Question : Directions: Out of the given letter clusters, three are similar in a certain manner. However, one option is NOT like the other three. Select the option which is different from the rest.

Option 1: BDF

Option 2: UWY

Option 3: IKM

Option 4: PRS

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: PRS


Solution : Let's check the options –
First option: BDF; B + 2 = D; D + 2 = F
Second option: UWY; U + 2 = W; W + 2 = Y
Third option: IKM; I + 2 = K; K + 2 = M
Fourth option: PRS : P + 2; R + 1 = S

So, the fourth option is different from the other three options because the difference in the positional values of the letters is 2, 1 instead of 2, 2. Hence, the fourth option is correct.

Question : Directions: Find the missing numbers from the given responses.

Option 1: 109; 111; 117

Option 2: 114; 111; 117

Option 3: 111; 114; 117

Option 4: 117; 109; 111

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 111; 114; 117


Solution : Let the missing numbers in a table be a; b; c.

In a given table, the sum of all the numbers in a row and in a column is equal i.e. 342.

In the first row→113 + 118 + a = 342
⇒ a = 342 – 113 – 118 = 111
In the second row→112 + b + 116 = 342
⇒ b = 342 – 112 – 116 = 114
Similarly, in the third row→c + 110 + 115 = 342
⇒ c = 342 – 110 – 115 = 117

So, 111; 114; and 117 are the missing numbers in the given figure. Hence, the third option is correct.

Question : Which state among the following has the largest reserves of gold ore in India as of 2021?

Option 1: Jharkhand

Option 2: Rajasthan

Option 3: Bihar

Option 4: Karnataka

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Bihar


Solution : The correct option is Bihar.

According to a survey conducted by the Geological Survey of India, the Jamui district in Bihar holds a significant gold reserve, totaling approximately 222.88 million metric tonnes, which includes 27.6 metric tonnes of mineral-rich ore. In terms of primary gold resources in India, Bihar emerges as the leading state, accounting for 44% of the total reserves, followed by Rajasthan (25%), Karnataka (21%), West Bengal (3%), Andhra Pradesh (3%), and Jharkhand (2%). The remaining 2% of gold ore resources are distributed across Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, Kerala, Maharashtra, and Tamil Nadu.

Question : The Aryans succeeded in their conflicts with the pre - Aryans because

Option 1: they used elephants on a large scale

Option 2: they were taller and stronger

Option 3: they were from an advanced urban culture

Option 4: they used chariots driven by horses

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: they used chariots driven by horses


Solution : The Correct Answer is they used chariots driven by horses

Because they had superior Bronze and Iron tools and ox- and horse-drawn carts with light spoked wheels, Aryans were more successful than pre-Aryans. In order to create a new civilization, the pre-Aryans had previously destroyed and expelled some other population. Around 1500 BCE, the Aryans arrived on the Indian subcontinent.

Question : A cuboidal water tank is 12 m long, 9 m wide and 7.5 m deep. How many litres of water can it hold?

Option 1: 840000

Option 2: 805000

Option 3: 780000

Option 4: 810000

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 810000


Solution : Given:
Length = 12 m, Breadth = 9 m, Height = 7.5 m
Volume of cube = Length × Breadth × Height
⇒ Volume of cube = 12 × 9 × 7.5 = 810 m3
The amount of water held by 1 m3 tank = 1000 litres
So, the amount of water held by 810 m3 tank = 810 × 1000 = 810000 litres
Hence, the correct answer is 810000.

Question : If $x\cos \theta -y\sin \theta =\sqrt{x^{2}+y^{2}}$ and $\frac{\cos ^2{\theta }}{a^{2}}+\frac{\sin ^{2}\theta}{b^{2}}=\frac{1}{x^{2}+y^{2}},$ then the correct relation is:

Option 1: $\frac{x^{2}}{b^{2}}-\frac{y^{2}}{a^{2}}=1$

Option 2: $\frac{x^{2}}{a^{2}}+\frac{y^{2}}{b^{2}}=1$

Option 3: $\frac{x^{2}}{b^{2}}+\frac{y^{2}}{a^{2}}=1$

Option 4: $\frac{x^{2}}{a^{2}}-\frac{y^{2}}{b^{2}}=1$

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\frac{x^{2}}{a^{2}}+\frac{y^{2}}{b^{2}}=1$


Solution : $x\cos \theta -y\sin \theta =\sqrt{x^{2}+y^{2}}$ ..................................(1)
$\frac{\cos ^2{\theta }}{a^{2}}+\frac{\sin ^{2}\theta }{b^{2}}=\frac{1}{x^{2}+y^{2}}$ .......................................(2)
From equation (1),
$\frac{x\cos \theta}{\sqrt{x^{2}+y^{2}}} -\frac{y\sin \theta}{\sqrt{x^{2}+y^{2}}} =1$
Comparing with $\cos^2 \theta + \sin^2 \theta = 1$, we get,
$\sin \theta = -\frac{y}{\sqrt{x^{2}+y^{2}}}$ and $\cos \theta = \frac{x}{\sqrt{x^{2}+y^{2}}}$
Putting in (2),
$\frac{x^2}{(x^2 + y^2)a^2}+ \frac{y^2}{(x^2 + y^2)b^2} = \frac{1}{(x^2 + y^2)}$
⇒ $\frac{x^2}{a^2}+ \frac{y^2}{b^2} = 1$
Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{x^2}{a^2}+ \frac{y^2}{b^2} = 1$.

Question : The area and the length of one of the diagonals of a rhombus are 84 cm2 and 7 cm respectively. Find the length of its other diagonal (in cm).

Option 1: 12

Option 2: 24

Option 3: 48

Option 4: 36

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 24


Solution : Given: Area = $84\ cm^2$
1st diagonal = 7 cm
2nd diagonal = $D_2$
We know that
Area of rhombus = $\frac{1}{2}\times$(Product of the diagonals)
⇒ $84 = \frac{1}{2}\times7\times D_2$
⇒ $D_2 = 24\ cm$
Hence, the correct answer is 24.

Question : Identify the segment in the sentence which contains a grammatical error. If there is no error, then select the option "No error".

The London-based Brodsky / Quartet, meanwhile, is one of / the world's leading string quartet.

Option 1: The London-based Brodsky

Option 2: the world's leading string quartet.

Option 3: Quartet, meanwhile, is one of

Option 4: No error

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: the world's leading string quartet.


Solution : The error lies in the second option.

The phrase "one of" should be followed by a plural noun to maintain the agreement in the sentence. Thus, string quartet should be replaced with string quartets to make the sentence grammatically accurate, as "one of" is followed by a plural noun but requires a singular verb to agree with the noun phrase.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: The London-based Brodsky Quartet, meanwhile, is one of the world's leading string quartets.

Question : If the density of oxygen is 16 times that of hydrogen, what will be their corresponding ratio to the velocity of sound?

Option 1: 4:1

Option 2: 2:1

Option 3: 1:16

Option 4: 1:4

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 1:4


Solution : The correct option is 1:4.

If the density of oxygen is 16 times that of hydrogen, the ratio of their velocities of sound will be the same as the ratio of their densities

The velocity of sound from oxygen to hydrogen is 1:4.

v=√γP/ρ.

  • v is the speed of sound in the gas,
  • γ is the heat capacity ratio 
  • P is the pressure of the gas, and
  • ρ is the density of the gas.

Vo2/VH2 = ρH2/ρO2

√1/16 = 1/4​​.
