By what percentage approximately is the batting average of Virat Kohli more than that of Gautam Gambhir?

Option 1: 80

Option 2: 85

Option 3: 75

Option 4: 70

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 85


Solution : Virat Kohli's batting average = $\frac{\text{Runs}}{\text{Inning – Not out}}$ = $\frac{752}{12-3}$ = 83.66
Also, batting average of Gautam Gambhir = 44.9
So, the required percentage = $\frac{\text{Difference in batting average}}{\text{Batting average of Gautam Gambhir}}×100$
= $\frac{83.66-44.9}{44.9}×100$
= $\frac{38.37}{44.9}×100$
= 85.45% (approx)
Hence, the correct answer is 85.

Question : Directions: In the following question, one statement is given followed by two conclusions I and II. You have to consider the statements to be true even if they seem to be at variance from commonly known facts. You have to decide which of the given conclusions, if any, follow from the given statement.
Statement:
Songs always have singers to sing them.
Conclusions:
I. Singers make a song.
II. There is no un-sung song.

Option 1: Only conclusion II follows

Option 2: Both conclusions I and II follow

Option 3: Neither conclusion I nor II follows

Option 4: Only conclusion I follows

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Neither conclusion I nor II follows


Solution : According to the given statement –
Conclusion I: Singers make a song.
This conclusion does not necessarily follow from the given statement. The statement mentions that songs have singers to sing them, which implies a relationship between singers and songs, but it does not explicitly state that singers make the song itself. A song can be created by songwriters, composers, or musicians, and singers may interpret or perform those songs.
Conclusion II: There is no un-sung song.
This conclusion is not directly addressed in the given statement. The statement indicates that songs have singers to sing them, but it does not make any claims about the existence or absence of un-sung songs. The statement is focused on the role of singers in singing songs, not on the status of un-sung songs.

So, neither conclusion I nor conclusion II follows. Hence, the third option is correct.

Question : The LCM and ratio of the three numbers are 1386 and 3 : 7 : 11, respectively. The sum of the greatest and least numbers is:

Option 1: 60

Option 2: 64

Option 3: 84

Option 4: 108

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 84


Solution : The LCM and ratio of the three numbers = 1386
Let the numbers be $3x, 7x,$ and $11x$.
According to the question:
$(3\times7\times11)x=1386$
⇒ $231x=1386$
$\therefore x=6$
Thus, Least number $= 3x=3\times6=18$
Greatest number $=11x=11\times6=66$
$\therefore$ Sum $=18+66=84$
Hence, the correct answer is 84.

Option 3: Snake

Option 4: Wolf

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024
