Question : What is the value of $14^{3}+16^{3}+18^{3}+...+30^{3}$?

Option 1: 134576

Option 2: 120212

Option 3: 115624

Option 4: 111672

Team Careers360 16th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 111672


Solution : Given:
$14^{3}+16^{3}+18^{3}+.....+30^{3}$
$= 2^{3}\times7^{3}+2^{3}\times8^{3}+2^{3}\times9^{3}+.....+2^{3}\times15^{3}$
$= 2^{3}(7^{3}+8^{3}+9^{3}+.....+15^{3})$
$= 2^{3}[(1^{3}+2^{3}+3^{3}+4^{3}+....+15^{3})-(1^{3}+2^{3}+3^{3}+4^{3}+5^{3}+6^{3})]$
The sum of cubes of $n$ natural numbers$ =\left[\frac{n(n+1)}{2}\right]^2$
For $n = 6$, we have
$1^{3}+2^{3}+3^{3}+4^{3}+5^{3}+6^{3}=\left[\frac{6(6+1)}{2}\right]^2 = \left[\frac{42}{2}\right]^2 = (21)^{2} =$ 441
For $n = 15$, we have
$1^{3}+2^{3}+3^{3}+4^{3}+....+15^{3}=\left[\frac{15(15+1)}{2}\right]^2 = \left[\frac{240}{2}\right]^2 = (120)^{2} =$ 14400
Now, $2^{3}[(1^{3}+2^{3}+3^{3}+4^{3}+....+15^{3})-(1^{3}+2^{3}+3^{3}+4^{3}+5^{3}+6^{3})]$

Question : If $p^2+q^2=7pq$, then the value of $\frac{p}{q}+\frac{q}{p}$ is equal to:

Option 1: 9

Option 2: 5

Option 3: 7

Option 4: 3

Team Careers360 11th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 7


Solution : Given: $p^2+q^2=7pq$
Divide the above equation by $pq$ on both sides, we get,
⇒ $\frac{p^2+q^2}{pq}=\frac{7pq}{pq}$
⇒ $\frac{p}{q}+\frac{q}{p}=7$
Hence, the correct answer is 7.

Question : If $x \sin 45° = y\operatorname{cosec} 30°$, then $\frac{x^4}{y^4}$ is equal to:

Option 1: $4^3$

Option 2: $6^3$

Option 3: $2^3$

Option 4: $8^3$

Team Careers360 19th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $4^3$


Solution : Given: If $x \sin \ 45° = y \operatorname{cosec} 30°$.
$⇒\frac{x}{y} = \frac{\operatorname{cosec}30°}{\sin 45°}$
Substitute the values of the given trigonometric ratios, we get,
$⇒\frac{x}{y} = \frac{2}{\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}}$
$⇒\frac{x}{y} = (2\sqrt{2})$
On both sides of the above equation, taking the fourth power gives us,
$⇒\frac{x^{4}}{y^{4}} =

Question : Two donkeys are standing 400 metres apart. The first donkey can run at a speed of 3 m/sec and the second can run at 2 m/sec. If two donkeys run towards each other, after how much time (in seconds) will they bump into each other?

Option 1: 60

Option 2: 80

Option 3: 400

Option 4: 40

Team Careers360 12th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 80


Solution : Here the distance between two donkeys = 400 metres.
Speed of the first donkey = 3 m/sec.
Speed of the second donkey = 2 m/sec.
If both running in opposite directions relative speed = (3 + 2) = 5 m/sec.
So, the time taken to

Question : A unit price elastic demand curve will touch 

Option 1: Both price and quantity axis .

Option 2: Neither price axis , nor quantity axis.

Option 3: Only price axis .

Option 4: Only quantity axis .

Team Careers360 24th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Neither price axis , nor quantity axis.


Solution : The correct option is Neither price axis, nor quantity axis.

The price (vertical axis) or quantity (horizontal axis) axis will never be touched by a unit price elastic demand curve during its entire length. This implies that if a
