Question : In $\triangle ABC$, right angled at B, if $\tan A=\frac{1}{2}$, then the value of $\frac{\sin A(\cos C+\cos A)}{\cos C(\sin C-\sin A)}$ is:

Option 1: $2$

Option 2: $1$

Option 3: $3$

Option 4: $2\sqrt5$

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $3$


Solution :
$\tan A=\frac{1}{2}$
$⇒\frac{BC}{AB}=\frac{1}{2}$
Let $BC=x$ units, then $AB=2x$ units
Using Pythagoras theorem,
$⇒AC^2=AB^2+BC^2$
$⇒AC^2=x^2+(2x)^2$
$⇒AC^2=5x^2$
$⇒AC =x\sqrt5 $ units
Now, we have $\triangle ABC$ right-angled at B, with $\tan A=\frac{1}{2}$, and we've found that $BC=x$, $AB=2x$, and $AC=x\sqrt{5}$.
$⇒\sin A = \frac{BC}{AC} = \frac{x}{x\sqrt{5}} =

Question : Directions: Study the following bar graph carefully and answer the question.

Total enrolments in both State University and Central University during the years 1980, 1990, and 2000 are:

Option 1: 80,000

Option 2: 66,000

Option 3: 70,000

Option 4: 76,000

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 70,000


Solution : As per the given graph:
The number of students enrolled at State and Central Universities in 1980 = 8000 + 10000 = 18000
The number of students enrolled at State and Central Universities in 1990 = 14000 + 12000 = 26000
The number of students

Question : In a circle, a diameter AB and a chord PQ (which is not a diameter) intersect each other at X perpendicularly. If AX : BX = 3 : 2 and the radius of the circle is 5 cm, then the length of the chord PQ is:

Option 1: $2\sqrt{13}\;\mathrm{cm}$

Option 2: $5\sqrt{3}\;\mathrm{cm}$

Option 3: $4\sqrt{6}\;\mathrm{cm}$ 

Option 4: $6\sqrt{5}\;\mathrm{cm}$

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $4\sqrt{6}\;\mathrm{cm}$ 


Solution :

We have, $\mathrm{AX:BX = 3:2}$ and the radius of the circle is $5\;\mathrm{cm}$.
$\mathrm{AX=\frac{3}{5} \times 10 = 6}\;\mathrm{cm}$ 
$\mathrm{BX=\frac{2}{5} \times 10 = 4}\;\mathrm{cm}$ 
We know the theorem states that the two chords of a circle intersect within the circle, the product of the segments of

Question : Directions: 14 notebooks of a class were corrected with ink pen while 22 notebooks were corrected with colour pencil. If 4 notebooks were corrected with both, what is the strength of the class?

Option 1: 30

Option 2: 32

Option 3: 28

Option 4: 25

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 32


Solution : Given:
Notebooks corrected with ink pen = 14
Notebooks corrected with colour pencil = 22
Notebooks corrected with both = 4

So, the total number of students in class = 14 + 22 – 4 = 32

Hence, the second option is correct.

Question : 15 men complete a work in 10 days. 15 women complete the same work in 12 days. If all these men and women work together, then the number of days required to complete that work is:

Option 1: $5\frac{5}{11}$

Option 2: $4\frac{3}{11}$

Option 3: $7\frac{2}{11}$

Option 4: $6\frac{4}{11}$

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $5\frac{5}{11}$


Solution : Time taken by 15 men to complete the work = 10 days
⇒ Part of work done by 15 men in a day = $\frac{1}{10}$
Time taken by 15 women to complete the work = 12 days
⇒ Part of work done by 15 women
