Question : Directions: In the following question, you have to identify the correct response from the given premises stated according to the following signs.
If × means addition, – means division, ÷ means subtraction, and + means multiplication, then which of the equations is correct?

Option 1: 16 × 5 ÷ 10 + 4 – 3 = 19

Option 2: 16 + 5 ÷ 10 × 4 – 3 = 9

Option 3: 16 + 5 – 10 × 4 ÷ 3 = 9

Option 4: 16 – 5 × 10 ÷ 4 + 3 = 12

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 16 + 5 – 10 × 4 ÷ 3 = 9


Solution : Given:
× means addition, – means division, ÷ means subtraction, and + means multiplication.

Replace the mathematical signs in the equations and solve the equations one by one.
Let's check the given options –
First option: 16 × 5 ÷ 10 + 4 – 3 = 19
⇒ 16 + 5 – 10 × 4 ÷ 3 = 19
Solving L.H.S. of the equation –
= 16 + 5 – 10 × 1.33
= 16 + 5 – 13.33
= 21 – 13.33
= 7.67 ≠ 19
Second option: 16 + 5 ÷ 10 × 4 – 3 = 9
⇒ 16 × 5 – 10 + 4 ÷ 3 = 9
Solving L.H.S. of the equation –
= 16 × 5 – 10 + 1.33
= 80 – 10 + 1.33
= 81.33 – 10
= 71.33 ≠ 9
Third option: 16 + 5 – 10 × 4 ÷ 3 = 9
⇒ 16 × 5 ÷ 10 + 4 – 3 = 9
Solving L.H.S. of the equation –
= 16 × 0.5 + 4 – 3
= 8 + 4 – 3
= 12 – 3
= 9 = R.H.S.
Fourth option: 16 – 5 × 10 ÷ 4 + 3 = 12
⇒ 16 ÷ 5 + 10 – 4 × 3 = 12
Solving L.H.S. of the equation –
= 3.2 + 10 – 4 × 3
= 3.2 + 10 – 12
= 13.2 – 12
= 1.2 ≠ 12

So, only the third option satisfies the given condition. Hence, the third option is correct.

Option 1: Golgi bodies

Option 2: Mitochondria

Option 3: RIbosome

Option 4: Endoplasmic reticulum

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Question : If $\frac{\sin x-\cos x}{\sin x+\cos x}=\frac{2}{5}$, then the value of $\frac{1+\cot ^2 x}{1-\cot ^2 x}$ is:

Option 1: 2.25

Option 2: 1.45

Option 3: 3.75

Option 4: 5.25

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 1.45


Solution : $\frac{\sin x-\cos x}{\sin x+\cos x}=\frac{2}{5}$
Dividing both the numerator and denominator by $\cos x$
⇒ $\frac{1-\cot x}{1+\cot x}=\frac{2}{5}$
⇒ $5-5\cot x=2+2\cot x$
⇒ $\cot x=\frac{3}{7}$
So, $\frac{1+\cot ^2 x}{1-\cot ^2 x}$=$\frac{1+(\frac{3}7) ^2}{1-(\frac{3}7)^2 }=\frac{58}{40} = 1.45$
Hence, the correct answer is 1.45.

Question : What is the transplantation of graft between genetically identical individuals?

Option 1: Autograft

Option 2: Isograft

Option 3: Allograft

Option 4: Xenograft

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Isograft


Solution : The correct option is Isograft.

The transplantation of graft between genetically identical people is known as "isograft" or "isogeneic graft". The donor and recipient in this sort of grafting or transplantation have the same genetic composition because they are identical twins or clones. Because of the genetic similarities, the immunological response to the graft is weak or non-existent, lowering the chance of rejection. Isografts have a better success rate than transplants between persons with diverse genetic origins.

Question : Directions: If P denotes +, Q denotes –, R denotes ÷, and S denotes ×, then 18 S 36 R 12 Q 6 P 7 = ?

Option 1: 115

Option 2: 65

Option 3: 55

Option 4: 25

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 55


Solution : Given:
18 S 36 R 12 Q 6 P 7 = ?

After replacing the letters with mathematical signs, the equation becomes –
= 18 × 36 ÷ 12 – 6 + 7
= 18 × 3 – 6 + 7
= 54 – 6 + 7
= 61 – 6
= 55

Hence, the third option is correct.

Question : Parts of the following sentence have been given as options. Select the option that contains an error.

She is in an hurry to meet her brother.

Option 1: to meet

Option 2: She is in

Option 3: her brother

Option 4: an hurry

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: an hurry


Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option.

Explanation: The correct article to be used should be "a" instead of "an" before "hurry". An is used before words that start with a vowel sound, while a is used before words that start with a consonant sound. In this case, "hurry" starts with a consonant sound, so it should be a hurry.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: "She is in a hurry to meet her brother."
