Option 1: INR 150

Option 2: INR 75

Option 3: INR 100

Option 4: INR 125

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: INR 100


Solution : Let the shares of A, B, and C as $3x, 2x$, and $5x$, respectively.
The share of C is INR 300 more than B.
So, $5x = 2x + 300$
⇒ $3x = 300$
⇒ $x = 100$
Therefore, the shares of A, B, and C are 300, 200, and 500, respectively.
So, A will get INR 100 more than B.
Hence, the correct answer is INR 100.

Question : The average weight of 45 students of a school is 55 kg. If the weight of the teacher is included, the average weight rises by 500 grams. Find the weight (in kg ) of the teacher.

Option 1: 78

Option 2: 77

Option 3: 79

Option 4: 80

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 78


Solution : Total weight of students initially $= 45 \times 55 = 2475$ kg
Let the weight of the teacher be $x$.
Total number of people now = 46
According to the problem,
$\frac{2475+x}{46} = 55+\frac{500}{1000}$
$⇒\frac{2475+x}{46} = 55+0.5$
$⇒2475+x = 55.5\times 46$
$⇒2475+x= 2553$
$\therefore x = 78$ kg
Hence, the correct answer is 78 kg.

Question : Directions: Three of the following four-letter clusters are alike in a certain way and thus form a group. Which is the one that does not belong to that group?

Option 1: XVU

Option 2: TQP

Option 3: CAZ

Option 4: KIH

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: TQP


Solution : Let's check the given options –
First option: XVU→X – 2 = V; V – 1 = U
Second option: TQP→T – 3 = Q; Q – 1 = P
Third option: CAZ→C – 2 = A; A – 1 = Z
Fourth option: KIH→K – 2 = I; I – 1 = H

The second option is different from the other three options because the difference in the position value of the first and second letters is 3 instead of 2. Hence, the second option is correct.

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 $0$.
