Question : Which fruit has its seed outside?

Option 1: Strawberry

Option 2: Banana

Option 3: Groundnut

Option 4: Cashew nut

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Strawberry


Solution : The correct answer is Strawberry.

Strawberries are one of the few fruits in which the seeds are situated on the outside rather than the inside. The "fruit" or "flesh" of a strawberry is the receptacle (the thicker section of the stem) of the bloom. The small seed-like structures that cover the surface of the strawberry are the plant's true fruits containing seeds. These seed-like formations are referred to as "achenes." Inside each achene is a little, true seed.

Question : If $4 \sin ^2 \mathrm{A}-3=0$ and $0 \leq \mathrm{A} \leq 90^{\circ}$, then $3 \sin \mathrm{A}-4 \sin ^3 \mathrm{A}$ is:

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

Option 2: $\sqrt{\frac{3}{2}}$

Option 3: $0$

Option 4: $1$

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $0$


Solution : $4 \sin ^2 \mathrm{A}-3=0$
$⇒\sin ^2 A = \frac{3}{4}$
$⇒\sin  A = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$
$3 \sin \mathrm{A}-4 \sin ^3 \mathrm{A}$
$=3 (\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}) - 4 (\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2})^3 $
$=3 (\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}) - 4 (\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2})^3 $
$=3 (\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}) - 4 (\frac{3\sqrt{3}}{8}) $
$=(\frac{3\sqrt{3}}{2}) - (\frac{3\sqrt{3}}{2}) $
$= 0$
Hence, the correct answer is $0$.

Question : Fill in the blank with an appropriate option.

No matter how many times I try, I always end up in the same ____________.

Option 1: account

Option 1: DEFY

Option 2: HINT

Option 3: MOST

Option 4: SUVY

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: SUVY


Solution : Let's check the options –
First option: DEFY; DEFY is a meaningful word that means refuse to obey.
Second option: HINT; HINT is a meaningful word that means clue.
Third option: MOST; Most is a meaningful word that means to the greatest extent.
Fourth option: SUVY; SUVY is not a meaningful word.

So, except SUVY all others are meaningful words. Hence, the fourth option is correct.

Question : Which are the four quantum numbers for an electron present in 4f orbital?

Option 1: n=4, I=3, m=+1, s=+1 / 2

Option 2: n=3, I=2, m=-2, s=+1 / 2

Option 3: n=4, I=4, m=-4, s=-1 / 2

Option 4: n=4, I=3, m=+4, s=+1 / 2

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: n=4, I=3, m=+1, s=+1 / 2


Solution : The correct option is n=4, I=3, m=+1, s=+1 / 2.

The four quantum numbers for an electron in a 4f orbital are:

  1. Principal quantum number (n) = 4.
  2. Azimuthal quantum number (l) = 3.
  3. Magnetic quantum number (m_l) can take values from -3 to +3, including 0.
  4. The spin quantum number (m_s) can be either +1/2 or -1/2.

Question : Find the value of $\frac{\cos A}{1+\sin A}+\frac{1+\sin A}{\cos A}+2$.

Option 1: $1+2 \sec A$

Option 2: $2-\sec A$

Option 3: $2+\sec A$

Option 4: $2(1+\sec A)$

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $2(1+\sec A)$


Solution : Given: 
$\frac{\cos A}{1+\sin A}+\frac{1+\sin A}{\cos A}+2$
= $\frac{\cos^2A+1+\sin A+\sin A+\sin^2A}{(1+\sin A)(\cos A)}+2$
= $\frac{2+2\sin A}{(1+\sin A)(\cos A)}+2$
= $\frac{2(1+\sin A)}{(1+\sin A)(\cos A)}+2$
= $\frac{2}{\cos A}+2$
= $2\sec A+2$
= $2(1+\sec A)$
Hence, the correct answer is $2(1+\sec A)$.
