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: 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.

Question : Jason can do a piece of work alone in 23.4 days, while Rafique can do the same piece of work alone in 39 days. In how many days can the duo, complete the same work if they work together?

Option 1: 14.750

Option 2: 14.625

Option 3: 14.875

Option 4: 14.375

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 14.625


Solution : Time taken by Jason alone to complete the work = 23.4 days
⇒ Part of work done by Jason alone in a day = $\frac{1}{23.4}$ = $\frac{10}{234}$
Time taken by Rafique alone to complete the work = 39 days
⇒ Part of work done by Rafique alone in a day = $\frac{1}{39}$
Let the time taken by Jason and Rafique together to complete the work = $x$ days
⇒ Part of work done by Jason and Rafique in a day = $\frac{1}{x}$
According to the question,
$\frac{10}{234}$ + $\frac{1}{39}$ = $\frac{1}{x}$
$⇒\frac{1}{x}$ = $\frac{10+6}{234}$= $\frac{8}{117}$
$⇒x$ = $\frac{117}{8}$ = 14.625
Hence, the correct answer is 14.625.

Question : Sourabh purchased an article for INR 48,000 and sold it at a loss of 12%. With that amount, she purchased another item and sold it at a gain of 20%. What is the overall gain or loss in INR?

Option 1: INR 2,688 loss

Option 2: INR 14,208 loss

Option 3: INR 2,688 gain

Option 4: INR 14,208 gain

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: INR 2,688 gain


Solution : Cost price = INR 48,000
Selling price after 12% loss = $\frac{48000\times(100-12)}{100}$ = INR 42,240
Selling price after 20% gain = $\frac{42240\times(100+20)}{100}$ = INR 50,688
Profit = Selling price – Cost price = INR (50,688 – 48,000) = INR 2,688
Hence, the correct answer is a profit of INR 2,688.
