Question : Directions: In the given question, select the related letter cluster from the given alternatives.
GHIJ : HJJL :: NOPQ : ?

Option 1: OQQS

Option 2: OSSQ

Option 3: PPRS

Option 4: OQSQ

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: OQQS


Solution : Given:
GHIJ : HJJL :: NOPQ : ?

Like, GHIJ→G + 1 = H; H + 2 = J; I + 1 = J; J + 2 = L
Thus, GHIJ is related to HJJL.
Similarly, follow the same pattern for NOPQ –
N + 1 = O; O + 2 = Q; P + 1 = Q; Q + 2 = S

Thus, NOPQ is related to OQQS. Hence, the first option is correct.

Question : If $\cos \theta-\sin \theta=\sqrt{2} \sin \theta$, then $(\cos \theta+\sin \theta)$ is:

Option 1: $-\sqrt{2} \cos \theta$

Option 2: $\sqrt{2} \cos \theta$

Option 3: $\sqrt{2} \tan \theta$

Option 4: $-\sqrt{2} \sin \theta$

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\sqrt{2} \cos \theta$


Solution : According to the question,
⇒  $\cos \theta-\sin \theta=\sqrt{2} \sin \theta$
⇒ $(\cos\theta + \sin\theta)^{2} = 2 \sin^{2}\theta$
⇒ $\cos^{2}\theta + \sin^{2}\theta + 2\sin\theta\cos~\theta = 2\sin^{2}\theta$
⇒ $\sin^{2}\theta - \cos^{2}\theta - 2\sin~\theta~cos\theta = 0$
⇒ $\sin^{2}\theta + \cos^{2}\theta - 2\sin\theta\cos\theta = 2 \cos^{2}\theta$
⇒ $(\sin~\theta - \cos\theta)^{2}=2\cos^2\theta$
⇒ $\sin\theta - \cos \theta$ = $\sqrt{2}\cos\theta$
Hence, the correct answer is $\sqrt{2}\cos\theta$.

Question : Let $x$ be the least number of 4 digits that when divided by 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 leaves a remainder of 1 in each case. If $x$ lies between 2000 and 2500, then what is the sum of the digits of $x$?

Option 1: 4

Option 2: 15

Option 3: 9

Option 4: 10

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 4


Solution :

LCM of 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 is 420.
The number should be between 2000 and 2500.
So, the number is = 420 × 5 = 2100
The remainder will be 1 in each case so the number = 2100 + 1 = 2101
Sum of digit of the number 2101 is = 2 + 1 + 0 + 1 = 4
Hence, the correct answer is 4.
