Question : The total surface area of a solid hemisphere of diameter 14 cm is (use $\pi=\frac{22}{7}$ ):

Option 1: 522 cm2

Option 2: 462 cm2

Option 3: 428 cm2

Option 4: 584 cm2

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 462 cm2


Solution : Diameter = 14 cm
Radius, $r = \frac{14}{2} = 7$ cm
The total surface area of a hemisphere = $3\pi r^2= 3 \times \frac{22}{7} \times 7^2 = 462$ cm2 
Hence, the correct answer is 462 cm2​​​​​.

Option 1: demand for a commodity and its supply

Option 2: demand for a commodity and its price

Option 3: tax on a commodity and its price

Option 4: supply of a commodity and its price

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: demand for a commodity and its price


Solution : The correct option is demand for a commodity and its price.

The Law of Demand asserts a negative relationship between the price of a commodity and the quantity demanded. As the price rises, demand tends to decrease, and vice versa. This inverse correlation reflects consumers' inclination to buy more at lower prices and less at higher prices, influencing market dynamics.

Question : Directions: Select the correct option that indicates the arrangement of the given words in a logical and meaningful order.
1. Thighs
2. Stomach
3. Nose
4. Lips
5. Skull

Option 1: 1, 2, 5, 3, 4

Option 2: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

Option 3: 1, 2, 4, 3, 5

Option 4: 1, 2, 3, 5, 4

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 1, 2, 4, 3, 5


Solution : Given:
1. Thighs 2. Stomach 3. Nose 4. Lips 5. Skull

Starting from the top of the human body, we have the skull, which houses and protects the brain. Just below that, we have the nose, which is responsible for our sense of smell and plays a crucial role in our respiratory system. Moving down, we have the lips, which not only help us speak and express emotions but also aid in eating and drinking. The stomach, located below the lips, is a vital organ that helps break down food and extract nutrients. Finally, at the bottom of the body, we have the thighs, which support us in standing and walking and play a crucial role in our movement.

On arranging the body parts from bottom to top, the sequence is as follows – Thighs→Stomach→Lips→Nose→Skull

So, the order is 1, 2, 4, 3, 5. Hence, the third option is correct.

Question : A substance used as an antifreeze in radiators of automobiles is:

 

Option 1: Methyl alcohol and H2O.

Option 2: Methyl alcohol

Option 3: Ethyl alcohol

Option 4: Ethyl alcohol and H2O.

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Methyl alcohol and H2O.


Solution : The correct option is Methyl alcohol and H2O.

Methyl alcohol (CH3OH), usually known as methanol, is a kind of alcohol that may be used as an antifreeze in automotive radiators. It works as a coolant and antifreeze solution for the vehicle's engine when combined with water (H2O) in the suitable ratio. In areas where extreme freezing temperatures can cause standard water-based coolants to freeze, possibly harming the engine, methanol-water combinations are widely employed. The combination reduces the freezing point of the coolant, keeping it from hardening in cold weather, and it also aids in the regulation of engine temperatures while in operation.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • Buying the pig in a poke means purchasing something without examining it beforehand.
  • Cast pearls before swine signifies giving something valuable to someone who doesn't appreciate or understand its worth. It suggests offering something of high value to those who cannot or do not appreciate it.
  • Beating about the bush means avoiding getting to the main point or being indirect about something. It suggests not addressing a topic directly and instead talking about it.

Question : Two parallel lines touch the circles at P and Q. The area of the circle is 154 cm2. Find the length of PQ (Take $\pi=\frac{22}{7}$)

Option 1: 85.2 cm

Option 2: 14 cm

Option 3: 7 cm

Option 4: 77 cm

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 14 cm


Solution :
Given: Area of the circle = 154 $cm^2$
We know that,
Area of the circle = $\pi r^2$
According to the question, 
154 = $\pi r^2$
⇒ 154 = $\frac{22}{7}×r^2$
⇒ $\frac{154×7}{22}$ = $r^2$
⇒ $r$ = 7
Thus, length of PQ = 7 × 2 = 14
Hence, the correct answer is 14 cm.

Question : If the triangles ABC and PQR are similar and if $\angle A=35°, \angle B=65°$ then $\angle R=$?

Option 1: 80°

Option 2: 90°

Option 3: 35°

Option 4: 65°

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 80°


Solution : $\triangle ABC \sim \triangle PQR$
⇒ $\angle C=\angle R$
In $\triangle ABC,$
$\angle A + \angle B + \angle C = 180°$
⇒ $35°+65°+\angle C = 180°$
⇒ $\angle C = 180° - 100°$
⇒ $\angle C = 80°$
⇒ $\angle R = 80°$
Hence, the correct answer is 80°.
