Question : Select the most appropriate option that can substitute the underlined words in the given sentence.

No sooner did we arrived at the airport than we got onto our flight to Atlanta.

Option 1: did we arrive at

Option 2: can we arrive by

Option 3: have we arrived at

Option 4: had we arrive at

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: did we arrive at


Solution : The first option is the correct answer.

"No sooner did we arrive at" follows the correct inversion of the subject and auxiliary verb after the phrase, "no sooner". In English, when no sooner is used to indicate an action that happens immediately after another, the auxiliary verb and subject are inverted. So, did we arrived at should be replaced with "did we arrive at" as did is followed by the first form of the verb making the sentence grammatically correct.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: "No sooner did we arrive at the airport than we got onto our flight to Atlanta."

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 $45^{\circ}$.
