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.

Question : The relationship between the value of money and the price level in an economy is 

Option 1: Direct 

Option 2: Inverse

Option 3: Proportional 

Option 4: Stable

As a result, the value of money and the level of prices in an economy are inversely related. The price level changes proportionally in response to changes in the money supply and vice versa.

Elusive

Option 1: Explosive

Option 2: Affordable

Option 3: Definite

Option 4: Rigid

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

Explosive refers to an explosion or is characterised by the sudden and violent release of energy.

Affordable means inexpensive, within one's financial means.

Rigid means lacking flexibility or adaptability.

Therefore, the correct answer is definite.

Question : Directions: In a certain code language, RHETORIC is coded as 6 and GURGLE is coded as 4. What will be the code for SIGNATURE in the given code language?

Option 1: 5

Option 2: 7

Option 3: 8

Option 4: 12

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 7


Solution : Given:
RHETORIC is coded as 6 and GURGLE is coded as 4. 

Subtract 2 from the total number of letters in the word RHETORIC to obtain the required code –
RHETORIC: 8 – 2 = 6
Thus, RHETORIC is coded as 6.
And in, GURGLE is coded as 4 –
GURGLE: 6 – 2 = 4
Thus, GURGLE is coded as 4.
Similarly, follow the same pattern for SIGNATURE –
SIGNATURE: 9 – 2 = 7

Thus, SIGNATURE is coded as 7. Hence, the second option is correct.

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 conclusion/s logically follow/s from the given statements.
Statements:
(I) All dances are art.
(II) Some walls are art.
(III) Some dances are groups.
Conclusions:
(I) Some walls are dances.
(II) Some groups are art.

Option 1: Both conclusions (I) and (II) do not follow

Option 2: Only conclusion (I) follows

Option 3: Both conclusions (I) and (II) follow

Option 4: Only conclusion (II) follows

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Only conclusion (II) follows


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

Let's check each conclusion –
Conclusions I: Some walls are dances – According to the Venn diagram, there is no definite relation between walls and dances. Therefore, this conclusion does not follow.
Conclusion II: Some groups are art – According to the Venn diagram, the circle of groups and art intersect and have some common area between them. Therefore, this conclusion follows.

So, the only conclusion II follows. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
