Question : Directions: Among the following words, which one will come fifth if they are arranged as per their order in an English dictionary?
1. Wink
2. Whip
3. Weary
4. Wing
5. Weigh
6. Weather

Option 1: Whip

Option 2: Wing

Option 3: Wink

Option 4: Weather

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Wing


Solution : Given:
1. Wink 2. Whip 3. Weary 4. Wing 5. Weigh 6. Weather

Step 1: Compare the first letter of each word. Since all the words start with the same letter W, then move on to the next letter.
Step 2: The second letter of each word is either e, h, or i. Based on the alphabetical order of these letters, we can arrange them –  Weary, Weigh, Weather, Whip, Wink, Wing.
Step 3: Compare the third letter of (Weary, Weigh, Weather) and the fourth letter of (Wink, Wing). Wear and Weather will come before Weigh in the sequence as a comes before i in the alphabetical system. Similarly, Wing will come before Wink as g comes before k.
Step 4: Compare the fourth letter of (Wear, Weather). Wear will come before Weather in the sequence as r comes beforein the alphabetical system.
So, the sequence is Wear, Weather, Weigh, Whip, Wing, Wink.

Therefore, Whip will come fifth if they are arranged as per their order in an English dictionary. Hence, the second option is correct.

Question : Directions: Which two signs should be interchanged to make the given equation correct?
192 × 16 + 9 – 8 ÷ 2 = 5

Option 1: × and ÷

Option 2: + and –

Option 3: × and –

Option 4: + and ÷

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: × and ÷


Solution : Given:
192 × 16 + 9 – 8 ÷ 2 = 5

Let's check the given options –
First Option: × and ÷
⇒ 192 ÷ 16 + 9 – 8 × 2 = 5
Solving the L.H.S. of the equation –
= 12 + 9 – 8 × 2
= 12 + 9 – 16
= 5
Second option: + and –
⇒ 192 × 16 – 9 + 8 ÷ 2 = 5
Solving the L.H.S. of the equation –
= 192 × 16 – 9 + 4
= 3072 – 9 + 4
= 3067 ≠ 5
Third option: × and –
⇒ 192 – 16 + 9 × 8 ÷ 2 = 5
Solving the L.H.S. of the equation –
= 192 – 16 + 9 × 4
= 192 – 16 + 36
= 212 ≠ 5
Fourth option: + and ÷
⇒ 192 × 16 ÷ 9 – 8 + 2 = 5
Solving the L.H.S. of the equation –
= 192 × 1.78 – 8 + 2
= 341.76 – 8 + 2
= 335.76 ≠ 5

So, only the first option satisfies the given equation. Hence, the first option is correct.

Question : Two chords AB and CD of a circle intersect each other at P internally. If AP = 3.5 cm, PC = 5 cm, and DP = 7 cm, then what is the measure of PB?

Option 1: 8 cm

Option 2: 12 cm

Option 3: 10 cm

Option 4: 10.5 cm

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 10 cm


Solution :

AP = 3.5 cm
PC = 5 cm
DP = 7 cm
AP × PB = PC × PD
3.5 × PB = 5 × 7
⇒ PB = $\frac{35}{3.5}$
⇒ PB = 10 cm
Hence, the correct answer is 10 cm.

Question : The given chart shows the distribution of the marks scored by Ram in five different subjects (in percentage).


What is the ratio of the central angle of Maths to the central angle of Science?

Option 1: 5 : 2

Option 2: 2 : 3

Option 3: 4 : 3

Option 4: 3 : 5

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 2 : 3


Solution : According to the question
For maths:
⇒ $\theta$ for maths = $\frac{20}{100}$ × 360° = 72°
For Science
⇒ $\theta$ for science = $\frac{30}{100}$ × 360° = 108°
Ratio = $\frac{\theta ~\text {for maths}}{\theta ~\text{for science}}$ = $\frac{72°}{108°}$  = $\frac{2}{3}$ = 2 : 3
Hence,  the correct answer is 2 : 3.

Question : If $x^2-3x+1=0$, what is the value of $(x^4+\frac{1}{x^4})$?

Option 1: $11$

Option 2: $18$

Option 3: $47$

Option 4: $51$

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $47$


Solution : Given: $x^2-3x+1=0$
Divide both sides by $x$, we get,
$⇒ x-3+\frac{1}{x}=0$
$\therefore x+\frac{1}{x}=3$
Squaring both sides, we get,
$⇒(x+\frac{1}{x})^2=3^2$
$⇒x^2+\frac{1}{x^2}+2×x×\frac{1}{x}=9$
$\therefore x^2+\frac{1}{x^2}=7$
Again squaring both sides, we get,
$⇒(x^2+\frac{1}{x^2})^2=7^2$
$⇒x^4+\frac{1}{x^4}+2×x^2×\frac{1}{x^2}=49$
$⇒(x^4+\frac{1}{x^4})=49-2$
$\therefore(x^4+\frac{1}{x^4})=47$
Hence, the correct answer is $47$.

Question : Directions: In the following question, some parts of the sentence may have some errors. Find out which part of the sentence has an error and select the appropriate option. If the sentence is free from error, select "No error".

If you hear (1) / engaged tone (2) / replace the receiver and dial again. (3) / No error (4)

Option 1: (1)

Option 2: (2)

Option 3: (3)

Option 4: (4)

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: (2)


Solution : The error lies in the second part of the sentence.

"Engaged tone" should be preceded by the indefinite article "an" to indicate that it is referring to one of the several possible engaged tones that someone might hear. Moreover, the article "an" is used with words starting with a vowel sound.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: "If you hear an engaged tone, replace the receiver and dial again."
