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
N 500 1100

The total expenditure of all the companies is how much percent less than the total savings?

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.

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer:


Solution : As per the mirror image properties, closer things appear closer to the mirror in the reflection.
So, according to the above property and the information provided, the mirror is placed on the right side of the figure (on line MN). So, the left side of the reflected image will appear as the right side and the right side will appear as the left side. However, the top and bottom of the reflected image will remain the same.

Thus, the correct mirror image of the given figure will be –

Hence, the third option is correct.

Question : A trader allows a 40% discount on his goods, but he loses 30% on them. Find the percentage of the marked price above the cost price.

Option 1: $15\frac{2}{3}\%$

Option 2: $15 \frac{1}{3} \%$

Option 3: $16 \frac{2}{3} \%$

Option 4: $16 \frac{1}{3} \%$

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $16 \frac{2}{3} \%$


Solution : Let the marked price (MP) be 100$x$
After a discount of 40%, the selling price = 60$x$
When a loss of 30% then, $\frac{70}{100}$ of cost price (CP) = 60$x$
⇒ CP = $\frac{600x}{7}$
Difference in MP and CP = 100$x$ – $\frac{600x}{7}$
= $\frac{100x}{7}$
Mark up% = $\frac{\text{Mark up value}}{\text{CP}}$ × 100
= $\frac{\frac{100x}{7}}{\frac{600x}{7}}$ × 100
= $\frac{100}{6}$
= $16\frac{2}{3}\%$
Hence, the correct answer is $16\frac{2}{3}\%$.

Question : Directions: Select the option in which the letter clusters share the same relationship as that shared by the given pair of letter clusters.
XFI : CKN
PFS : UKX

Option 1: JPW : OLD

Option 2: DOP : IJU

Option 3: HPS : MUX

Option 4: TOM : YLN

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: HPS : MUX


Solution : Given:
XFI : CKN
PFS : UKX

Add 5 in the place value of the letters of the first term to get the second term –
XFI : CKN→X + 5 = C; F + 5 = K; I + 5 = N
PFS : UKX→P + 5 = U; F + 5 = K; S + 5 = X

Now, let's check the given options –
First option: JPW : OLD→J + 5 = O; P – 4 = L; W + 7 = D
Second option: DOP : IJU→D + 5 = I; O – 5 = J; P + 5 = U
Third option: HPS : MUX→H + 5 = M; P + 5 = U; S + 5 = X
Fourth option: TOM : YLN→T + 5 = Y; O – 3 = L; M + 1 = N

So, only the third option follows the given pattern. Hence, the third option is correct.
