Option 2: GS

Option 3: GT

Option 4: GW

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: GW


Solution : Given:
DP, EY, FJ, ?

First letter of the series→D + 1 = E; E + 1 = F; F + 1 = G
Second letter of the series→P + 9 = Y; Y + 11 = J; J + 13 = W

So, GW is the missing term. Hence, the fourth option is correct.

Question : If $\frac{1}{a}–\frac{1}{b}=\frac{1}{a–b}$, then the value of $a^{3}+b^{3}$ is:

Option 1: 0

Option 2: –1

Option 3: 1

Option 4: 2

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 0


Solution : Given: $\frac{1}{a}–\frac{1}{b}=\frac{1}{a–b}$
⇒ $\frac{b–a}{ab}=\frac{1}{a–b}$
⇒ $(b–a)(a–b)=ab$
⇒ $(a–b)^{2}=–ab$
⇒ $a^{2}+b^{2}–2ab=–ab$
⇒ $a^{2}+b^{2}=ab$
⇒ $a^{2}+b^{2}-ab=0$
We know $a^3+b^3=(a+b)(a^2+b^2-ab)$
So, $a^3+b^3=0$
Hence, the correct answer is $0$.

Question : DE is tangent to the circumcircle of $\triangle$ABC at the vertex A such that $DE \parallel BC$. If AB = 17 cm, then the length of AC is equal to:

Option 1: 16 cm

Option 2: 16.8 cm

Option 3: 17.3 cm

Option 4: 17 cm

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 17 cm


Solution :
Given: DE || BC and AB = 17 cm.
From the alternate segment theorem, we get $\angle$DAB = $\angle$ACB
Also, $\angle$DAB = $\angle$ABC (Alternate angle)
So, $\angle$ACB = $\angle$ABC
⇒ AB = AC = 17 cm
Hence, the correct answer is 17 cm.

K 900 500
L 700 400
M 400 300

Option 1: 16.67 percent

Option 2: 9.09 percent

Option 3: 10.56 percent

Option 4: 13.79 percent

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 13.79 percent


Solution : The total expenditure of all the companies = 200 + 500 + 400 + 300 + 1100 = 2500
Total savings of all the companies = 400 + 900 + 700 + 400 + 500 = 2900
Required percentage = $\frac{2900-2500}{2900}\times 100=13.79\%$
Hence, the correct answer is 13.79 percent.
