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 $0$.

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 2: meal

Option 3: pickle

Option 4: sauce

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: pickle


Solution : The correct choice is the third option.

End up in a pickle is an idiom that means to end up in a troublesome or difficult situation. Pickle is the correct choice here, as it helps convey the intended meaning that no matter how many times the speaker tries, he always ends up in the same challenging situation.

Therefore, the complete sentence is: No matter how many times I try, I always end up in the same pickle.

Question : Directions: In the following question, select the one that is different from the other three alternatives.

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.
