Question : Equal sum of money are lent to X and Y at 7.5% per annum for 4 years and 5 years respectively. If the difference in interest, paid by them was Rs. 150, the sum lent to each was:

Option 1: Rs. 500

Option 2: Rs. 1000

Option 3: Rs. 2000

Option 4: Rs. 3000

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Rs. 2000


Solution : Let the sum be $\text{P}$ for both cases.
Time = 5 years and 4 years.
Difference = 150
According to the question:
By using the formula of Simple Interest: SI = $\frac{\text{P×R×T}}{100}$ where $P$ is principal, $T$ is time in years and $R$ is the rate of interest per annum.
$\frac{\text{P×7.5×5}}{100}-\frac{\text{P×7.5×4}}{100}$ = 150
⇒ $\frac{\text{7.5P}}{100}$ = 150
⇒ $\text{P}$ = Rs. 2000
Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 2000.

Question : Directions: In the following question, a series is given with one or more term(s) missing. Choose the correct alternative from the given options.
az225, cx423, ev621, _?, _?

Option 1: jq1116, kp1215

Option 2: go1314, mn126

Option 3: gt819, ir1017

Option 4: gu720, gt819

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: gt819, ir1017


Solution : Given:
az225, cx423, ev621, _?, _ ?

az225→a + 2 = c; a and z are opposite pairs; 225 + 198 = 423
cx423→c + 2 = e; c and x are opposite pairs; 423 + 198 = 621
ev621→e + 2 = g; e and v are opposite pairs; 621 + 198 = 819
gt819→g + 2 = i; g and t are opposite pairs; 819 + 198 = 1017

So, gt819 and ir1017 are the missing terms of the series. Hence, the third option is correct.

Question : Directions: Select the correct combination of mathematical signs that can sequentially replace the * signs from left to right to balance the following equation.
31 * 2 * 60 * 30 * 15 * 49

Option 1: ×, ÷, +, –, =

Option 2: ×, –, +, ÷, =

Option 3: –, ÷, +, ×, =

Option 4: ×, +, ÷, –, =

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: ×, +, ÷, –, =


Solution : Given:
31 * 2 * 60 * 30 * 15 * 49

Replace * with the mathematical signs and solve the equations one by one using BODMAS.
Let's check the options –
First options: ×, ÷, +, –, =
31 × 2 ÷ 60 + 30 – 15 = 49
On solving the L.H.S. of the given equation –
= 31 × 2 ÷ 60 + 30 – 15
= 31 × 0.033 + 30 – 15
= 1.023 + 30 – 15
= 16.023 ≠ 49
Second option: ×, –, +, ÷, =
31 × 2 – 60 + 30 ÷ 15 = 49
On solving the L.H.S. of the given equation –
= 31 × 2 – 60 + 30 ÷ 15
= 31 × 2 – 60 + 2
= 62 – 60 + 2
= 4 ≠ 49
Third option: –, ÷, +, ×, =
31 – 2 ÷ 60 + 30 × 15 = 49
On solving the L.H.S. of the given equation –
= 31 – 2 ÷ 60 + 30 × 15
= 31 – 0.033 + 30 × 15
= 31 – 0.033 + 450
= 480.967 ≠ 49
Fourth option: ×, +, ÷, –, =
31 × 2 + 60 ÷ 30 – 15 = 49
On solving the L.H.S. of the given equation –
= 31 × 2 + 60 ÷ 30 – 15
= 31 × 2 + 2 – 15
= 62 + 2 – 15
= 49

So, the fourth option satisfies the equation. Hence, the fourth option is correct.

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: (2)


Solution : The correct option is the second option.

Explanation: It conveys the idea that the slow progress was due to the process of searching for them repeatedly.

The other options are not the best choice and also they do not convey the intended meaning of the sentence.

So, the sentence should be: "Our progress was slow through having to search for them at frequent intervals."

Question : If $a= 9.6,b= 4.44,$ and $c= 5.16$, then the value of $a^3- b^3- c^3- 3 abc$ is:

Option 1: 0

Option 2: –1

Option 3: 2

Option 4: 1

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 0


Solution : Given: $a= 9.6,b= 4.44,$ and $c= 5.16$
We know,
If $a-b-c=0,$ then $a^3-b^3-c^3-3abc=0$
Here, $a-b-c=9.6-4.44-5.16=0$
So, $a^3-b^3-c^3-3abc=0$
Hence, the correct answer is 0.
