Question : Directions: In a certain code language, DAME is coded as 2976, TIME is coded as 9254, SAPE is coded as 8369, and MOST is coded as 1523. What is the code for ATP in that code language?

Option 1: 851

Option 2: 658

Option 3: 651

Option 4: 869

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 658


Solution : Given:
1. DAME is coded as 2976
2. TIME is coded as 9254
3. SAPE is coded as 8369
4. MOST is coded as 1523

After comparing each letter of the word and numbers, we get –
In words 1, 2 and 4, M and 2 are common.
In words 1, 2 and 3, E and 9 are common.
In words 1 and 3, A and 6 are common.
In words 3 and 4, S and 3 are common.
In words 2 and 4, T and 5 are common.
The remaining words and code in word 1 are D and 7; in word 2 are I and 4; in word 3 are P and 8; in word 4 are O and 1.
Finally, M ⇒ 2; E ⇒ 9; A ⇒ 6; S ⇒ 3; T ⇒ 5; D ⇒ 7; I ⇒ 4; P ⇒ 8; O ⇒ 1

So, the code for ATP will be 658. Hence, the second option is correct.

Question : Divide INR 1488 among X, Y, and Z. If the shares are in the ratio X : Y = 4 : 5 and Y : Z = 7 : 6, then find out the share of Z.

Option 1: INR 460

Option 2: INR 450

Option 3: INR 470

Option 4: INR 480

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: INR 480


Solution : INR 1488 is divided among X, Y, and Z.
⇒ X + Y + Z = 1488 .......(1)
Given, X : Y = 4 : 5 and Y : Z = 7 : 6
⇒ X = $\frac{4}{5}$Y and Y = $\frac{7}{6}$Z
⇒ X = $\frac{4}{5}\times \frac{7}{6}$Z = $\frac{14}{15}$Z
Putting in (1), we get,
$\frac{14}{15}$Z + $\frac{7}{6}$Z + Z = 1488
⇒ $\frac{1}{30}$(28Z + 35Z + 30Z) = 1488
⇒ 93Z = 44640
⇒ Z = 480
Hence, the correct answer is INR 480.

Option 3: GT

Option 4: GW

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 $0$.
