Option 1: The new product will be released by the company next month.

Option 2: The new product will release by the company next month.

Option 3: The new product will be releasing by the company next month.

Option 4: The new product is released by the company next month.

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: The new product will be released by the company next month.


Solution : The correct choice is the first option.

Passive voice is the voice in which the object experiences an action rather than the person who performs the action. Hence, the object in the active sentence becomes the subject in the passive voice.

The structure of the passive voice in the case of the simple future tense is: "Singular object + will + be + past participle form of the verb + 'by' followed by the agent of the action."

Therefore, the sentence in the passive voice is: "The new product will be released by the company next month."

Question : Two circles with centres A and B touch each other externally, PQ is a direct common tangent which touches the circle at P and Q. If the radii of the circles are 9 cm and 4 cm, respectively, then the length of PQ (in cm) is equal to:

Option 1: 5

Option 2: 13

Option 3: 6.5

Option 4: 12

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 12


Solution :
Let $r{_1}$​ and $r{_2}$​ be the radii of the two circles, and let $d$ be the distance between their centres.
In this case:
$d=r{_1}​+r{_2}$​
Given that the radii are 18 cm and 8 cm, we have:
$d=9+4=13\ \mathrm{cm}$
Now, the direct common tangent is the line segment that joins the points of contact of the two circles. This forms a right-angled triangle with the line segment connecting the centres. The length of the direct common tangent can be found using the Pythagorean theorem.
Let $t$ be the length of the direct common tangent.
Then:
$t^2=d^2−(r{_1}​−r{_2}​)^2$
$⇒t^2=13^2−(9−4)^2$
$⇒t^2=169−5^2$
$⇒t^2=169−25$
$⇒t^2=144$
$\therefore t=12\ \mathrm{cm}$
Hence, the correct answer is 12.

Question : For real $a, b, c$ if $a^2+b^2+c^2=ab+bc+ca$, then value of $\frac{a+c}{b}$ is:

Option 1: 1

Option 2: 2

Option 3: 3

Option 4: 0

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 2


Solution : Given: $a^{2} + b^{2} + c^{2} = (ab+bc+ca)$
⇒ $a^{2} + b^{2} + c^{2} - (ab+bc+ca)=0$
Since : $a^2+b^2+c^2-ab-bc-ca = \frac{1}{2}[(a-b)^2+(b-c)^2+(c-a)^2]$
So, $a^2+b^2+c^2-ab-bc-ca = \frac{1}{2}[(a-b)^2+(b-c)^2+(c-a)^2]=0$
⇒ $a=b=c $
So, $\frac{a+c}{b} = \frac{a+a}{a} = 2$
Hence, the correct answer is 2.

Option 2: 3 : 5

Option 3: 4 : 5

Option 4: 7 : 9

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 7 : 9


Solution : The total sales of branch B2 for both years = 75 + 65 = 140 thousands
The total sales of branch B4 for both years = 85 + 95 = 180 thousands
Required ratio = The total sales of branch B2 for both years : The total sales of branch B4 for both years
Required ratio = 140 : 180 = 7 : 9
Hence, the correct answer is 7 : 9.
