WORLD, XPSME, ?, ZRUOG

Option 1: YQTNF

Option 2: YRTNF

Option 3: YTQNF

Option 4: YQNTF

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: YQTNF


Solution : Given:
WORLD, XPSME, ?, ZRUOG

Add 1 to the place value of each letter of the previous term to obtain the next term –
WORLD→W + 1 = X; O + 1 = P; R + 1 = S; L + 1 = M; D + 1 = E
XPSME→X + 1 = Y; P + 1 = Q; S + 1 = T; M + 1 = N; E + 1 = F
YQTNF→Y + 1 = Z; Q + 1 = R; T + 1 = U; N + 1 = O; F + 1 = G

So, YQTNF is the missing term. Hence, the first option is correct.

Option 4:

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer:


Solution : In the 3D view of dice,

Question : In an equilateral $\triangle$ PQR, S is the point on the side QR such that QR = 3QS. If PQ = 9 cm, then what will be the length (in cm) of PS?

Option 1: $\sqrt{60} $

Option 2: $\sqrt{63}$

Option 3: $\sqrt{62}$

Option 4: $\sqrt{61}$

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\sqrt{63}$


Solution :
Draw PT perpendicular to QR.
PT = $\frac{\sqrt3}{2}\times 9=\frac{9\sqrt3}{2}$ cm
QT = $\frac{9}{2}$ cm
Given, QR = 3QS ⇒ QS = $\frac{9}{3}$ = 3 cm
ST = QT – QS =$\frac{9}{2} -3$ = $\frac{3}{2}$
Using Pythagoras' theorem: Hypotenuse2 = Base2 + Perpendicular2
PS2 = PT + ST2
(PS)2 = $(\frac{9\sqrt3}{2})^2 + (\frac{3}{2})^2$
⇒ $(PS)^2=\frac{243}{4} + \frac{9}{4}$
⇒ $(PS)^2=\frac{252}{4}$
⇒ $(PS)^2=63$
⇒ $PS=\sqrt{63}$
Hence, the correct answer is $\sqrt{63}$ cm.

Question : Directions:  Select the option that represents the letters which, when sequentially placed from left to right in the blanks below, will complete the letter series.
_ L _ _ K S _ T U _ S L _ _ K

Option 1: L U S K T U K

Option 2: U T S K T L U

Option 3: S T U L K T U

Option 4: K T U L U T S

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: S T U L K T U


Solution : Given:
_ L _ _ K S _ T U _ S L _ _ K

To fill the series we have to divide the series –    _ L _ _ K / S _ T U _ / S L _ _ K
Let's check each option –
First option: L U S K T U K;  L L U S K / S K T U T / S L U K K (No repeated pattern has been found)
Second option: U T S K T L U; U L T S K / S K T U T / S L L U K (No repeated pattern has been found)
Third option: S T U L K T U;  S L T U K / S L T U K / S L T U K (SLTUK is repeated in the series)
Fourth option: K T U L U T S; K L T U K / S L T U U / S L T S K (No repeated pattern has been found)

So, the series becomes→S L T U K S L T U K S L T U K. Hence, the third option is correct.
