Question : Select the most appropriate option that can substitute the underlined segment in the given sentence. If there is no need to substitute it, select 'No substitution required'
The unexpected turn beside the project put the company in a big financial crisis.

Option 1: in the project

Option 2: until the project

Option 3: No substitution required

Option 4: between the project

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: in the project


Solution : The first option is the correct answer.

The phrase "beside the project" is less precise and may be confusing, as it doesn't clearly convey the relationship between the unexpected turn and the project itself. The substitution "in the project" better aligns with the likely intended meaning, indicating that the unexpected turn occurred within the project and had significant financial consequences for the company.

Therefore, the correct sentence should be: The unexpected turn in the project put the company in a big financial crisis.

Question : $\sqrt{\frac{5}{4}×\frac{64}{125}×1.44}$ is equal to:

Option 1: $\frac{26}{25}$

Option 2: $\frac{24}{25}$

Option 3: $\frac{23}{25}$

Option 4: $\frac{21}{25}$

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\frac{24}{25}$


Solution : $\sqrt{\frac{5}{4} × \frac{64}{125} × 1.44}$
= $\sqrt{\frac{5}{4} × \frac{64}{125} × \frac{144}{100}}$
= $\sqrt{\frac{16}{25} × \frac{144}{100}}$
= $\sqrt{\frac{4×4}{5×5} × \frac{12 × 12}{10 × 10}}$
= $\frac{4}{5} × \frac{12}{10}$
= $\frac{24}{25}$
Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{24}{25}$.

Question : The price of an article is first increased by 25% and later on, the price was decreased by 30% due to a reduction in sales. Find the net percentage change in the final price of the article.

Option 1: 11.5% increased

Option 2: 14% decreased

Option 3: 13% increased

Option 4: 12.5% decreased

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 12.5% decreased


Solution : Let the original price of the article be 100.
After a 25% increase, the new price $=100 + 25 = 125$
Then, a 30% decrease on the new price $=125 - \frac{30}{100}\times 125 = 87.5$
The net percentage change $=\frac{{\text{Final price} - \text{Initial price}}}{\text{Initial price}} \times 100$
$=\frac{{87.5-100}}{{100}} \times 100 = -12.5%$
Hence, the correct answer is 12.5% decreased.

Question : If $x$ is subtracted from each of the numbers 20, 37, 54 and 105, then the numbers so obtained in this order are in proportion. What is the mean proportional between $(7 x-5)$ and $(x+1) $?

Option 1: 8

Option 2: 9

Option 3: 6

Option 4: 12

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 8


Solution : If $x$ is subtracted from each of the numbers 20, 37, 54 and 105, then the numbers so obtained in this order are in proportion.
So, $\frac{(20-x)}{(37-x)} = \frac{(54-x)}{(105-x)}$
$⇒[(20-x)(105-x)]=[(54-x)(37-x)]$
$⇒34x=102$
$⇒x = 3$
The mean proportional between $(7x-5)$ and $(x+1)$ is the square root of their product. So, the mean proportional is $\sqrt{(7x-5)(x+1)}$.
Substituting $x = 3$ into the above expression, we get $\sqrt{(7\times3-5)(3+1)} = \sqrt{(16)(4)} = 8$
Hence, the correct answer is 8.
