Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: (3)


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

When one is used in a sentence, it is always followed by the indefinite pronoun one to make the sentence grammatically accurate. Thus, he should be replaced with one.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: "When one hears of the incident about the plane crash, one feels very sorry."

Question : Directions: In the following question, a series is given with one (or more) number(s)/alphabet missing. Choose the correct alternative from the given options.
J2Z, K4X, L7V, M11T, ?

Option 1: O17R

Option 2: N17S

Option 3: R16N

Option 4: N16R

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: N16R


Solution : Given:
J2Z, K4X, L7V, M11T, ?

Add 1 to the place value of the first letter and add consecutive natural numbers starting from 2 to the number of the previous term respectively, and subtract 2 from the third letter to obtain the next term in the series –
J2Z→J + 1 = K; 2 + 2 = 4; Z – 2 = X→K4X
K4X→K + 1 = L; 4 + 3 = 7; X – 2 = V→L7V
L7V→L + 1 = M; 7 + 4 = 11; V – 2 = T→M11T
M11T→M + 1 = N; 11 + 5 = 16; T – 2 = R→N16R

So, N16R is the missing term of the series. Hence, the fourth option is correct.

Question : If $\cot \theta=\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}, 0^{\circ}<\theta<90^{\circ}$, then the value of $\frac{2-\sin ^2 \theta}{1-\cos ^2 \theta}+\left(\operatorname{cosec}^2 \theta-\sec \theta\right)$ is:

Option 1: 0

Option 2: 2

Option 3: 5

Option 4: 1

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 1


Solution : $\cot \theta=\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$
⇒ $\theta=60^{\circ}$
So, $\frac{2-\sin ^2 \theta}{1-\cos ^2 \theta}+\left(\operatorname{cosec}^2 \theta-\sec \theta\right)$
= $\frac{2-\sin ^2 60^{\circ}}{1-\cos ^2 60^{\circ}}+\left(\operatorname{cosec}^2 60^{\circ} -\sec 60^{\circ}\right)$
= $\frac{2- \frac{3}{4}}{1-\frac{1}{4}}+\frac{4}{3} -2$
= $\frac{\frac{5}{4}}{\frac{3}{4}}+\frac{4}{3} -2$
= $\frac{5}{3}+\frac{4}{3} -2$
= $\frac{9}{3} -2$
= 3 – 2
= 1
Hence, the correct answer is 1.

The number of families whose monthly expenditures on education are INR 2,500 or more but below INR 4,000 is what percentage more than the number of families whose monthly expenditures on education are INR 4,500 or more but below INR 6,000?

Option 1: 37.6

Option 2: 27.3

Option 3: 29.8

Option 4: 36.4

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 37.6


Solution : Number of families whose monthly expenditure on education is INR 2500 or more but below INR 4000 = 47 + 55 + 70 = 172
Number of families whose monthly expenditures on education are INR 4500 or more but below INR 6000 = 52 + 43 + 30 =125 
Required percentage gain = $\frac{172 - 125}{125}\times 100\% = 37.6\%$
Hence, the correct answer is 37.6.

Option 2: 36

Option 3: 90

Option 4: 63

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

= 0.14 × 450 = 63
Hence, the correct answer is 63.

Question : The remainder when 72 × 73 × 78 × 76 is divided by 35 is:

Option 1: 12

Option 2: 15

Option 3: 22

Option 4: 8

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 8


Solution : (72 × 73 × 78 × 76) divided by 35
We divide every number individually by 35, then the total remainder is also divided by 35 to get the required remainder.
$\frac{(72 × 73 × 78 × 76)}{35}$
⇒ $\frac{(2 × 3 × 8 × 6)}{35}$
⇒ $\frac{288}{35}$
⇒ $\frac{8}{35}$
Since 8 cannot be divided further by 35
$\therefore$ The required remainder is 8.
Hence, the correct answer is 8.
