Question : X is directly proportional to the square of Y. When X is 12, then Y is 2. Find the value of X when Y is 3.

Option 1: 30

Option 2: 9

Option 3: 27

Option 4: 18

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 27


Solution : $X\propto Y^2⇒ X = kY^2$
⇒ $\frac{\mathrm{X{_1}}}{\mathrm{Y^2{_1}}} = \frac{\mathrm{X{_2}}}{\mathrm{Y^2{_2}}} $
⇒ $\frac{12}{2^2} = \frac{\mathrm{X{_2}}}{3^2}$
⇒ $\mathrm{X{_2}} = \frac{12}{4}\times 9$
⇒ $\mathrm{X{_2}} = 27$
Hence, the correct answer is 27.

Question : What is the LCM of 120 and 450?

Option 1: 2400

Option 2: 1800

Option 3: 3600

Option 4: 4800

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 1800


Solution : 120 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 5
450 = 2 × 3 × 3 × 5 × 5
LCM of 120 and 450 is (2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 5 × 5) = 1800
i.e. 1800 is the least common multiple of 120 and 450.
Hence, the correct answer is 1800.

Question : Select the most appropriate option to improve the underlined segment in the given sentence. If there is no need to improve it, select 'No improvement'.

The place was not cold only and also damp.

Option 1: No improvement

Option 2: only cold not also

Option 3: not only cold but also

Option 4: not only cold and both

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: not only cold but also


Solution : The correct choice is the third option.

Explanation: The original sentence, "The place was not cold only and also damp," is grammatically incorrect. We would use the correlative conjunctions "not only...but also" to link two similar ideas ("cold" and "damp"). This structure helps to emphasise both qualities of the place.

Therefore, the revised sentence is: "The place was not only cold but also damp."

Question : In $\triangle PQR, PQ=QR$ and $O$ is an interior point of $\triangle PQR$ such that $\angle OPR=\angle ORP$.
Consider the following statements:
(i) $\triangle POR$ is an isosceles triangle.
(ii) $O$ is the centroid of $\triangle PQR$.
(iii) $\triangle PQO$ is congruent to $\triangle RQO$.
Which of the above statements is/are correct?

Option 1: Only (i) and (ii)

Option 2: Only (i) and (iii)

Option 3: Only (ii) and (iii)

Option 4: Only (ii)

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Only (i) and (iii)


Solution :
Given: In $\triangle PQR, PQ=QR$ and $O$ is an interior point of $\triangle PQR$ such that $\angle OPR=\angle ORP$.
Since $PQ = QR$, so $\triangle PQR$ is an isosceles triangle.
From the given data we cannot say that $O$ is the centroid of the $\triangle PQR$.
Also, $PQ=QR, OP=OR$ and $OQ=OQ$
So, $\triangle PQO$ and $\triangle RQO$ are congruent.
Hence, the correct answer is Only (i) and (iii).

Question : Direction: Study the following bar diagram carefully and answer the question. The bar graph given below shows the foreign exchange reserves of a country (in million US dollars) from 1991– 1992 to 1998– 1999.

The percentage increase in the foreign exchange reserves in 1997– 98 over 1993– 94 is:

Option 1: 100%

Option 2: 150%

Option 3: 200%

Option 4: 120%

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 100%


Solution : The foreign exchange reserves in 1997–1998 were $5040$ million, as seen in the bar graph.
2520 million was the amount of foreign exchange reserves in 1993–94.
Change in the number of reserves = $5040 - 2520= 2520$
Percentage increase = $\frac{\text{Difference}}{\text{The foreign exchange reserves in 1993–1994}} \times 100$.
= $\frac{2520}{2520}\times 100=100$%
Hence, the correct answer is 100%.

Question : Select the most appropriate alternative to replace the underlined segment in the given sentence.
They met yesterday, haven’t they?

Option 1: don’t they?

Option 2: isn’t it?

Option 3: didn’t they?

Option 4: did they?

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: didn’t they?


Solution : The third option is the correct answer.

The sentence is a statement followed by a question tag. In English, when the main clause is in the past tense, the tag question should also be in the past tense. So, "didn't they?" is the correct form.

A question tag is a very short clause at the end of a statement that changes the statement into a question. A question tag is formed by inverting the subject and verb of a statement.

Therefore, the correct sentence should be: "They met yesterday, didn't they?"

Option 1: A member of Lok Sabha

Option 2: A member of Rajya Sabha

Option 3: A member of either House

Option 4: Not a member of the Parliament

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Not a member of the Parliament


Solution : The correct option is Not a member of the Parliament.

The Vice-President of India is not a member of either house of Parliament.

Instead, the Vice-President's primary responsibility is to preside over the Rajya Sabha and undertake other constitutionally mandated duties. The Vice-President is chosen by an electoral college comprised of members of both houses of Parliament, as well as representatives of state and union territory legislatures. Once elected, the Vice-President's major role is to serve as the Rajya Sabha's ex-officio Chairman.
