Question : If the simple interest at the same rate of interest on INR 500 for 4 years and INR 700 for 2 years combined, is INR 280, then what is the rate of interest?

Option 1: $9 \frac{3}{17}\%$

Option 2: $6 \frac{5}{17}\%$

Option 3: $8 \frac{4}{17}\%$

Option 4: $7 \frac{3}{17}\%$

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $8 \frac{4}{17}\%$


Solution : P = INR 500 and INR 700
T = 4 years and 2 years 
R = same for both 
According to the question,
$280 = \frac{\text{500×R×4}}{100}$+$\frac{\text{700×R×2}}{100}$
⇒ $280 = \frac{\text{2000R}}{100}$+$\frac{\text{1400R}}{100}$
⇒ $ 280 = \frac{\text{3400R}}{100}$
⇒ $R = \frac{280}{34} = 8\frac{4}{17}$
Hence, the correct

Question : The centroid of an equilateral triangle PQR is L. If PQ = 6 cm, the length of PL is :

Option 1: $4 \sqrt{3} \mathrm{~cm}$

Option 2: $3\sqrt{3} \mathrm{~cm}$

Option 3: $2\sqrt{3} \mathrm{~cm}$

Option 4: $5\sqrt{3} \mathrm{~cm}$

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $2\sqrt{3} \mathrm{~cm}$


Solution :
PQ = 6 cm
The centroid divides the median in the ratio 2 : 1.
Since all the centres lie at the same point L, PL is also the circumradius of Equilateral Triangle PQR.
We know, Circumradius of an equilateral triangle = $\frac{\text{Side of

Question : ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral and BC is the diameter of the related circle on which A and D also lie. $\angle \mathrm{BCA}=19°$ and $\angle \mathrm{CAD}=32°$. What is the measure of $\angle \mathrm{ACD}$?

Option 1: 41°

Option 2: 38°

Option 3: 40°

Option 4: 39°

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 39°


Solution :
Given,
$\angle{CAD}=32°$ and $\angle{BCA}=19°$
We know, that the angle formed by the diameter is 90°.
⇒ $\angle{BAC}=90°$
The sum of the opposite angle of a quadrilateral = 180°.
⇒ $\angle{CAD}+\angle{BAC}+\angle{BCA}+\angle{ACD}=180°$
⇒ $32°+90°+19°+\angle{ACD}=180°$
⇒ $141°+\angle{ACD}=180°$
⇒ $\angle{ACD}=180°-141°$
⇒ $\angle{ACD}=39°$
Hence, the correct answer is 39°.
