Question : Directions: In this question, some equations are solved on the same basis as a certain system. On the same basis, find out the correct answer out of the four alternatives for the unsolved equation.
If, 64 + 7 = 460 and 25 + 8 = 212, then 43 + 8 = ?

Option 1: 360

Option 2: 376

Option 3: 332

Option 4: 356

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 356


Solution : Given:
64 + 7 = 460 and 25 + 8 = 212

Like, 64 + 7 = 460→(64 × 7) + 12 = 448 + 12 = 460
And, 25 + 8 = 212→(25 × 8) + 12 = 200 + 12 = 212
Similarly, for 43 + 8 = ?→(43 × 8) + 12 = 344 + 12 = 356

Hence, the fourth option is correct.

Question : Three years ago, Raman’s salary was INR 45,000. His salary is increased by 10 percent, A percent and 20 percent in the first, second and third year respectively. Raman's present salary is INR 83,160. What is the value of A?

Option 1: 50

Option 2: 30

Option 3: 54

Option 4: 40

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 40


Solution : Given: Three years ago, Raman’s salary was INR 45,000.
According to the question,
45000 × (100 + 10)% × (100 + A)% × (100 + 20)% = 83160
⇒ 45000 × 1110 × (100 + A)% × 65 = 83160
⇒ (100 + A)% = 75
⇒ 5(100 + A) = 7 × 100
⇒ 500 + 5A = 700
⇒ 5A = 700 – 500
⇒ 5A = 200
⇒ A = 40
Hence, the correct answer is 40.

Question : If secθ+tanθ=3, then the value of secθ is:

Option 1: 43

Option 2: 34

Option 3: 35

Option 4: 53

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 53


Solution : Given: The value of the trigonometric equation is secθ+tanθ=3.
We know that if secθ+tanθ=x. Then, secθtanθ=1x.
secθ+tanθ=3   (equation 1)
⇒ secθtanθ=13    (equation 2)
Adding equation 1 and equation 2,
secθ+tanθ+secθtanθ=3+13
⇒ 2secθ=3×3+13
⇒ 2secθ=103
⇒ secθ=53
Hence, the correct answer is 53.

(44, 63, 98)
(59, 99, 149)

Option 1: (81, 15, 87)

Option 2: (54, 73, 121)

Option 3: (19, 32, 44)

Option 4: (82, 13, 96)

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: (81, 15, 87)


Solution : Given:
(44, 63, 98); (59, 99, 149)

In the given sets, the sum of the first and second numbers equals the sum of the third number and 9. 
(44, 63, 98)→44 + 63 = 107; 98 + 9 = 107
(59, 99, 149)→59 + 99 = 158; 149 + 9 = 158
Let's check the options –
First option: (81, 15, 87)→81 + 15 = 96; 87 + 9 = 96
Second option: (54, 73, 121)→54 + 73 = 127; 121 + 9 = 130 ≠ 127
Third option: (19, 32, 44)→19 + 32 = 51; 44 + 9 = 53 ≠ 51
Fourth option: (82, 13, 96)→82 + 13 = 95; 96 + 9 = 105 ≠ 95

So, only the first option, follows the pattern of the given sets. Hence, the first option is correct.

ABCD, EBCD, ?, OBCD, UBCD

Option 1: JBCD

Option 2: LBCD

Option 3: IBCD

Option 4: KBCD

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

According to the vowel series (A, E, I, O, U), the first letter is increased by 1 from the previous term and BCD is constant in all the terms –
ABCDA + 1 = E; According to the vowel series; EBCD 
EBCDE + 1 = I; According to the vowel series; IBCD
IBCDI + 1 = O; According to the vowel series; OBCD
OBCDO + 1 = U; According to the vowel series; UBCD

So, IBCD is the missing term in the series. Hence, the third option is correct.
