Question : Directions: Three statements are given, followed by three conclusions numbered I, II and III. Assuming the statements to be true, even if they seem to be at variance with commonly known facts, decide which of the conclusions logically follow(s) from the statements.
Statements:
l. All phones are laptops.
ll. All pen drives are phones.
lll. All pen drives are pens.
Conclusions:
I. All pens are phones.
II. All laptops are pens.
III. All pen drives are laptops.

Option 1: Only conclusion III follows

Option 2: Only conclusions I and II follow

Option 3: Only conclusions II and III follow

Option 4: Only conclusions I and III follow

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Only conclusion III follows


Solution : The possible Venn diagram, according to the given statements is as follows –

Let's analyse the conclusions –
Conclusion (I): All pens are phones – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that the circles representing pens and phones overlap each other and have a part of their areas in common. So, from this, it can be concluded that some pens are phones. Thus, this conclusion does not follow.
Conclusion (II): All laptops are pens – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that the circles representing pens and laptops overlap each other and have a part of their areas in common. So, from this, it can be concluded that some laptops are pens. Thus, this conclusion does not follow.
Conclusion (III): All pen drives are laptops – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that the circle representing pen drives is completely overlapped by the circle representing laptops. So, from this, it can be concluded that all pen drives are laptops. Thus, this conclusion follows.

So, the only conclusion III follows. Hence, the first option is correct.

Question : If x + y = 7 and xy = 19, calculate the value of x+ y2.

Option 1: 17

Option 2: 12

Option 3: 11

Option 4: 19

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 11


Solution : Given: x + y = 7 and xy = 19.
On squaring both sides of the equation x + y = 7, we get,
(x + y)2 = 72
⇒ (x+ y+ 2xy) = 49
⇒ x+ y+ 2 × 19 = 49
⇒ x+ y2 = 49 – 38
$\therefore$ x+ y2 = 11
Hence, the correct answer is 11.

Question : The greater of the two numbers whose product is 900 and whose sum exceeds their difference by 30 is:

Option 1: 60

Option 2: 75

Option 3: 90

Option 4: 100

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 60


Solution : Let the numbers be $x$ and $y$ where $x > y$.
According to the question,
⇒ $(x + y) – (x – y) = 30$
⇒ $x + y–x + y = 30$
⇒ $y = \frac{30}{2} = 15$
Also, $xy = 900$
⇒ $15x = 900$
$\therefore x = \frac{900}{15} = 60$
Hence, the correct answer is 60.

Question : In an examination, 92% of the students passed and 480 students failed. If so, how many students appeared in the examination?

Option 1: 5,800

Option 2: 6,200

Option 3: 6,000

Option 4: 5,000

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 6,000


Solution : Given: In an examination, 92% of the students passed and 480 students failed.
Let the number of the students who appeared in the examination = 100%.
The number of the students failed = 100 – 92 = 8%.
8% = 480
The number of students who appeared in the examination,
100% = $\frac{480}{8}\times 100=6000$
Hence, the correct answer is 6,000.

Question : The cost price of an article is decreased by 10% and then increased by 20%. If the final price is INR 540, then the original cost price is:

Option 1: INR 500

Option 2: INR 650

Option 3: INR 550

Option 4: INR 600

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: INR 500


Solution : Let the cost price be INR $x$.
The cost price first decreased by 10%, then increased by 20%.
So, $\frac{x×90×120}{100×100}=540$
⇒ $108x=54000$
⇒ $x=500$
Therefore, the original cost price = INR 500
Hence, the correct answer is INR 500.
