Option 1: incomprehensible for some

Option 2: ineffective completely

Option 3: regretted by everyone

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: implied without being stated


Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option.

The most appropriate option to substitute the underlined segment is "implied without being stated", as it captures the essence of the original sentence, indicating that the decision to engage in an armed conflict is understood without being explicitly declared.

Therefore, the correct sentence should be: The decision to engage in an armed conflict is implied without being stated.

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.
