Question : If the height and slant height of a cone are 21 cm and 29 cm, respectively. Find its volume. (Use $\pi=\frac{22}{7}$)

Option 1: 8800 cm3

Option 2: 8708 cm3

Option 3: 8440 cm3

Option 4: 8080 cm3

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 8800 cm3


Solution : Given, height $= h = 21\ \mathrm{cm}$
Slant height $=l=29\ \mathrm{cm}$
Let $r$ be the radius.
We know, $l^2=h^2+r^2$
⇒ $r^2=l^2-h^2$
⇒ $r^2=29^2-21^2$
⇒ $r^2=841-441$
⇒ $r^2=400$
⇒ $r=20$ cm
Now, Volume $=\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2h$
$=\frac{1}{3}\times\frac{22}{7}\times(20)^2\times21$
$=\frac{1}{3}\times\frac{22}{7}\times400\times21$
$=8800$ cm3
Hence, the correct answer is 8800 cm3.

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.)
(48, 16, 192)
(22, 62, 341)

Option 1: (32, 24, 222)

Option 2: (74, 38, 713)

Option 3: (84, 78, 1638)

Option 4: (92, 46, 1068)

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: (84, 78, 1638)


Solution : Given: 
(48, 16, 192)
(22, 62, 341)

Here, (48, 16, 192)→(48 ÷ 2) × (16 ÷ 2) = 24 × 8 = 192
(22, 62, 341)→(22 ÷ 2) × (62 ÷ 2) = 11 × 31 = 341

Now, let's check the options –
First option: (32, 24, 222)→(32 ÷ 2) × (24 ÷ 2) = 16 × 12 = 192 ≠ 222
Second option: (74, 38, 713)→(74 ÷ 2) × (38 ÷ 2) = 37 × 19 =703 ≠ 713
Third option: (84, 78, 1638)→(84 ÷ 2) × (78 ÷ 2) = 42 × 39 = 1638
Fourth option: (92, 46, 1068)→(92 ÷ 2) × (46 ÷ 2) = 46 × 23 = 1058 ≠ 1068

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

Question : If $p^2-4 p-1=0$, then the value of $p^2+3 p+\frac{1}{p^2}-\frac{3}{p}$ is:

Option 1: 40

Option 2: 50

Option 3: 65

Option 4: 30

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 30


Solution : Given: $p^2-4 p-1=0$
⇒ $p-\frac{1}{p}=4$
Squaring both sides, we get:
$⇒(p-\frac{1}{p})^2=(4)^2$
$⇒ (p^2+\frac{1}{p^2}-2×p×\frac{1}{p})=16$
$⇒ (p^2+\frac{1}{p^2})=16+2$
$⇒ (p^2+\frac{1}{p^2})=18$
Now, $p^2+3 p+\frac{1}{p^2}-\frac{3}{p}$
$=p^2+\frac{1}{p^2}+3 p-\frac{3}{p}$
$=p^2+\frac{1}{p^2}+3(p-\frac{1}{p})$
Putting the values, we get:
$=18+3×4$
$=30$
Hence, the correct answer is 30.

Option 1: INR 22,53,000

Option 2: INR 24,75,000

Option 3: INR 16,87,500

Option 4: INR 20,25,000

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: INR 20,25,000


Solution : The total sum of the teacher's salary and rent = INR 45 lakhs
$\therefore$ (15% + 25%) of school expenditure = 45,00,000
School expenditure = $\frac{100}{40}×4500000$ = 2.5 × 4500,000 = 1,12,50,000
$\therefore$ Savings = 18% of school expenditure = $\frac{18}{100}×11250000$ = 20,25,000
Hence, the correct answer is INR 20,25,000.
