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 $2(1+\sec A)$.

Question : Directions: In the following question, some parts of the sentence have errors, and some are correct. Find out which part of the sentence has an error. The number of that part is the answer. If a sentence is error-free, your answer is "No Error".

You must abide on (1) / the terms of (2) / this government. (3) / No Error (4)

Option 1: (1)

Option 2: (2)

Option 3: (3)

Option 4: (4)

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: (1)


Solution : The correct choice is the first option.

The word "on" is not needed in this context. The correct phrase is "abide by" not "abide on".

"Abide by" is a phrasal verb, which means to act according to a law or agreement.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: You must abide by the terms of this government.

Question : If $a-b=2$ and $ab=24$, then what is the value of $a^3-b^3$?

Option 1: 280

Option 2: 124

Option 3: 140

Option 4: 152

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 152


Solution : Given: $a-b=2$ and $ab=24$
We know that $(a-b)^3=a^3-b^3-3ab(a-b)$
⇒ $2^3=a^3-b^3-3(24)(2)$
⇒ $a^3-b^3=8+3\times 24\times 2$
⇒ $a^3-b^3=152$
Hence, the correct answer is 152.

Question : Which one of the following novels was a source of inspiration for the freedom fighters in India?

Option 1: Pariksha Guru

Option 2: Anandamath

Option 3: Rangbhoomi

Option 4: Padmarag

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Anandamath


Solution : The correct answer is Anandamath.

The novel gives a glimpse of colonial India in which the presence of Englishmen—the colonisers—leads to the depiction of Indians suffering from famine and poverty. Author Bankim Chandra Chatterjee is best known for his novel Anandamath. Because it was influenced by and is set in the context of the Sanyasi Rebellion in the late 18th century, it is regarded as one of the most significant works of Bengali and Indian literature.
