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:
I. All books are pencils.
II. Some pencils are pens.
III. All pens are erasers.
Conclusions:
I. Some erasers are pencils.
II. All pens are books.
III. Some erasers are pens.

Option 1: Only conclusions I and II follow

Option 2: Only conclusions II and III follow

Option 3: Only conclusions I and III follow

Option 4: All conclusions follow

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Only conclusions I and III follow


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


Let's analyse the conclusions –
Conclusion I: Some erasers are pencils – In the Venn diagram, it is clear that the circles that represent erasers and pencils intersect and have a part of their area in common. So, some erasers are pencils is a true conclusion.
Conclusion II: All pens are books – In the Venn diagram, it is clear that there is no definite relation between pens and books. Therefore, this conclusion does not follow.
Conclusion III: Some erasers are pens – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that some parts of the circle representing erasers lie outside the circle representing pens while some lie inside. So, it can be concluded that some erasers are pens.

​​​​So, the only conclusions I and III follow. Hence, the third option is correct.

Question : Directions: Which of the following letter clusters can replace the question mark (?) in the given series to make it logically complete?
DNU, ?, NXE, SCJ, XHO

Option 1: GQW

Option 2: GPV

Option 3: HRY

Option 4: ISZ

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: ISZ


Solution : Given:
DNU, ?, NXE, SCJ, XHO

In the above-given series, add 5 to the place value of each letter of the previous term to get the next term.
First letter of the series→D + 5 = I; I + 5 = N; N + 5 = S; S + 5 = X
Second letter of the series→N + 5 = S; S + 5 = X; X + 5 = C; C + 5 = H
Third letter of the series→U + 5 = Z; Z + 5 = E; E + 5 = J; J + 5 = O

So, ISZ is the missing term of the series. Hence, the fourth option is correct.

Question : What is the process of melting also called?

Option 1: Fusion

Option 2: Galvanisation

Option 3: Crystallisation

Option 4: Evaporation

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Fusion


Solution : The correct option is Fusion.

The melting process is also known as "fusion". Melting, also known as fusion, is the phase transition in which a solid substance becomes a liquid owing to a rise in temperature. During melting, the particles absorb enough heat energy to overcome the forces keeping them together, allowing them to move more freely and transform into a liquid. For example, fusion or melting occurs when a solid ice cube turns into liquid water when it absorbs heat.

Question : The nearest number which is greater than 87501, and is completely divisible by 765 is:

Option 1: 88975

Option 2: 87975

Option 3: 87966

Option 4: 87775

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 87975


Solution : If we divide 87501 by 765, we will get a remainder of 291.
So, the number greater than 87501 and divisible by 765 = 87501 – 291 + 765 = 87975
Hence, the correct answer is 87975.

Question : Rajnish borrowed INR 1,500 from a bank and repaid the entire amount with interest in two equal annual instalments, the first instalment being paid a year after Rajnish borrowed from the bank. If the rate of interest was 40% per annum, compounded annually, then what was the value (in INR) of each instalment paid by Rajnish?

Option 1: 1125

Option 2: 1470

Option 3: 1225

Option 4: 1350

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 1225


Solution : Let the two equal instalments be $P_1$ and $P_2$
Given: $P_1 + P_2 = 1500$ and rate of interest $(R)= 40 \%$
Since annual instalments are equal,
So, $P_1(1+\frac{R}{100})=P_2(1+\frac{R}{100})(1+\frac{R}{100})$
⇒ $\frac{P_1}{P_2}=1+\frac{R}{100}=1+\frac{40}{100}=1+\frac{2}{5}=\frac{7}{5}$
⇒ $P_2 = \frac{5P_1}{7}$
Now, $P_1 + P_2 = 1500$
⇒ $P_1+\frac{5P_1}{7}= 1500$
⇒ $\frac{12P_1}{7}= 1500$
⇒ $P_1 = \frac{1500×7}{12}=875$
Installments = $P_1(1+\frac{R}{100})=875(1+\frac{40}{100})=875×\frac{7}{5}=1225$
Hence, the correct answer is 1225.

Question : Directions: Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as the numbers of the given sets.
(NOTE: Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into their constituent digits. E.g. 13 – operations on 13 such as adding/subtracting/multiplying etc. to 13 can be performed. Breaking down 13 into 1 and 3 and then performing mathematical operations on 1 and 3 is NOT allowed.)
(14, 378, 9)
(18, 432, 8)

Option 1: (5, 125, 8)

Option 2: (15, 405, 9)

Option 3: (15, 305, 7)

Option 4: (11, 265, 8)

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: (15, 405, 9)


Solution : Given:
(14, 378, 9); (18, 432, 8)

In the given set of numbers, multiply the first and third numbers by 3 to get the second number.
(14, 378, 9)→14 × 9 × 3 = 378
(18, 432, 8)→18 × 8 × 3 = 432
Let's check the options –
First option: (5, 125, 8)→5 × 8 × 3 = 120 ≠ 125
Second option: (15, 405, 9)→15 × 9 × 3 = 405
Third option: (15, 305, 7)→15 × 7 × 3 = 315 ≠ 305
Fourth option: (11, 265, 8)→11 × 8 × 3 = 264 ≠ 265

So, only the second option follows the same pattern as followed by the given set of numbers. Hence, the second option is correct.
