Question : Directions: The second number in the given number pairs is obtained by performing certain mathematical operation(s) on the first number. The same operation(s) is/are followed in all the number pairs, except one. Find that odd number pair.

Option 1: (7, 89)

Option 2: (8, 102)

Option 3: (5, 60)

Option 4: (6, 76)

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: (5, 60)


Solution : Let's check the options –
First option: (7, 89); (7 × 12) + (7 – 2) = 84 + 5 = 89
Second option: (8, 102); (8 × 12) + (8 – 2) = 96 + 6 = 102
Third option: (5, 60); (5 × 12) + (5 – 2) = 60 + 3 = 63 ≠ 60
Fourth option: (6, 76); (6 × 12) + (6 – 2) = 72 + 4 = 76

So, the third option does not follow the logic and is different from the others. Hence, the third option is correct.

Question : Directions: In the following question, some parts of the sentence have errors, and some are correct. Find out which part of the sentence has an error. The number of that part is the answer. If a sentence is error-free, your answer is "No Error".

The reason for (1) / his failure is because (2) / he did not work hard (3) / No Error (4)

Option 1: 1

Option 2: 2

Option 3: 3

Option 4: 4

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 2


Solution : The error lies in the second part of the sentence.

Explanation: The phrase, "the reason for his failure is because" is redundant. Both "the reason" and "because" convey the idea of causation. To correct this redundancy, we should use "the reason for his failure is that". In this case, using "that" results in a clearer and more concise sentence.

Therefore, the correct sentence should be: "The reason for his failure is that he did not work hard."

Question : Blood group AB has

Option 1: no antigen

Option 2: no antibody

Option 3: neither antigen nor antibody

Option 4: both antigen and antibody

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: no antibody


Solution : The correct option is no antibody.

Individuals with blood type AB do not naturally develop antibodies against the ABO blood group antigens. The four major blood types are A, B, AB, and O. Each blood type has different antigens on the surface of red blood cells, and people may have naturally occurring antibodies against antigens they don't have. Because type AB people have both A and B antigens on their red blood cells and do not normally create anti-A or anti-B antibodies, their plasma may be safely transfused to people with other blood types without provoking an immunological reaction.

Question : If a + b + c = 0, the value of (a+ b3 + c3) is:

Option 1: abc

Option 2: 2abc

Option 3: 3abc

Option 4: 0

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 3abc


Solution : Given: a + b + c = 0
a3 + b3 + c3 – 3abc = (a + b + c)(a2 + b2 + c2 – ab – bc – ca)
⇒ a3 + b3 + c3 – 3abc = (0)(a2 + b+ c2 – ab – bc – ca)
⇒ a3 + b3 + c3 – 3abc = 0
⇒ a3 + b3 + c3 = 3abc
Hence, the correct answer is 3abc.

Question : The value of $\frac{p^{2}- (q - r)^{2}}{(p + r)^{2} - (q)^{2}}$ + $\frac{q^{2} - (p - r)^{2}}{(p + q)^{2} - (r)^{2}}$ + $\frac{r^{2}- (p - q)^{2}}{(q + r)^{2} - (p)^{2}}$ is:

Option 1: 1

Option 2: 2

Option 3: 0

Option 4: 3

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 1


Solution : $\frac{p^{2} - (q - r)^{2}}{(p + r)^{2} - (q)^{2}}$ + $\frac{q^{2} - (p - r)^{2}}{(p + q)^{2} - (r)^{2}}$ + $\frac{r^{2} - (p – q)^{2}}{(q + r)^{2} - (p)^{2}}$
= $\frac{(p + q - r)(p - q + r)}{(p + q + r)(p - q + r)} + \frac{(p + q - r)(-p + q + r)}{(p + q + r)(p + q - r)} + \frac{(p - q + r)(–p+ q + r)}{(p + q + r)(–p + q + r)}$
= $\frac{p + q - r - p + q + r + p -q + r}{p + q+ r}$
= $\frac{p + q + r}{p + q + r}$
= $1$
Hence, the correct answer is 1.

Question : Vinegar is

Option 1: Diluted acetic acid

Option 2: Glacial acetic acid

Option 3: Glacial formic acid

Option 4: Diluted formic acid

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Diluted acetic acid


Solution : The correct answer is Diluted acetic acid.

Vinegar is a diluted acetic acid solution often comprising 4-8% acetic acid in water. Glacial acetic acid, on the other hand, is pure acetic acid in its concentrated state and often appears as a clear, colourless liquid. Although vinegar includes Acetic acid, it differs from glacial acetic acid due to its lower concentration and the presence of other components in the solution.
