Question : P, Q, and R are partners and invest in a business. P invests $\frac{1}{5}^{th}$ of total investments and Q invests $\frac{1}{4}^{th}$ of the total investments. What is the ratio of investments of P, Q, and R respectively?

Option 1: 4 : 8 : 11

Option 2: 4 : 5 : 11

Option 3: 4 : 7 : 11

Option 4: 4 : 5 : 9

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 4 : 5 : 11


Solution : P invests $\frac{1}{5}$th of the total investment.
Q invests $\frac{1}{4}$th of the total investment.
Taking, LCM (4, 5) = 20
Let the total investment be Rs. 20
P invests $\frac{1}{5}$th of the total investment = $\frac{1}{5}\times 20$ = Rs. 4
Q invests $\frac{1}{4}$th of the total investment = $\frac{1}{4}\times 20$ = Rs. 5
Thus R invests = Rs. 20 – (Rs. 4 + Rs. 5) = Rs. 20 – Rs. 9 = Rs. 11
Thus the ratio of the profit of P, Q, and R respectively is 4 : 5 : 11.
Hence, the correct answer is 4 : 5 : 11.

Question : A man travelled a certain distance by train at the speed of 50 km/hr and walked back the same distance at the speed of 10 km/hr. If the whole journey took 12 hours, then what was the distance travelled by train?

Option 1: 100 km

Option 2: 180 km

Option 3: 150 km

Option 4: 120 km

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 100 km


Solution : Speed of train = 50 km/hr
Speed of walking = 10 km/hr
Total time for journey = 12 hours
Let the distance to be covered be $d$ km.
Time taken by train = $\frac{d}{50}$
Time taken by walking = $\frac{d}{10}$
According to the question :
$⇒ \frac{d}{50} + \frac{d}{10} = 12$
$⇒ 6d = 50 × 12$
$⇒ d = 100$ km
Hence, the distance travelled by train is 100 km.
Hence, the correct answer is 100 km.

Question : Directions: Select the related letter cluster from the given alternatives.
VVXY : RRTU :: FFHI : ?

Option 1: XXYB

Option 2: CCDF

Option 3: UUVZ

Option 4: BBDE

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: BBDE


Solution : Given:
VVXY : RRTU :: FFHI : ?

Subtract 4 from the place value of each letter of VVXY to obtain the required code –
V – 4 = R; V – 4 = R; X – 4 = T; Y – 4 = U
Thus, VVXY is coded as RRTU.
Similarly, follow the same pattern for FFHI –
F – 4 = B; F – 4 = B; H – 4 = D; I – 4 = E

Thus, FFHI is coded as BBDE. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
