Question : In a 1 km linear race, P beats Q by 120 metres or 30 sec. What is the time taken by P to cover the race?

Option 1: 220 sec

Option 2: 250 sec

Option 3: 235 sec

Option 4: 240 sec

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 220 sec


Solution : P beats Q by 120 metres or 30 sec, which means Q covers 120 m in 30 sec.
Speed of Q = $\frac{120}{30}=4$ m/s
Time taken to cover 1000 m = $\frac{1000}{4} = 250$ sec
P beats Q by 30 seconds, which means P reached 30 seconds early.
Time taken by P to complete the race = 250 – 30 = 220 sec.
Hence, the correct answer is 220 sec.

Question : What is the name of that technique,which uses radioactivity to decide the period of materials of pre-historic period?

Option 1: Radium dating

Option 2: Uranium dating

Option 3: Carbon dating

Option 4: Deuterium dating

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Carbon dating


Solution : The correct option is Carbon dating.

The process of using radiation to establish the age of prehistoric items is known as "radiocarbon dating" or "carbon dating." This approach estimates the age of organic materials by using the decay of radioactive carbon isotopes. It specifically examines the decay of carbon-14 (14C) to determine how long the substance has been in a live body.

Question : ABCD is a trapezium with AD and BC parallel sides and E is a point on BC. The ratio of the area of ABCD to that of AED is:

Option 1: $\mathrm{\frac{AD}{BC}}$

Option 2: $\mathrm{\frac{BE}{EC}}$

Option 3: $\mathrm{\frac{AD+BE}{AD+CE}}$

Option 4: $\mathrm{\frac{AD+BC}{AD }}$

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\mathrm{\frac{AD+BC}{AD }}$


Solution :

The area of a trapezium,
$\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times (\text{sum of parallel sides}) \times \text{height}$
$\text{Area}_{ABCD} = \mathrm{\frac{1}{2} \times (AD + BC) \times EF}$
The area of triangle AED,
$\text{Area}_{AED} = \mathrm{\frac{1}{2} \times AD \times EF}$
The ratio of the area of ABCD to that of AED,
$\mathrm{\frac{\text{Area}_{ABCD}}{\text{Area}_{AED}} = \frac{\frac{1}{2} \times (AD + BC) \times EF}{ \frac{1}{2} \times AD \times EF} = \frac{AD + BC}{AD}}$
Hence, the correct answer is $ \mathrm{\frac{AD + BC}{AD}}$.

Question : Rubi goes to a multiplex at a speed of 3 km/h to see a movie and reaches 5 minutes late. If she travels at the speed of 4 km/h she reaches 5 minutes early, then the distance of the multiplex from her starting point is:

Option 1: 2 km

Option 2: 5 km

Option 3: 2 metres

Option 4: 5 metres

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 2 km


Solution : Let the distance be $x$ km.
According to the question,
Speed = $\frac{\text{Distance}}{\text {Time}}$ 
$\frac{x}{3}–\frac{x}{4}=\frac{5+5}{60}$
⇒ $x=2$
Hence, the correct answer is 2 km.

Question : The bar graph given below shows the percentage distribution of the total production of six different types of cars by a car manufacturing company over 2 years.


If 75% of the T-type cars produced each year were sold by the company, how many T-type cars remain unsold?

Option 1: 23500

Option 2: 22000

Option 3: 24125

Option 4: 25000

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 24125


Solution : According to the question, 75% of the T-type cars are sold.
Now, if 75% of the T-type cars produced each year were sold by the company, the number of T-type cars remain unsold
= 350000 $\times$ (90 – 75)% $\times$ (100 – 75)% $+$ 440000 $\times$ (95 – 85)% $\times$ (100 – 75)%
= 24125
Hence, the correct answer is 24125.

Question : If, $\frac{r}{13}+\frac{13}{r}=1$, then the value of $r^3$ is:

Option 1: –2157

Option 2: 2197

Option 3: 2157

Option 4: –2197

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: –2197


Solution : $\frac{r}{13}+\frac{13}{r}=1$
We know that if $x+\frac{1}{x} = 1$, then $x^3 = -1$
Let $\frac{r}{13} = x$
The equation becomes,
$x+\frac{1}{x} = 1$
⇒ $x^2-x+1=0$
$x^3+1^3=(x+1) (x^2-x+1)$
⇒ $x^3+1^3 =0$
⇒ $x^3 = -1$
⇒ $(\frac{r}{13})^3 = -1$
⇒ $r^3 = -2197$
Hence, the correct answer is –2197.
