Question : 20 students of a college went to a hotel. 19 of them spent INR 175 each on their meal and the 20th student spent INR 19 more than the average of all the 20. Find the total money spent by them.

Option 1: INR 3,490

Option 2: INR 3,540

Option 3: INR 3,520

Option 4: INR 3,500

Team Careers360 13th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: INR 3,520


Solution : Given:
19 of them spent INR 175 each on their meal.
Let the 20th one spend INR $x$.
We know that Average = $\frac{\text{Total money spent}}{\text{Total number of students}}$
According to the question,
$x=\frac{19×175+x}{20}+19$
⇒ $x=\frac{3325+x}{20}+19$
⇒ $x=\frac{3325+x+380}{20}$
⇒ $x=\frac{3325+x+380}{20}$
⇒ $19x=3705$
$\therefore x=195$

Question : Sentences of a paragraph are given below in jumbled order. Arrange the sentences in the correct order to form a meaningful and coherent paragraph.
A. It was the night before the day fixed for his coronation, and the young King was sitting alone in his beautiful chamber.
B. And, indeed, it was the hunters who had found him, coming upon him almost by chance as, bare-limbed and pipe in hand, he was following the flock of the poor goat herd who had brought him up, and whose son he had always fancied himself to be.
C. The lad—for he was only a lad, being but sixteen years of age not sorry at their departure, and had flung himself back with a deep sigh of relief on the soft cushions of his embroidered couch, lying there, wild-eyed and open-mouthed, like a brown woodland Faun, or some young animal of the forest newly snared by the hunters.
D. His courtiers had all taken their leave of him, bowing their heads to the ground, according to the ceremonious usage of the day, and had retired to the Great Hall of the Palace, to receive a few last lessons from the Professor of Etiquette; there being some of them who had still quite natural manners, which in a courtier is, I need hardly say, a very grave offence.

Option 1: ADCB

Option 2: CBDA

Option 3: ACDB

Option 4: CDBA

Team Careers360 13th Jan, 2024

Question : If the angles of a triangle are (x – 46)°, (x + 96)°, and 8x°, then what is the value of 2x?

Option 1: 15°

Option 2: 24°

Option 3: 26°

Option 4: 13°

Team Careers360 16th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 26°


Solution : All internal angles of a triangle add up to 180°.
$(x - 46)° + (x + 96)° + 8x° = 180$
$⇒ 10x + 50° = 180°$
$⇒ 10x = 130°$
$⇒ x = 13°$
$\therefore 2x = 26°$
Hence, the correct answer is 26°.

Question : The value of $x$ for which the expressions $15x+4$ and $13x-2$ become equal is:

Option 1: –1

Option 2: 1

Option 3: –3

Option 4: 3

Team Careers360 21st Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: –3


Solution : Given: Value of $x$ for $15x+4=13x-2$.
⇒ $15x-13x=-2-4$
⇒ $2x=-6$
⇒ $x=\frac{-6}{2}$
⇒ $x=-3$
Hence, the correct answer is –3.

Question : In a triangle, if three altitudes are equal, then the triangle is:

Option 1: obtuse

Option 2: equilateral

Option 3: right-angled

Option 4: Isosceles

Team Careers360 12th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: equilateral


Solution :
AD, BE and CF are the altitudes drawn on sides BC, CA and AB of $\triangle$ABC such that AD = BE = CF.
Since area of triangle = $\frac{1}{2}$ × base × corresponding altitude,
Area of $\triangle$ABC = $\frac{1}{2}$ × BC × AD = $\frac{1}{2}$
