Option 1: JHFA

Option 2: MKHD

Option 3: XVSO

Option 4: NLIE

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: JHFA


Solution : Let's check each option –
First option: JHFA; J – 2 = H; H – 2 = F; F – 5 = A
Second option: MKHD; M – 2 = K; K – 3 = H; H – 4 = D
Third option: XVSO; X – 2 = V; V – 3 = S; S – 4 = O
Fourth option: NLIE; N – 2 = L – 3 = I; I – 4 = E

So, the first option is different from the other three options because the difference in the place values of the letters is different. Hence, the first option is correct.

Question : Directions: A word is represented by only one set of numbers as given in any one of the alternatives. The sets of numbers given in the alternatives are represented by two classes of alphabets as in the two matrices, given below. The columns and rows of Matrix (I) are numbered from 0 to 4 and that of Matrix (II) are numbered from 5 to 9. A letter from these matrices can be represented first by its row and next by its column, e.g. A can be represented by 01, 20, etc, and B can be represented by 56, 65, etc. Similarly, you have to identify the set for the word, SILK.

Option 1: 76, 67, 33, 68

Option 2: 76, 66, 33, 68

I→55, 86, 67, 98, 79
L→20, 01, 32, 13, 44
K→75, 56, 87, 68, 99

Let's check the options –
First option76, 67, 33, 68 – L cannot be represented by 33.
Second option76, 66, 33, 68 – I and L cannot be represented as 66 and 33.
Third option76, 67, 32, 68 – All the letters of the word SILK can be represented through this option.
Fourth option76, 67, 32, 65 – K cannot be represented as 65.

So, only the third option consists of the numbers through which SILK can be represented. Hence, the third option is correct.

Question : Select the most appropriate ANTONYM of the underlined word in the given sentence.

Jason was sent to school in England, where he excelled academically and developed an interest in theatre and writing.

Option 1: accomplished

Option 2: pursued

Option 3: continued

Option 4: failed

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: failed


Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • Accomplished: This word means skilled, proficient, or successful.
  • Pursued: This word means to follow or chase.
  • Continued: This word means to persist or carry on.
Therefore, the correct sentence would be: "Jason was sent to school in England, where he failed academically."

Question : Directions: If A denotes addition, B denotes multiplication, C denotes subtraction, and D denotes division, then what will be the value of the following expression?
35 B 2 A 5 B (40 C 37) A (8 B 4) D 16 C 14 = ?

Option 1: 66

Option 2: 54

Option 3: 73

Option 4: 56

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 73


Solution : Given:
35 B 2 A 5 B (40 C 37) A (8 B 4) D 16 C 14 = ?

On replacing the letters with the mathematical signs as per the instructions given in the question, we get –
= 35 × 2 + 5 × (40 – 37) + (8 × 4) ÷ 16 – 14
= 35 × 2 + 5 × 3 + 32 ÷ 16 – 14
= 35 × 2 + 5 × 3 + 2 – 14
= 70 + 15 + 2 – 14
= 87 – 14 = 73

So, 73 is the required answer. Hence, the third option is correct.

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Solution : The correct choice is the second option.

  • The word "signed" is incorrect in this context. It should be replaced with "sang" to make the sentence grammatically correct and convey the intended meaning. 
  • Signed is the past tense of the verb "sign", which means to write one's name on a document, letter, or other surfaces as an official indication of one's approval, consent, or agreement.
  • Sang is the past tense of the verb "sing"which means to produce musical sounds with the voice.

Therefore, the correct sentence should be: "The young child sang a very sweet song for the audience."
