Question : A man covers a total distance of 100 kilometres on a bicycle. For the first 2 hours, the speed was 20 km/hr and for the rest of the journey, it came down to 10 km/hr. The average speed will be:

Option 1: $12\frac{1}{2}\ \text{km/hr}$

Option 2: $13\ \text{km/hr}$

Option 3: $15\frac{1}{8}\ \text{km/hr}$

Option 4: $20\ \text{km/hr}$

Team Careers360 21st Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $12\frac{1}{2}\ \text{km/hr}$


Solution : Given:
Total distance = 100 km
The distance covered in the first 2 hours at 20 km/hr:
Distance = Speed × Time = 20 × 2 = 40 km
Distance left to cover is (100 – 40) = 60 km
Time taken to cover

Question : In a $\triangle ABC$, AD, BE and CF are the medians from vertices A, B, and C, respectively. The point of intersection of AD, BE and CF is called

Option 1: median point

Option 2: orthocentre

Option 3: centroid

Option 4: incentre

Team Careers360 22nd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: centroid


Solution : In a $\triangle ABC$, AD, BE and CF are the medians from vertices A, B, and C.
The point of intersection of AD, BE and CF is called the centroid.
Hence, the correct answer is the centroid.

Question : If $(x+\frac{1}{x})\neq 0$ and $(x^3+\frac{1}{x^3})= 0$, then the value $(x+\frac{1}{x})^4$ is:

Option 1: 9

Option 2: 12

Option 3: 15

Option 4: 16

Team Careers360 22nd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 9


Solution : Given: $(x+\frac{1}{x})\neq 0$ and $(x^3+\frac{1}{x^3})=0$
$(x+\frac{1}{x})^3=x^3+\frac{1}{x^3}+3×x×\frac{1}{x}(x+\frac{1}{x})$
Substitute the value of $(x^3+\frac{1}{x^3})=0$ in above equation, we get,
⇒ $(x+\frac{1}{x})^3=0+3(x+\frac{1}{x})$
⇒ $(x+\frac{1}{x})^3=3(x+\frac{1}{x})$
⇒ $(x+\frac{1}{x})^{3–1}=3$
⇒ $(x+\frac{1}{x})^2=3$
On squaring both sides of the above equation, we get,
⇒ $((x+\frac{1}{x})^2)^2=3^2$
⇒ $(x+\frac{1}{x})^4=9$
Hence, the correct answer is 9.

Question : If $\tan3\theta \tan7\theta = 1$, where $7\theta$ is an acute angle, then find the value of $\cot15\theta$.

Option 1: $1$

Option 2: $-1$

Option 3: $-\sqrt{3}$

Option 4: $\sqrt{3}$

Team Careers360 21st Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $-1$


Solution : $\tan3\theta \cdot \tan7\theta = 1$
⇒ $\tan 7\theta = \frac{1}{\tan 3\theta}$
⇒ $\tan7\theta = \cot3\theta$
⇒ $\tan7\theta = \tan(90° - 3\theta)$
⇒ $7\theta + 3\theta = 90°$
⇒ $10\theta = 90°$
⇒ $\theta = 9°$
$\therefore$ $\cot15\theta = \cot (15\times 9)°=\cot135° = \cot(90° + 45°)=-\tan45°
