Question : Directions: In a certain code language, READER is written as 123421 and DIRTY is written as 49178. How is DEARER written in that code language?

Option 1: 432121

Option 2: 423212

Option 3: 423121

Option 4: 412312

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 423121


Solution : Given:
READER is written as 123421 and DIRTY is written as 49178.

On combining the letters of both the given words, the codes for each letter are –
Like, READER is written as 123421; R→1; E→2; A→3; D→4; E→2; R→1
And, DIRTY is written as 49178; D→4; I→9; R→1; T→7; Y→8
Similarly, DEARER; D→4; E→2; A→3; R→1; E→2; R→1

So, DEARER is coded as 423121 in the code language. Hence, the third option is correct.

Question : Directions: Arrange the given words in the sequence in which they occur in the dictionary.
i. Irrelevant
ii. Invincible
iii. Irresistible
iv. Invariable
v. Investigate

Option 1: iv, ii, v, iii, i

Option 2: iv, v, i, iii, ii

Option 3: ii, v, iv, i, iii

Option 4: iv, v, ii, i, iii

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: iv, v, ii, i, iii


Solution : Given:
i. Irrelevant ii. Invincible iii. Irresistible iv. Invariable v. Investigate

Step 1: Compare the first letter of each word. Since all the words start with the same letter I, we move on to the next letter.
Step 2: Let's move to the second letter of each word. The second letter of each word is r, n, r, n, n. Based on the alphabetical order of these letters, we can arrange them: Invincible, Invariable, Investigate Irrelevant, Irresistible.
Step 3: Since the third letter of (Invincible, Invariable, Investigate) is the same, move on to the next letter. Compare the fourth letter of  (Invincible, Invariable, Investigate). Invariable will come before Investigate and then Invincible in the sequence as a comes before e, and e comes before i in the alphabetical system.
Step 4: Compare the fifth letter of (Irrelevant, Irresistible). Irrelevant will come before Irresistible in the sequence as i comes before s in the alphabetical system.

So, the sequence is Invariable, Investigate, Invincible, Irrelevant, Irresistible, or (iv), (v), (ii), (i), (iii). Hence, the fourth option is correct.

Question : Directions: Choose the related code from the given alternatives.
AF : BE :: ? : DH

Option 1: CH

Option 2: CG

Option 3: DG

Option 4: CI

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: CI


Solution : Given:
AF : BE :: ? : DH

Subtract and add 1 alternatively to the letters of the second letter pair to get the first term.
Like, B – 1 = A; E + 1 = F
Similarly, D – 1 = C; H + 1 = I

So, DH is related to CI. Hence, the fourth option is correct.

Question : What is the value of (a + b)– a3 – b3?

Option 1: – 3ab(a – b)

Option 2: 3ab(a + b)

Option 3: – 3ab(a + b)

Option 4: 3ab(a – b)

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 3ab(a + b)


Solution : (a + b)– a3 – b3
= a3 + b+ 3ab(a + b) – a3 – b3
= 3ab(a + b)
Hence, the correct answer is 3ab(a + b).

Question : If in $\triangle PQR$ and $\triangle DEF, \angle P=52^{\circ}, \angle Q=74^{\circ}, \angle R=54^{\circ}, \angle D=54^{\circ}, \angle E=74^{\circ}$ and $\angle F=52^{\circ}$, then which of the following is correct?

Option 1: $\triangle \mathrm{PQR} \sim \triangle \mathrm{FED}$

Option 2: $\triangle \mathrm{RQP} \sim \triangle \mathrm{FED}$

Option 3: $\triangle \mathrm{PRQ} \sim \Delta \mathrm{FED}$

Option 4: $\triangle \mathrm{PQR} \sim \triangle \mathrm{DEF}$

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\triangle \mathrm{PQR} \sim \triangle \mathrm{FED}$


Solution :
$\because$ $\angle P=\angle F=52^0$
$\angle Q=\angle E=74^0$
And $\angle R=\angle D=54^0$
By AAA criteria, triangles are similar.
So, $\triangle \mathrm{PQR} \sim \triangle \mathrm{FED}$.
Hence, the correct answer is $\triangle \mathrm{PQR} \sim \triangle \mathrm{FED}$.

Question : If $\tan \theta=\frac{8}{19}$, find the value of $\sec ^2 \theta$.

Option 1: $\frac{11}{19} \\$

Option 2: $1 \frac{8}{19} \\$

Option 3: $\frac{297}{361} \\$

Option 4: $1 \frac{64}{361}$

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $1 \frac{64}{361}$


Solution : Given: $\tan \theta=\frac{8}{19}$
We know, $\sec ^2 \theta=1+\tan^2 \theta$
$⇒\sec ^2 \theta=1+(\frac{8}{19})^2$
$⇒\sec ^2 \theta=1+\frac{64}{361}$
$⇒\sec ^2 \theta=\frac{425}{361}$
$⇒\sec ^2 \theta=1\frac{64}{361}$
Hence, the correct answer is $1\frac{64}{361}$.
