Question : When did the Soviet Union disintegrate into 15 independent Republics?

Option 1: 1990

Option 2: 1991

Option 3: 1992

Option 4: 1993

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 1991


Solution : The correct answer is 1991.

On December 26, 1991, the Soviet Union underwent dissolution, resulting in the formation of 15 separate and sovereign republics. This significant occurrence signified the official demise of the USSR and paved the way for the establishment of independent nations like Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Kazakhstan, and several more. The fall of the Berlin Wall started a series of events that led to the disintegration of the Soviet Union. This was also the year when a major financial reform was started in India.

Question : Directions: In a code language, WINNER is written as XJOOFS, and RALLY is written as SBMMZ. How will CARTOON be written in that language?

Option 1: DBSOPPU

Option 2: CAPTOON

Option 3: DBSUPPO

Option 4: CAPNOOT

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: DBSUPPO


Solution : Given:
WINNER is written as XJOOFS, and RALLY is written as SBMMZ.

Add 1 to each letter of WINNER, to obtain the required code –
W + 1 = X; I + 1 = J; N + 1 = O; N + 1 = O; E + 1 = F; R + 1 = S
Thus, WINNER is coded as XJOOFS.
And, RALLY is written as SBMMZ.
R + 1 = S; A + 1 = B; L + 1 = M; L + 1 = M; Y + 1 = Z
Thus, RALLY is coded as SBMMZ.
Similarly, follow the same pattern for CARTOON –
C + 1 = D; A + 1 = B; R + 1 = S; T + 1 = U; O + 1 = P; O + 1 = P; N + 1 = O

So, CARTOON is coded as DBSUPPO. Hence, the third option is correct.

Option 1: 24 – 6 

Option 2: 48 – 12

Option 3: 72 – 24 

Option 4: 44 – 11

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 72 – 24 


Solution : Let's check the options –
First option: 24 – 6; 24 ÷ 6 = 4
Second option: 48 – 12; 48 ÷ 12 = 4
Third option: 72 – 24; ​​​​72 ÷ 24 = 3 
Fourth option: 44 – 11; 44 ÷ 11 = 4

So, the third option is different from the other options as the quotient after division is 4 in all the options except the third one. Hence, the third option is correct.

Question : Study the graph and answer the question.



What percentage of the total number of workers in the factory is the number of workers whose weekly earnings are INR 6,500 or above but less than INR 8,500? (Your answer should be correct to one decimal place.)

Option 1: 50.2

Option 2: 42.6

Option 3: 35.8

Option 4: 49.3

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 49.3


Solution : The total number of workers in the factory are
= 60 + 85 + 95 + 105 + 90 + 80 + 70 + 65 + 50 = 700
Number of workers whose weekly earnings are INR 6500 or above but less than INR 8,500
= 105 + 90 + 80 + 70 = 345
Required percentage = $\frac{345}{700} \times 100$
= 49.3%
Hence, the correct answer is 49.3.

Question : Directions: In the following question, select the number that can be placed at the sign of the question mark (?) from the given alternatives.

  3   11   5  45
  2    4   6  44
  3    7   8   ?

Option 1: 72

Option 2: 76

Option 3: 80

Option 4: 84

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 80


Solution : In the row, add the square of the first and the third number and the add second number to the resultant number to obtain the fourth number.

In the first row: 32 + 5= 9 + 25 = 34 and 34 + 11 = 45
In the second row: 22 + 6= 4 + 36 = 40 and 40 + 4 = 44
Similarly, in the third row: 32 + 8= 9 + 64 = 73 and 73 + 7 = 80

So, 80 is the missing number in the given figure. Hence, the third option is correct.

Question : A person crosses a 900-metre-long street in 6 minutes. The speed of the person, in km/hr, is:

Option 1: 10

Option 2: 9

Option 3: 5

Option 4: 8

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 9


Solution : Given,
Length of the street = 900 m = 0.9 km
Time = 6 min = $\frac{6}{60}$ hours = $\frac{1}{10}$ hours
We know,
Speed = $\frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}}$
= $\frac{0.9}{\frac{1}{10}}$ km/hr
= 9 km/hr
Hence, the correct answer is 9.

Question : Directions: In a code language, if I like chocolates is written as 958, We bought chocolates is written as 153, and We like them is written as 816, then how would I bought them be written in this language?

Option 1: 936

Option 2: 859

Option 3: 951

Option 4: 251

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 936


Solution : Given:
1. I like chocolates ⇒ 958
2. We bought chocolates ⇒ 153
3. We like them ⇒ 816

By comparing all the above–coded sentences, we find that –
In sentences 1 and 2, chocolates is a common word and 5 is a common code.
In sentences 2 and 3, We are a common word and is a common code.
In sentences 1 and 3, like is a common word and is a common code.
The remaining word and code are in sentence 1 I and 9; in sentence 2 bought, and 3; and in sentence 3 them and 6.
Finally, chocolates ⇒ 5; We ⇒ 1, like ⇒ 8, I ⇒ 9, bought ⇒ 3, them ⇒ 6

So, I bought them will be coded as 936. Hence, the first option is correct.
