Solution : The fourth option is the correct choice.

The context describes tigers as powerful hunters with certain characteristics. In this context, the word sharp is a fitting choice for the blank, as it complements the idea of powerful hunters, referring to sharp teeth. This adjective adds to the description of the tiger's physical attributes, emphasising the sharpness of their teeth.

Therefore, the correct answer is sharp.

Question : The discovery and understanding of electromagnetic induction is based on a long series of experiments carried out by ______.

Option 1: Planck and Fermi

Option 2: Einstein

Option 3: Faraday and Henry

Option 4: Rutherford

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Faraday and Henry


Solution : The correct answer is Faraday and Henry.

The exploration and comprehension of electromagnetic induction resulted from extensive experiments conducted by Michael Faraday and Joseph Henry. Through their observations, Faraday deduced that an electromotive force (emf) is generated when there is a dynamic change in magnetic flux across a coil over time. This groundbreaking insight laid the foundation for the principles of electromagnetic induction, influencing the development of various electrical devices and technologies.

Question : Directions: If + means −, − means ×, × means ÷ and ÷ means +, what will come in place of (?) in the following equation?
79 ÷ 64 × 8 − 7 + 12 = ?

Option 1: 123

Option 2: 117

Option 3: 138

Option 4: 147

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 123


Solution : Given:
+ means −, − means ×, × means ÷ and ÷ means +
79 ÷ 64 × 8 − 7 + 12 = ?

After interchanging the given mathematical signs, we get –
⇒ 79 + 64 ÷ 8 × 7 – 12
⇒ 79 + 8 × 7 – 12
⇒ 79 + 56 – 12
= 123

So, 123 is the answer to the given equation. Hence, the first option is correct.

Question : Directions: Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as the numbers of the following sets.
(NOTE: Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into their constituent digits. E.g. 13-Operations on 13 such as adding/subtracting/multiplying etc. to 13 can be performed. Breaking down 13 into 1 and 3 and then performing mathematical operations on 1 and 3 is NOT allowed.)
(7, 35, 42); (4, 20, 24)

Option 1: (8, 56, 72)

Option 2: (6, 36, 48)

Option 3: (9, 45, 54)

Option 4: (12, 60, 48)

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: (9, 45, 54)


Solution : Given:
(7, 35, 42); (4, 20, 24)

Like, (7, 35, 42)→7 × 5 = 35; 7 × 6 = 42
(4, 20, 24)→(4 × 5) = 20; 4 × 6 = 24

Let's check the options –
First option: (8, 56, 72)→8 × 5 = 40 ≠ 56; 8 × 6 = 48 ≠ 72
Second option: (6, 36, 48)→6 × 5 = 30 ≠ 36; 6 × 6 = 36 ≠ 48
Third option: (9, 45, 54)→9 × 5 = 45; 9 × 6 = 54
Fourth option: (12, 60, 48)→12 × 5 = 60; 12 × 6 = 72 ≠ 48

So, only the third option follows the same pattern as followed by the given set of numbers. Hence, the third option is correct.

Question : Directions: Select the option figure in which the given figure is embedded (rotation is NOT allowed).

Option 1:

Option 2:

Option 3:

Option 4:

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer:


Solution : Since the rotation is restricted. So, the embedded figure will have the same orientation as the main figure. By comparison of the question figure with all the option figures, it is evident that the given question figure is embedded only in the fourth option figure.

Hence, the fourth option is correct.

Question : Directions: Which of the following numbers will replace the question mark (?) in the given series?
164, 172, 145, ?, 84

Option 1: 209

Option 2: 308

Option 3: 283

Option 4: 234

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 209


Solution : Given:
164, 172, 145, ?, 84

Add and subtract the cube of the consecutive natural numbers (starting from 2) alternatively from the previous term to get the next term in the series.

So, 209 is the missing term in the series. Hence, the first option is correct.
