Question : The area of a rectangular field is 480 m2. If the length is 20% more than the breadth, then the length of the rectangular field is:

Option 1: 30 m

Option 2: 20 m

Option 3: 24 m

Option 4: 27 m

Team Careers360 24th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 24 m


Solution : Given: The area of a rectangular field = $480\ m^2$
Let the breadth be $10x$
Length is 20% more than breadth = $\frac{120}{100}\times10x$
$= 12x$
Area of the rectangle = length × breadth
⇒ $480 = 10x \times 12x$
⇒ $480 = 120x^2$

Question : A boy goes from home to school at a speed of 30 km/hr and returns back at a speed of 70 km/hr. What is his average speed for the journey?

Option 1: 42 km/hr

Option 2: 48 km/hr

Option 3: 38 km/hr

Option 4: 36 km/hr

Team Careers360 22nd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 42 km/hr


Solution : Given: Going speed = 30 km/hr
Returning speed = 70 km/hr
We know that,
$\text{Average speed} =\frac{2S_1S_2}{S_1+S_2}=\frac{2×30×70}{30+70}=42$ km/hr
Hence, the correct answer is 42 km/hr.

Question : In $\triangle ABC, \angle B=90^{\circ}$ and AB : BC = 1 : 2. The value of $\cos A+\tan C$ is:

Option 1: $\frac{5+\sqrt{5}}{2 \sqrt{5}}$

Option 2: $\frac{1+\sqrt{5}}{2 \sqrt{5}}$

Option 3: $\frac{2 \sqrt{5}}{2+\sqrt{5}}$

Option 4: $\frac{2+\sqrt{5}}{2 \sqrt{5}}$

Team Careers360 24th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\frac{2+\sqrt{5}}{2 \sqrt{5}}$


Solution :

In $\triangle ABC, \angle B=90^{\circ}$
AB : BC = 1 : 2
⇒ $\frac{\text{AB}}{\text{BC}} = \frac{1}{2}$
⇒ $\frac{\text{AB}}{1} = \frac{\text{BC}}{2}=$ k
⇒ AB = k, BC = 2k
Using the Pythagoras theorem,
AC$^2$ = BC$^2$ + AB$^2$ = (2k)$^2$ + k$^2$ = 5k$^2$
So,

Question : If a certain sum becomes 3 times in 6 years at compound interest, then in how many years, it will become 81 times?

Option 1: 81 years

Option 2: 162 years

Option 3: 27 years

Option 4: 24 years

Team Careers360 21st Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 24 years


Solution : By applying the formula: Amount = P[$(1+\frac{r}{100})^n$] where P is principal, $r$ is the rate of interest compounded annually for $n$ years.
Let the sum be $x$, then:
Amount = $x(1+\frac{r}{100})^6 = 3x$
⇒ $(1+\frac{r}{100})^6 = \frac{3x}{x}=3$
⇒ $(1+\frac{r}{100}) =3^\frac{1}{6}$
Now, the sum becomes

Question : What will be the amount of Rs. 12500 at the rate of 20% per annum compounded yearly for 3 years?

Option 1: Rs. 21080

Option 2: Rs. 21560

Option 3: Rs. 20600

Option 4: Rs. 21600

Team Careers360 21st Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Rs. 21600


Solution : Principal, P = Rs. 12500
Rate of interest, $r$ = 20%
Time, $n$ = 3 years
According to the question,
Amount = P[$(1+\frac{r}{100})^n$], where P is principal, $r$ is the rate of interest compounded annually for $n$ years.
⇒ Amount = 12500$(1+\frac{20}{100})^3$
= 12500$(\frac{6}{5})^3$
