Question : If $\operatorname{cosec} \theta=\frac{b}{a}$, then $\frac{\sqrt{3} \cot \theta+1}{\tan \theta+\sqrt{3}}$ is equal to:

Option 1: $\frac{\sqrt{b^2-a^2}}{b}$

Option 2: $\frac{\sqrt{b^2-a^2}}{a}$

Option 3: $\frac{\sqrt{a^2+b^2}}{a}$

Option 4: $\frac{\sqrt{a^2+b^2}}{b}$

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\frac{\sqrt{b^2-a^2}}{a}$


Solution : Given,
$\operatorname{cosec} \theta=\frac{b}{a}$
⇒ $\sin\theta=\frac ab$
We have to find the value of $\frac{\sqrt{3} \cot \theta+1}{\tan \theta+\sqrt{3}}$
We know, $\cot\theta=\frac{\cos\theta}{\sin\theta}$ and $\tan\theta=\frac{\sin\theta}{\cos\theta}$
$\frac{\sqrt{3} \cot \theta+1}{\tan \theta+\sqrt{3}}=\frac{\sqrt3\times\frac{\cos\theta}{\sin\theta}+1}{\frac{\sin\theta}{\cos\theta}+\sqrt3}$
= $\frac{\cos\theta(\sqrt3\cos\theta+\sin\theta)}{\sin\theta(\sin\theta+\sqrt3\cos\theta)}$
= $\frac{\cos\theta}{\sin\theta}$
= $\frac{\sqrt{1-\sin^2\theta}}{\sin\theta}$ [As $\sin^2\theta+\cos^2\theta=1$]
= $\frac{\sqrt{1-(\frac ab)^2}}{\frac ab}$
= $\frac{\sqrt{b^2-a^2}}{a}$
Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{\sqrt{b^2-a^2}}{a}$.

Question : Directions: Each vowel in the word CAPSULE is changed to the previous letter in the English alphabetical series and each consonant is changed to the following letter in the English alphabetical series. In the newly formed word, how many alphabets are there in the English alphabetical series between the alphabet which is 3rd from the left and 3rd from the right?

Option 1: Three

Option 2: Four

Option 3: One

Option 4: Two

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Two


Solution : Given:
Each vowel in the word CAPSULE is changed to the previous letter in the English alphabetical series and each consonant is changed to the following letter in the English alphabetical series.

In the newly formed word, Q is 3rd from left and T is 3rd from right.

There are two letters between Q (which is 3rd from the left) and T (which is 3rd from the right) in the English alphabetical series. Hence, the fourth option is correct.

Question : Directions: In a certain code language, TELEVISION is written as UDMDWKQKMP and PUNISHMENT is written as QTOHTJKGLV. How will HELICOPTER be written in that language?

Option 1: IDMHDQCVNT

Option 2: IDMHQDVNCT

Option 3: IDMHDQNVCT

Option 4: IDMHDQVCNT

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: IDMHDQNVCT


Solution : Given: 
TELEVISION is coded as UDMDWKQKMP
PUNISHMENT is coded as QTOHTJKGLV

Add and subtract 1 alternatively from the place values of the first 5 letters, and add and subtract 2 alternatively from the place values of the remaining letters.
Like, TELEVISION ⇒ T + 1 = U; E – 1 = D; L + 1 = M; E – 1 = D; V + 1 = W; I + 2 = K; S – 2 = Q; I + 2 = K; O – 2 = M; N + 2 = P
Thus, TELEVISION is coded as UDMDWKQKMP.
And, PUNISHMENT ⇒ P + 1 = Q; U – 1 = T; N + 1 = O; I – 1 = H; S + 1 = T; H + 2 = J; M – 2 = K; E + 2 = G; N – 2 = L; T + 2 = V
Thus, PUNISHMENT is coded as QTOHTJKGLV.
Similarly, HELICOPTER ⇒ H + 1 = I; E – 1 = D; L + 1 = M; I – 1 = H; C + 1 = D; O + 2 = Q; P – 2 = N; T + 2 = V; E – 2 = C; R + 2 = T 

So, HELICOPTER is coded as IDMHDQNVCT. Hence, the third option is correct.

Question : Directions: Select the figure from among the given options that can replace the question mark (?) in the following series.

Option 1:

Option 2:

Option 3:

Option 4:

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer:


Solution : According to the given figures –
1. A figure at the centre rotates 90° in the anti-clockwise direction.
2. The letters are placed diagonally –
In Box 1, the letters M and N are placed diagonally in the southwest and northeast directions.
In Box 2, the letters are rotated in a clockwise direction and M and N are changed to N and O. After rotating clockwise the letters N and O are placed diagonally in the southeast and northwest directions.
In Box 3, the letters are rotated in a clockwise direction and N and O are changed to O and P. After rotating clockwise the letters O and P are placed diagonally in the northeast and southwest directions.
In Box 4, the letters are rotated in a clockwise direction and O and P are changed to P and Q. After rotating clockwise the letters P and Q are placed diagonally in the northwest and southeast directions.

So, following the above pattern, the required figure will be as follows –

Therefore, the figure in the first option is the required figure. Hence, the first option is correct.

Question : Directions: In the following question, the sentence given with a blank is to be filled in with an appropriate word. Select the correct alternative out of the four.
It is mainly due to Peter's lethargy that the plan fell__.

Option 1: off

Option 2: through

Option 3: in

Option 4: out

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: through


Solution : 'Fall off' means' to get detached', 'fall in' means 'to take a place in line or formation' and 'fall out' means 'to argue'.

Therefore, the first, third and fourth options do not fit in contextually and the second option is a correct fit for the sentence because the phrase 'fall through'  means 'failed/uncompleted' which contextually fits in the sentence.'

 Hence, the complete statement should be "It is mainly due to Peter's lethargy that the plan fell through."

Question : Directions: In a certain code language, CROW is coded as 6970 and ORCA is coded as 7569. What is the code for W in the given code language?

Option 1: 7

Option 2: 9

Option 3: 6

Option 4: 0

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 0


Solution : Given:
1. CROW ⇒ 6970
2. ORCA ⇒ 7569

By comparing the coded words, we find that –
In words 1 and 2, the common letters are C, R, and O, and the common codes are 6, 9, and 7.
The remaining letters and code in word 1 are W and 0 and in word 2 are A and 5.
Finally, W→0; A→5; C/R/O→6/9/7

So, the code for W is 0 in the code language. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
