Question : A shopkeeper sold an item at 10% loss after giving a discount equal to half the marked price. Then the cost price is:

Option 1: $\frac{1}{9}$th of the marked price

Option 2: $\frac{4}{9}$th of the marked price

Option 3: $\frac{5}{9}$th of the marked price

Option 4: $\frac{7}{9}$th of the marked price

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\frac{5}{9}$th of the marked price


Solution : Let the marked price = $p$ and the cost price = $q$
According to the question,
∴ 50% of $p$ = 90% of $q$
⇒ $\frac{p×50}{100}=\frac{q×90}{100}$
∴ $q=\frac{5}{9}p$
So, the cost price is $\frac{5}{9}$th of the marked price.
Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{5}{9}$th of the marked price.

Question : Directions: In the following question, a sentence is given with a blank that is to be filled in with an appropriate word. Four alternatives are suggested; choose the correct alternative out of them as your answer.

Our flight was _____from Jaipur to Agra airport.

Option 1: Shifted

Option 2: diverted

Option 3: reverted

Option 4: deflected

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: diverted


Solution : The correct word to fill in the blank is the second option.

It means to change the direction or route of something. In the context of the sentence, "diverted" is the most suitable choice because it accurately conveys the idea that the flight's route was changed from its original destination (Jaipur) to Agra airport.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

Shifted: It means moving or transferring something from one place to another.

Reverted: It means returning to a previous state or condition.

Deflected: It means changing the direction of something by turning it aside.

Therefore, the correct sentence is, "Our flight was diverted from Jaipur to Agra airport."

Question : The least number which should be added to 8961 to make it exactly divisible by 84 is:

Option 1: 27

Option 2: 57

Option 3: 141

Option 4: 107

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 27


Solution : When 8961 is divided by 84, the quotient is 106, and the remainder is 57.
The required number which should be added = Divisor $-$ remainder
= 84 $-$ 57 = 27
Hence, the correct answer is 27.

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."

Hence, the second option is correct.

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).
