Question : Rice worth INR 504 per kg and INR 540 per kg are mixed with the third variety in the ratio 1 : 1 : 2. If the mixture is worth INR 612 per kg, find the price (per kg in INR) of the third variety.

Option 1: 630

Option 2: 702

Option 3: 764

Option 4: 522

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 702


Solution : Cost of first variety = INR 504
The cost of the second variety = INR 540
The ratio in which rice varieties are mixed = 1 : 1 : 2
Let INR $x$ be the cost of the third variety.
Cost of mixed variety =

Question : The ratio of the volume of the first and second cylinders is 32 : 9 and the ratio of their heights is 8 : 9. If the area of the base of the second cylinder is 616 cm2, then what will be the radius of the first cylinder?

Option 1: 24 cm

Option 2: 20 cm

Option 3: 28 cm

Option 4: 36 cm

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 28 cm


Solution : Volume of cylinder = $\pi r^2h$
The volume of the cylinder can be written as $32y$ and $9y$
The height of the cylinder can be written as $8h$ and $9h$
Since we know that the volume of the cylinder = Area of the base

Question : If the simple interest on a certain sum of money is INR 11,220 at the rate of $16 \frac{1}{2} \%$ per annum for 8 years and 3 months, then what is the principal amount (in INR, rounded off to the nearest rupee)?

Option 1: 4,228

Option 2: 6,822

Option 3: 8,422

Option 4: 8,242

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 8,242


Solution : Simple interest (SI)= $\frac{\text{Principal × Rate × Time}}{100}$
 SI = INR 11,220
Rate = $16\frac{1}{2}$ = $\frac{33}{2}$%
Time = 8 years 3 months = $8\frac{3}{12}$ = $8\frac{1}{4}$ = $\frac{33}{4}$
According to the question,
11220 = $\frac{\text{P×33×33}}{100×2×4}$
⇒ P = $\frac{11220×800}{1089}$
= $\frac{8976000}{1089}$
= 8242.424

Question : Directions: If $\sqrt{AFI}\ :\ 13\ ::\ \sqrt{DDA}\ :\ ?$

Option 1: 12

Option 2: 22

Option 3: 21

Option 4: 24

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 21


Solution : Given:
If $\sqrt{AFI}\ :\ 13\ ::\ \sqrt{DDA}\ :\ ?$

The position values of A, F, and I are 1, 6, and 9 respectively.
On combining the place values, we get 169.
Now, $\sqrt{169}\ =\ 13$
Thus, $\sqrt{AFI}$ is coded as 13.
Similarly, follow the same

Question : If the distance between the centres of two circles is 12 cm and the radii are 5 cm and 4 cm, then the length (in cm) of the transverse common tangent is:

Option 1: $9$

Option 2: $\sqrt{143}$

Option 3: $\sqrt{63}$

Option 4: $7$

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\sqrt{63}$


Solution : Given, the distance between the centres of two circles is 12 cm ($d$) and the radii are 5 cm ($r_1$) and 4 cm ($r_2$).
Length of the transverse common tangent line to the circle
= $\sqrt{d^2-(r_1+r_2)^2}$
= $\sqrt{12^2-(5+4)^2}$
= $\sqrt{144-81}$
​​​​​​= $\sqrt{63}\ \text{cm}$
Hence, the

Question : Sixteen years ago, my grandfather was 9 times older than me. Eight years from now, he will be 3 times my age. Determine the ratio of my age to my grandfather's age eight years ago.

Option 1: 3 : 8

Option 2: 2 : 5

Option 3: 1 : 2

Option 4: 1 : 5

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 1 : 5


Solution : 16 years ago, let my age and my grandfather's age be $x$ years and $9x$ years respectively.
According to the question,
$9x+16+8=3(x+16+8)$
⇒ $9x+24=3x+48+24$
⇒ $6x=48$
⇒ $x=8$
Required ratio 8 years ago,
= $(x+8):(9x+8)$
= (8 + 8) : (9 × 8
