Question : Which of the following is correct?

Option 1: 23<35<1115

Option 2: 35<23<1115

Option 3: 1115<35<23

Option 4: 35<1115<23

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 35<23<1115


Solution : Given: The numbers are 23,35,1115.
To find the greatest fraction, we have to find the LCM of denominators.
LCM of denominators = LCM (3,5,15)=(3×5)=15
We have to make all denominators the same for comparison,
23×55=1015
35×33=915
1115×11=1115
Now, by comparing numerators (9<10<11).
So, we can say 35<23<1115.
Hence, the correct answer is 35<23<1115.

If a customer purchases an article worth Rs. 10000 using a credit card, then how much is he/she required to pay?

Option 1: Rs. 8835

Option 2: Rs. 9000

Option 3: Rs. 8815

Option 4: Rs. 9300

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Rs. 8835


Solution : The customer purchases an article worth Rs. 10000 using a credit card.
After a flat discount of Rs. 500 the price of the article
= (10000 – 500)
= Rs. 9500
After a further discount of 7%, the price of the article becomes,
= 9500×(1007100)
= Rs. 8835
Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 8835.

Question : Select the correct active form of the given sentence.

Luckily, the machinery was not used by them.

Option 1: Luckily, they had not used the machinery.

Option 2: Luckily, they did not use the machinery.

Option 3: Luckily, they have not used the machinery.

Option 4: Luckily, I did not used the machinery.

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Luckily, they did not use the machinery.


Solution : The second option is the correct choice.

Active voice is the voice where the subject performs the action. To convert a sentence from passive to active voice, we identify the subject performing the action and rephrase the sentence accordingly.

The structure of the negative sentence in the active voice in the case of simple past tense is: "Adverb + subject + did not + base form of the verb + object."

Therefore, the active sentence is: Luckily, they did not use the machinery.

Question : Directions: In the following question below are given some statements followed by some conclusions based on those statements. Taking the given statements to be true even if they seem to be at variance from commonly known facts. Read all the conclusions and then decide which of the given conclusions logically follows the given statements.
Statements:
All W is L.
All L is M.
Conclusions:
I. No L is W.
II. No M is L.
III. No M is W.

Option 1: Only conclusion II follows

Option 2: Only conclusion I follows

Option 3: All conclusions follow

Option 4: None of the conclusions follow

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: None of the conclusions follow


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

Let's analyse the conclusions –
Conclusion (I): No L is W – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that some parts of the circle representing L lie outside the circle representing W while some lie inside. So, from this, it can be concluded that some L is W. Therefore, this conclusion does not follow.
Conclusion (II): No M is L – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that some parts of the circle representing M lie outside the circle representing L while some lie inside. So, from this, it can be concluded that some M is L. Therefore, this conclusion does not follow.
Conclusion (III): No M is W – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that some parts of the circle representing M lie outside the circle representing W while some lie inside. So, from this, it can be concluded that some M is W. Therefore, this conclusion does not follow.

So, none of the conclusions follow. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
