Question : Directions: EGCB is related to MOKJ in a certain way based on the English alphabetical order. In the same way, PRNM is related to XZVU. To which of the following is KMIH related, following the same logic?

Option 1: SUQP

Option 2: RTQP

Option 3: SVOP

Option 4: QSPU

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: SUQP


Solution : Given:
EGCB is related to MOKJ and PRNM is related to XZVU.

Add 8 in the place value of the letters of EGCB, to get the required code –
E + 8 = M; G + 8 = O; C + 8 = K; B + 8 = J
Thus, EGCB is coded as MOKJ.
And, PRNM is related to XZVU –
P + 8 = X; R + 8 = Z; N + 8 = V; M + 8 = U
Thus, PRNM is coded as XZVU.
Similarly, follow the same pattern for KMIH –
K + 8 = S; M + 8 = U; I + 8 = Q; H + 8 = P

So, KMIH is related to SUQP. Hence, the first option is correct.

Question : Directions: What should come in place of (?) in the given series?
16, 19, 25, 34, 46, ?

Option 1: 69

Option 2: 61

Option 3: 63

Option 4: 65

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 61


Solution : Given:
16, 19, 25, 34, 46, ?

Add the consecutive multiples of 3 to each term to get the next term.
16 + 3 = 19; 19 + 6 = 25; 25 + 9 = 34; 34 + 12 = 46; 46 + 15 = 61

So, 61 is the missing number of the series. Hence, the second option is correct.

Question : If $\cos A=\frac{63}{65}$, then find the value of $\tan A+\cot A$ (up to two places of decimal).

Option 1: 4.19

Option 2: 2.76

Option 3: 3.19

Option 4: 5.23

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 4.19


Solution : Given, $\cos A=\frac{63}{65}$
We know, $\sin A = \sqrt{1-\cos^2 A}$
$⇒\sin A = \sqrt{1-(\frac{63}{65})^2}$
$⇒\sin A = \sqrt{(\frac{256}{65^2})}$
$\therefore \sin A =\frac{16}{65}$
Now, $\tan A+\cot A$
= $\frac{\sin A}{\cos A}+\frac{\cos A}{\sin A}$
= $\frac{\sin^2 A + \cos^2 A}{\sin A \cos A}$
= $\frac{1}{\sin A \cos A}$
= $\frac{65\times 65}{63\times 16}$
= $4.19$
Hence, the correct answer is 4.19.

Question : The sum of twice a fraction and its reciprocal is $\frac{17}{6}$. What is the fraction?

Option 1: $\frac{4}{3}$

Option 2: $\frac{5}{4}$

Option 3: $\frac{3}{4}$

Option 4: $\frac{4}{5}$

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\frac{3}{4}$


Solution : Let's assume the fraction is $x$.
$⇒2x+\frac{1}{x}=\frac{17}{6}$
Multiplying both sides by $x$, we get,
$⇒2x^2+1=\frac{17x}{6}$
$⇒2x^2-\frac{17x}{6}+1=0$
Multiplying both sides by 6, we get,
$\Rightarrow 12x^2-17x +6=0$
$\Rightarrow (3x-2)(4x-3)=0$
$\Rightarrow (3x-2)$ or $(4x-3)=0$
$\Rightarrow x=\frac{2}{3}$ or $x=\frac{3}{4}$
After checking the options we get, $x=\frac{3}{4}$
Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{3}{4}$.
