Question : Directions: Which letter cluster will replace the question mark (?) to complete the given series?
ABCD, EBCD, ?, OBCD, UBCD

Option 1: JBCD

Option 2: LBCD

Option 3: IBCD

Option 4: KBCD

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: IBCD


Solution : Given:
ABCD, EBCD, ?, OBCD, UBCD

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.

Question : Fifteen movie theatres average 600 customers per theatre per day. If six of the theatres close down, but the total theatre attendance stays the same, then the average daily attendance per theatre among the remaining theatres is:

Option 1: 900

Option 2: 1000

Option 3: 1100

Option 4: 1200

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 1000


Solution : Total attendance in 15 movie theatres = 15 × 600 = 9000
After the closing of 6 theatres, remaining theatres = 15 – 6 = 9
Attendance remains the same, so the required average:
$=\frac{\text{Total attendance}}{\text{Remaining theatres}}$
$=\frac{9000}{9}$
$=1000$
Hence, the correct answer is 1000.

Question : Hailstorms are caused due to

Option 1: Condensation

Option 2: Convection

Option 3: sublimation

Option 4: Freezing

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Freezing


Solution : The correct option is Freezing.

Hailstorms are caused by updrafts in thunderstorms that carry raindrops into extremely cold cloud areas where they come into touch with supercooled water droplets (liquid water below the freezing point). When the supercooled water droplets come into touch with the bigger raindrops, a phenomenon known as nucleation may occur. Tiny ice pellets are formed during this freezing process. The hailstones eventually hit the earth when they are too heavy for the updrafts to support.

Option 1:

Option 2:

Option 3:

Option 4:

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer:


Solution : As per the mirror image properties, closer things appear close to the mirror in the reflection.
Here, according to the information provided, the mirror is placed on the right side of the figure (on line AB). So, the left side of the reflected image will appear as the right side, and the right side will appear as the left side. However, the top and bottom of the reflected image will remain the same.
Thus, the correct mirror image of the given figure will be –

Hence, the fourth option is correct.

Question : Directions: Select the correct combination of mathematical signs to sequentially replace the * signs and balance the given equation.
76 * 4 * 26 * 13 * 9 * 62

Option 1: –, +, ÷, ×, =

Option 2: +, ÷, ×, –, =

Option 3: +, –, ÷, ×, =

Option 4: ÷, –, +, ×, =

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: +, –, ÷, ×, =


Solution : Given: 
76 * 4 * 26 * 13 * 9 * 62

Replace the * sign given in the equation with the assigned signs in the options.
Let's check the options –

First option: –, +, ÷, ×, =
⇒ 76 – 4 + 26 ÷ 13 × 9 = 62
Solving the L.H.S. of the equation –
= 76 – 4 + 2 × 9
= 76 – 4 + 18
= 90 ≠ 62
Second option: +, ÷, ×, –, =
⇒ 76 + 4 ÷ 26 × 13 – 9 = 62
Solving the L.H.S. of the equation –
= 76 + 0.153 × 13 – 9
= 76 + 1.98 – 9
68.98 ≠ 62
Third option: +, –, ÷, ×, =
⇒ 76 + 4 – 26 ÷ 13 × 9 = 62
Solving the L.H.S. of the equation –
= 76 + 4 – 2 × 9
= 76 + 4 – 18
= 62 = R.H.S.
Fourth option: ÷, –, +, ×, =
⇒ 76 ÷ 4 – 26 + 13 × 9 = 62
Solving the L.H.S. of the equation –
= 19 – 26 + 117
= 110 ≠ 62

So, only the third option satisfies the equation. Hence, the third option is correct.
