Question : Directions: In a certain code language, Live long is coded as mu ae, Road is long is coded as ae si du, and Game is live is coded as si mu zt. What is the code for the word Game?

Option 1: si

Option 2: mu

Option 3: zt

Option 4: ae

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: zt


Solution : Given:
1. Live long⇒mu ae
2. Road is long⇒ae si du
3. Game is live⇒si mu zt

By comparing all the coded sentences, we find that –
In sentences 1 and 2, long is a common word and ae is a common code.
In sentences 2 and 3, is is a common word and si is a common code.
In sentences 1 and 3, live is a common word and mu is a common code.
The remaining words and codes in sentence 2 are Road and du, sentence 3 are Game and zt.
Finally, long ⇒ ae; is ⇒ si, live ⇒ mu, Road ⇒ du, Game ⇒ zt

So, Game will be coded as zt. Hence, the third option is correct.

Question : Directions: Arrange the following words as per order in the dictionary.
1. Centre
2. Center
3. Central
4. Centrum

Option 1: 2, 1, 3, 4

Option 2: 2, 3, 4, 1

Option 3: 3, 2, 1, 4

Option 4: 2, 3, 1, 4

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 2, 3, 1, 4


Solution : Given:
1. Centre 2. Center 3. Central 4. Centrum

Step 1: Compare the first letter of each word. Since all the words start with the same letter C, then move on to the next letter.
Step 2: The second, third, and fourth letters of each word are the same, i.e., e, n, and t. So, move on to the next letter. 
Step 3: The fifth letter of each word is either r or e. Based on the alphabetical order of these letters, we can arrange them – Center, Centre, Central, Centrum
Step 4: Compare the sixth letter of (Centre, Central, Centrum). Central will come before Centre and Centrum in the sequence as a comes before e, and u in the alphabetical system. Similarly, Centre will come before Centrum as e comes before u.

So, the sequence is Center, Central, Centre, Centrum, or 2, 3, 1, 4. Hence, the fourth option is correct.

Question : The HCF of two numbers 960 and 1020 is:

Option 1: 40

Option 2: 120

Option 3: 60

Option 4: 80

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 60


Solution : Factors of 960 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 5
Factors of 1020 = 2 × 2 × 3 × 5 × 17
$\therefore$ HCF of 960 and 1020 = 2 × 2 × 3 × 5 = 60
Hence, the correct answer is 60.

Question : Directions: If A denotes +, B denotes ×, C denotes –, and D denotes ÷, then what will be the value of the following expression?
144 C 8 B 20 A 81 D 3 = ?

Option 1: 23

Option 2: 11

Option 3: 45

Option 4: 21

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 11


Solution : Given:
144 C 8 B 20 A 81 D 3 = ?

After replacing the letters with the mathematical signs, we get –
= 144 – 8 × 20 + 81 ÷ 3
= 144 – 8 × 20 + 27
= 144 – 160 + 27
= 11

So, 11 is the answer to the given equation. Hence, the second option is correct.

Question : If $\left(5 \sqrt{5} x^3-3 \sqrt{3} y^3\right) \div(\sqrt{5} x-\sqrt{3} y)=\left(A x^2+B y^2+C x y\right)$, then what is the value of $(3 A-B-\sqrt{15} C)$?

Option 1: –3

Option 2: –5

Option 3: 8

Option 4: 12

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: –3


Solution : Given: $\left(5 \sqrt{5} x^3-3 \sqrt{3} y^3\right) \div(\sqrt{5} x-\sqrt{3} y)=\left(A x^2+B y^2+C x y\right)$
⇒ $\frac{(5 \sqrt{5} x^3-3 \sqrt{3} y^3)}{(\sqrt{5} x-\sqrt{3} y)}=\left(A x^2+B y^2+C x y\right)$
⇒ $\frac{(x\sqrt{5})^3-(y\sqrt{3})^3)}{(\sqrt{5} x-\sqrt{3} y)}=(A x^2+B y^2+C x y)$
⇒ $\frac{(\sqrt{5}x-\sqrt{3}y)(5x^2+\sqrt{15}xy+3y^2)}{(\sqrt{5} x-\sqrt{3} y)}=(A x^2+B y^2+C x y)$
⇒ $5x^2+\sqrt{15}xy+3y^2=A x^2+B y^2+C x y$
On comparing,
⇒ $A=5$
⇒ $B=3$
⇒ $C=\sqrt{15}$
Now, $(3 A-B-\sqrt{15} C)$
Putting the values, we get:
= $(3\times5-3-\sqrt{15}\times\sqrt{15})$
= $(15-3-15)$
= –3
Hence, the correct answer is –3.

Question : What is the area of a triangle having a perimeter of 32 cm, one side of 11 cm, and the difference between the other two sides is 5 cm?

Option 1: $8\sqrt{30}$ cm2

Option 2: $5\sqrt{35}$ cm2

Option 3: $6\sqrt{30}$ cm2

Option 4: $8\sqrt{2}$ cm2

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $8\sqrt{30}$ cm2


Solution : Let the sides of the triangle be $a$, $b$, and $c$.
Given Perimeter = 32 cm
⇒ $a+b+c=32$ ...... equation (1)
One side, let $a$ =11 cm
Also, the difference between the other two sides, $b−c=5$........ equation (2)
Performing equation (1) + equation (2)
$a+2b=37$
⇒ $11+2b=37$
⇒ $2b=26$
⇒ $b=13$ cm
Now, using equation (2),
$c=b−5$
⇒ $c=13−5=8$ cm
Area of the triangle according to Heron's formula = $\sqrt{s(s−a)(s−b)(s−c)}$ where $s$ is the semi-perimeter
$s=\frac{11+13+8}{2} = 16$ cm
Area $= \sqrt{16(16−11)(16−13)(16−8)}$
$= \sqrt{16(5)(3)(8)}$
$= 8\sqrt{30}$ cm2
Hence, the correct answer is $8\sqrt{30}$ cm2.
