Question : What is the third proportional to 12 and $6 \sqrt{5}$?

Option 1: 12

Option 2: 15

Option 3: 18

Option 4: 21

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 15


Solution : Third proportional to $a, b$ = $\frac{b^2}{a}$
Third proportional to 12 and $6 \sqrt{5}$
= $\frac{(6 \sqrt{5})^2}{12}$
= $\frac{36×5}{12}$
= $15$
Hence, the correct answer is 15.

Question : Jaws are absent in:

Option 1: Birfds

Option 2: Fishes

Option 3: Protochordates

Option 4: Reptiles

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Protochordates


Solution : The Correct Answer is Protochordates

Protochordata and cyclostomata lack jaws. The invertebrate subphylum of the chordata phylum is referred to as protochordata. It contains creatures like tunicates.  Cyclostomata are a subclass of group agnatha that lack jaws, girdles, and paired appendages.  Hagfish and lampreys are the two types of fish without jaws. Hagfish typically consume dead or dying fish as food.

Question : If in a $\triangle ABC$, as drawn in the figure, $AB = AC$ and $\angle ACD = 120^{\circ}$, then angle A is equal to:

Option 1: $50^{\circ}$

Option 2: $60^{\circ}$

Option 3: $70^{\circ}$

Option 4: $80^{\circ}$

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $60^{\circ}$


Solution :
Given that $AB = AC$ in $\triangle ABC$.
This is an isosceles triangle, such that $\angle BAC = \angle ABC$.
We have, $\angle ACD = 120^\circ$
$\therefore \angle ACB = 180^\circ - 120^\circ = 60^\circ$
Since the sum of angles in a triangle is $180^\circ$.
⇒ $\angle BAC + \angle ABC + \angle ACB = 180^\circ$
⇒ $2\angle BAC + 60^\circ = 180^\circ$
$\therefore\angle BAC = \frac{180^\circ - 60^\circ}{2} = 60^\circ$
Hence, the correct answer is $60^\circ$.

Question : ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral, AB is the diameter of the circle. If angle $\angle ACD=45^{\circ}$, then what is the value of $\angle BAD$?

Option 1: $90^{\circ}$

Option 2: $45^{\circ}$

Option 3: $135^{\circ}$

Option 4: $35^{\circ}$

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $45^{\circ}$


Solution :

Since, an angle subtended by the diameter of a circle at the circumference = $90^{\circ}$
⇒ $\angle$ ACB = $90^{\circ}$
$\angle$ BCD = $\angle$ ACD + $\angle$ ACB = $45^{\circ} + 90^{\circ}=135^{\circ}$
Since the opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral are supplementary,
$\angle$ BCD + $\angle$ BAD = $180^{\circ}$
$\therefore \angle$ BAD = $180^{\circ} - 135^{\circ}=45^{\circ}$
Hence, the correct answer is $45^{\circ}$.

Question : Direct conversion of solar energy with the use of a photo voltaic cell results in the production of

Option 1: Optical energy

Option 2: Electrical energy

Option 3: Thermal energy

Option 4: Mechanial energy

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Electrical energy


Solution : The correct option is electrical energy.

The photovoltaic effect is a mechanism used by photovoltaic cells, also referred to as solar cells, to transform light energy from the sun directly into electrical energy. When photons, the light particles hit a solar cell's surface, their energy is transferred to the material's electrons, causing this effect.  These electrons get activated by the energy of the photons, which causes them to flow as an electric current. The generated current can then be harnessed and used to power electrical equipment, or it can be stored in batteries for later use.
