Option 1:

Option 2:

Option 3:

Option 4:

Correct Answer:


Solution : Since the rotation is restricted. So, the embedded figure will have the same orientation as the main figure. By comparison of the question figure with all the option figures, the given question figure is embedded only in the second option figure.

Hence, the second option is correct.

Question : Select the option that expresses the given sentence in reported speech.

“Please lend me some money, Raman. I need it urgently,” said Sumesh.

Option 1: Sumesh requested Raman to lend him some money as he needed it urgently.

Option 2: Sumesh requested Raman please lend me some money as I need it urgently.

Option 3: Sumesh requested to Raman to please lend him some money as he needed it urgently.

Option 4: Sumesh requested Raman to lend me some money as I needed it urgently.

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Sumesh requested Raman to lend him some money as he needed it urgently.


Solution : The correct choice is the first option.

The steps for conversion are as follows:

  • The pronoun "me" (first person) is changed to "him" (third person).
  • The reporting verb "said" is changed to "requested" in the imperative sentence.
  • The infinitive form i.e. "to + base form of the verb" is used in the case of the imperative sentence.

Therefore, the sentence in the reported speech is: "Sumesh requested Raman to lend him some money as he needed it urgently."

Question : Sentences of a paragraph are given below in jumbled order. Arrange the sentences in the correct order to form a meaningful and coherent paragraph.
A. The temperature of the world has increased, resulting in global warming.
B. The melting of the ice caps will increase the sea level, thereby drowning many islands and coastal regions.
C. The increased amount of carbon emission is considered as the reason behind global warming.
D. The increase in the global temperature is melting the polar ice caps.

Option 1: ABCD

Option 2: ACBD

Option 3: ACDB

Option 4: BADC

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: ACDB


Solution : The third option is correct.

Here, the given sentences discuss the progression and consequences of global warming. So, the logical flow of the sequence would be:

  • (A) introduces the rise in the world's temperature and its effect, global warming.
  • (C) explains the cause: increased carbon emissions leading to global warming.
  • (D) details the effect: the rise in global temperature causing the melting of polar ice caps.
  • (B) concludes by highlighting the consequence: the potential rise in sea levels impacting islands and coastal regions due to melted ice caps.

Question : If the seven-digit number 52A6B7C is divisible by 33, and A, B, and C are primes, then the maximum value of 2A + 3B + C is:

Option 1: 32

Option 2: 23

Option 3: 27

Option 4: 34

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 23


Solution : 5 + 2 + A + 6 + B + 7 + C = 20 + A + B + C
Possible values of (A + B + C) = 1, 4, 7, 10, 13, 16, 19, 22, 25
Again,
5 + A + B + C – 2 – 6 – 7 = 0 or Multiple of 11
⇒ 5 + A + B + C – 15 = 0 or Multiple of 11
From the above possible values, for (A + B + C) = 10 we get 0
So, A + B + C = 10
Now,
If A = 5, B = 3, C = 2
⇒ 2A + 3B + C = 10 + 9 + 2 = 21
If A = 3, B = 5, C = 2
⇒ 2A + 3B + C = 6 + 15 + 2 = 23
If A = 3, B = 2, C = 5
⇒ 2A + 3B + C = 6 + 6 + 2 = 17
If A = 2, B = 5, C = 3
⇒ 2A + 3B + C = 4 + 15 + 3 = 22
Hence, the correct answer is 23.

Question : Direction: Study the bar graph given below, which shows the percent distribution of total expenditures of a company under various expenses, and answer the question.

If the interest on loans amounted to INR 2.45 crores, then the total amount of expenditure on advertisement, taxes, and research and development is:

Option 1: INR 7 crores

Option 2: INR 4.2 crores

Option 3: INR 5.4 crores

Option 4: INR 3 crores

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: INR 4.2 crores


Solution : Let the total expenditure be INR $100x$.
According to the question,
Interest on Loans = 17.5%
$\frac{17.5}{100} \times 100x = 24500000$
$⇒17.5x=24500000$
$⇒x=1400000$
Total expenditure = 14,00,00,000
Expenditure on advertisement = 15%
Expenditure on taxes = 10%
Expenditure on research = 5%
Total expenditure = 15 + 10 + 5 = 30%
The total amount of expenditure on advertisement, taxes, and research and development is $140000000  \times \frac{30}{100}$ = INR 4,20,00,000 = INR 4.2 crores
Hence, the correct answer is INR 4.2 crores.

Question : Directions: In this question, some equations are solved based on a certain system. On the same basis, find out the correct answer out of the four alternatives for the unsolved equation.
If 6 × 2 × 9 = 269, 8 × 7 × 1 = 781, then 4 × 1 × 3 = ?

Option 1: 431

Option 2: 413

Option 3: 341

Option 4: 143

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 143


Solution : Given:
6 × 2 × 9 = 269; 8 × 7 × 1 = 781

The third number remains at the third position while the first and second numbers swap positions.
Like, 6 × 2 × 9 = 269
And, 8 × 7 × 1 = 781
Similarly, follow the same pattern for 4 × 1 × 3 = 143

Hence, the fourth option is correct.

Question : What is the ratio of the mean proportional between 1.6 and 3.6 and the third proportional of 5 and 8?

Option 1: 2 : 15

Option 2: 5 : 16

Option 3: 3 : 16

Option 4: 4 : 15

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 3 : 16


Solution : Mean proportion of 1.6 and 3.6
$=\sqrt{ab}=\sqrt{1.6\times 3.6}=2.4$
Now, the third proportion of 5 and 8
$=\frac{b^2}{a}=\frac{8^2}{5}=\frac{64}{5}$
$\therefore$ Ratio of mean proportion to third proportion = $2.4:\frac{64}{5}$ = 12 : 64 = 3 : 16
Hence, the correct answer is 3 : 16.

Question : Directions: In this question, three statements are given, followed by two conclusions. Assuming the statements to be true, even if they seem to be at variance with commonly known facts, decide which of the conclusions logically follows/follow from the statements.
Statements:
I. No streak is a line.
II. Some lines are bonds.
III. All bonds are flashes.
Conclusions:
I. Some flashes are streaks.
II. No flash is a line.

Option 1: Only conclusion I follows

Option 2: Both conclusions I and II follow

Option 3: Only conclusion II follows

Option 4: Neither conclusion I nor II follows

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Neither conclusion I nor II follows


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

Let's analyse the conclusions –
Conclusion I: Some flashes are streaks – From the above diagram, it can be seen that there is no direct relation between flashes and streaks. Therefore, this conclusion is false.
Conclusion II: No flash is a line – From the Venn diagram, it can be seen that the circle of flash and line intersect and have some common area between them and it implies that some flash are lines. Therefore, this conclusion is false.

Therefore, neither conclusion I nor II follows. Hence, the fourth option is correct.

Question : Select the most appropriate one-word substitution for the given words.

A group of lions

Option 1: Herd

Option 2: Pack

Option 3: Pride

Option 4: Colony

  • Herd: This term is typically used for animals like cows or sheep.
  • Pack: This term is often used for animals like wolves.
  • Colony: This term refers to a group of animals, especially birds or insects, living together.
Therefore, a group of lions is called a pride.
