The percentage of the total expenditure on Labour and Timber is:

Option 1: $30 \frac{5}{9} \%$

Option 2: $30 \frac{1}{3} \%$

Option 3: $30 \frac{1}{9} \%$

Option 4: $30 \frac{7}{9} \%$

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $30 \frac{5}{9} \%$


Solution : The pie chart represents the distribution of expenditure in degrees. The total expenditure on Labour and Timber is represented by an angle of 110° (65° for Labour and 45° for Timber).
Since the total angle in a circle (or pie chart) is 360°, the percentage of the total expenditure on Labour and Timber can be calculated as follows:
$=\frac{110}{360} \times 100 = 30 \frac{5}{9} \%$
Hence, the correct answer is $30 \frac{5}{9} \%$

Question : Directions: Six regular hexagons of side 5 cm are joined together to form the figure given below. What is the perimeter of the figure?

Option 1: 210

Option 2: 180

Option 3: 120

Option 4: 240

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 120


Solution : Given:
The side of a regular hexagon is 5cm.

The perimeter of a given figure(P) = (Total length of the external boundary) + (Total length of the internal boundary)
P = (AB + BC + CD + DE + EF + FG + GH + HI + IJ + JK + KL + LM + MN + NO + OP + PQ + QR + RA) + (ST + TU + UV + VW + WX + XS)
P = (5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5) + (5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5)
P = 90 + 30
P = 120

Therefore, 120 is the perimeter of the given figure. Hence, the third option is correct.

Question : Comprehension:
Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow.

Migaloo is by far one of the world’s most recognisable whales because he is completely white. Thanks to genetic sampling of Migaloo’s skin, scientists have identified that he’s male, and his albino appearance is a result of a variation in the gene responsible for the colour of his skin.
Simply by looking different, Migaloo has become an icon within Australia’s east coast humpback whale population. Indeed, Migaloo has his own Twitter account with over 10,000 followers and a website where fans can lodge sightings and learn more about humpback whales.
He was first discovered in 1991 off Byron Bay, Australia, and has since played hide and seek for many years, with many not knowing where or when he’ll show up next. He’s even surprised Kiwi fans by showing up in New Zealand waters.
With the last official sighting two years ago, the time has once again come for us to ask: Where is Migaloo?
Already this year, there have been false sightings, such as a near-white whale spotted off New South Wales. To make things more confusing, regular-looking humpbacks can trick whale watchers when they flip upside down due to their white bellies.

Question:
Where was Migaloo first discovered?

Option 1: South Wales

Option 2: Australia

Option 3: Jamaica

Option 4: New Zealand

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Australia


Solution : The correct choice is the second option.

Explanation: The passage mentions in the first line of the third paragraph that Migaloo was first discovered in 1991 off Byron Bay, Australia. The grammatical hint directs us to focus on the information related to the location of Migaloo's first discovery.
