Question : A person observes that the angle of elevation at the top of a pole of height 5 metres is 30°. Then the distance of the person from the pole is:

Option 1: $5\sqrt3$ metres

Option 2: $\frac{5}{\sqrt3}$ metres

Option 3: $\sqrt3$ metres

Option 4: $10\sqrt3$ metres

Team Careers360 24th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $5\sqrt3$ metres


Solution : Given: A person observes that the angle of elevation at the top of a pole of height 5 metres is 30°.
We know the formula, $\tan\theta = \frac{\text{Height}}{\text{Base}} = \frac{\text{Height of tower}}{\text{Distance of person from pole}}$

In $\triangle ACB$, $\tan\ 30°=\frac{AB}{BC}$
⇒ $\tan30° =

Question : A passenger train, 150 m long, is travelling at a speed of 36 km/hr. If a man is cycling in the direction of a train at 9 km/hr, the time taken by the train to pass the man is:

Option 1: 10 seconds

Option 2: 15 seconds

Option 3: 18 seconds

Option 4: 20 seconds

Team Careers360 23rd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 20 seconds


Solution : Distance to be covered = 150 m
Relative speed = 36 – 9 = 27 km/hr = 27 × $\frac{5}{18}$ = $\frac{15}{2}$ m/s
$\therefore$ Time = $\frac{\text{length of the train}}{\text{Relative Speed}}$ = $\frac{150}{\frac{15}{2}}$ = 20 seconds
Hence, the correct answer is 20 seconds.

Question : If the area of the base of a cone is 154 cm2 and the area of its curved surface is 550 cm2, then its volume is:

Option 1: 1232 cm3

Option 2: 1122 cm3

Option 3: 1434 cm3

Option 4: 1535 cm3

Team Careers360 23rd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 1232 cm3


Solution : Given: Area of the base of a cone = 154 cm2
Curved surface area of cone = 550 cm2
We know that,
Area of the base of the cone with radius $r=\pi r^2$
⇒ $\pi r^2 = 154$
⇒ $\frac{22}{7}\times r^2

Question : The given pie chart represents the popularity of ice-cream flavours in the year 2015.

In 2015, if the total sale of the vanilla flavour is INR 3,300, then the total sale (in INR) for the chocolate flavour is:

Option 1: INR 3,320

Option 2: INR 4,120

Option 3: INR 4,100

Option 4: INR 5,160

Team Careers360 22nd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: INR 5,160


Solution : Total sales of vanilla flavour = INR 3,300
16.5% of the total sales of ice cream flavours = 3300
1% of total sale of ice cream flavours = $\frac{3300}{0.165}$ = 20000
Total sales of chocolate flavour = 25.8% of 20000 = 5160
Hence, the
