1 22
2 15
3 6
4 2

The average number of children per family is :

Option 1: 1.47

Option 2: 1.59

Option 3: 1.23

Option 4: 1.72

Team Careers360 22nd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 1.59


Solution : Average number of children per family
$=\frac{\sum{\text{Number of children}\times\text{Number of families}}}{\sum{\text{Total number of families}}}$
$=\frac{0\times4+1\times22+2\times15+3\times6+4\times2}{4+22+15+6+2}$
$=\frac{22+30+18+8}{49}$
$=\frac{78}{49}$
$=1.59$
Hence, the correct answer is 1.59.

Question : One side of a rhombus is 13 cm and one of its diagonals is 24 cm. What is the area (in cm2) of the rhombus?

Option 1: 120

Option 2: 90

Option 3: 30

Option 4: 60

Team Careers360 20th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 120


Solution : Side of the rhombus = 13 cm
One of the diagonals = 24 cm
$side^2 = (\frac{d_1}{2})^2+(\frac{d_2}{2})^2$
⇒ $13^2=(\frac{24}{2})^2+(\frac{d_2}{2})^2$
⇒ $169=144+(\frac{d_2}{2})^2$
⇒ $(\frac{d_2}{2})^2=25$
⇒ $\frac{d_2}{2}=5$
⇒ $d_2=10$
Area of a rhombus = $\frac{d_1 × d_2}{2}$
= $\frac{24\times10}{2}$
= $120\ cm^2$
Hence, the correct answer Is

Question : The ratio of the speeds of Aman, Kamal, and Manan is $4:5:6$, respectively. What is the ratio of the time taken by Aman, Kamal, and Manan, respectively, to cover the same distance?

Option 1: $10:12:15$

Option 2: $6:5:4$

Option 3: $4:5:6$

Option 4: $15:12:10$

Team Careers360 15th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $15:12:10$


Solution : Required ratio = $(\frac{1}{4}):(\frac{1}{5}):(\frac{1}{6})$
= $(\frac{1}{4}×60):(\frac{1}{5}×60):(\frac{1}{6}×60)$ [Multiplying each fraction by LCM of (4, 5 and 6) i.e., 60]
= $15:12:10$
Hence, the correct answer is $15:12:10$.

Question : What is $(0.08 \% \text { of } 0.008 \% \text { of } 8)^{\frac1 9} ?$

Option 1: 0.2

Option 2: 0.08

Option 3: 0.8

Option 4: 0.64

Team Careers360 14th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 0.2


Solution : $(0.08 \% \text { of } 0.008 \% \text { of } 8)^{\frac{1}{9}}$
$= (8 × \frac{0.008}{100} × \frac{0.08}{100})^{\frac{1}{9}}$
$= [\frac{8 × 8 × 8}{100 × 1000 × 100 × 100}]^{\frac{1}{9}}$
$= [(\frac{2}{10})^9]^{\frac{1}{9}}$
$=\frac{2}{10}$
$​​​​​​​= 0.2$
​​​​​​​Hence, the correct answer is 0.2.

Question : Two numbers are in the ratio 3 : 4. The product of their HCF and LCM is 2700. The sum of the numbers is:

Option 1: 60

Option 2: 105

Option 3: 15

Option 4: 45

Team Careers360 21st Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 105


Solution : Let the numbers be 3$x$ and 4$x$
Use: HCF × LCM = Product of the numbers
According to the question
⇒ HCF(3$x$, 4$x$) × LCM(3$x$,4$x$) = 2700
Now,
 HCF(3$x$, 4$x$) = $x$
 LCM(3$x$, 4$x$) = 12$x$
So,
⇒ $x× 12x = 2700$
⇒ $12x^{2} =
