Question : Which of the following colloids is an example of foam?

Option 1: Sponge

Option 2: Butter

Option 3: Cheese

Option 4: Mist

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Sponge


Solution : The correct option is Sponge.

One kind of colloid that is an example of foam is a sponge. Foam refers to the dispersion of gas bubbles in a liquid or solid medium, while colloids are materials that have uniformly distributed particles within them. Their colloidal nature allows them to hold and release large amounts of liquid. A sponge is an example of a foam in a colloidal system because it forms a structure resembling foam inside its pores as it absorbs water.

Question : Directions: Read the given statements and conclusions carefully. You have to take the given statements to be true even if they seem to be at variance from commonly known facts. You have to decide which conclusions logically follow/s from the given statements.
Statements:
(I) All tankers are ships.
(II) Some ships are rockets.
(III) Some tankers are guns.
Conclusions:
(I) Some guns are ships.
(II) Some tankers are rockets.

Option 1: Neither conclusion (I) nor (II) is true

Option 2: Only conclusion (II) is true

Option 3: Both conclusions (I) and (II) are true

Option 4: Only conclusion (I) is true

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Only conclusion (I) is true


Solution : The possible Venn diagram for the according to the given statements –


Let's analyse the conclusions –
Conclusion (I): Some guns are ships – According to the Venn diagram, some part of the circle representing guns intersects the circle representing ships. So, this conclusion follows.
Conclusion (II): Some tankers are rockets – According to the Venn diagram, we can see that there is no definite relation between tankers and rockets. So, this conclusion does not follow.

So, only the conclusion I is true. Hence, the fourth option is correct.

Question : The number of patients in four different categories in three hospitals A, B, and C is given below.
 
The total number of patients in three hospitals A, B, and C respectively, are:

Option 1: 12, 14, and 12

Option 2: 12, 12, and 14

Option 3: 14, 12, and 12

Option 4: 14, 13, and 12

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 14, 12, and 12


Solution : Patients in hospital A in all categories = 5 + 3 + 2 + 4 = 14
Patients in hospital B in all categories = 3 + 2 + 5 + 2 = 12
Patients in hospital C in all categories = 5 + 3 + 2 + 2 = 12
Hence, the correct answer is 14, 12, and 12.

Question : Directions: Select the option in which the numbers share the same relationship in the set as that shared by the numbers in the given set.
(NOTE: Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into their constituent digits. E.g.13 – operations on 13 such as adding/subtracting/multiplying etc. to 13 can be performed. Breaking down 13 into 1 and 3 and then performing mathematical operations on 1 and 3 is not allowed.)
(12, 144, 1728)
(6, 36, 216)

Option 1: (11, 121, 1000)

Option 2: (14, 196, 2197)

Option 3: (10, 100, 1000)

Option 4: (8, 64, 729)

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: (10, 100, 1000)


Solution : Given:
(12, 144, 1728); (6, 36, 216)

Here, (12, 144, 1728)→(12)= 144; (12)3 = 1728
(6, 36, 216)→(6)= 36; (6)= 216

Let's check each option –
First option: (11, 121, 1000)→(11)2 = 121; (11)3 = 1331 ≠ 1000
Second option: (14, 196, 2197)→(14)= 196; (14)3 = 2744 ≠ 2197
Third option: (10, 100, 1000)→(10)= 100; (10)= 1000 
Fourth option: (8, 64, 729)→(8)2 = 64; (8)= 512 ≠ 729

So, only the third option follows the same pattern as followed by the given set of numbers. Hence, the third option is correct.

Question : The point $R(a,b)$ is first reflected over the origin to $R_1$ and $R_1$ is reflected over the X-axis to (–4, 2). The coordinates of point $R$ are:

Option 1: (–4, –2)

Option 2: (–4, 2)

Option 3: (4, 2)

Option 4: (4, –2)

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: (4, 2)


Solution : Given: The coordinates of the point $R(a,b)$ reflected over the origin are $R(–a,–b)$.
The coordinates of $R(–a,–b)$ are reflected over the X-axis to $(–a, b)$.
But $(–a, b)$ $=(–4, 2)$
So, $a=4,b=2$
Thus point R (4, 2)
Hence, the correct answer is (4, 2).

Question : Directions: Find out the correct alternative that when filled in the blanks in the same sequence will make the series logically complete.
J_SX _WUTNS_P_OYLRKA_

Option 1: AKVML

Option 2: ALWPH

Option 3: ALWLK

Option 4: AKUOG

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: ALWPH


Solution : Given:
J_SX_WUTNS_P_OYLRKA_

Add 2 in the first and third letter and subtract 4 from the second and fourth letter of the given term –

So, the missing term is ALWPH. Hence, the second option is correct.

Question : Directions: JPVZ is related to PVBF in a certain way based on a certain relationship between the given letters in the English alphabetical order. In the same way, HQRS is related to NWXY. To which of the following is EJUO related to following the same logic?

Option 1: ZSFO

Option 2: JPHN

Option 3: NWJF

Option 4: KPAU

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: KPAU


Solution : Given:
JPVZ is related to PVBF and HQRS is related to NWXY.

Add 6 to the place value of each letter of JPVZ and HQRS to obtain the required codes –
JPVZ→J + 6 = P; P + 6 = V; V + 6 = B; Z + 6 = F
Thus, JPVZ is related to PVBF.
HQRS→H + 6 = N; Q + 6 = W; R + 6 = X; S + 6 = Y
Thus, HQRS is related to NWXY.
Similarly, follow the same pattern for EJUO –
E + 6 = K; J + 6 = P; U + 6 = A; O + 6 = U

Thus, EJUO is related to KPAU. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
