done by A alone in a day = $\frac{1}{15}$
Work done by A in the first and last two days = $\frac{4}{15}$
Work done by B in 16 days = 1 – $\frac{4}{15}$ = $\frac{11}{15}$
Work done by B alone in a day = $\frac{11}{15×16}$ = $\frac{11}{240}$
Work done by A and B together in a day
= $\frac{1}{15}$+$\frac{11}{240}$
= $\frac{27}{240}$
= $\frac{9}{80}$
$\therefore$ Time taken by A and B together to do the work = $\frac{80}{9}$ days
Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{80}{9}$.

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).

You can't avoid notifying the building while travelling.

(1) avoid to look

(2) avoid to noticing 

(3) avoid noticing 

(4) No Improvement 

Option 1: (1)

Option 2: (2)

Option 3: (3)

Option 4: (4)

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: (3)


Solution : The third option is the correct choice for the sentence.

In this context, avoid noticing is the appropriate phrase because it conveys the idea that we cannot refrain from observing or paying attention to the building while travelling.

The other options, avoid to look and avoid to noticing, are grammatically incorrect and do not fit the context of the sentence.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: "You can’t avoid noticing the building while travelling."

Question : Directions: Read the given statements and conclusions carefully. Assuming that the information given in the statements is true, even if it appears to be at variance with commonly known facts, decide which of the given conclusions logically follow(s) from the statements.
Statements:
All Tim is Jack.
No Jack is Ben.
Some Ben is Ruth.
Conclusions:
I. No Ruth is Jack.
II. Some Ben is Jack.
III. No Ben is Tim.

Option 1: Only conclusions I and II follow

Option 2: Only conclusion III follows

Option 3: Only conclusion I follows

Option 4: Only conclusions I and III follow

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Only conclusion III follows


Solution : The possible Venn diagram, according to the given statements is as follows –

Let's analyse the conclusions –
Conclusion (I): No Ruth is Jack – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that there is no direct relation between Ruth and Jack. So, no definite relation can be drawn. Therefore, this conclusion does not follow.
Conclusion (II): Some Ben is Jack – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that there is a negative relation between Ben and Jack. So, this conclusion does not follow.
Conclusion (III): No Ben is Tim – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that all Tim is Jack and no Jack is Ben. So, it can be concluded that no Ben is Tim.

So, the only conclusion III follows. Hence, the second option is correct.

I found my bag to lie where I had left it.

Option 1: No improvement required

Option 2: to be lying

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

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

Rahul knows Shahbaz since childhood.

Option 1: Shahbaz was known to Rahul since childhood.

Option 2: Shahbaz is known to Rahul since childhood.

Option 3: Shahbaz known by Rahul since childhood.

Option 4: Shahbaz has known Rahul since childhood.

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Shahbaz is known to Rahul since childhood.


Solution : The correct choice is the second option.

Passive voice is the voice in which the object experiences an action rather than the object experiencing an action rather than the person that performs the action. Hence, the object in the active sentence becomes the subject in the passive voice.

The structure of the passive voice in the case of the simple present tense is: "Singular object + is + past participle form of the verb + prepositional phrase."

Therefore, the right answer is: "Shahbaz is known to Rahul since childhood."

Question : If $\frac{11-13x}{x}+\frac{11-13y}{y}+\frac{11-13z}{z}=5$, then what is the value of $\frac{1}{x}+\frac{1}{y}+\frac{1}{z}$?

Option 1: $1$

Option 2: $\frac{13}{11}$

Option 3: $\frac{13}{5}$

Option 4: $4$

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $4$


Solution : Given:
$\frac{11-13x}{x}+\frac{11-13y}{y}+\frac{11-13z}{z}=5$
$⇒\frac{11}{x}-\frac{13x}{x}+\frac{11}{y}-\frac{13y}{y}+\frac{11}{z}-\frac{13z}{z}=5$
$⇒\frac{11}{x}+\frac{11}{x}+\frac{11}{x}-39=5$
$⇒11(\frac{1}{x}+\frac{1}{y}+\frac{1}{z})=44$
$\therefore\frac{1}{x}+\frac{1}{y}+\frac{1}{z}=\frac{44}{11}=4$
Hence, the correct answer is $4$.
