Question : Directions: Find the missing number from the given responses in the following question.

Option 1: 22

Option 2: 63

Option 3: 190

Option 4: 55

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 63


Solution : Multiply the number of rows one, row two, and row three by 3 to get the number in the second row, third row, and fourth row respectively.

In the first column: 3 × 3 = 9 and 9 × 3 = 27 and 27 × 3 = 81
In the second column: 6 × 3 = 18 and 18 × 3 = 54 and 54 × 3 = 162
Similarly, follow the same pattern in the third column: 7 × 3 = 21, 21 × 3 = 63, and 63 × 3 = 189

So, 63 is the missing number in the given figure. Hence, the second option is correct.

Question : The total surface area of a cone whose radius is 3 cm and height is 4 cm is:

Option 1: $\frac{425}{7} \mathrm{~cm}^2$

Option 2: $\frac{501}{9} \mathrm{~cm}^2$

Option 3: $\frac{475}{8} \mathrm{~cm}^2$

Option 4: $\frac{528}{7} \mathrm{~cm}^2$

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\frac{528}{7} \mathrm{~cm}^2$


Solution : Radius ($r$) = 3 cm and height ($h$) = 4 cm
Let $l$ be the slant height of the cone.
We know, $l^2 = r^2 + h^2$
$⇒l^2 = 3^2 + 4^2$
$\therefore l= 5$ cm
$\therefore$ Total surface area $=\pi r(r+l)=\frac{22}{7} \times 3 \times(3+ 5)=\frac{528}{7}\ \text{cm}^2$
Hence the correct answer is $\frac{528}{7}\ \text{cm}^2$.

Question : Comprehension:
Read the given passage carefully and answer the questions that follow.

As the world's population approaches 8 billion and resource use intensifies, pollution is becoming more extensive, pervasive, and persistent. It affects our health through the food we eat, the water we drink, and the air we breathe. By 2025, the world's cities will produce 2.2 billion metric tonnes of waste every year, more than three times the amount produced in 2009. That said, pollution is not a new phenomenon and is largely controllable and often avoidable, as shown in some countries and cities that have succeeded in decoupling economic growth from pollution and waste accumulation.

With the end goal of eradicating all forms of pollution by 2030, the UN Environment Programme was tasked by the UN Environment Assembly to coordinate the implementation of a global plan reiterating that pollution is not only an environmental priority, it's a priority for the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals.

Question:
Which is the best description of the tone of the passage?

Option 1: Technical

Option 2: Sarcastic

Option 3: Dogmatic

Option 4: Humanistic

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Humanistic


Solution : The correct answer is the fourth option.

The best description of the tone of the passage is likely "humanistic". The passage discusses the challenges of pollution and its impact on health and the environment and emphasises the goal of eradicating all forms of pollution by 2030 for the well-being of humanity. The tone appears to be concerned with the welfare of people and the planet.

Therefore, the tone of the passage is humanistic.

Question : A jet engine works on the principle of conservation of________.

Option 1: heat

Option 2: mass

Option 3: linear momentum

Option 4: angular momentum

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: linear momentum


Solution : The correct answer is linear momentum.

The jet engine works on the principle of conservation of linear momentum. It produces a large amount of gas, while the combustion of fuel, which escapes from the back of the jet, moves it forward at high speed.

Question : Directions: Select the related number from the given alternatives.
I : 9 :: ? : 13

Option 1: J

Option 2: M

Option 3: L

Option 4: K

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: M


Solution : Given:
I : 9 :: ? : 13

Like, I : 9→I is the 9th letter of the English alphabet.
Similarly, for (?) : 13→M is the 13th letter of the English alphabet.

So, M is related to 13. Hence, the second option is correct.

Question : Comprehension:
Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow.

What if globally designed products could radically change how we work, produce and consume? Several examples across continents show the way we are producing and consuming goods could be improved by relying on globally shared digital resources, such as design, knowledge and software.
Imagine a prosthetic hand designed by geographically dispersed communities of scientists, designers and enthusiasts in a collaborative manner via the web. All knowledge and software related to the hand is shared globally as a digital commons. People from all over the world who are connected online and have access to local manufacturing machines (from 3D printing and CNC machines to low-tech crafts and tools) can, ideally with the help of an expert, manufacture a customised hand. This is the case of the Open Bionics project, which produces designs for robotic and bionic devices.
There are no patent costs to pay for. Less transportation of materials is needed, since a considerable part of the manufacturing takes place locally; maintenance is easier, products are designed to last as long as possible, and costs are thus much lower.

Question:
Identify the most suitable title for the given passage.

Option 1: knowledge Explosion

Option 2: customised Hand

Option 3: shared Information

Option 4: digital globalisation

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: digital globalisation


Solution : The fourth option is the correct answer.

The most suitable title for the given passage is "Digital Globalisation" because the passage discusses how globally shared digital resources, such as design, knowledge, and software, are changing the way products are produced and consumed. The examples provided, such as the Open Bionics project, illustrate a collaborative approach facilitated by digital technologies, emphasising a shift in the global landscape of production and consumption.

Therefore, the correct answer is digital globalisation.
